The Splinters of Dusk are a flexible mercenary clan offering several services, though they are best known for their deeds of exsanguination. Note that we deliberately do not call it assassination because none of what we do results in vampiric death - at most, select victims may fall into a state of torpor.
So, what is it we offer?
Exsanguination
Whether for another or for yourself, this is a care pack of enlightenment. Pain and fear are the only enemies of an immortal creature having nothing to fear but sunlight - and there is a limit on how much pain one can inflict on oneself due to the instincts that we are all bound to.
Purpose: Roleplay, warfare, Suction quest biting pool expansion.
Price tag: Depends on the amount of blood the victim has and how much you want to shave off. For hits on yourself, equivalent to the discount price for the weapons used, otherwise somewhere between discount and normal shop prices.
Payment: 50% upfront, 50% later, except for self-contracts, which are 100% upfront.
Restrictions: There's a separate thread on this, but to nutshell: If the victim or you are on our non-interaction list, are Neutral, or are BattleCloaked, we won't do it.
Loans
The Eventide is a Tide dedicated entirely to coins - we can spare some for a while if you need a temporary loan.
Purpose: Rapid questing, binding ceremonies, severences, et cetera.
Price tag: Aside from giving us the loan back in full, we charge 20% extra, capped at 10 000 coins. So if you borrow 10 000 coins, we expect to get 12 000 coins back; but if you borrow 200 000 coins, we only expect 210 000 coins back.
Payment: Obviously after the fact - and whenever you like. There's no time restriction on it, though we ask you to treat the matter with common sense.
Restrictions: We may turn you down entirely if we don't know enough about you. It's nothing personal - trust is something that grows over time, and we do want to trust the people we give loans to. Mind you, it's a question of OOC trust far moreso than IC trust - so if your character wants to do shady things with the money, we may well be game for that, but you do have to be open about it as a player.
Vampsitting
Sometimes you just can't move your vampire frequently enough to suit your purposes. If you want, we can move your vampire for a time frame, as per your specifications.
Purpose: Celerity quests, just plain going on vacation without internet access.
Price tag: 50 coins a day if the account in question has Second-Sight, 100 coins a day if it doesn't. For Celerity-questing days, double the price (simply because it requires more attention).
Payment: You can pay us before if you know the exact number of days the vampsitting will take (e.g. vacation purposes) - or just afterwards. We're not picky here. Mind you, please don't pay the vampire of the player who vampsat you, that'd trigger a mess.
Restrictions: You have to be able to pay us, of course, so whether you have Neutrality or not is important. Note that we'll purely do grid interaction for you, so we can't and won't organise things for you in communities; e.g. you should probably do Charisma quests on your own, though that's not impossible for us, just costs more AP for your vampire. Furthermore, we will do nothing that would violate the codex. Last but not least, though covered by the first restriction, strictly speaking, we will do no financial transactions with your account, short of robbing people (unless you say otherwise).
Note: You probably want to change your password before you hand over your vampire, to something different than usual, especially if you use your password elsewhere. Please be careful with your passwords on the internet.
Quest help
Currently the only (non-vampsitting) quest help we offer is Charisma - mostly because the other quests don't require any outside help, really.
Purpose: Quest completion regardless of social status.
Price tag: 250 coins per vampire.
Payment: Upfront, non-negotiably. If we don't manage to get the amount of people we promised to you, then you obviously get a refund as per that amount.
Restrictions: For reasons of payment, again, you're not allowed to have Neutrality. That aside, there are none.
Note: Please give us one day to organize the people - and a further two days for them to get there. For an up price of 4500 coins (per vampire), you can ask for a vampire to be teleported to the location if time is running out.
