Vampire the Masquerade 5e: Sympathy For the Devil Session 3 - Doom and Gloom

With a lead, the coetrie decides to split up to cover some ground. Johnathan goes to talk to Yvonne Long, the Brujah Primogen, in order to set up a meeting with Chicago's mayor. Meanwhile, Salem goes to talk to a group of Anarchs to close some possible leads and get a bit of blood that they need. Finally, Cor breaks into a house and very deftly finds some copies of evidence that they need. Afterwards they talk to Rahm Emmanuel, and learn something that is going to shake the very foundations of Chicago's vampire power structure to its core.
