Infernal Plague: Return of Nergal Storyline

[hardyrange]

Infernal Plague II Storyline Event
The Return of Nergal

Prologue: Alan Sovereign could follow a paper trail like no other. Of course, his ability to obscure financial transactions was also unparalleled. Alan's new responsibilities in Rome pushed even his limits, however, and he struggled to secure the Camarilla's remaining financial resources and to fund the coming war.

As he reviewed the wire transfers that had wiped out Camarilla investment accounts around the world, Alan could trace most of the transactions back to specific turncoats—identifying by name each traitor and recording their transgressions on a legal pad. All of the names were at least familiar to him, but he was genuinely shocked by a few that made his list. Alan figured that at least a couple were not willful in their treachery, either brainwashed Manchurians carefully placed within the Camarilla's ranks or possibly even unwitting accomplices. In addition, Alan reasoned that at least a few others were probably not turncoats at all. Up until this point, everyone had assumed that anyone who went missing that night had defected. He realized that some could have been tortured for their information and killed afterward. At least he hoped this was true, since it would mean that the infernal infiltration was not as pervasive as had been initially feared.

Alan also suspected that a handful of traitors probably remained within their ranks. Whether or not this was actually the case, there was now so much latent suspicion and fear that few princes were cooperating outside their own ranks of trusted advisors. The infernalist threat would require a unified response from the Camarilla—a prospect that was becoming increasingly unlikely.

Alan rose from his high-backed leather chair and turned to face an ill-fitting area of brick that had once been a window when the building was first constructed.

A knock on the office door went unacknowledged, as one of Alan's new associates entered.

"Mister Sovereign?" Stephen said. "Sir?"

"Yes," Alan responded, paying only partial attention.

Stephen moved forward cautiously. The gravity of Alan's new responsibilities created a remarkable transformation in his demeanor and in the way others related to him. Nothing remained of the bookish accountant, and now even his former peers were reluctant to meet his gaze.

"Sir, we have a report that Barbaro has left Rome and has traveled to Amman. It would seem more than a coincidence considering the Vatican's reports of a break-in and theft of what they are calling 'documents of historical significance.'"

"Leave me," Alan said quietly without turning around. He still didn't completely trust his new staff, and even though Hardestadt had hand-picked them all, one just couldn't be careful enough these nights.

Once the office door closed, Alan moved back to his desk and retrieved a report that had once seemed unimportant yet now took on new meaning. The report described minor raids by infernalists in Damascus and Chorazin but it concluded that the targeted locations were merely symbolic and wouldn't provide any strategic advantages.

Alan quickly modified an order for 500 Austrian Steyrs, and redirected the weapons shipment to the port of Aqaba.

"I don't know what they're up to," Alan conceded, "but I'll be damned if we won't be there to meet them."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beneath towering sheer cliffs Barbaro, Sela, and Helena walked through the narrow and twisting path that would lead to Petra. Working their way deeper into the heart of the mountain, they proceeded through the ravine and only occasionally glimpsed moonlight as it entered from between the tall peaks. The seemingly endless trek eventually opened into a view of magnificent buildings, carved directly into the red, pink, and orange cliffs. The ruins of Petra were still impressive and retained architectural traces of their Roman heritage. As their elevation increased, the three passed countless tombs cut directly into the mountain. While traversing a narrow path up the rocky face, Barbaro was awash in memories. He reflected on his role in the centuries of planning that were about to come to fruition.

Barbaro remembered with regret the exact moment the teachings of his mentor and fellow priest had taken an odd turn, and how his split-second decision to not end the lesson had paved the way into curiosity and eventually, interest in occult rituals. He recalled his own Embrace and rebirth within the walls of the Vatican and his struggle to reconcile his new nature with his old God. He would also never forget the night he realized that he too was just a tool—nothing more than a minor player on a grand stage. In a larger sense, he recognized that his story was not much different than that of Helena or Sela. All three had been sought out specifically for the task at hand. Helena's hatred of Menele and her willingness to pay any cost for even a weak and convoluted form of revenge made her an easy mark for Barbaro's manipulations, while Sela's naked ambition was even easier to mold. Barbaro wondered what his own flaw was that allowed him to be so easily manipulated those centuries ago, though that mattered little to him anymore. Warmed by the knowledge that he was about to earn his damnation rather than having it thrust upon him, Barbaro clutched the ancient text describing the Lasombra's ritual.

The flattened top of the peak revealed an ancient holy place. Centuries of wind and rain had served to smooth every sharp stone surface while deepening and refining every crevice. Barbaro was pleased to find the altar basically intact. In times past, death cultists, and the Nabateans before them, would slaughter their sacrifices upon the altar while the blood flowed through carved channels into smaller reservoirs. Additional canals would handle heavier run-off and distribute the blood to the furthest reaches of the plateau.

As the three stood near the altar, Barbaro produced the ancient text. He had rehearsed with Helena many times and was confident that she'd perform perfectly. Sela, however, would be able to play her part without rehearsal.

Helena stood silent and motionless for a moment, and a single black tentacle soon reached out from her hands and danced before them. While Barbaro's outstretched arms held the ancient text for Helena to read from, the moon's light transformed the scene around them—covering everything in an ever-deepening shade of purple. As Helena began to read aloud from the text, the tentacle leapt into her mouth and acted as a tongue while she mouthed the powerful words. Barbaro displayed an almost fatherly smile as he witnessed the power of Helena's potent blood.

Helena ceased speaking, and she and Barbaro turned toward Sela. As Sela began to speak, the tentacle retreated from Helena and jumped into Sela's mouth. The words she spoke were unintelligible, however, and seemed to be directed by the black tongue itself. Though her ears couldn't understand the words she spoke, Sela knew that she spoke of an Abyssal prison, and of doors… and keys… and sacrifice. Sela's eyes widened with understanding. Fear enveloped her as the ebony tongue rapidly sprouted offshoots that sprung forward and wrapped themselves completely around her. Sela let loose a garbled scream before her pitch-black body burst into a lightless flame that whirled around and displaced the moon's remaining light. Barbaro and Helena observed their sacrifice as the remnants of Sela formed a black pool upon the altar. The black sludge quickly filled the shallow reservoirs to capacity and the excess moved throughout the canals across the entire plateau.

The earth trembled as a sea of grey rats poured from an expanding pit in the center of the plateau. Helena advanced toward the opening and the fleeing rats parted for her. Helena's confidence grew with each step, and she descended the chasm without fear. In a flash of darkness, she stepped into the void.

Barbaro's warnings had been accurate, for the attacks came almost immediately. Helena steadied herself as she sensed the Abyssal creatures' attempts to possess her. She could feel their desire for such a powerful host, and she steeled her will against them. The gift of Lasombra flowed from her, and Helena repelled each attack with ease.

Helena moved with blinding speed within the Abyss and searched out the darkest places in creation. She peered into the physical world and witnessed a murder in a darkened alley and a secret conceived in a motel room. She sped past earthly prison cells, lightless caves and inner chambers, until she came to a place as dark as the sun is light—the blackness of an impossible midnight. From this place Helena called out, "Come forth Nergal, Prince of Hell. You have been freed from your shadow prison so that you may sate your thirst on the blood of Menele."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Between October 1st and December 18th, 2005 results of special Vampire: The Eternal Struggle tournaments from around the world will create the final chapter of this story.

Each player attending a designated storyline tournament will receive a special promo-only card of Nergal, Alan Sovereign (Advanced), and Helena (Advanced). These promo-only cards will remain in limited circulation for at least one year before being released into general support packages.

THE RULES
=========

Except as noted in these instructions, the tournament will follow the Standard Constructed Tournament format and current V:EKN rules.

* At least 75% (e.g., 9 out of 12) of the vampires in a player's crypt must be the same clan.

* Each player will receive one Nergal, Alan Sovereign (Advanced), and Helena (Advanced) promo-only card. Players may add one Alan Sovereign (Advanced) and one Helena (Advanced) promo-only card to his or her crypt before play begins. Only one Alan Sovereign (Advanced) and one Helena (Advanced) may be used in each crypt. For purposes of this event only, the group number of these two promo-only cards is ignored, and may be mixed with any otherwise legal crypt. The resulting crypt must still meet the 75% rule.

* Recalled to the Founder, True Faith, and Seeds of Corruption are banned.

* During his or her untap phase, Nergal's controller may burn a card played by any other Methuselah on Nergal.

* The final round will be played using a specially designed Nergal, Prince of Hell deck. All cards in this deck are illegal for play outside of this event and are clearly identified as such. The operation of this deck and rules for the final round are presented here in detail.

FINAL ROUND SETUP
==============

Before seating and order of play is determined for the Final Round, one finalist will be selected to play a specially designed Nergal, Prince of Hell deck. The option to play the Nergal deck will be offered first to the top-seeded player. If the top-seeded player refuses the opportunity to play the Nergal deck, the option passes to the second-seeded player and so on through the fourth-seeded finalist. If none of the first four seeded finalists choose to play the Nergal deck, the fifth-seeded player must play the deck instead of the deck with which he began the event.

Only the players NOT playing the Nergal deck will choose their seats and determine the order of play in the normal fashion. The Nergal deck player will play last in the turn order.

PREDATOR AND PREY
===============

The Nergal deck is the predator and prey of every other player. To make this easier to visualize, the Nergal deck can place its controlled cards in the center of the table. We'll refer to the Nergal deck as the virtual prey and virtual predator while we'll refer to the prey and predator who sit to the left and right of each player as each player's natural prey and natural predator.

Seating Example:

Aaron, Brian, Chad, Darby, and Eric are our five finalists. Eric, the top seed has accepted the Nergal deck and will play fifth in the turn order. The remaining four players choose seating as normal. Darby ends up preying on Aaron who preys on Brian who preys on Chad who preys on Darby. Darby is randomly selected to go first in the turn order. Eric, the Nergal deck player, sits between Chad and Darby and takes his turn fifth in the turn order (after Chad and before Darby).

Darby Aaron
Eric
Chad Brian

Each player has two prey and two predators (save for Eric who has four prey and predators). Brian preys on Chad and on Eric. Darby preys on Aaron and on Eric. Chad's predators are Brian and also Eric.

TARGETS
=======

Since all players now have multiple predators and prey, the Methuselah **playing a card** or **taking an action** may need to clarify which prey or predator their action or effect is targetting. Other effects are resolved using turn order to temporarily determine prey and predator.

Examples:

Aaron wishes to bleed with one of his vampires. The default bleeds action is directed at Aaron's prey. Since Aaron has two prey, a natural prey (Brian) and a virtual prey (Eric), he may choose to bleed either Brian or Eric with his bleed.

Chad plays a Night Moves action card, and one of his vampires may now bleed his predator or prey. Chad may choose to target his prey Darby, his predator Brian, or his virtual predator and prey, Eric.

Brian controls Afifa, The Herald and puts a Gehenna card in play. His prey burns 1 pool. Since Afifa's effect is not a card play or cardless action, her controller cannot choose who to target with the damage. Brian's natural prey, Chad, burns the 1 pool.

Darby is being bled by one of Chad's minions. Darby plays My Enemy's Enemy and may choose to send the bleed to Brian or Eric.

Darby is bled by Eric. Darby plays My Enemy's Enemy, and may choose to send the bleed to Aaron, Eric, Chad, or himself (since all are Eric's predators).

Reins of Power - The player who plays before the Nergal deck in the turn order is considered the Nergal deck's predator. The player following the Nergal deck in the turn order is considered its prey.

Millicent Smith, Puritan Vampire Hunter - Millicent moves to the natural predator.

WHO MAY BLOCK
==============

When any non-Nergal deck player takes an undirected action, the option to attempt to block is first given to his natural prey and then his natural predator. The acting player's virtual prey and predator—the Nergal deck player—has the next option to block.

When the Nergal deck player takes an undirected action, any player may block the action. The first opportunity is given to the player following the Nergal deck in the turn order and then the next player in the turn order and so on.

Who may normally block a directed action is not changed—the player being targetted by the directed action may attempt to block. Other players using cards such as Eagle's Sight may make block attempts beginning with the player following the acting player in the turn order.

NERGAL VICTORY CONDITIONS
========================

The Nergal deck wins if it is the last player standing. If the Nergal deck wins, its player may keep the Nergal deck. If the Nergal deck loses, the event's winner keeps the deck.

THE NERGAL, PRINCE OF HELL DECK
=========================

All of the library cards in this deck are variations of existing library cards and have been modified in various ways to represent Nergal's power. Read the card texts carefully and don't assume the cards work the same way as legal-for-play version. The crypt consists of only one vampire which is also illegal outside of this event.

THE WINNING CLAN
==============

We will keep a tally of the winning clans from each event. The clan that obtains the most storyline victories will be rewarded with a special card in the next available expansion.

REPORTING
=========

After your event, please complete the "INFERNAL PLAGUE: RETURN OF NERGAL STORYLINE QUESTIONNAIRE" (to be sent to the Prince list at a later date) and email it to vtesstory@white-wolf.com. For your event to count in the official tally, we must receive a Storyline Questionnaire that contains at least the name of your event's winning clan. A fully completed Storyline Questionnaire gives your event the opportunity to have additional impact on the developing storyline.

Um den einen Vampir kann es sich ja eigentlich nur um Nergal handeln. Ich hoffe, die guten Leute bei WW haben sich irgendwas einfallen lassen, damit der gute Nergel nicht sofort mit Pentex/Banish/PTO versehen wird, was generell die Schwäche von One-Man-Decks ist.

Wie gut müssen den die Library-Karten sein, damit der Nergal-Spieler überhaupt eine Chance hat??? Nergal spielt Majesty und bekommt ein Blood dafür?!?

Das Finale wird auf jeden Fall interessant, ich hätte mir allerdings auch die eine andere Änderung (wie auch immer aussehend) für die Vorrunden gewünscht.

[Decebalus]

Klingt alles sehr nett. ich finde aber auch ein problem, dass der Storyline Effekt nur für die Spielr greift, die ins Finale gekommen sind.

(Was spricht eigentlich dagegen, dass man schon in den Vorrunden immer ein Nergal-Deck mitspielen läßt?)

[hardyrange]

(Was spricht eigentlich dagegen, dass man schon in den Vorrunden immer ein Nergal-Deck mitspielen läßt?)

a) Dass wir nicht wissen, wie das Höllen-Deck funktioniert, und ob das nicht die Balance der Vorrunden vernichtet.
b) Dass dann immer irgendein Spieler auf sein normales Deck, das er sich liebevoll für den Event gebaut hat, verzichten muss.

c) Und ganz wichtig: Wenn Du das willst, und alle deine Spieler auch, dann mach doch!

Yes. (Thanks for bringing that up!) We'll have to make that clear when
this makes it to the White Wolf page. Of course, if clan "Nergal" wins
the reward card will end up being Baali and not clan Nergal.

Just a little souvenir of your victory. Thought about offering the
scalps of your opponents instead but we settled on this.

Derzeit kursieren noch weitere gute Fragen - ich halte euch auf dem Laufenden über alle Updates.

[Decebalus]

(Was spricht eigentlich dagegen, dass man schon in den Vorrunden immer ein Nergal-Deck mitspielen läßt?)

a) Dass wir nicht wissen, wie das Höllen-Deck funktioniert, und ob das nicht die Balance der Vorrunden vernichtet.

Welche Balance ist den in den Vorrunden anders als in den Endrunden. Man will das Spiel gewinnen.

b) Dass dann immer irgendein Spieler auf sein normales Deck, das er sich liebevoll für den Event gebaut hat, verzichten muss.

Wo ist der Unterschied zur Endrunde. da MUSS auch einer verzichten.

Das Argument, was wohl wirklich dagegen spricht ist wohl folgendes:
In den Vorrunden kann immer nur ein Tisch ein Nergal-Deck haben. Dieser Tisch funktioniert dann deutlich anders, als die anderen Tische. Dieses Ungleichgewicht gibt es nicht, da es ja nur einen Final-Tisch gibt.

c) Und ganz wichtig: Wenn Du das willst, und alle deine Spieler auch, dann mach doch!

Natürlich. Deshalb ja auch meine Frage.

Yes. Though, the VPs don't do the Nergal deck much good since they are
shooting for last player standing as their victory condition.

Nur mal ne bloede frage. Ist das Game zu Ende wenn der Nergalspieler stirbt oder geht es dann normal weiter? Falls es normal weitergeht waere doch die logische Folge das man sagt wir schmeisen alle zusammen zuerst das Nergaldeck raus bekommen alle nen VP und 6 pool. Oder verstehe ich das falsch?

Theoretisch ja. Praktisch wird es wie bei allem sein, dass jeder versucht möglichst wenig resourcen für die gemeinsame Sache zu opfern und das Nergal Deck wird stärker sein als normale Decks.

[hardyrange]

Ist das Game zu Ende wenn der Nergalspieler stirbt oder geht es dann normal weiter?

Siehe meine frühere Post oben: Es geht normal weiter. Die anderen noch im Spiel befindlichen Spieler bekommen je 1 VP und 6 Pool und tragen es dann unter sich aus wie die Männer.

Falls es normal weitergeht waere doch die logische Folge das man sagt wir schmeisen alle zusammen zuerst das Nergaldeck raus bekommen alle nen VP und 6 pool. Oder verstehe ich das falsch?

Die Überlegung haben auch andere schon angestellt, ja.

He'll be more powerful than you are used to. He probably cannot take
on all four other players. If he was as powerful as some players are
thinking then everyone would **have to** gang up on him. Since he's
probably *NOT* powerful enough to take on all other players, that opens
up the game to the possibility that someone will leave Nergal around
and try to take him out later. If, for example, Nergal bleeds your
prey for a lot and sends his vampires to torpor, you'll be given the
choice of bleeding your prey or rescuing his vampires to help kill the
Nergal deck.

That's possible. They'd probably be successful too. In practice it may
not work out that way, though. Sorta like the guy with one bullet who
holds off the mob..."which one of you wants to take the bullet?"

> Then his life is likely to be pretty short...

Of course, any Nergal deck player worth his salt is going to do his
best to make it in someone's best interest to oust their prey. Will
you, for example, continue to attack the Nergal deck--risking your own
vampires' health and maybe making it impossible for you to win the
"normal" game that follows? Will you do that when your prey is
tapped-out and has only 1 pool left? Maybe you
will. Do you also trust the other players enough to tap out repeatedly
in front of them? Will your opinion change when your own pool is down
to 1 and your prey has 1 pool and no blockers? If a player breaks the
arrangement and does something self-serving isntead of attacking
Nergal, how will the other players treat them? Will players lie about
their ability to harm Nergal in an effort to preserve their own
resources for the "normal" game? For example, holding onto a Bum's
Rush and telling everyone you don't have any rush cards--just so you
can keep your own vampire alive?

Sorta like the infernal auction seemed like it might result in
"infinite pool" for someone, things like greed, self-interest, and
self-preservation may intervene.

Um den einen Vampir kann es sich ja eigentlich nur um Nergal handeln. Ich hoffe, die guten Leute bei WW haben sich irgendwas einfallen lassen, damit der gute Nergel nicht sofort mit Pentex/Banish/PTO versehen wird, was generell die Schwäche von One-Man-Decks ist.

Vielleicht einen built-in Sudden Reversal. Ich meine, in dem Deck muss ja wirklich jede Karte der Hammer sein, damit er auch nur die geringste Chance hat. Oder er muss saugierige Finalteilnehmer haben. Sonst keine Chance. Immerhin kann JEDER den Nergalspieler direkt bleeden gehen. Vier * Anzahl der minions Bleeds pro Runde sollte eigentlich direkt ins Verderben führen, außer er kann fast jeden nett auf einen von der Gegenseite deflecten oder so. Oder alle minions direkt blocken und aufessen :ironchefwilly: . Ich hätte tierisch Bock, das Ding zu spielen. Aber Topseed ist eh wieder der Erol.

Also,
so wie es aussieht und wenn ich Hardy richtig verstanden habe, findet das Storylineturnier in Bochum am 4.12 statt.


Wie sieht es denn bei euch aus; wann findet das Ganze in Mannheim, Frankfurt, Köln, münchen etc. statt.
