"Oh Sir the entrance is a spell" he says half dazed.

"A wizard did this for them" Maximillian grunts.

OOC: In Vampires world there are basically four major types of supernatural entities: Vampires, Werewolf, Fairies and Wizards/Mages. Mages were human, but when magic awakens in them they become something else (for instance powers that work on humans don't work on them). Generally their powers are unpredictable and weird but few would match Lysander in strength

Necro · 31-01-2020 8:50pm

Lysander looks at the man.

'Do you or any of the men with you know the spell?'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 8:54pm

"Yeah............." the look around at each other and then one walks over to a tree and scratches a symbol into the bark. A portal opens up next to him. Spherical in shape, Lysander can see a lab crew on the other side turn in fear and start shouting. Red kalxon alarms can be seen going off.

Necro · 31-01-2020 8:57pm

Lysander motions to the others to attack and steps through the portal, summoning the shadows from outside in with him

OOC: Shroud of Night in the lab

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:01pm

Lysander emerges into a strange lab. Six massive cylindrical containers extend from roof to ceiling with various coloured goos being fed into them and terminals monitoring their vitals. The vampires make short work of the military officers in the complex, leaving only the scientists alive of which there are eight in total.

Lysander stands over the scientists, allowing his Dominate to touch their minds but does not attempt to use it.. yet.

'What are you doing here. Tell me truthfully and you may yet live'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:09pm

"We have captured some of the more powerful...the most powerful supernatural beings from here in California...tha..." one begins "...that one was for you"

He points to the sealed tank with 03 on it. The other five have occupants according to the terminals. Though what they are cannot be seen.

Necro · 31-01-2020 9:11pm

Lysander gestures to his other Lasombra.

'Keep watch - I will inspect these terminals.'

He moves closer to see if he can make out who is within

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:20pm

The tanks read:

01 - Werewolf Prime Alpha
02 - Hengeyōkai
04 - Firstborn True Fae
05 - Gilledian Nephandi
06 - Malfean

The fifth tank is marked as incredibly dangerous. The last tank is marked as not possible to open without clearance from the highest ranking members of the Inquisition.

Necro · 31-01-2020 9:22pm

Lysander looks to the scientists

'Can you open these? Give me the codes if you can - then my friends will take you to... safety.'

Lysander shares a knowing look with the others.

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:27pm

"Not the last two please. I have the codes..." one says and from his tag he is a senior member "...but please do not open them"

'Why not - you have trapped them here like rats. Explain what the purpose of this facility is'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:32pm

"To experiment...learn about our enemies...create something stronger...that we control..."

He glances at the final tank.

"We don't actually have a Malfean, just a portal that looks out on one in its home plane. If you lower the tank's shielding it might notice us and...and who knows what it will do. Please you mustn't open it. Kill us, but don't go near it"

Necro · 31-01-2020 9:36pm

'I will consult with my Primogens and we will decide what to do.'

He turns to the rest.

'Should we release them all? I wish for your opinions on this as well.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:38pm

"Kill them Sire" seems to be unanimous conclusion.

Necro · 31-01-2020 9:41pm

Lysander gestures to the senior member.

'Open the first four. I will spare your life if you do this. The rest...'

He shrugs and nods to the others.

Fourier · 31-01-2020 9:58pm

The tanks release slowly.

The Werewolf stand fifteen foot tall, thick golden fur, claws as long as a man and deep set glowing red eyes.
The second tank contains a being that looks like a man-shark of some form. Nine foot in height.

These first two are sedated.

The next has an elven looking creature. It looks at Lysander when he opens the tank.

The final one is a man in a gown, who also stares at Lysander.

They don't step out of tanks but continue watching him.

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:00pm

Lysander gestures to the portal.

'You are free - the Inquisition has been quashed.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:06pm

The man speaks to Lysander.

"Why would you do this?"

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:10pm

'To send a message to them. That we are not just savages fighting for control. We can co-exist - and crush those who would try to harm us.

I have their leader in my complex. Drop by some time if you want to... hehe... pay your respects.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:23pm

The man nods and then in the blink of an eye vanishes.

The Fae creature looks at Lysander.

"The Dragon? And the Girl?" she says curious, looking at Lysander. Then she speaks more flatly "Come to our courts should you need a favour. I owe you now" Then she speaks into Lysander's mind.

**And I wish to meet Clarissa. I might know something about her. You've seen her cabin? So have I**

She then vanishes into a pile of thorns that emerge from the ground and leave behind a strange tangled bush with purple fruits.

The other two remain sedated.

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:26pm

Lysander gestures to his Lasombra.

'Take the sedated ones outside. Leave the scientist with me, dawn will be breaking soon.'

Lysander stares at the scientist.

'You thought I would kill them all didn't you. Open the 5th chamber. Then you can leave.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:33pm

The vampires leave Lysander and the scientist alone.

"Look..." he says "...I know you can just command me to do this. But you don't want to"

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:36pm

'Oh, but I do. I want both open, though the last one terrifies you so much you'd rather be dead. But number 5 you didn't say the same thing about.

Open it.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:39pm

He slowly approaches number 5 and releases it.

Within is another one of the man Lysander just saw.

"Hello again!" he says as he steps out.

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:41pm

Lysander regards the man.

'Hello... I'm sure you heard the other conversation. You are free to leave like the others.'

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:44pm

"Thank you. They had separated me you see. As a thank you I'll not try to obtain a sample of your blood for my experiments. Did you know you're the most corrosive and corrupting thing in this entire state? But alas magic has little effect on you. Pity, I could use you to extinguish my enemies. Well au revoir!" he says with a wave and vanishes.

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:47pm

Lysander regards the sixth tube, the temptation within him to open is very strong.

'I will leave it closed... for now. But if you wish to live - and... I will allow this - give me the codes. Who knows, someday I may return and open it for myself.'

Lysander awaits the man's response.

Fourier · 31-01-2020 10:48pm

"No way" the man says resolutely.

Necro · 31-01-2020 10:50pm

Lysander forces his Dominate into the man's mind.

'The codes, now.'
