Seth doesn't have anything against the cat, but he very much didn't want to be buried alive. I like the idea of npc'ing the cat, so maybe he'll pick up animalism at some point. It's not a clan discipline though, so it'd be tough.
Edit: Actually, I'm more and more liking the idea of making a feline friend. Is it possible to take a dot of a non-clan discipline using freebie points?
Edit2: Found the answer in the dark ages core book; I'm going to rearrange my sheet to try and get a point in Animalism.
Sheet has been updated.

So now that you've seen a little of most of them, does anyone have a particularly favorite NPC? I like to know which ones work for my players. Plus I'm a bit biased towards a few of them, so that might show up slightly in my posts. hopefully not too much though.

Well Isabella is somewhat partial to Clement and may consider ghouling him, his hypocritical nature strikes a cord with her and leading him to deeper and deeper corruption might be something she could enjoy.
Personally I don't really have a favourite, the characterisation has been good all around.

Aha! That should have occured to me sooner, but I guessed "bleeped profanity" first. Then my brain just obsesses over, "What was this mystery word? What?"
Fun fact: Vlad the Impaler is only twelve years old in the game world.
EDIT: Go, McStabbington! You show that elder who's the stealthiest!
I don't doubt he's stealthier than moi. But it's possible I can guile my way to a victory I cannot achieve by pure skill alone. Andrei might be deaf, but he's not a dummy by any means, and he's got an untapped talent for pure chicanery.
I feel like I'm sort of making Wenceslas seem a little stereotypically "laughing mad", but this is more or less how he's portrayed in the campaign. And yes, he gets even worse. Probably the most repulsive of all the guests.
I will admit though I'm having more fun with him then I expected.

I don't think the storm's going to be all that bad. This is mostly just CYA so nobody in authority looks like they got caught with their pants down. Although it was a bit amusing to walk to the grocery store this morning to get a few odds and ends only to see people buying multiple cases of bottled water. It's a storm, not Captain Tripps.
I had not even heard about a storm in America worth mentioning, it could make an incredible entertaining next couple of years if the storm is in full force at the start of next week say starting Monday the 5th and finishing on the 7th and people decide to stay home from work and other duties.
I could see US new-shows talking about it as an excuse for items that they didn't like for years to come.
In all likelihood, it isn't worth mentioning. But all the media in the United States is headquartered in Washington D.C. and New York City, so of course any big storm, or potentially big storm, is news because a) it's happening to them, and b) they don't have to go anywhere to cover it. In reality though, East Coasters are a bit . . . over-dramatic about storms like this. I grew up in the Mountain West, and when a storm dumped two or three feet of snow on us, we called it Tuesday.
That's an entirely different animal. The western US mountain territories routinely receive a lot of snow, so the residents, infrastructure and local governments are equipped to deal with it. It's the same reason three inches of snow in new york is no big deal, but three inches of snow in south carolina will paralyze the entire state.
In addition, western mountain states don't have to worry about a hundred year old subway system being flooded by sea water. I don't know what the short/long term effects of flooding new york city's subway system with saltwater will be, but it has the potential to be very bad.

This is what a street < 30 minutes from where I live looked like when Hurricane Irene hit.
Spoiler
So yeah. We take hurricanes very seriously.
I have been considering how/if I should respond to this and figured I probably should.
No offence was intended by the potentially flippant nature of my previous comment.
Essentially I find how American news-shows attempt to provide opinion as news and attempt to pull on heartstrings on what should be matters of logic to make a culture and/or political points intensely humorous.
But that is solely a matter for how I view the American media - and in truth while I feel it is more extreme then other nations media there are distinct similarities.
For those of you that may be caught up in these events I would hope that the impact they will have on you and yours in minimal or even to your benefit, and I did not intend to come across as overly aggravating with either my comments in this or the above post.
Your American media comment was a fair assessment, and I wasn't all that offended.
McStabbs' "East Coasters overreact to storms" on the other hand...
I get that completely. When I first came East and talked about what a storm means in the West to my classmates, they asked how we could manage, to which I replied that it's a lot easier when everyone you know effectively owns their own snow plow. It was a real teachable moment for some of them about the value of infrastructure and civil priorities.
But let's not kid ourselves. I've been out during a 100-year storm in Vegas, and I've been out in a Montana blizzard, and I've been out walking the neighborhood during Hurricane Irene. Of those three, Irene was by far the least impressive to me, yet it received by far the most, to say nothing of most hyperbolic, coverage. In no way does that imply it wasn't bad. Just not as bad as everyone made it out to be, and less bad than a lot of other things that happen elsewhere. If you thought I was saying anything more than that, then I apologize for not being as clear as I should have been.
I hope you're right, Stabbs. The tide is apparently a lot higher than Floyd or Irene levels, so some coastal towns in my state are due to flood, and flood badly. (Certain ones have already started.)

You evidently did not look at Nyarai's picture and see the several feet of water flooding the street drowning roadside. Nor was this isolated, events like it happened all over the northeast
I in the northeast where I'm native too the damage was nothing to sneeze at. My parents went to check their seasonal campsite up in Mass a little after and the local river, was not only closed days later from high water but had nearly washed away the small town nearby and gotten up to a hundred something year old cemetery and washed it out putting bodies into the river.
This was no normal event there.
I was further south at the time of Irene and got nothing. A particularly rainy day and that was it. Throughout New England and upstate New York though it somehow managed flooding on a rare scale.
As a native of the New England I will point out the northeast does not get hurricanes. For over a decade of growing up in the northeast though they were at best tropical storms by the time they got there. A nasty day maybe but no big deal. The northeast is prepared for winter weather, a bunch of snow no problem. Almost as soon as it stops the major roads will be clear(ish), while being passable during the storm most time if you have to go out, and everyone keeps a snowblower in the garage for the season.
The area is not flood prone though, and well frankly... you really cannot prepare for flooding other then by being on ground above it. Even then they are hurricanes are not things the region is used to and got bit bad by not long ago.
Unusual weather will bring a region to a standstill. I have family in Georgia and the occaisonal light (by my terms) snowstorms bring the state to a standstill, for stuff that wouldn't have gotten me a school delay back home. Heck I was in San Diego for awhile and watched rain I walked through without bothering with an umbrella cause gridlock for hours.
(Yes news coverage is full of needless melodrama with such things, but in this case an abundance of concern is more forgivable)
Oh why difficulty 8 this is still Contradict right, standard Thaum activation difficulties are [power's level]+3 which would make it 4 right? Not that it matters...
I believe that this is now dominate and that your sire to be wants to demonstrate power over you by simple imposing his will upon you directly.
Eight is therefore likely your willpower or your current willpower (if different and depending on which is used).
