Gehenna Flavor Texts:


Rare cards:


Blood Trade
Yes, well, we all get angry or scared or hungry
sometimes.  That can make us forget our promises.
Stuart Eberhardt, Caitiff


Blood Weakens
Regain the power that is yours!
Feel the blood flow through you, as it should!
Karen Suadela, Brujah prince


Conquest of Humanity
More bombs?  More fire?  MOre accidents?
What of the Masquerade?
Federico di Padua, Nosferatu archon


Dragonbound
Is this what it's like at the very end?
Maybe I'll just stay.
Ramona, Gangrel


Elysium: Sforzesco Castle
Don't invite people you don't want to attend.


Emergency Powers
It is said that the Black Hand had to remove
several Sabbat elders for the good of the sect.
Fatima al-Faqadi, Assamite


Fortschritt Library
Our diviners find signs and portents
everywhere they look.  The Red Star burns.
Etrius' journal


Fueled by Heart's Blood
I'm starting to hear whispers of warehouses
and old office buildings converted to
internment centers - and buffets.
Okulos, Nosferatu


Momentum's Edge
It might have made Rufus feel better to know that
he was far from the first Kindred to vanish off the
streets of a Camarilla city in recent nights, and
that he would be even farther from the last.


Personal Involvement
Whoever has the nerve, the willingness
to sacrifice everything and anything, that
person is most worthy of the obedience
and respect of the others.
Maximillian, Ventrue


Restricted Vitae
The sword of time will pierce our skins.
It doesn't hurt when it begins.
But as it works its way on in,
The pain grows stronger; watch it grin.
Mike Altman and Johnny Mandel,
"Suicide is Painless"


Servitor of Irad
There will come a time when an Elder Darkness
will stir deep below a city which has forgotten
and will surprise the Elder, its children.
The Book of Nod


The Slow Withering
It's only a question of time before
the withering hits me, and hard.
Beckett, Gangrel


Thirst
Night after night. Rising, hunting, killing, feeding.
Nothing more than ambulatory corpses without
the good sense to lie down and be still.
Felton, Tremere


Torpid Blood
There is no after for us, and yet,
there is an after if kine survive.
Anonymous Malkavian,
Das Buch von der Grabkrieg


The Unmasking
Those in the grip of panic have an unfortunate
habit of disregarding our traditions of Masquerade.
Hardestadt, Ventrue




Common cards:


Black Hand Ritual
The Dragon rises.  You must stop it.
Cyscek, Tzimisce


Conniver
It's all about being charming.  We do a 
little lobbying, you know.  It's in our mutual
interest, a win-win situation, this sort of crap.
Rake, Brujah


Diversity
We must learn not just to accept differences
between ourselves and our ideas, but to 
enthusiastically welcome and enjoy them.
Gene Roddenberry


Emergency Preparations
The duty of the living is to live.  Nothing
more, even for those of us whose lives are
somewhat unnatural.  I cannot speak to 
the duties of the dead.
Eugenio Estevez, Tremere


Entrenching
Rather than a time of peace, it was truly
a time of preparation; it was peaceful only
because the sword had grown dull and the lance
was broken.  Once reforged, it would begin again.
Anonymous Malkavian,
Das Buch von der Grabkrieg


Esgrima
Regular social interaction also serves a more
fundamental function: survival.  Whether a Kindred
likes it or not, he is eventually drawn into
the games of more experienced Kindred; 
and rarely is that a good thing.
Nicholas Cardiff, ghoul


Finding the Path
Without understanding, Kapaneus, everything
else is so much ash and empty sound.
Beckett, Gangrel


Flurry of Action
Jenna Cross and her damn flunkies have
killed two more of my citizens and taken another
nine neighborhoods in the past three months!
Tara, Brujah prince


Games of Instinct
Is this why you arranged for us to be alone
together?  So you could try to 'talk sense'
into me?  Or were you just feeling suicidal?
Tara, Brujah prince


Instinctive Reaction
Beckett had long since learned to trust 
his instincts.  Sharp as they were, augmented
by his undead abilities, they often warned him
of dangers that even his night-vision and
heightened senses were unable to detect.


Jack of Both Sides
Which are the bad bars, the ones you'd
only go to in order to make a score?
Theo Bell, Brujah


Neighborhood Watch Commander (Hunter)
Wild Ones will hunt vampires
even in their strongest cities.
The Book of Nod


Nod
A smart Lick could move merchandise,
people, drugs or just about anything else
using the club as cover.


Occlusion
When you suddenly can smell the moonlight
(and what a stench moonlight can be), and
footsteps become red streaks before your eyes,
it can be overwhelming.  At least for a time.
And a little time goes a long way.
Zlatos, Ravnos


Perfectionist
Tegyrius did not raise his hands to fight
against the inevitable.  He did not scream.


Poison Pill
It's your call.  You do understand that if
this goes sour, I'm going to be the one 
howling loudest for your head, right?
Jenna Cross, thin-blood


Principia Discordia
I am chaos.  I am alive,
and I tell you that you are free.
Principia Discordia


Rebel
She knows I been fighting the Camaretards
a long time and know how to do it.
Jack Drake, Brujah anarch


Revelation of Desire
she thinks love is a cold thing
but I've got plans for her to bleed.
Stew, "Miss Satan"


Scattershot
Tara fired once, blindly, over the table and into
the doorway.  Her objective wasn't actually to hit
anyone (though she certainly wouldn't mind), but
to keep the thin-bloods back for another moment.


Sleep of Reason
We're all in our own personal traps.  We scratch
and claw, but only at the air.
Norman Bates in Psycho


Smoke and Mirrors
If the Truth is dynamic, how will it ever be found?
Dan Gorski


Soak
The wounds he'd suffered would definitely have
killed a mortal and would have destroyed many a 
Kindred.  Jan had only the blood of Hardestadt and
the elders of Clan Ventrue to thank that he'd sur-
vived this long.


Starvation of Marena
I am the vengeance of the Lord and of the
Sword of Caine, and I say unto thee,
thou art twice damned!
Righteous Endeavor, Tzimisce priest


Traditionalist
We are stubborn, self-destructive conformists.
Any other view of our species is just a 
self-congratulatory delusion.
Michael Crichton, The Lost World
