A summary of the December gathering of Newcastle's Kindred.

The kindred turned up to take part in a Christmas party thrown by one of the Primogen, Vincent Black. The party took the form of a murder mystery party that was also attended by the Prince of Sunderland (NPC) and his sheriff (NPC). The party went well and the politics carried on as normal as the game went on. The Prince of Sunderland’s character was assassinated and the game kicked off proper and everyone seemed to be having a good time. There was a slight disturbance when people through the Dragon was about to make an appearance, but true to his word Prince Wodenson seemed to intercept it and the party continued undisturbed.

Near the end of the night it seemed there was something amiss with the whole event, a mysterious guest showed up to have a quiet chat with a few of the kindred and shortly after three bodies were found in a side room. Prince Thorneby and his sheriff had both been decapitated and Mr. Black’s butler had been killed by having a cane rammed through his chest. It then came to light that the visitor had been Arcus Masterton a local celebrity psychologist who seemed to have masterminded the whole event through manipulating Mr. Black.

The kindred left the party knowing something big has just happened, but had no idea of what.
