York is being harassed by the Vampire murderer. The Coterie has been asked to find the truth behind stories of a vampire child in York, but as soon as they arrive in the city, they are used by all sides in a fiendish game. The question is not if they will survive, but how many will survive, as some have disappeared, and one of them met Final Death.

Nightfall! At least we thought it was, actually it was still daylight outside the cave we were sleeping in. Apparently we woke up earlier due to sounds outside, a fact confirmed by Anowan using her Auspex powers. John can hear approximately fifteen people talking outside about sucking fleas, by which they apparently mean us.
Fitzgerald meanwhile tries to find out more about the bodies lying here using Insight and almost completely freaks out, seeing claws, trees panic and werewolves. He gets an impression of a room with a great hairy creature. Fortunately he manages to control himself or he would have run straight out of the cave into daylight. A great loss indeed.
Anowan again gets that urge to examine the bodies. She identifies a body as MacFarlane, who has an adresscard and some money, which she takes. Joeri lies among the bodies, shot dead. Jack tries to dig his way out but doesn't come far.
The fifteen people await us, apparently being the Coyote-pack werewolves who have just killed the Mouse-pack who had attacked us. The Mouse-pack did this because they had contact with the Prince who is doing the most horrible things lately, so says Horatio the leader. They think he is the vampire-killer, and he arranged to have us killed by the Mouse-pack. They intercepted a phone-call confirming this. They want the location of the Prince and our help in killing him.
Anowan recalls that the Prince had a woman who has disappeard perhaps it is love-sickness which makes him do all this?
Horatio gives us a car and lets us go, if we help in getting rid of the Prince by opening a back-door for them we can exchange more information then. Therefore we exchange phonenumbers. (06-87530489).
First we go looking for clues at the ambush-site, and to look for Jozef, during which Anowan again gets her urge to examine dead bodies, Joeri's body, lying in the back of the car. She even goes so far as to give Jack a piece. John isn't happy with this and a brawl starts, he loses. (hehehehe).
Anyway, Fitzgerald tries to call Jozef's spirit and manages that, confirming his death. After this John insists visiting Elizabeth Malroye for who he was investigating. She admits that things aren't well with the Prince since a week. That the werewolves keep him responsible for the vampire-killings and therefore attracting undue attention. His woman who disappeared was a Gangrel named Magpie, and she too could have done those murders. All this is bad for the Masquerade.
Elizabeth also gives some info on the nightly afairs of the Kindred of York. She mentions some primogen members:
Marie d'Anceny, Toreador leader, ignored by the Prince
Mathew McCrae old gangrel priest
Prince Edward from London, ancient foe of the Prince, has something to do with The War of the Roses
Thorolf, gangrel leader, on good footing with the werewolves
Anowan wants to be driven to her house, there closeby she speaks with someone.
She stays, while the rest goes to sleep in the nearby mines.
