Crusade Columbia: Part I
SEPTEMBER 23 1999 - As I awoke with evening's freshness a package was waiting for me. I noticed the telltale signs of the Tzimisce Cardinal, Lambach. A rush of adrenaline coursed through my veins, as I knew my orders waited within the box. Intrigue set in as I opened the box to find various articles of clothing, some interesting jewelry, and a letter with Lambach's wax seal.
Good Morning Justicar,
Don't be so shocked at the thought, you will become one soon...
Your ability to hide your thoughts from prying vampires is renowned, as you successfully infiltrated the Camarilla in the past and were a vital part of the Crusade in Mexico City. This time we intend to use your skills once more in deceiving the foolish Brujah Prince of Columbia, thereby gaining control of Columbia and all of South Carolina.
If you manage to accomplish the goals set forth in this agenda, your ascendance to Priscus will be imminent.
The Brujah Justicar Don Cruez, while on a trip to Romania earlier this year, fell into our trap and was captured. Since then, we have continued to mold him into a better fiend, all the while keeping in close contact with the conclave. His next move is to Columbia - you will be there in his place. The poor Prince has an audience willing to support him as he tries to fend off the Sabbat advances into Columbia. Gwendolyn has decided it's time for someone with some clout to show up and help put an end to this uprising. She has called on Don Cruez.
Included in this care package are three pints of this old Justicar's blood, carefully extracted over the pass few months. Also, you will find all the accessories necessary to pull off the disguise. Your aptitude in vicissitude is known throughout the circles of the Sabbat and you will have no trouble crafting yourself into this new shape.
You will help the poor Prince drive out the Sabbat in three battles over the next month, the last being the attack on the Elysium of the city. The victory will be celebrated at the annual Halloween ball being hosted by the local Toreadors. This is when we will wipe the Camarilla of Columbia, South Carolina into extinction.
SALVE,
LAMBACH
It would take me but a few days to tie up my business affairs here in Milwaukee and to change my self into the Don Cruez. As I finished up my last ear, a sense of pleasure and power flowed within. I was now in a place of respect and distrust - it felt good to have authority. Catching the 8 PM flight to Columbia, I arrived a little past midnight local time. At the airport I was rushed into a limo and was on my way to the Prince's abode and the royal ruse.
