Rules
The Ascension of Caine is a constructed V:TES Storyline event designed principally for play at the Grand Masquerade taking place in Berlin on 11th-14th May 2017, but which can be repeated by
play groups worldwide.

Except as noted in these instructions, each Storyline game will follow the VEKN Constructed Tournament rules for card play and deck construction. Each Storyline game will be timed to a maximum duration of 2 hours.

At least 75% (e.g. 9 out of 12) of the vampires in each player’s crypt must belong to the same clan. In this context, ‘clan’ includes all bloodlines, Panders and Imbued, but not Caitiff.

In addition to the standard list of VEKN banned cards and errata, the following changes apply:
 The event card Recalled to the Founder is banned from play.
 The print and play cards Amulet of the Ancients, Visage of Caine and Nefertiti Advanced are legal for play.
 The cost to influence Ankla Hotep into play is reduced by 1 pool if you control a ready Setite, or is reduced by 2 pool if you control Nefertiti (any version).
 Any Justicar you control may take an action at +1 stealth to search your library for an Archon card and put that card in your hand (discard down afterwards).
 Any Cardinal you control may take an action at +1 stealth to search your library for a Templar card and put that card in your hand (discard down afterwards).
 If you control a ready vampire who has a city title for Berlin, then he or she gains +1 strength and +1 bleed.

This Storyline event will be played in a standard tournament format of 2 or 3 rounds, plus a concluding final of the top scoring players.
Nefertiti (Advanced)
Follower of Set, group 2, capacity 10
cel pot DOM OBF PRE SER
Independent: Nefertiti can search your crypt for an Aabt Kindred, reveal it and move it to your uncontrolled region as a +1 stealth action. She can search your library for a mummy ally, reveal it and move it to your hand as a +1 stealth action.
(Merge) Nefertiti can unlock during each of your minion phases.
Amulet of the Ancients
Equipment
Unique. This vampire gets +1 level of all of their disciplines, and action cards requiring a Discipline cost them 1 less blood. Any minion can steal this card as a (D) action; Followers of Set and Bane Mummies get +1 stealth on that action.
Visage of Caine
Action, Chimerstry, cost 3 blood
Unique.
(chi) Put this card on this vampire. This vampire gets +1 bleed, +1 strength, and younger vampires and allies must burn 1 blood or life to attempt to block them. During your unlock phase, burn 1 pool or burn this card.
(CHI) As above, but this vampire gets +2 bleed and +2 strength.
Die Datei mit den Regeln enthält noch ein paar weitere Informationen, aber das hier oben ist das wesentliche....

ich habe von Mike Nudd, dem Storyline- Coordinator, eine Bestätigung bekommen:

Unser Turnier soll von den veröffentlichen Regeln für das Storyline abweichen:
Wir wollen drei Runden spielen, statt 2 oder 3 Runden plus Finale.

Aber Mike ist da flexibel, und hat geschrieben, wenn die Spieler dies wollen, so ist das auch für ihn OK, und er werde unseren Turnierbericht akzeptieren.
Wir können also die Welt ändern. 8)

Event Report „Ascension of Caine“ Bochum, Germany, July 09, 2017

The Management Summary

One after another, they trickled into the city…. smuggling easily hidden weapons into town… and some of their clan’s most prized artifacts… all preparing for the arrival of their leader Ankla Hotep. The Ravnos planned to end what they considered just an illusion held by the Camarilla: Berlin was to be free.

But they did not go unnoticed: The Nosferatu caught on to what was happening, and rallied the Ventrue and Toreador to the cause. For a brief, but bloody time, Berlin was the center of attention for various Justicars, Princes, and even Inner Circle members, trying to thwart the incursion.

As so often with these nightly wars, after the first successes against the common enemy, there was a large amount of inter-Camarilla backstabbing: Trying to go unnoticed in the chaos, not only did the Nosferatu secretly settle some old grudges with the mighty Ventrue, but also the Toreador managed to have Wilhelm Waldburg, the Prince of Berlin, “accidentally” be killed by one of the Archons present in the city.

In the end, after a desperate struggle, the invading forces managed to scatter the defenses of the Camarilla, beginning with the death of Cock Robin, Justicar of the Nosferatu: The Ravnos might also have lost their leader, Ankla Hotep… but they had broken a hold the Camarilla had had over the German capital for long decades. The Ravnos had ousted the Camarilla from the city of Berlin!

…or had they?

Underground, in a well-hidden bunker, an obese, ugly creature sat, its pale mottled hands typing data into a state-of-the-art laptop. A large spreadsheet showed on the screen. One last number, one return key…. then the result was displayed on the screen. The creature bared a set of crooked, very sharp teeth… and smiled an ugly smile.

Players, Results, Decks, & Prominent Vampires

1. Gerhard Range, VEKN ID 3820003, 1 GW, 4 VP, 148 TP:
Nosferatu Multi-act Toolboxy Bleed prominently feat. Cock Robin & Baron Dieudonne

2. Michael Halten, VEKN ID 3840064, 1 GW, 4 VP, 90 TP:
Ravnos Bleed & Equipment Illusions prominently feat. Ankla Hotep

3. Jan Sonnenberg, VEKN ID 3620007, 0 GW, 1 VP, 112 TP:

4. Ralf Lammert, VEKN ID 1003376, 0 GW, 0,5 VP, 82 TP:
Ventrue Old School Law Firm prominently feat. Arika, Democritus, the three G1 Princes, & Wilhelm Waldburg

Rounds

The event was played in a format of 3 rounds, without final.

Round 1: Nosferatu (1,5 VP) -> Ravnos -> Toreador (0,5 VP) -> Ventrue (0.5 VP)
Round 2: Toreador (0,5 VP)-> Nosferatu (2,5 VP, GW) -> Ventrue -> Ravnos
Round 3: Ventrue -> Toreador -> Ravnos (4 VP, GW) -> Nosferatu (table sweep with 1,5 minutes left on the clock)

Most important locations, equipment and allies

The Ravnos brought a large and colorful supply of equipment to their attack on Berlin – some real, some only there in the minds of their opponents: Wooden Stakes, Garrottes, Pier 13, Deer Rifle, Blade of Enoch, Karavalanisha Vrana, Treasured Samadji.

The Ventrue managed to control, and use to good effect (to threaten with, or to actually do damage), the Island of Yiaros in all three rounds.

Most unusual or unexpected actions

Anneke calleda Judgment: Camarilla Segregation, due to which a by then bloodless Ankla Hotep was burned.

Anneke was selected as target for a Toreador Justicar vote (to allow the player to cycle cards and use a Voter Captivation) – which then just confirmed the title she already had.

Cock Robin, who in his efforts to block the Ravnos was torporized with a Mayaparisatya, was diablerized by Salbatore Bokkengro.

Wilhelm Waldburg attempted to aggressively bleed the Toreador, who used an Archon Investigation to burn him.

Democritus, using the Island of Yiaros, torporized Masika.

Über die Spiele selber wird Hardy vermutlich noch berichten. Er hat sich zumindest Notitzen dazu gemacht.
Ich werde mal aus meiner Sicht alles drumherum beschreiben. Ich habe mir vor dem Turnier Gedanken gemacht, was für Decks in dem Setup wohl gespielt werden und welches Deck, das wenigstens ein wenig von den Sonderregeln nutzt, damit zurecht kommt. Da viele Karten entweder mit votes oder mit strength zu tun haben, bin ich davon ausgegangen, das sowas auch kommt. Hardy und Ralf haben diese Erwartungen auch voll erfüllt. Gegen die votes wollte ich intercept haben. Gegen potence combat habe ich mich für cel gun entschieden. Beides Konzepte in denen ich mich im Gegensatz zu Followers of Set oder Ravnos einigermassen zu Hause fühle. Für jemanden, der so selten spielt wie ich ein entscheidenter Faktor, um Spielfehler zu vermeiden. Hat nicht ganz geklappt. Der nächste Faktor, der bei der Deckauswahl eine Rolle gespielt hat, war der Umstand, das ich mich bei den Sonderregeln verlesen habe. Ich habe Alastor statt Archon gelesen. Deswegen, und weil ich plötzlich keine Zeit mehr hatte ein eigenes Deck zu bauen, habe ich dann ein Deck aus der Secret library eins zu eins nachgebaut. Bei einigen Karten habe ich mich zwar gewundert, aber am Ende haben sie sich alle als nützlich erwiesen.

zu den Spielen: ich weis nicht mehr,welches das erste und welches das zweite Spiel war. Bei einem war ich zum Ende des Timelimits weit davon entfernt mehr als einen halben VP zu bekommen. Beim anderen hätte ich eine Chance haben können, wenn noch so ca. 10min auf der Uhr gewesen wären. Bein dritten Spiel wurden mir zwei VP im Prinzip auf dem Silberteller serviert, die ich dann mit einem dummen Spielfehler verschenkt habe.

Alles in allem hat es mir sehr viel Spass gemacht. Es waren spannende Spiele. Besonders Michael hat ein Deck mit ungewöhnlichen Karten gespielt und sich dabei viele Gedanken über den Bezug zu dem Storyline Hintergrund gemacht. Ich hätte ihm den Sieg gegönnt, aber Hardy hatte am Ende überraschend mehr TP. Schade, das wir nur so wenige waren und man dadurch immer gegen die gleichen Decks gespielt hat.

Vielen Dank an Hardy für das Ausrichten.

Wer rechnet denn schon mit TPs...

Die Camarilla hat sich echt angestrengt, die Illusion, Kain wäre zurückgekehrt aufzudecken.

Zudem mussten alle auch mit den Fall der Camarilla rechnen. Es gab ja laut dem Storyline eine Frist, also habe ich Gehenna Karten gespielt und natürlich auch Fall of the Camarilla und Fall of the Sabbat. :twisted:

Mit ein paar Mass Realitys, Suspension of Disbelief, Horrid Reality, Fata Morgana, Edged Illusion in der Hall of Mirrors hat Ankla für einiges an Verwirrung gesorgt.
Und mit den Dreams of the Sphinx hat er an seine Geliebte gedacht.

Mit dem liegenden Blood Trade wurde sogar ein Handel zwischen den Nosferatu und den Toreador geschlossen. Blut gegen Stimmen.
