A Stroll Through Denver - 1

Synopsis
A man enters the penthouse, standing before the coterie. He is drenched, but a beautiful amulet is worn around his neck and immediately catches the attention of Clyde, the Malkavian. The man says a tsunami chased him through the streets and whilst explaining his story, all but one is high skeptical. It's raining, but there is no sign of flooding down below. As the man tries to convince them, another very large man and a troupe of identical minions appear in the living room. The man announces his presence, demanding 'the kid' to show themselves and to return the amulet. He, the drenched man, reveals his presence, reluctant to return the amulet. Combat soon follows. The larger man, whose very body radiated a supernatural heat, is flung out the window by Elias - the Banu Haqim - and the now slightly less drenched individual. The rest of his minions are violently subdued. They begin delegating clean up service and investigating what had just occurred. Elias tastes the blood of the large man that stains her blade and tastes the taste of a thousand men - ashes and fire - something truly sinister and deeply unnatural. She warns Alex, the Toreador, of this and both seek their own measure of preparation. Though, Elias feels a strange attraction to this strange ichor. Thomas spends time with the minions and samples the blood, also feeling that same attraction. After further study, he sees that they're likely dealing with elementals. And between the minions, one of filth and pollution and another of flames and ash. Erik, now properly introduced, sees on the news coverage of a burned down crematorium. Telling the others of this, Elias and Thomas decide to investigate it alongside him. While the others plan accordingly.
