Black Miracles and Lies
Prologue
The last time I saw such prophecies, Constantinople burned, but its
ashes gave us the Sabbat. As then, many will burn, their reddish
embers filling the Final Nights like dead stars. Is this our end? No,
but it is a transformation. My sire once spoke of his sire and said
‘change breeds itself and at one point, the head must bite the tail to
start the cycle once more.’
-Sascha Vycos, Angel of Caine on the prophecies of the Kaymakli
Fragment
**************
The sound of her boots on the hard stone floor echoed around the
confined space as Mercy, Knight Inquisitor stepped into the small
chapel in the Temple of Eternal Whispers. She stood for a moment
before the statue of Caine, father to all her kind, before drawing her
sword from beneath her long black coat, setting it on the ground
before the altar, and kneeling in prayer. Mercy prayed for guidance,
and she prayed for strength.
For years, Mercy had been chief Inquisitor of Montreal, leading the
Kindred of the city in their efforts to expunge the too-frequent
infernal threats to the city. In that time, she had never dealt with a
threat on par with the one she was currently confronted with. Helena,
a Toreador elder, who wore the infernal taint like an intoxicating
perfume, had appeared among the Kindred of Montreal and turned the
city on its head.
Everyone who had encountered her had fallen under Helena's spell. The
Librarians were tripping over themselves to hand over their secrets.
The Widows sheltered her, worshiped her. Even Archbishop Benezri, once
strong and vigilant, had grown sullen and silent, implicated by his
feeble inaction.
Mercy had reported the situation to her master in the Inquisition.
She had demanded soldiers, action, and blood. They had responded with
questions, lines of inquiry, and promises.
Among the pack leaders of Montreal, only Ezekiel had been quick to
pledge his support to her. He had insisted that the Black Hand was
prepared to serve the Inquisition. Ezekiel was naked in his
opportunism, more interested in deposing Benezri than confronting the
true threat. He could be used, but not trusted.
Mercy was prepared to do what was needed, alone if need be. Support
would come once the stakes had been made clear. She would isolate
those who opposed her, starting with the weakest among them, and tear
their minds and bodies apart. Mercy would provide a graphic
demonstration of real power, of the price of opposing the Inquisition,
of the costs of supporting the infernalist. She would learn of
Helena's purpose in Montreal, and then she would set her trap.
Mercy prayed for success. She prayed for a miracle.
*****************
Jan Pierterzoon sat comfortably in a sumptuous boudoir on the ninth
floor of the Chateau Frontenac, the main landmark of Quebec City. Deep
in thought, he waited patiently to be introduced to Prince Annabelle,
Tremere Lord and Regent of the Quebec Chantry. The city was completely
under Tremere influence, a powerful stronghold.
“Monsieur Pierterzoon?” said a ghoul at the door. Jan snapped out of
his reverie. That was the same ghoul that had picked him up at the
airport. Arsene de Blainville was his name. More than 250 years under
the same Tremere domitor, if he remembered their little talk
correctly. That’s some kind of patience.
“Yes.”
“May I present to you Prince Annabelle. Madame,” said the ghoul while
moving out of the way.
Prince Annabelle entered the room. Brunette, with long hair, wearing
fashionable glasses and a perfectly fit suit, she seemed more like a
scholar than a sorceress.
“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Pierterzoon.”
“Je suis enchanté,” he replied with a strong Germanic accent.
“Yes. Your file mentioned the fact that you speak fluent French, if I
remember correctly,” she retorted with a smile.
“My file?”
“You must be kidding me,” she replied. “You must know that we
maintain files on…well…everything!” She chuckled. “Let’s forget about
Tremere procedures for a while and tell me about the reason you are
here. Please, tell me. What is the disaster that brings you here?”
Could she already know? He thought. Had she just read his mind?
“The Camarilla requires your help in a most important matter. We have
a problem in Montreal.”
Again, she laughed. “We always have a problem in Montreal. We all do
here. But to what are you referring?”
“A powerful Kindred is hiding in Montreal, with a piece of metal
that’s causing us a lot of trouble. That vampire must be destroyed, as
well as the object.” After a pause, he continued. “It’s a female
Toreador. She is on our new top ten. Helena is her name.”
Prince Annabelle was now dead serious. “And the object is?”
“A piece of scrap.”
“You came all the way here in Quebec City to ask for my help, but you
figured that you could hide sensitive information from me. I’m
disappointed. What is the object?”
“If the rumor is true,” Jan began, “it’s an engraved disk with
ancient writing about the end of the world.”
“Gehenna?”
“Yes. If the rumor is true.”
She waited for him to continue.
“That disk might be related to the incidents of this summer. It’s
been used as a recruiting tool for our enemies. That’s why it must be
destroyed,” he said, with great emphasis on the last four words.
So, the disk is more important than the Toreador, she thought.
He continued, “Soon, many of our agents will go to Montreal to
destroy both vampire and disk. You are expected to participate.”
“But we will. We are, after all, the Camarilla’s humble servants.
After Clan Ventrue, of course,” she answered back with a grin.
After a moment, she asked, “Do you require any sustenance? It’s
pretty easy to hunt all around the castle, this time of the year. Or
perhaps you have more specific needs. If so, Monsieur De Blainville
will help you. Ask him for anything, your heart’s desire.”
“Perhaps.” With a bow Jan took his leave.
Minutes later, in his chamber, Jan Pierterzoon was satisfied. He saw
it in her eyes. She was intrigued. She would participate. Sunrise was
near. He put himself to bed. Tomorrow, he would be in Boston. His
first task would be to find someone in charge. His second task would
be to persuade them to help, at a reasonable price.
****************
Helena entered the abandoned old tenement building impatiently. She
followed the stench she had been tracking for several city blocks as
it trailed down a rotting, crumbing staircase. She did not hesitate as
she crossed the threshold, though she knew what was waiting for her
below.
Scattered candles illuminated the large, barren basement. The cellar
floor had been torn away, the foundation ripped up in rough circle to
reveal the dirt beneath. The ground was stained, soaked in blood,
excrement and bile. For most of her very long span, Helena, queen of
queens, would have been repulsed by such a foul location. Of late, her
unlife had traveled down much less savory paths. She showed no
reaction as she stepped into the circle, her red leather boots sinking
into the muck with a soft sucking noise.
He moved from the shadows at the edge of the circle and Helena looked
him over as he approached. The fine suit, swept-back silver hair, and
regal face, lined with age, must have once belonged to someone who
considered himself important, respected, secure. This poise was belied
by the alien yellow eyes betraying the presence of the demon
inhabiting the decaying mortal husk.
“Helena. My humble home has never been graced by someone so
magnificent, nor one so welcome. Even the legends of your beauty do
not do justice to the reality of it. This is truly an honor.” His
voice was somehow both hoarse and unctuous.
“Metathiax....”
The demon raised a clawed nail to her lips, one eye closing in a
lazy, grotesque wink. “Shhhh. Whenever that name is uttered, there’s a
little Inquisitor who pricks up her ears.”
As his finger withdrew, Helena was rocked by a vision. She saw a pile
of writhing bodies, animal and human, Kindred and kine. Atop the mound
stood the Decani demon, working through the pile of flesh with a
multitude of insect arms, its face inhuman and monstrous. The screams
lingered in Helena’s ears even after the vision faded. She was shocked
to her core by the brief glimpse of what lay behind the thing’s
genteel facade, and paused for a moment to regain her composure.
“The Fragment. I want it. You are going to bring it to me.” Helena
fixed the full weight of her gaze upon the demon, a gaze that had bent
and broken Kindred and kine alike for the last several millennia.
Metathiax’s reaction was to blink once and run his tongue across his
lips contemplatively.
The demon circled her slowly, whispering into her right ear, then her
left. “Ah, yes. The Kaymakli Fragment. They know you're here and now
they know what you want. They've hidden it, haven't they? Hidden it
from you. But not from me. Nothing in this city is hidden from me. Of
course, I will get it for you... for a price...”
“A price? Haven't I already paid my price?”
The demon smiled. “You have paid a price. You have offered a prize –
a most wondrous prize. But not to me. What have you given me? Nothing.
Yet. But fortune has smiled upon us both. After I perform this service
for you, there is something you can do for me. There is a trifle for
which you are uniquely qualified, a task that will have
inconsequential cost to you, but will be of immense value to me. There
is a curse, a spell, ancient bonds that trap me, hold me to this spot.
You can break them.
“I will get you the Fragment. You will see it with your eyes, hold it
in your hands. From it, you will learn the truth, the truth about the
father of your kind, and the Dark Mother as well. With it, you will
teach this truth to others and draw them to your cause. And then,
Helena, you will set me free.”
**************************************
Rules
***********************************
Black Miracles and Lies is a constructed Storyline Tournament.
Except as noted in these instructions, the tournament will follow the
Standard Constructed Tournament format and current V:EKN rules.
• There are no special deck or crypt restrictions for this event other
than the normal Standard Constructed Tournament rules.
• Each player will receive one Kaymakli Fragment promo-only card. This
card is legal for this storyline event and players may include it in
their decks.
Kaymakli Fragment
Unique equipment.
This Sabbat vampire may allow you to draw 5 cards from your library as
an action (discard afterward). This infernal minion may move 3 blood
from the bank to a vampire in your uncontrolled region as a +1 stealth
action. Any minion may steal this equipment as a strike.
• Each game will begin with a copy of Kaymakli Fragment, uncontrolled,
in the middle of the table. While it is uncontrolled, any minion may
equip this card as an undirected action. If the center copy of
Kaymakli Fragment is burned, remove it from the game.
• A Camarilla vampire with the Kaymakli Fragment may burn it to gain 3
pool as an action.
• Each game begins with central, shared crypt of 6 vampires. These
vampires are custom-designed for this event, not legal for play
outside this event, and may be controlled by any Methuselah. These
vampires do not have group numbers and can be played with vampires
from any groups. While they are uncontrolled, any Methuselah may look
at these vampires at any time.
• There are a number of vampires that are easily swayed to take part
in the events of “Black Miracles and Lies.” At the end of your

2 mechanical questions about this card:
1) Can Midget use both abilities in the same turn (assuming he untaps
after the first action somehow, of course)?
2) Can Beast "steal" this equipment as a strike?
If yes, would the equipment just burn?

I think the question is less card text than NRA. Which would mean no?
LSJ
OK: rules text, if you like. Rules text: "A minion cannot perform an action with
the same action card or via the same card in play (including from the minion's
own card text) more than once each turn, even if he untaps."
Jozxyqk
> > 2) Can Beast "steal" this equipment as a strike?
> > If yes, would the equipment just burn?
> [No, with google-group links]
OK.. so "any minion" means "any minion who can have equipment". I
thought it might have been more specialized than the active case of
playing Fast Hands.
Another question:
"Steal Equipment. This effect is like destroy equipment, except that
instead of being burned, the equipment card is moved to the striking
minion. *The equipment may not be used by the stealing minion during
the current round of combat.* The equipment is retained by the
stealing minion after combat ends. "
For the purposes of "Strike: Steal Fragment", who is considered to be
"using" the equipment? Or can it not be used more than once per round
at all?
For example, is this legal:
Skryta has the Kaymakli Fragment. She is in combat with Scarlet.
Skryta strikes Hands, and Scarlet strikes "Steal Fragment".
Both play Blur.
Skryta's first additional strike is "Steal Fragment" and Scarlet's
first additional strike is hands.
If the above is legal, then is this legal:
Skryta's second additional strike is hands, and Scarlet's second
additional strike is "Steal Fragment".
(Scarlet "using" the equipment a second time this round, by one
interpretation)
Thanks.
Jozxyqk
Even if they are different actions from the same card in play? OK.

Sure. The restriction applies only while the stealer has the equipment.

Hmmm - maybe I'm missing something about this but I'm not seeing anything
about princes rerunning the same event locally, like making provisions for
procuring support materials, promo cards, and so forth.
Is this supposed to be a one-of-a-kind event, run only at the NAC? If
so, are there tournament-legal promo cards being given out there and
nowhere else or how would such cards be distributed elsewhere in the
world? If not, will their be instructions about how to run an event
locally forthcoming.
Or did I just totally miss a meeting here? Someone throw me a clue,
please!

I think the Kalmahki Fragment is a special promo just for that event
(the rest of the wacky vampire cards are, I'm pretty sure, not going to
actually exist). That, presumably, will end up in circulation like other
promos in not too long a time.
Still need any Victor Pelltiers?

The Shared Crypt cards are all unofficial and event only. They are not
officially playable outside this event.
Kaymakli Fragment is an actual promo card that will be distributed to
players at this event.
It is also slated for general distribution as a promo card and will be
distributed as such -- possibly in in the winter storyline kit.

We will be posting the images for the custom cards on the storyline
web site. So, if someone wanted to run the event locally, they could
print out the cards and run the event "unofficially".

Am I correct in assuming that 23 Oct 2008 is the official release date
for this promo, and therfore, it becomes tournament legal on 22 Nov
2008?

vtes...@white-wolf.com
That is correct. Kaymakli Fragment is tournament legal on Nov. 22.
