Chronicles of the Blood Moon

Season 1, Episode 2
 In the Chronicles of the Moon of Blood players take on the responsibility of the Archons of the Camarilla
or the Templars of the Sabbat. To this end, if characters are created for the occasion, they should be reinforced
to simulate elite agents of the sect they are playing. To do so, you can give the following: 2 Attribute Dots, 5
Abilities Dots, 2 Discipline Dots, 3 Background Dots and 3 Bonus Dots as suggested in the V3 Supplement:
Archons and Templars.

Although the goal of this supplement is to allow player’s access to Archons or Templars, it is possible, with a
little effort, to use these scenarios with other groups of vampires with proper scaling.

The Rules used are from V20 and all references are to the pages of both the French and English version. The
Chronicles of the Moon of Blood presents Gehenna in filigree, but without precise elements, allowing play in
different eras and open to versatile styles.

The scenarios proposed in the Chronicles of the Blood Moon follow a particular format with a Scene per page
with the same presentation. Namely: a title with a summary of the scene, a box for the scene or main object of
the scene, a column with possible encounters, the main information about the scene and finally the outlets.
Thus the Storyteller has all the key information of a scene on a single page. However, this format requires
conciseness and is limited to important information. The scenarios are not totally detailed and will require a
minimum of appropriation !

 Introduction
Summary
The PC’s have just been sent to New York. The city
has been in the hands of the Camarilla since 1999, but
Sabbat and Camarilla still clash around the city regularly.
The Archons were sent to help the Prince of New York,
the Nosferatu Calebros. The Templars are there to work
for Cardinal Polonia, the former Archbishop of the city,
who desires more than anything else to take it back to
the Camarilla.
They are entrusted with a mission by a ghoul linked to
the Justicar/Cardinal who sends them to Hollow Town,
a small town in the depths of the Appalachians just on
the Vermont side of the New York/Vermont boarder near
the Summit Lodge Ski resort. This mission is in fact a
trap for them to be taken prisoner by the inhabitants of
the town. Indeed, the residents of this town are almost
all ghouls that are not thralled to any vampire! They
capture vampires, empty them several times of their blood
and after a certain time, eliminate them ... Thus, all the
inhabitants live eternally and are not bound by the blood.
This community of independent ghouls has existed for
several centuries and recently, the community has become,
by necessity, more enterprising. The citizens need more
vampires and has started an organized hunt. Although
methodical, they take risks by attacking more vampires
and by not knowing all the Disciplines of vampires are
at a disadvantage. The PC’s will be taken prisoner, and
will have to escape.
4 INTRODUCTION
Involvement of the PC’s
Archons et Templars: The PC’s are contacted at 10
pm by John Thomas, a ghoul of the Cardinal or the
Prince who wishes to entrust them with an urgent
mission. A vampire, Karl Lerner, must be captured or
eliminated: he betrayed the Sabbat / Camarilla. He is
on the run with important information about the sect.
The last contact with him was last night in Pittsburgh
by a ghoul, Peter Lucas, from Hollow. Given the time
of night he was seen, the direction he was headed and
the condition he was in, Lerner likely went to ground
in Hollow Town. Peter confirms that he is injured and
probably hungry, so he will probably stay one or two
nights to get on his feet. Lerner also gives a picture of
the target to the PC’s.
They must act quickly: a plane takes off in two hours,
for a two hour all-inclusive flight, a car is rented for
them in Pittsburgh for another two hours of driving to
Hollow Town. By the time they get there it will be about
4 am in the morning, this will leave them less than an
hour to find a safe refuge. They have an appointment
the next evening at 9 pm with Peter Lucas at the bar,
The Cauldron.
If the PC’s try to contact their Justicar/Cardinal/
superior, they will not be available and will be asked by
a lackey to call back tomorrow evening at the earliest.
Other options: PC’s are sent on mission by their prince
or other superior. Finally, they can be on the move and
pass through Hollow Town on accident.
Protagonists
John Thomas
John is the ghoul bringing the mission to the PC’s and
is actually an independent ghoul from Hollow Town.
He infiltrated the Cainites of the city, masquerading as
the ghoul of a dead vampire begging his share of blood
to survive and has since been working toward supplying
Hollow Town with what it requires.
The PC’s have seen him at least once at the Prince/
Cardinal’s property. As a result, they will have no reason
to doubt his statements.
He has a strong will and cleverly avoids looking anyone
directly in the eye. He focuses his thoughts on the mission
as he presented it to the PC’s making it very hard to
unmask his true intentions.
Be convincing and play on the urgency of the mission.
John will get straight to the point and will not leave any
time for the PC’s to really think about what is going on.
His Attributes and Abilities have respective values of
4 (for Attributes) and 5 (for Abilities).

 Scene 1
Arrival in town
The PC’s arrive in town shortly before dawn and have
just enough time to find refuge for the day.

Location : Hollow Town

Hollow Town claims 1036 inhabitants, but there are actually only 456, almost all of which are ghouls.
It is a modern town less than 50 years old. Built in the Appalachian forests, an ultra-modern large scale pig farm
represents its main economy and the smell permeates the town guaranteeing that no outsiders stay long. Lighting
and cameras are omnipresent; many are visible, but there are also a lot hidden with motion detectors hooked up
to cameras, lights and alarms, both audible and silent. The town is made up mostly of buildings of 2 or 3 floors
and has representation of what one would expect to see in a small town, a police station, a clinic, a motel, a bar, a
grocery store, etc.

Information
By the time the PC’s arrive everything is closed, only the motel at the entrance of town is open. They will be able
to make a quick tour of the town if they wish to locate the highlights like the location of the bar The Cauldron or
just get the lay of the land.
The PC’s are expected by the townspeople and increased surveillance has been activated.
- Inhabitants are at the windows, in the dark, to watch most of the streets of the town.
- Police patrols are more numerous in order to direct the PC’s to areas monitored by the hidden cameras.
- On the two closest hills, two surveillance houses are in place, with low-light telephoto lenses.

simple: a bed, a bedside table, a TV, a window and a small
bathroom with no window.
- In the trunk of a car or in the back of a pickup
truck: either in the vehicle leased in Pittsburgh or in
another vehicle. If the PC’s had thought about it, they
may have specified the type of vehicle leased and solved
their problem. Also, you will want to see where they will
park their vehicle for the day. There are no large parking
structures, though there are a few public lots. The only
indoor options would be private garages.
- In an uninhabited house: being that there are no
derelicts anywhere in town it will be difficult to find one
within the hour window they have. Nevertheless, given
the few inhabitants, there are many empty houses. A roll

allows one to find an abandoned house before sunrise.

 Scene 2
Attack during daylight
While the PC’s are in full sleep they are attacked by armed
ghouls !

Location : Motel or refuge chosen by the PCs

The town offers several possible refuges. The simplest, but not necessarily the best protected, is the motel. The
PC’s can ask not to be disturbed and block the entrance and obscure the windows. The bathroom does not have a
window making it an ideal refuge from the sun, but not so much for escape.

8 SCENE 2
Information
Ghouls will attack the PC’s in
broad daylight to capture them. If the
PC’s are not together, the attacks will
be coordinated to be simultaneous.
Since it is impossible to predict all
shelters, it will be necessary that the
Storyteller adapts to those chosen
by the PC’s.
If one of the PC’s has interned
themselves using Protean, they will
be propelled out of the ground when
a backhoe begins digging the ground
right above them. See the ground
rules for the Merging with Earth in
the French V20 core book on page
176, English 199-200.
As for waking up in broad daylight,
the rules are on page 270 of the
French V20 core book and page
263 of the English version. The
awakening is difficult (Perception +
Auspex, difficulty 8) and the time
of activity depends on successes on
a Humanity or Path, difficulty 8.
Keep in mind that die pools cannot be any larger than
the characters Humanity or Path rating.
Do not forget that sunlight is deadly for a vampire,
if the PC’s run away and find themselves exposed, they
will not survive long. Only Vampires with Fortitude can
resist running through the sun’s rays and try to absorb
them. The difficulty depends on the intensity of the sun
and the exposure. The ghouls attack around noon, but
the sun is slightly veiled. This equates to a difficulty of 9
if the vampire is not covered enough (head and / or arm
exposed) for 2 levels of damage per turn, difficulty of 7 if
the vampire is covered as much as possible (hat, big coat,
hood, blanket) for 1 health level per turn from exposure
to the sun.
O u t c om e s
- Once all the PC’s are neutralized, they are carried away by the ghouls. Go to Scene 3.

Whatever the PC’s try, they must not be able to escape.

Armed Ghouls
All the ghouls involved are highly
equipped, and look like police SWAT.
There are as many ghouls + 4 as PC’s
in a refuge (example: 2 PJs in a cellar
= 6 ghouls).
This group of ghouls represents the
first line of attack, but twice as many
ghouls wait outside the refuge, and
others are placed with sniper rifles on
the roofs or other tactically significant
locations. Finally, police patrols have
quarantined the town and are watching
all the ways out.
The Attributes and Abilities used

Attributes) and 4 (for Abilities). They
wear a Kevlar outfit that gives protection
of 3 and a penalty of -1 to the Dexterity-

if needed some have Celerity at 1.
One ghoul per PC approaches with a hammer and stake
in his hands while the others hold the vampires down using
whatever tactic is best for the situation. If they wake up,
they shoot at them for quick neutralization.
All ghouls have either a Heavy Machine Gun; (Damage
4L, Range 50, Rate 3, Clip 30+1), or an Assault Rifle;
(Damage 7L, Range 150, Rate 3, Clip 30+1) Statistics on

The PC’s are chained and regularly fed and emptied of

The room in which the PC’s are located is covered with pavement and rings are attached to the wall that allows the
vampires to be chained to it. Opaque heavy plastic curtains on metal rings and rails separate each vampire and there
are six other unknown vampires in the room with them. The door is heavily fortified and locked from the outside
with a large sliding metal bar.

have little need of a doctor since the blood allows them to heal themselves and remain eternally young there is still
an actual doctor on call for the rare occasion they are actually needed. The clinic deals with the drainage of vampires

 Scene 6
Outside the town
The PC’s have left the town but are not out of trouble
since they must cross dangerous mountains inhabited by
werewolves.

Location : the mountain forest

The surrounding mountains are not very high. These are the Appalachian foothills covered with hardwoods. Apart
from the town, there are very few inhabitants on these mountains aside from a small tribe of Lupines that reside and
hunt here. They usually appear as normal wolves and typically avoid Hollow Town, up to this point never getting
closer than eyesight.

Information
Following the road is far simpler for traversing the mountains much easier, but also more
difficult to avoid the ghoul patrols searching for the PC’s.
Hiking the mountains is better to slow pursuit, but also makes crossing them much
longer and more perilous. Getting to the next town by hiking could take days and that is
only if they know where they are going.
Here are some elements to liven up the tour of the mountains for the PC’s:
- The teams of ghouls will cross the mountains in groups of four on foot and utilize
ATV’s, off road vehicles and patrol the sparse network of roads frequently. If the PC’s are
not careful, or if you wish an unfortunate encounter to occur, it is a viable circumstance.
Again, each team is in radio contact with the others and it will take speed and efficiency to

PC’s hear wolf howls rolling through the mountains, see
traces of large and small claw marks on trees (marking
of territory), or they see a humanoid form or a pack of
wolves in the distance seemingly tracking them. These
various signs should push them to move faster and be
more attentive and cautious. The pack is there if you want

Once the next town is reached, the PC’s can use a faster
means of transport (car or possibly even a plane) and

monitor the night arrivals there and the PC’ss will suffer

arrives at Hollow Town with one goal; to destroy all ghouls.
He has several tens of vampires under his command that are
all at least as competent as the PC’s. He will nevertheless
be prudent and organized.
