Canada by Night a Vampire the Masquerade Podcast

Preparing for their final meeting with Keighley, Martha confessed to Thea that Matthew had passed on (Thea took the news surprisingly well), Val talked Will and herself into trying to get Will added to the Ghoul Pool, and Everett introduced his mother to the department before they headed out. Through skillful negotiation, Keighley was made an agent of the Prince and will be travelling to Vancouver to learn more about the Cult of Lilith.

In a clandestine meeting with Detective Keighley, Everett took 3 bullets to the face but finally convinced Keighley vampires were real and the two scheduled a meeting for the following night. Back in New Haven, Val and Martha had a therapy session where Val faced some hard truths about Will’s interest in vampirism, while Everett’s dad grilled the Sheriff about the risks of his stoic reputation before ending the night asking about Harv.

With evidence in hand, Everett led the department to a meeting with Detective Keighley at an isolated location. Martha tried to connect with the Sheriff telepathically until she almost ran out of blood. Val was bothered by the others so she stood watch alone, only to realize exactly how isolated she has become. And Everett almost managed to convince Keighley that vampires were real, only to find himself being shot in the head… again.

After some tense negotiations, Everett led the team back to New Haven to collect evidence to present to Keighley about what happened to the mortal detective’s sister. Martha spent the car ride learning more about Chet Mango, and Val grew silently emotional when Sheriff Cross came up in conversation about the cult’s other crimes. But can Everett prove vampires are real and bring Keighley to New Haven without being forced to kill him?

After swearing in Everett’s father, the department received a call from Detective Keighley telling them to meet at a nearby McDonalds. On the way there, Chet Mango was distracted by Michael Arden’s potential birthday before Everett lied to smooth things over. Arriving as instructed, Everett left for a secondary location to meet Keighley while the other kindred stayed behind. Can Everett bring Keighley in, or will he be forced to kill the mortal detective?

On the ride back from Eavesgrove, Everett fell into a paranoia compulsion but still managed to comfort his mother when he returned and ended up sleeping in the bedroom she provided for him. The next night Martha made tea for the people she had lost, Val survived a follow-up conversation with Will, and when they all arrived at the office, Everett realized he’d need to invent an oath to swear in his father as his newest officer.

Closing out the night after the department exorcised the ghosts of their fallen foes, Everett took Chet Mango to Eavesgrove where the two successfully mindwiped their first target. Martha was exhausted from the ghostly ordeal and really just wanted to rest, while Val took Will to Dairy Cream for a treat that led to yet another hard conversation about Will’s desire to become a vampire.

Having defeated hostile spirits, and discovered that the fallen mortal officers of New Haven have formed a protective “Ghost Squad” in the afterlife, the coterie took stock of their situation. Val made sure the daytime squad felt supported and safe. Martha visited Thea in the hospital but didn’t tell her Matthew Sumner had died, and Everett started driving Chet Mango to Eavesgrove to stop its ongoing threat to the Masquerade Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.

All three members of the Sheriff’s Department had been possessed. Everett was trapped inside Torpor Springs, Val in the Brujah fighting pits, and Martha was back in Bits & Bobs. They could have been lost forever, except they were rescued by the ghosts of the fallen mortal members of the department. These dead heroes gave the coterie a chance to destroy the haunted polaroid at the centre of this nightmare. When they did the evil ghosts disappeared, and the department learned they’d lost Matthew Sumner.

With Everett and Val possessed by ghosts from their past, it was up to Martha to exorcise her compatriots. Leaving the mortal officers outside, Martha entered the haunted apartment and found herself in a spiritual battle with Thea’s adopted son’s ghost inside Thea’s body. After chanting didn’t work, and hostility led to the demise of an unseen hostage, Martha heroically offered herself up as a vessel for Daniel to possess. Will her sacrifice work, or has Martha doomed the entire Sheriff’s Department?

As the department faced a supernatural hostage situation, Val and Everett were goaded into action by ghosts from their past. Martha watched as Everett was possessed by the fallen Prince Toastarosa and Val was possessed by the late Brian Tombstone. Now it’s up to Martha - the only vampire still in control of herself - to save Thea, Everett’s father, Val, Everett, and any other hostages from the ghosts of all of their collective pasts.  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.

As the team hurried towards the VMFPB, Martha’s mind wandered into the past, and she relived the darkest night of her mortal life. She remembered the occult store she co-owned with Thea, Bits & Bobs, and a battle with Thea’s adopted son Daniel over expensive artwork that ultimately forced Martha to take his life. With new clues burning in her mind from this memory as she hurries into a hostage situation - will this knowledge help her defeat the coming threat or will it distract her and cost her everything?

The mind-wiping, birthday party-obsessed freelancer Chet Mango arrived at the station, and Everett attempted and failed to bargain him down to a lower rate. Martha then told Val and the Sheriff about all the recent mysterious happenings, as well as her past and how she had taken the life of one of Thea’s sons. But as she looked inward to read her own aura and focused on the VMFPB, she saw Thea’s sons lunging at her, and Barty rushed in yelling about a hostage situation.  Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.

Before continuing to investigate the officers from Eavesgrove, the coterie dealt with personal matters. Barty presented some options for Will’s birthday, Val got angry when the talk turned to Will’s desire to become a vampire, but Barty stood his ground and they came to an understanding. Everett decided to follow up with Martha after she met with her clan leader, and Michael Arden agreed to help inspect Martha’s apartment, though not until the following night.

As a new night began, the coterie checked in on their loved ones. Everett’s parents were moving into the VMFPB and had strong opinions about his living conditions, Martha grew even more concerned about Thea when she saw that their paintings had been flipped upside down and then found a photo album of Martha’s previous life laid out under her bed, and Val checked on Will, who wasn’t handling being trapped in the apartment very well, but at least he was excited at the idea of a birthday party.

With a directive to hire mind-wiper Chet Mango, outstanding debts, and dwindling financial resources, the coterie had to figure out how to afford the Malkavian’s services. They decided to offer to throw a birthday party to satisfy Mango’s particular clan trait, then turned their attention to identifying the Eavesgrove officers they had encountered at The Shield. Val and Martha had some success, while Everett was forced to deal with his beast and Barty made amends with Arwin.

The coterie pursued Detective Keighley back to the bar. Everett briefly tried to commiserate with him and quickly left in the hopes that the detective would mull it over, but whereas none of the other cops had believed Keighley before, Everett’s presence lent legitimacy to his concerns. The coterie peeled out before a fight could begin, and Everett called the Prince to request Unity’s help, which was denied. Can the coterie track down the officers from the bar and mindwipe them all with classic police work and one freelancer?

The coterie made plans with Detective Keighley to meet at a cop bar in Eavesgrove. When Everett and Val entered the bar, however, Keighley confronted Martha, who panicked, tried to made him forget the last few minutes, and ran. While Martha texted Val, Keighley recovered and took off, more determined than ever to find answers. Martha used ritual magic to find him, but the coterie must now choose whether to let him escape or pursue a target who seems quite prepared to deal with adversaries.

As the next evening began, Val bought a box set of What We Do in the Shadows for Will to try to cheer him up, and Martha once again arranged for Matthew Sumner to watch over Thea. Everett, meanwhile, found out from Barty and Troy that the ghoul experience might not be that bad for his father if he could keep him mostly out of harm’s way. With Unity away on a special assignment for the Prince, the rest of the coterie strategized how to approach their next target, Detective Lawrence Keighley.

Val and Everett questioned Mayor Mike Kardashian, Martha scried his soul, and Unity looked into his social media analytics. They realized that the first mindwipe had worked, but he had simply repeatedly posted about a variety of topics until the mention of missing people grabbed his constituents’ attention and they started asking questions again. The coterie paid him to tailor his post to topics of their choosing and returned to New Haven, only to be greeted by Matthew Theobald, who had a new mission for Unity.
