(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): Sebastian makes dem connecteroonis
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): and assumes that where ever they're headed, might lead them to more answers on this skull.
(To GM): nope the rest of lasombra's skeleton is there, this is his skull, and he wakes up and rapes us all
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): it should be noted, the horrible feeling of loneliness and despair this 'person' felt. It if WAS The lasombra founder, it definitely didn't feel like his skin. It was someone far less ancient, but powerful nonetheless.
(To GM): interesting
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): they also felt extreme regret after killing those two boys. You felt the telltale sinking in his chest as he looked down upon them. There was a connection there they had, and whoever it was, ended it ruthlessly. Curious.
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): I'll tell you this much: It isn't related to Lasombra at all
(To GM): i'm thinking woman is the wife, boys are sons
(To GM): was the woman older, the boys younger?
(To GM): similar looking to eachother?
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): yep. It's a very very good assumption, and is likely 100% true given the woman's reaction. And yes,the boys both had dirty blonde hair, and the woman was also fair haired and with similar features. When he looked at her, the frenzy he was in also immediatley ended.
(To GM): could i determine how long ago the vision took place based on the style of their clothing?
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): the most educated guess he could make off of it, is that whoever the skull belonged to, is somehow still alive and has been disconnected with their skull. The period in which this took place looked truly ancient, literally biblical, as they were all dressed in simple linens and had only the most basic of housing.

(To GM): wait, they're still alive?
(To GM): how did i figure that out lol
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): the area where he killed the boys also looked to be somewhere remote and vibrant, likely within the regions of the indus valley or even euphrates possibly.
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): You assume that if the skull is giving you visions and showing you things, something's still kicking in there somehow. That or you're being fucked with.
(To GM): there is a malk on one of these boats
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): It's true. The visions and feelings you felt were powerful and genuine though, and since he guessed the connection to the skull, it's not impossible he could draw the conclusion that it's far more significant an item than he originally thought, OR the malk's just messing with him,.
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): his guess isn't wrong either way, since it still requires more studying. He stilled glamed a lot from it though, and assumes that whatever he saw, was a true vision into the past.
(To GM): you said the vision felt like Hell, right?
(To GM): maybe this guy is dead but his soul is trapped in hell being forced to relive his worst memories and this is a cry for help
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): It was hellish in the sense that it was uncanny and unlike anything he'd ever seen. He saw a flood that was WORLD-WIDE,and it was consuming him. It wasn't a literal hell, but the sense of seclusion, unknown and utter darkness was harrowing to the person to say the least. He was experiencing what Sebastian assumes to the Great Deluge itself, so it was a pretty scary, miraculous thing to behold.

(To GM): ah i see
(To GM): any magical mojo i think i can wring out of it?
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): He knows for sure now that there may be more to this Skull's origins, that much is obivous. As for any magical bits, he can tell more assuredly that it's been saturated in true magic, and powerful magic at that. Whatever's allowing this skull to continue existing without becoming ash, is likely because of this spell that's been placed over it. As to what spell though, it's simply too complex to discern at the current moment. (I think Thaumaturges can detect true magic and shit right?)
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): and if not, well, he can at least discern that this vampiric skull definitely shouldn't be in it's current state without the help of something mystical.
(To GM): Sebastian used to be a hermetic mage anyway, but yeah i think Thaumaturges have some knowledge of true magic since it's based on that
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): He thinks it'd be far too risky to try and extract anything directly, since it's a very old skull. Still, there's no question that true magic was used on this, and by someone of great power and knowledge, in order to keep this skull sustained without destroy it's owner.
(To GM): yeah when i first identified it you said it might be able to do weird magic shit like lower generation or other stuff, but I think i've milked you for enough info for one night
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): His best call at the moment is to simply keep it protected, and to continue the journey. The skull was dormant in London, but now it seems the seas have stirred it somehow. He believes, since one of his visions was about this massive flood, that they might be headed somewhere related to it. Sebastian believes that he could indeed milk the raw power from it with enough time. If he wants to sacrifice the skull for it's innate power, he may, but it will be at the exchange of the skull itself, and likely whoever it belonged too, since it'll effectively be just like diablerizing the cainite whom it belonged to.
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): He will be the only person to gain the benefits of the power as well, if he chooses to consume it's power. It will also take time to break the protective magic over the skull as well.
(To GM): isn't diablerizing a pre flood vampire a potentially retarded idea?
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): So he's got two choices! To eat the skull, or not to eat the skull..
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): usually. THis one seems to be a skull at the moment though, and it may not be capable of even fighting back in it's current state
(From Mastah Fizz (GM)): AKA, it's severly weakned, and isn't on the same level as a 3rd gen or anything.
(To GM): i think i'll wait for more info, i don't want to cap some guy that turns out to be holding the flood out of a sunken city or something and kill everyone by accident
