While the war in Amsterdam is still raging, and their hometown is not yet safe enough, the coterie of Lucius gets sent to far-away Hungaria to build an outpost for the Camarilla. They go without the graces of Tremere Franceska. She has her duties to attend to in the chantry in Amsterdam.

Budapest May 5th
We're underground in a (sort of) cave like 'conference room'. A certain Lucretia van Hartz bids us welcome in the name of our patron Jurgen van Veerden. We're chosen to perform a most honourable task for the Camarilla. We're so special, a select few, yadayadayada Yeah right, we're the foot soldiers that won't be missed, we probably can be missed as hell. But they shouldn't count on losing us, not me anyway.
Our mission: Build a fortress in the mountains between the Hungarian Karpathians and Transylvania.
If we succeed we'll be rewarded with Princedoms in the aria, like anyone would like to live there in the middle of nowhere surrounded by sabbat! Oh and by the way, if we happen to come across ancient writings (which are supposed to be in the foundations of the old fortress) Lucretia will (of course) be most pleased to receive them. Great! now we have to dig up stuff for her majesty.
Although we haven't left yet I can't wait to be back in the city!
We will travel for two weeks before we arrive. We can only reach the destination in sports utility vehicles.
I'm not looking forward to is. I wonder what those fellows from Haarlem and Amsterdam have done wrong to be send off to this hellhole...
We're dismissed and I decide to check out the wheels and the ghouls that come with them. A guy named Gianni is the boss. They all speak German.
May 6th
In one of the cars we discuss how we’re going to act when we're on the scene.
We drive to a village, where we spend the day. We get our rooms but the staff seem to find the fact that we don’t want to be disturb during the day suspicious.
Next day Lucius' passport has been stolen, and one of the ghouls has also lost something. Gianni tries to find out what happenend through the manager, but doesn't succeed.
When we investigate we find a footprint at the window in Lucius' room someone has done something whith the blinds. Lucius could have easily been killed. It seems that people around here know about Kindred.
In the next village we come across a sort of slave market in the middle of the night. A young girl escapes and runs away, I quickly follow her but so does the salesman. I reach the girl first and convince her that I mean well. Roland, the salesman works on behalf of Venko Ricard, Prince of Budapest.
May 7th
We try to act as normal as possible and Aalvar even eats!
Aalvar transforms into a bird and goes to Cluj (Kindred name: Klausenburg) to announce our arrival to the prince. The prince refuses, we cannot enter the city.
Then we run in to an idiot who speaks in tongues and rants about our arrival. After that he sets some rag and tag mob on us with torches. We escape the scene, only to find ourselves in trouble on the road. With guerrilla-like tactics unseen men from the side of the road attack our vehicles and we lose two of those. We had some luck, because the one we have left held the heavy weapons we took along.
Just when we were winning the battle, a sort of gay man turned up. Lucius was all drooling and down on his knees for the guy. He told us he was Myca Vykos and on his way to Bistriz, which happened to be our next stop. From the goodness in his heart he wanted to help us. O, how grateful we are. Blah.
