Hmmmm....well this is a predicament that I've gotten into here...Lets see what I can do with this...
Ok, first a little clarification. It seems from Brian's post that some of you might think you are taken to the stocks every night. That is not the case. You do not leave the stocks. All the charaters sleep there, I assure you the room is lightproofed so the sun doesn't kill you, and you wake up there every evening. The stocks are not cleaned and neaither are you. It's all very brutal and rather inhumane.
Now, as for the rape of Samara. I have once again changed my mind, but it's all for plot device, so I hope Eve doesn't leave. Let me explain and...well just pay attention. First off the rape is perpetrated by a Malkavian, during your time in the stocks, you see seems to hang around quite often with the 7 foot tall Primogen member, presumably the Malkavian primogen. He seems to take a keen interest in Samara a little more than makes any of you who notice comfortable. Then one day, just a short while before sun set, when everyone has left to go to their respective coffins, he returns from wherever it was he went. He entered the room and went striaght for Samara, taking his pleasure and his time with her, while there was nothing any of you could do. After he had finished he left and soon Samara went to sleep, probobly hopeing never to wake up again. You awake and endure 3 more days of uneventful beatings. On the fourth evening you not to the feel of a golf club against your head but to silence. All the vampires in attendance are silent staring at the five of you sitting helplessly in your stocks. The attention shifts from you to the prince who begins to speak.
"Bring him forward" says the prince in a quiet voice. His two personal bodyguards bring forward the vampire who rapped Samara. They are holding his arms, but there is nothing else restraining him and no weapons pointed at his sneering face. He seems very calm and compsed. He glances at Samara then to Roger (The malkavian Primogen) who smiles back at him and nods. The prince begins to speak.
"These five" He motions to the PC's "Were branded traitors and placed in the stocks as their punishment. They have been put through countless beatings as part of their punishment. This is what I have ordered for those who were going to usurp my city and hand it over to that unholy entity that we know only through rumors as "The Librarian." I know this because they admitted as much to me. That is why they have not been put to Final Death. I have ordered them punished with beating and humiliation by my servants. But someone here has gone against my orders." He looks directly at the vampire that his bodyguards are restraining. "You have raped the one called Samara, an explicit violation of the order I gave that none of them be touched without my permission. You had not my permission, and so you will be punished." The prisoner smiles, as if he expects a slap on the wrist. "You shall be spared final death becuase you are of my clan, but you are hearby stripped of all welth. You monetary assets shall be signed over to me and I shall distribute them to those more deserving. All of your ghouls have been slain, or are being slain as we speak." He smiles at this as everyone present knows he has no ghouls and little money. The Prince turns and begins to walk away. But those of you in the stocks notice him blink several times in rapid succession. The other Malkavian begins to leave. "Stop!" Orders the Prince, and his guards grab the offender, holding him fast. The Prince spins and the stake that seemingly came out of nowhere is buried deep into the chest of the rapist. His eyes widen in terror and his mouth opens to scream but he doesn't have time before the tip of the wooden shaft pierces his heart. He falls to the floor in torpor. "But you're not part of my clan, you piece of scum." The Prince says. He walks over to Liz-Ann and she hands him her tie, a knowing smile on her face. He walks to his impaled victim, and after a glance at Roger, who seems as if he is going to explode any instant, the Prince swings the tie with amazing speed and accuracy and severes the head of the younger Malkavian, that horrible shocked look frozen on his face. The Prince walks over to the stocks and places the head in front of Samara. "He was a monster." The Prince walks away from the stage on which the stocks have been placed and speaks one last time to all gathered. "There will be no more punishment tonight." He walks out of the room, leaving many vampires confused and more than a few quite horrified. The head of the rapist sitse on the stage for long minutes, staing at the five of you, but facing mostly at Samara, until someone bumps the stage, causing it to tip over and fall to the floor, where you lose sight of it...

I hope that satisfies everyone, and leaves people with lots to go on for roleplaying. This is the final change to that night unless I have everyone playing (That menas ever single player) wanting it to happen differently. That should still give Jenny time to nurture her rage about what happened, and hopefully allow you to continue on the path you were about to put Jenny on. And onto the descriptions of the Primogen, and the prince.

The Prince Steven Bellows
He's a young man, probobly in his mid 20's when embraced, and isn't too bad looking, though he's not exactly distince in any way. He tends to wear business suits and has a very calm businesslike manner. He speaks quietly most of the times, and seldom shows emotions other than unadulterated rage. You hear he's Malkavian, but something seems a bit off about him...

Tremere Primogen, Liz-Ann
She is also very businesslike in her dress and manner. She doesn't smile and always wears a skirt and blouse, along with her tie, which glows green for some reason. She is usually cartrying a book around with her and tends to stay near the Prince or in her own Haven's laboratory. You can tell the prince and she have some sort of sexual relationship going on, but they don't seem to be a loving couple.

Malkavina Primogen, Liam
An unusally tall man. He tops out somehwere in the vacinity of seven feet and always wears light colors, but nothing girly. He's a tough guy, and a big tough guy at that. His left arm hangs limp as his side and he gives off an air of supreme confidance. The Prince hates him, and he hates the Prince, it's a working relationship that isn't going to change any time soon.

Nosferatu Primogen, Darius
He's ugly. The flesh on the left side of his jaw is almost completely missing and his left arm is rather unusal. It splits at the elbow and the tibia and fibula have become sort of like a hand. At the end of each bone are small stubs that work like fingers and they work well, considering his grand skill as a piano player. He dresses mostly in blacks and tends to listen more than he talks.

Brujah Primogen, Roger
A squirrly little nerd. He is most often found in his study, reading old books and thinking about gos knows what. He avoids confrontations as much as possible and doesn't show up often to perform his duties as a member of the primogen. He always seems nervous, and speaks quietly. He's a strange one.

Toreador Primogen, Carolyn
She's a valley girl. Bleach blond hair, too much make up, and alwyas wearing the latest styl in California. She's as annoying as she is stupid and she isn't bright. You don't really know why she is primogen, ass she doesn't seem like a good decision maker, but apparently her clan wants her there...


Ventrue Primogen, Milton
He dresses in cheap business suits that seem to remind you of a used car salesman. He's not very tall and not very likeable. He has no real distinguishing makes about him and he certainly isn't the nicest of guys. He seems a little more interestied any money than the well being of the prince or the city.



Ok, that's it. I hope this works for everyone. See you wednesday for Dragon blooded.
