From: _THE PRISONER_ <ymg@ukc.ac.uk>
Subject: Mages vs Vampires!
This is an idea of a magi vs vampire senario; it is taken from
a book by G. Masterton, but i can't remember the name of the book (the french
title was "le portrait du mal", if it helps).
====================IF YOU ARE A PLAYER : STOP READING HERE===================
The Gray familly are coming from europe to (insert your city).
they are looking for a painting...and of course the prince have it (for he
likes it a lot). She(he) got it from one of the players(who has it from his
father and loved it a lot when she(he) had it!). The prince could have asked
it, as a gift of fidelity to her(him); or anything else. This has happened
sometime in the past.
The Gray have the power to travel from one painting
to the other and get out where the painting is in the present time.
(eg: D. travels into a Picaso in NY, hence in the time shown on the painting.
He sees an other painting( in the painted-world) and goes in it, then goes
out in the present time: In the musee du Louvre in Paris because it is there
that the seconde painting is!... hope it is clear???).
They do not die (but the painting has they true age, ever heard of Dorian Gray?)
but since they all should be dead by now (they are 150 years old!!) they need
to cover their corps(which are slowly rotting) with skin, taken from a living
person. To get their body into a better shape they need to travel into their
painting and stay there for X time. Only Dorian knows the rituel to add/delet
someone from the painting, but they all know how to travel.
You can kill the Grays with any weapon/claws/etc.. or by burning the painting
which will destroy their souls.
There could be 3 generation of Grays, and they are not all evil
(but Dorian will be a very nasty guy). Of course one of them will be a very
good looking girl(see after).
Now one of the Grays is phoning the old owner(player)to get
the painting back. And there are strange murders in town...(remember the skin?)
The players could find a skinless corps and investigate, or a nosferatu could
find it near his heaven and ask the players to solve the mistery( he doesn't
want the cops near his resting place!). Or maybe one of the player will
fall in love with a Gray, and try to find out more about her(him). The player
will then learn the nature of the painting, from the diary of the granddad
of the player who owned the painting. This grandfather discover the Gray power
and took the painting from them. The Grays didn't fear that he will burn the
painting for he and a Gray had a child: the player's father!!!(this is NOT in
the diary, but all the Grays know it.). If the grandfather destroy the painting
he will kill the mother of his own son. Their plan was to claim the painting
some time later, when things would come down: but they didn't know of the
diary, so they think that the story is a legend among the player's familly
(remember granddad? this old fool!!!....).
Will the vampires help the Grays to get the painting from the
prince? or will they try to kill all the Grays (remember that Dorian can take
a hostage in their painting... a little child, the young sister of a vampire!)
They might even try to go into the painting and hunt for the Grays as they
flee from world to worlds. Or will the rituel only work on the brother
(see above.). And won't they be surprise when they will learn that the one who
owned the painting is the grandson of one of the gray? Why do you think the
Grays didn't came before for their painting!! They new that the grandfather
will never destroy it. Of course if the player destroy the painting they will
kill the grandmother of one of them!
BUT what will the prince think of all that! Will the
players go to him for help? and what if they have robed him(her)? Won't she(he)
be very angry? Can the player tell her(him) what happened? And then what will
happend? the prince will want her(his) painting back and she(he) might want to
know the rituel. She(He) might even want the destruction of the painting, for
a reason X (she(he) might hate mages). And what if the Gray learned of the
true nature of the players?
A good way to put his senario into play is to insert it in
one of your own senario, this will confuse your players a lot and can be
of great fun for the ST.
If you have any changes, feel free to post them to me.
Yann.
