Yeah I'm a top tier supporter of this as well because it's absolutely worth it.
As for Carmen and Greagor being targets, which this is true, they are both at Sharon's house in the city now and you assume will be for Sharon's investiture and as they've said a haven is supposed to be a safe space, so if Astrid and Marcius made a move on them in Sharon's Haven on the night of her Investiture it would be a massive violation of their laws bordering on an act of war, an Archon laying siege to the home of another would be bad enough, but to be on another vampire the night their being made an Archon, that would a be a massive shitshort I doubt that Marcius would want raining down on him.
Now if Greagor managed to escape or convinces Carmen to leave under her own accord that would be something different,if he managed to get her outside Sharon's haven then they would be fair game you would assume.
Astrid is in the following position-
She has demonstrated that she knew about the hunters before she should have, and revealed that the missing one is at her house.
She has demonstrated knowledge of what was going down in Scottstown when she had no reason to know.
She was blindly walking in not knowing that the Feral Nos was destroyed, nor that the Princeps was being forced by Calisto to reward Sharon.
She has tipped her hand publicly, too soon, and ineffectually. She has made Marcius complicit in her crimes.
Gregor has said all that needed to be said in order to prove that Astrid was working with the hunters, and that she wants to now Kill Sharon, and take the MC for herself.
In short, if we were playing poker, she threw away what would have been a straight flush on her draw, and came up with a pair of deuces.
So Astrid has very little to lose by breaking a tradition of sanctuary by attacking within Sharon's home, when it is so blatant even Sharon can connect the dots that Astrid was guilty of plotting the Scottstown gig to humiliate Sharon. She petulantly complained several times that Marcius had promised her the MC as a toy, and she will be unable to count Marcius as a reliable ally going forward.... because lets face it; Sharon is good people... Marcius is not. He will drop Astrid like a bad habit to save his skin... which may also be forfeit in the coming conflict. That would be so Juicy, to shake up the town by killing an Archon (maybe two if the Southern Archon has Andrew's family in thralldom and on display), the destruction of Astrid, who is likely an elder of some sort, even if she masks it for her role as a Mata Hari type spy. (cross dressing, cross gendering Mata Hari lol)
If Astrid was the whirlwind from the woods, I expect her fight to actually be between the MC as Sharon's Champion, and Astrid. That should be exciting.
Now, I know we should not just judge a book by it's cover, but for me, the number one priority I now have in the game is to stick a straw into the heart of the smirking Princeps and have my Main Character commit diablerie on him in front of everyone at court. Calisto and Fabian can run crowd control, and while that won't lower our generation, it should share some interesting tidbits of knowledge and a discipline or 3.
Yeah I am salivating for the next few updates...
Peace
