The court ventured into Sabbat held territory this week and went to Wall Hall. Should of known that something bad would happen. It was obvious really. In fact, I am rather surprised we were unmolested for as long as we were. Almost the whole evening before anyone actually attacked us. And then when they did... it was Isabelle's sire, Martin and a large ball of goop which I eventually learnt was a Tzmisce. Nasty Sabbat. Balls of goop are unnatural for even vampires I feel.

Luckily, Luke managed to scare Goop Man away leaving four of us to deal with Isabelle's sire, Isabelle, myself, Luke and Andrew, although we did not know it was him at first. He was looking like the Prince. From now on I think aura perception is in order for everyone.

It was much harder than we reckoned on. He attacked Andrew repeatedly, grabbed Isabelle and barely flinched when Luke and I both attacked him with whatever came to hand. Somehow, we managed to scare himaway although I think it was more by luck than good fortune.

Iona was in a shouty mood again. She tried to make Isabelle go back the bar even though Isabelle was perfectly happy oputside with us. She went against her will but soon came back to us. At least where we were our attackers were unable to sneak up on us. Note that it did us much good in the end, but think of the outcome if they had. I fear we would not have survived or at the very least would have lost Isabelle.

Poor Lysander also did not fare well although we are not sure xactly what happened to him. When we returned to the bar we found an overturned tree and a Lysander shaped ditch in the floor. Lysander however was no-where to be found. I fear for his safety if we do not find him soon.

On a lighter note, our video empire is closerto fruition. Luke has decided to be manager, financier and promotor while myself and Tanaka are the stars. That should take care of the money side of it.

And then there are the new vampires who have joined us and the strange behaviour of Lenina. There are three new vamps, including Dr. James Fraser, a Nos and a second Toreodor although their names escape me.

Dr. Fraser worries me. He kept giving me strange looks and sitting awfully close. I shall have to be careful around him I think.

Lenina has finally figured out how to remember people. She writes them in her book. Very clever. we shall see how clever when we get back next week.
