Hello there everyone it's your pal Razz-to the-Razzy Razzman here once again with another session report for the VTM LARP at Wira Games Shop. Man... it was a wild one, as this is the season finale for this LARP Campaign I will be writing a long one. It will be awhile before we get to play this again.

Following the betrayal of Brash the Anarch Warlord who intends to unleash the slumbering ancient beneath Carcossa Seri Negara the Damansara Coterie had to brace for an imminent attack by the Sabbat before they could stop the plans of the traitorous Anarch Warlord.
What resulted was an intense battle between the Damansara Coterie which combined the forces of both the Camarilla and the Anarchs against an army nightmarish flesh abominations created through the Viccisitude discipline on the side of the Sabbat.
Staying true to their reputation as inhuman monsters that cared nothing for the sanctity of life the Sabbat had unleashed their most heinous creation yet... a veritable menagerie of grotesque half-human and half-animal monsters known as Szlatcha as well as hulking monstrosities known as the Vozhd to act as shock troops and cannon fodder. This misshapen army, it would appear was crafted from the flesh and bones of not only the Tzimisce Master's human ghouls but also from the entire animal collection annexed from Zoo Negara. The end result was a unholy mob of chimeric creatures with mismatched bodies and limbs that would put even the creations of the fictional Doctor Moreau to shame. Despite the wave of horrors that descended upon the defenders of Carcossa, our stalwart Kindred heroes consisting of Malik the Brujah bruiser, Kelvin the fleet Toreador, Danny the Walking Armory, Vick the Young Prince, Baharuddin the Gangrel loremaster and new arrival Raja Putra from the Anarchs not only stood valiant against the encroaching mob but also managed to push the monstrous hordes back.

As the fighting intensified at the main hallway of Carcossa another titanic battle was taking place between High Prince Konigh and the nameless Tzimisce Master, this fight between two vampire elders tore apart much of the opulent interior of Carcossa rending walls and ceilings alike to mere shingles. As this battle raged on, it became increasingly apparent that the Tzimisce Master was too much of a adversary for the High Prince who could only hold back thanks to his prodigious discipline of Fortitude but soon help arrived in the form of Kelvin, Baharuddin, Malik and Danny all whom were bruised and bloodied but otherwise still in fighting shape. The Tzimisce elder unleashed true unbridled fury lashing out with tentacle appendages, Malik and Baharuddin covered the front taking the brunt of the furious elder's attacks reprising with Potence fuelled fists and aggravating Shape of the Beast claw attacks while Danny and Kelvin fired shot after shot from their guns. With the younger kindred keeping the Tzimisce elder occupied, High Prince Konigh was able to launch several decisive attacks of his own methodically wearing down the Tzimisce's defences. Finally, after much time slugging it out with the Master, Konigh vented all his frustration and anger upon the Sabbat elder by repeatedly bashing his body against the vault doors in an effort to break down the threshold protecting Brash and his mind controlled entourage.
At this point it would seem that the battle is going well... however this whole time unknown to many it would appear that someone has taken it upon himself to secretly record the entire proceedings of tonight's battle royale...
Meanwhile, whilst most of the coterie's attention was focused upon the Sabbat, Brash was able to subjugate important authority figures among the Camarilla through the use of a blood ritual that allowed him to gain utter obedience over anyone whom which he shared a bloodline which included the likes of elders such as Dato' Nusa Mega, leader of the Society of Carcossa and Colonel Julius Diaz, Brujah primogen and leader of the Knights of Tun Templer. He then used the influence of his new pawns to put the entirety of Carcossa Seri Negara's security force under his command to guard the dominated mystics as they undid the seals protecting the slumbering Methuselah beneath Carcossa. However, through the efforts of Young Prince Vick and Raja Putra of the Anarchs whom both used their Presence discipline were able to momentarily disrupt the chanting of the ritual participants. But as it turns out this was but a minor setback as once the ritualists had regained their composure were able to continue their chanting and finally break the seal. In order to force the compliance of the slumbering ancient, Brash instructed his grandchilde Nusa Mega to inject the ancient with a large syringe filled with Brash's blood thus forcing the blood bond upon the ancient.

What happened next seemed so unreal one would think it was a dream... after countless centuries of peaceful meditation the elder wakened once more but instead of becoming a ravening blood starved elder as everyone would predict he instead exuded an aura of unnatural calm and serenity. With but a gesture the ancient exerted total control over his would-be-subjugator forcing Brash to walk like a puppet dangled upon strings and when the High Prince lashed out trying to kill his old foe Brash or Daeng Parani as he was once known to Konigh many centuries ago, the ancient instead intervened by exerting his will upon Konigh and rendering the High Prince unable to move. The Ancient explained that he was so close to achieve the transcendent state Golconda but this untimely awakening has stirred his dormant Beast to the surface once again. All of the others present could only watch in awe at the majesty of the almost transcendent ancient and then like an ascending angel he flew off into the night sky but not before whisking away with both Daeng Parani and High Prince Konigh but to where? And to what end? No one knows, at least for the time being. With that the battle of Carcossa came to an abrupt end, with countless mangled bodies on the floor and a ravaged interior of the once lavish house of Carcossa as testament to tonight's tumultuous turn of events.
At this point all the kindred present breathe a sigh of relief that the assault upon Carcossa has finally come to an end and most, if not all take a single moment to rejoice in the fact that they had survived another night.
After that almost instantaneously things snap back to reality...
WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED!?!? The ancient is free and he took with him two of the most powerful kindred in East Malaysia... NOT TO MENTION SOMEBODY HAS FUCKED THE MASQUERADE BY TAKING A VIDEO OF THE WHOLE THING ON HIS DAMNED SMARTPHONE!!!
Immediately, Danny points his gun at the perpetrator, Patrick Sim the Torrie. Using his celerity the coward hides behind Vick, the hammer is cocked and Danny's gun is pointed right at the Prince... everyone else is fuming their eyes locked upon that shifty son of a bitch. Vick yells in protest to stop Danny from firing his gun, meanwhile all fingers point to Patrick blaming and cursing him for not only watching from the sidelines but threatening the Masquerade by recording the entire thing on his smartphone camera. The timing could not have been worse... after all that this? After all the betrayal witnessed today THIS!??! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?!? Eventually Danny holsters his weapon and the kindred discuss their next move.

Next stop, Elysium. We need to figure this shit out...
After taking some time to settle down everyone got down to discuss matters. Firstly was to have Patrick surrender his smartphone with the recording of tonight's brawl, to which Patrick obliged after some deliberation.
As for the matter of the Masquerade, Carcossa has to be cleaned up of all supernatural remains before the press and the authorities arrive, time to set the ghouls to work.
With a significant loss of leadership among various factions of the Camarilla and Anarchs, the main agenda was now to consolidate power and find suitable replacements for the missing leaders with Volkar becoming the new leader of the Carcossans, Vick as temporary acting Prince of Kuala Lumpur, Malik will be acting head for Knights of Tun Templer until a suitable candidate can be found and Anarchs to elect a new Warlord of their choosing.
There was also the matter of Colonel Julius Diaz who promptly surrendered after Brash's control over him had been disrupted, his betrayal this night along with his previous failures to come to the defense of the Camarilla from Sabbat attacks rendered him stripped of his position as leader of the Knights of Tun Templer.
Next came the matter of the Black Archives, with all its text now translated by Baharuddin's ghoul Mr. Yong revealed that the Kuei Jin or Cathayans or Kindred of the East as they sometimes called in the west around the Klang Valley area have been kept at bay all this while thanks to a "peaceful aura" surrounding the area. Volkar also admitted to the fact that he had contributed to the contents of Black Archives by planting a false prophecy one that Brash has naively believed which ultimately led to Brash's downfall and betrayal.
It was quickly surmised that the source of the aura was indeed the Ancient seeing as it had been spending all this time meditating and contemplating Golconda. However this meant that with the Ancient gone that the Kuei Jin would inevitably make their return and that any kind of encounter would not likely be amicable given the history of two supernatural races.
With the betrayal of Brash and the realization that no matter what sect he is on that he can never escape being used by the elders, Baharuddin has had a change of heart and decided to secede from the Anarchs and once again rejoin his coterie members in the Camarilla as part of Prince Vick's court. He always considered his coterie members to be his true family and that despite the powers that be that it was better to face these Final Nights alongside trusted friends. Subsequently he also relinquished his hold over the Black Archives and surrendered the text to the Camarilla as a token of good faith with the condition that it's contents in regards to the Kuei-Jin was shared with both the Camarilla and the Anarchs.
On to the matter of Patrick Sim the Toreador who took upon himself to film the entire spectacle of the battle. It was indeed a huge breach of Masquerade and yet he made no efforts to try and hide what he did. He claimed that he did it in order record the abilities of the Ancient and to keep what he considered to be valuable data for future research. However the risk of a Masquerade breach was too great and in the end it was agreed upon that the recording be destroyed thus preventing any more breaches to Masquerade. Patrick claims that this whole time he was acting on behalf of the Prince of Penang to help Vick's coterie but when he asked for the Prince to vouch for him, Prince Red ultimately decided that it was best to cut Patrick loose and send a new, more capable agent.
In recognition of Raja Putra's efforts in the defense of Carcossa he was made the official liaison between the Anarchs and the Camarilla. He would also be given a seat in future Elysium meetings that were not internal Camarilla affairs. As a further condition to ultimately return the Black Archives to the Anarchs, Kelvin proposed that Brash's underground fight club be jointly owned by the Anarchs and Camarilla to instill further cooperation and good relations between the two sects.
Also, to ensure that there no more elements of Brash's treachery remained within the ranks of Anarchs, the joint Elysium council decided that an agent be sent to sniff out any and all fanatics to Brash's cause. To this end they sent out Saint Nick the Malkavian Inquisitor to employ his considerable powers of Auspex to weed out any remnants of Brash's influence, accompanying him would be Kelvin just as a precaution knowing the volatility of one of Malkav's blood.
Lastly in order to learn more about the Kuei-Jin and how to deal with them for the benefit of all the Kindred of Kuala Lumpur, Baharuddin has agreed to partner up with Patrick to learn all they can from the Black Archives. All findings will be shared with every Kindred regardless of sect as the threat of the Kuei-Jin would be the concern of all. Furthermore, any Kuei-Jin related incidents must be brought up so as the proper responses can be enacted.
With that all the Kindred departed for a well deserved respite from tonight's unravelling. While there will no doubt be an accounting for when the press and the police descend upon Carcossa all evidence of supernatural involvement will be wiped clean. No doubt a likely scenario will have to be fabricated in order to preserve the Masquerade.
Judging from the magnitude of tonight's breach to the Masquerade it has been agreed upon that all Kindred involved keep their heads low until the whole affair has had time to settle down which means that it will be awhile before the Coterie of Damansara can convene like this again. While no doubt some relief can be reaped from tonight's incident with the loss of both Brash and the High Prince, the looming threat of Kuei-Jin could be just around the corner...
And that, my friends is the season finale for this VTM LARP chronicle: Damansara by Night!

And that, my friends is the season finale for this VTM LARP chronicle: Damansara by Night!
While many questions have been answered it would seem that there now new intrigues have been added to the mix, such as Where is the Ancient now? And what of the fate of Brash and the High Prince? With Konigh gone, what of Sirius Black the Sheriff? What other secrets could the Black Archives hold? Is the threat Sabbat truly been eliminated? When will the Kuei-Jin emerge and what are their plans for the Kindred?
All this and more will have to wait until confirmation for a second season of this chronicle can be discussed. Until then this whole LARP campaign has been a great success with steadfast interest for it's continuity assured.
