However, the asylum isn't what it seems, and the two run into a problem other than ghosts. The meeting also seems dead-set on trying to prevent the power players from making their moves. The fate of Chicago rests on the coetrie's heads, which seem to be rapidly less assured to stay on their necks... CONTENT WARNING: We are playing Vampire: The Masquerade.
