    The coertie arrives in Kol, Scotland. A small village located on the northern coast, situated in a small valley. Upon their arrival they are met by Trish Calise, the crusader that jonas has recruited to travel with the coertie, much to their dismay. The coeritie heads from the port to the actual village of Kol. Passing an ancient caern, the coertie stumbles upon Kaaliban and Prothos, two of  the renegade gargoyles from Prague. Taking up residence in the caern, Kalliban and Porthos have been at odds with the local garou, and the recently discovered Black Spiral Dancers. The ceortie departs leaving the gargoyles to defend thier new haven, and head intothe mountain pass. Upon reaching the gates of the village, the coertie is engaged by a local pack of Garou, who are wary of the vampires. Beatrice attempts to parley with the feral garou when an attack by Black Spirals and a giant fomor tear into the garou pack.
    Fleeing to safety within the gates of the village, the coertie manage to gather themselves up for a trek through the village to seek Jonas out. Lala encounters Friar Fearis in the small church and gains ministrations of redemption from the "good" Friars bane whip. The coertie finds Lala and engages the Friar as he is lost in his flogging of the errant vampire. The destruction of Fearis lets loose the bane worms infesting his body, and a few of them manage to hitch a ride outside of the church within the folds of Lalas clothes.
