Hunters and the solution therein

[Marius]

I am posting this from a stolen phone, the screen and letters are tiny, so I'll be brief.

The hunters are here in force.

Larissa> Your task in dealing with the hunters is to investigate the incident at Govan and Perkins. If there is any sign in the police report of supernatural activity, note it, but don't do anything about it. Someone outside the police department is going to want that information. Find out who gets it.

Demetria> The hunters know your face. The reporter thought your visit with her was worth mentioning to the hunters.

Theseus> Scour the neighborhood around the docks in West Sacramento before dawn. Ask Julian first. Hunters probably have it staked out. If you find them, put them to flight but don't risk your identity. They know less than we thought.

Elders> The hunters pose a clear and present danger to our city. I charge the elders with mustering their resources to accomplish three goals. Identify the hunters. Locate the hunters. Eliminate the hunters as a threat. There are at least four more out there. Serve your city and be rewarded. Fail and I will take from you the same which I grant to those that succeed.

This will be my last post for at least the next 72 hours.

I have taken it upon myself to send advance warning to Julian about the presence of hunters in the area. West Sacramento is the connecting point for Davis to Greater Sacramento via I80, and Julian has less than 10 of our kind to help defend his territory.

I will be arranging a patrol to help scour and defend my assigned realm of duty. Any persons willing to attend should speak with myself or Vincent. I will likely be entering Julian's domain as well.

[Theseus Ahroun]

I am currently traveling outside the domain, when I return I will seek an audience with Julian and offer my services in identifying how bad things are in West Sacramento. I will not take action in another Baron's domain without there express permission and further I will take no action that would only serve to stir up a hornets nest in anothers domain so don't expect much more then confirmation as to if they are in fact there.

I have an idea for how to deal with them. As they know less then we thought then they likely only know of a couple of us within the domain and don't fully understand how entrenched we may be in the city. The more we fight with there members and the more we exert our influence on them the more reason they will believe they have to remain in the area. So my plan is, like myself, relatively simple but will be two fold.

First we need to disappear as far as they are concerned. Influence use and traveling/hunting within the domain needs to be kept in check very tightly so they aren't clued into our presense and if possible suspect we may have moved on. Those who are known to them may need to go into a short hiding period so as to not give them anything to trace to the rest of us. Alternate methods of feeding instead of openly hunting kine in the city should be avoided as much as possible for the moment. In my somewhat limited experience most hunters unless they've set up a permanent base of operation in a city they don't stick around if they don't have anything to hunt.

Second step would be to give them something else to hunt. As it was a breach of the masquerade that brought them here perhaps after we have effectively disappeared from Sacramento a controled small scale breach in another city would potentially bait them into leaving for richer game to hunt.

What and were are you thinking? I like the idea.

[Guest]

I's like to go with you Demetria. Let me know what you would have me do.

[Raven]

Let me know where you need me Demetria.

[Demetria Von Hausen]

I am very appreciative of you offer. However, with your position as the North Warden, you should be setting up defenses of your own.

[Raven]

I was already planning on patrols as far as hunting goes in this case using myself as bait with a capture team in the wings.

[Theseus Ahroun]

I still would suggest other then attacking or trying to capture any of the hunters. If you choose to do otherwise that's your funeral.

As for the plan I outlined it's very dependent upon timing as we need to convince them there first was only a couple vampires in the city and when they came into the city it was easier for those vampires to pack up and leave. Any direct or indirect actions against them may lead them to believe we are still in fact in the city.

As for the breach itself it could be anything, perhaps even the winged guardian striking out against crime in another city. The where will be tricky as it will need to happen in a city with at least a small vampire population but preferably one that would be unable to kill the story before it got out. Also the breach could be seen as us making an attack on whatever group inhabits that city if it ever got traced back to us.

[Demetria Von Hausen]

I won't be attacking any hunters or suspected hunters. I merely want to observe, and see if there are any patterns to locations, as well as find suitable places to hunt.

[Raven]

Theseus where are you thinking? I will see what I can locate in my area and just observe until we have a set plan of action.

[Theseus Ahroun]

I've got a couple places in mind but think either the elder council as a whole or Marius should make the final decision as regardless of which city we set up we could be making enemies of whatever supernatural's are there. One of the local places with a reputation for high crime would be ideal if we are going to use a visit from "the Guardian" as the breach.
