April 4/13

Something occurs among the agents of the Black Hand which is internal to them and occupies much of their time for the evening.
Those with prophetic powers receive a vision during the time of the eclipse, which coincides with the earthquake that happened simultaneously.
The pyramid in Rockville, CT was investigated in an attempt to locate old Harpy records from Hartford’s time as a Camarillan city.
Amari Zantosa revealed that a long-dormant Elder of his clan, Catalina Dascalu, had awoken, and that her ancient library might hold information the players sought regarding the recent infernal activity.
A group of PCs investigated the abandoned Chantry that Nemesis had been located in, and they found documents noting the names of former Chantry members. Their plan is to narrow down which might be alive, and track them down to determine whether any of them are the individuals who laid the cursed necklace upon their Gargoyle compatriot.
Catalina Dascalu’s manor was assaulted by Black Spiral Dancers, and the players mobilized to fend them off. They arrived on the scene and split into groups to help defend the elder and prevent her library from being burned to the ground. In the end, Catalina was defended, but her manor was in severe disrepair. The library was in tatters, and PCs reported a group of demons scouring the library for a particular book during the mayhem. These demons reportedly departed with the book they located, but while it may take some time, Catalina has implied that she can recoup some information about it once her library is back in order.

April Game

April 9th, 2024

Get pumped about this month's session of Dark Colony: New Haven!

Our next game is this upcoming Saturday, 4/13.

With the definitive, yet temporary defeat of the Infernalist lurking in the Diocese, it would seem that New Haven has earned itself a bit of a respite and can take the time they need to collect themselves. But, enemies are not the only things clamoring at the gates, and old one-time allies of the city have begun to resurface in pursuit of unknown goals. Join us this weekend to find out what those might be.

Once again, game will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Southington (66 Main St, Southington, CT 06489). Doors open at 7pm, and Game-on is at 8pm.

March Recap

March 15th, 2024

March 3/9

Trent Jackson arrived at the Festivo esbat to perform a Ghost Dance for his fallen packmate Lorenz Ortega. All of Trent’s remaining packmates were present, including the often absent Ductus named Snaptooth, except for a single member who was conspicuously missing. After the ritae, the pack left to track down their wayward packmate.
Jade and Nara-kai performed further investigations of the Ring and Pentagram structures beneath the region, and learned that the ring is drawing in positive energy to feed the Pentagram, which is leading to the imbalance of negative energy in the region that is causing things like spontaneous zombification, the death of plant life, and a rise in necromantic energies.
A group of Cainites tracked down the location of the dagger, which led them to a residential home in East Granby. They arrived at the same time as a black ops team, and they watched as the team breached the home in search of an individual they were sent to kill. The Sabbat recovered the dagger and some background information from the home, while the head of the Black Ops team confronted them about what they were doing there. The man revealed his identity to be Cesare Madison, an associate of Lorenz Ortega’s, in search of vengeance for the death of his murdered friend. After the Sabbat turned the home and the mercenaries into an impromptu Haunted House game of instinct, Cesare established a tentative working relationship with the Sabbat and offered the current location of the Infernalist on the condition that he was allowed to participate.
A group of Cainites tracked down the remnants of the Elm Haven Dynasty pack, who were looking for their missing packmate. During the search, the group was beset by demonic imps and they discovered that the missing packmate had been abducted by the infernalist, presumably to be used as another sacrifice. The group and the remainder of the Elm Haven Dynasty pack followed the trail of their missing packmate.
The two groups of Cainites merged at the site of the Infernalist’s latest ritual, a third floor corner apartment. They pincered the location from the apartment door and the living room’s windows simultaneously, and discovered the infernalist having seemingly just completed the ritual. In the brief time they had, most of the Sabbat launched a barrage of successful attacks on the infernalist while some attempted to rescue the torpid form of the Elm Haven Dynasty’s missing member. Ultimately, after being rendered almost completely helpless, the Infernalist was seemingly rescued by his demonic patron, though it is unclear what consequences to the Infernalist might result from such a necessary evacuation.
In the aftermath of the rescue attempt and the assault on the Infernalist, Elm Haven Dynasty, along with any Sabbat who wish to, rushes to their fallen packmate to assess the extent of their injuries. They discover that, while the body is not decomposing or turning to ash (which would symbolize the death of the Cainite), their packmate is not able to be awakened by their various attempts to rouse him from Torpor. A scan with Aura Perception reveals no discernible aura. Those with the ability to sense such things can identify that whatever ritual the infernalist was attempting to perform here was completed, probably moments before their arrival. Cesare Madison, frustrated by his inability to contribute meaningfully to the conflict, recuses himself from the situation after making calls to ensure that there will be no undue trouble with mortal authorities as the result of the rather destructive engagement in the apartment.

February Recap

March 15th, 2024

February 2/10

Trent Jackson approached Croc about Trent’s dead packmate, Lorenz Ortega, and about the occult connection to his murder. Croc relayed this information to the esbat, and several of them went to investigate. They discovered the ashes of Lorenz’s body amidst a smattering of unpoliced dark thaumaturgical accouterments, and they were able to get a supernatural glimpse at a hooded figure robed in black with a smoky face. They also learned that whatever this ritual was, it was only a small piece of it.
A team investigated the strange tunnels beneath the region. Through trial and error, they discovered that the tunnels formed a ring and a pentagram, each of which were unconnected. The ring was filled with Tass, while the pentagram was filled with a bloody, shadowy substance which Jade was able to identify as an enormous Oubliette.
A group investigating reports of a school bus full of children discovered that Antichris was attempting to repopulate his pack. A defunct daycare center was set aflame and the children were killed.
After regrouping at Esbat, the empty warehouse on an island in the Quinnipiac River was attacked by a horde of animated zombies. After a cursory investigation, the Sabbat learned that the bodies had been animated from various cemeteries across the city, and that they had no memory of who or why they were summoned. When the bodies were interrogated about why they attacked the sabbat, they only knew that they felt drawn to the Sabbat as if possessed of some great anger.
After dealing with the zombie attack, a group began furiously searching for the hooded figure from the reports of Lorenz’s murder. While unable to hone in on his exact location, they were able to narrow down the scope of their search to East Granby, north of Hartford. A Koldun was able to mystically spy on the ritual knife used in the Dark Thaumaturgy ritual that killed Lorenz, and they have narrowed down its location to a building in East Granby.

December 2023 - The Binding

December 7th, 2023

Hello All!

This coming weekend will see us play the final game of the year. It's the Winter Solstice and The Binding will be ran by a member of the High Clergy. it's time for reflection and affirmation of your faith in your fellow Sabbat. And maybe even a little hunting. We look forward to seeing you all there.

There are a few notes for what this game means for the New Haven Chronicle as well.

1. This will be my last game ran as HST of the Chronicle. I will be joining you the players as I get a chance to RP once again.

2. Dan Murphy will also be joining me as a Player starting next year as well. I want to thank him for all the help he has given me over the past years running plot next to my side. Welcome back to the pack Dan.

3. Marc Lake will be taking over at the New Year. He plans on having a discussion with you all about what his goals are in the coming months so stay tuned for that.

See you soon!
David, Dan and Bruce

Evan Hughes has joined the chronicle!

Palle Grande - October 2023 Game

October 11th, 2023

Welcome all Cainites! If you are not a Cainite then tonight might not be the night you want to visit for a chat. It is Palle Grande and we have a lot of fun in store for you. There is going to be a lot here to talk about so I will try to be brief in each thing.

1. We are looking for people to host a game of instinct. If you have an idea that you want to run please let us know before Saturday.

2. There are XP changes that we will be implementing as a Game. follow this link for the announcement that Kat gave for Boston. We will be following the same with some limits. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1336081636453064/permalink/6867654436629062)

How we will want this to work for us will be as follows.
- Send us an email at darkcolonynh@googlegroups.com of your Backgrounds and the XP you have spent on them.
- Once we have agreed to the new xp expenditures we will have you add two posts to your xp log to record the xp refunded and then respent. We expect it all to be spent at the same time in full that way there is easier record keeping.
- We will also let you know which backgrounds will be effected at this time as well since they will be a living entity that can grow and shrink based upon your actions or inactions as a PC. This means that if you do not do downtime declarations during the month then you might lose these as you are not meeting their upkeep. But you could just as easily gain some as well.

3. This will be the second to last game for the year as we will not have a game in November due to the NEE. I encourage you all to join us at it and enjoy some Camarilla/Anarch Fun.

September to Remember - September 2023 Game

September 5th, 2023

Welcome to our September 2023 game all!

The Sabbat will be gathering in the Diocese of New Haven as festivities have wound down after the month before. However there seems to be some issue with feeding once again as getting blood has been scarce around the area. Maybe an over indulgence after all the partying? Maybe the populace is sick? Not ideal circumstances as we head into the high holiday season.

Location is the Friendship Lodge #33 in Southington CT.

See you all there! Staff
