Locations:

1. Farmstead. A mortal couple lived quietly at a mundane farmhouse and cornfield in rural Prince William County until the Giovanni Expedition arrived in late 1994 and wiped them out. The Irad had landed at the farmstead some time before the expedition had arrived, but remained Obfuscated beyond the ability of the mortals living there to even notice. Two other Gateways of Gehenna and the Prophet of Gehenna were drawn to the Temple where the Gateway of Death led the Giovanni Expedition. This coterie, several on the run from various factions of Kindred, made the Temple grounds their base of operations, taking in an ever-growing army of Kindred and other supernatural creatures. By January 8, 1995, the Temple grounds at the farmstead had already been attacked by the Cult of Hirut. The attackers were unsuccessful, but the Giovanni Expedition took many casualties. The surviving Giovanni burned down the remains of the farmstead. The Temple had been piloted into the Plane of the Dead and back. On January 8, 1995, the first night of the Sisterhood Gather, the farmstead was deeply cloaked by the Sisterhood’s spiritual flame. The flame was tended to inside of an earthen hutch built by the thinbloods and expanded by the Sisters. The farmhouse and barn were but cinders. The Temple remained in obfuscation in the center of the field. A mobile command center comprised of three giant trailers is parked on the property with several armored vehicles. A small country dirt road leads to the farmhouse and has been marked as closed.

2. Relocated OTCAL. Joan, Nikoli and the rest of the OTCAL cult moved their operations to the quaint town of Clifton, Va. Hirut attacked the new OTCAL, but Joan distracted her. Joan hid in below an underpass for a time as Hirut hunted her. Joan then made her way to the train bridge across Bull Run (10) and crossed the Tremere Wall of psychic energy with the help of a demon’s hand and the interference of a rogue Mekhetim, Marcus.

3. Ryon’s Dam. On January 4, 1995, Rose flew to meet her ex-girlfriend at a place far enough away from her coterie that she thought safe. In her scouting about to find nodes in the intersections of ley lines, Rose came upon an old dam. The gatehouse of the dam was boarded up and seemed abandoned, but Rose could sense a node there. She stood by the water’s edge for some time and then took out a small abandoned canoe to wait. Jinx indeed came and the two had a reunion of sorts, though their issues could not be overcome.
