En Passant Sanglant
"As you requested Archon, I have launched an investigation into the current status of southern Connecticut, focusing primarily on the area surrounding Milford, New Haven, and surrounding counties. For a long time communication had gone black, but we have regained contact with the Prince. While the domain was able to drive off the Sabbat forces, and the Prince and his officers still hold control, the cities kindred population was decimated. The Malkavian Harpy is dead, having met his final death protecting the Prince, like some knight of better days, along with every one of his clan in the area. I would be pressed to assemble five neonates if I scavenged the entire southern half of the state. It takes a canny elder to survive such carnage unscathed, yet look lily-white in the aftermath. The only good sign is that the Sabbat appears to have suffered similar losses, their western flanks attack route having taken them directly through lupine territory, to near-mutual annihilation. I hear their bishop was decidedly displeased.
I am recommending we shuttle in as many promising, or not-so-promising, neonates as possible to this region to shore up the domain before it collapses. Send the power-seekers, the opportunists, and those whose desire for power outweighs their sense. Send the fools, the failures, and those who will not be missed. Let them take the risks in this decimated territory, to wrestle into control the nearly untouched influence structures that have fallen into chaos with the death of so many puppet-masters. If we are to reclaim this area for the Camarilla, then we will need pawns, and why not let them think /they/ are the ones rushing in to fill a power vacuum. It’s more or less the truth. I’ll check in later when I have more information."
The territories of southern Connecticut lay wide open, enticing, and a bonanza for the power hungry neonate trapped in a society where the old will never die, and opportunities for advancement are few. It is almost certainly dangerous, and your purpose is no doubt to secure this area with your blood and ambition, only to see elders from neighboring territories try to pluck your gains out of your hands. But still, how often does such an opportunity arise? How could one turn down such a chance to truly shine, free from the suffocating oversight of one’s sire or elders? To finally be free from control.
En Passant. One pawn takes another without having to move into its square.
En Passant Sanglant. He leaves a bloody mess behind in the so doing.
