Canada by Night a Vampire the Masquerade Podcast

As a new night began, the coterie checked in on their loved ones. Everett’s parents were moving into the VMFPB and had strong opinions about his living conditions, Martha grew even more concerned about Thea when she saw that their paintings had been flipped upside down and then found a photo album of Martha’s previous life laid out under her bed, and Val checked on Will, who wasn’t handling being trapped in the apartment very well, but at least he was excited at the idea of a birthday party.

With a directive to hire mind-wiper Chet Mango, outstanding debts, and dwindling financial resources, the coterie had to figure out how to afford the Malkavian’s services. They decided to offer to throw a birthday party to satisfy Mango’s particular clan trait, then turned their attention to identifying the Eavesgrove officers they had encountered at The Shield. Val and Martha had some success, while Everett was forced to deal with his beast and Barty made amends with Arwin.

The coterie pursued Detective Keighley back to the bar. Everett briefly tried to commiserate with him and quickly left in the hopes that the detective would mull it over, but whereas none of the other cops had believed Keighley before, Everett’s presence lent legitimacy to his concerns. The coterie peeled out before a fight could begin, and Everett called the Prince to request Unity’s help, which was denied. Can the coterie track down the officers from the bar and mindwipe them all with classic police work and one freelancer?

The coterie made plans with Detective Keighley to meet at a cop bar in Eavesgrove. When Everett and Val entered the bar, however, Keighley confronted Martha, who panicked, tried to made him forget the last few minutes, and ran. While Martha texted Val, Keighley recovered and took off, more determined than ever to find answers. Martha used ritual magic to find him, but the coterie must now choose whether to let him escape or pursue a target who seems quite prepared to deal with adversaries.

As the next evening began, Val bought a box set of What We Do in the Shadows for Will to try to cheer him up, and Martha once again arranged for Matthew Sumner to watch over Thea. Everett, meanwhile, found out from Barty and Troy that the ghoul experience might not be that bad for his father if he could keep him mostly out of harm’s way. With Unity away on a special assignment for the Prince, the rest of the coterie strategized how to approach their next target, Detective Lawrence Keighley.

Val and Everett questioned Mayor Mike Kardashian, Martha scried his soul, and Unity looked into his social media analytics. They realized that the first mindwipe had worked, but he had simply repeatedly posted about a variety of topics until the mention of missing people grabbed his constituents’ attention and they started asking questions again. The coterie paid him to tailor his post to topics of their choosing and returned to New Haven, only to be greeted by Matthew Theobald, who had a new mission for Unity.

The coterie met with Mayor Kardashian. Martha posed as a social media consultant and learned that his goal was to become the President of the United States, but she forgot to ask about the missing people. Everett and Val used Unity’s bitcoin to buy the suits of the political advisors who were supposed to meet with the mayor next, but when they arrived at the mayor’s door, the original consultants had called him and Everett ended up pretending that he and Val were actually CIA agents.

As a new evening fell, Val checked in on Will, Everett tried to convince his parents to move into the Family Protection Building, and Martha noticed inexplicable phenomena happening in her kitchen and grew more concerned about Thea. The coterie heard that their mission to turn Elena Marlowe’s attention toward the mine was successful, and they headed out to visit Mayor Kardashian next. Unity hacked into the mayor’s calendar, but can the coterie convince him that they’re political consultants?

At the Sykes Mine, the coterie donned company uniforms, Unity hacked into the security system, and they found where the mine’s owner was staying on-site. Having learned that the owner was violently targeting pro-union organizers, Val mangled and buried the corpse they had brought and Everett used Ben Chris Gouter’s hand to plant evidence he had been there as a whistleblower. Martha then had Arwin return Detective Cain’s phone to him as the final piece in their plan.

The coterie discussed how best to use the evidence from Anti-Corpse to put an end to Elena Marlowe’s search for the truth about her husband. Ultimately, they decided to plant evidence of a mining accident, implicate the mine’s union busters, and use their detective in Plainsville to point Elena in the direction of the corrupt local police. As they enter the grounds of the Sykes Mining Company, can the coterie create a believable crime scene without getting caught?

The coterie dealt with the fallout of their bestial failures. Unity distracted herself from her hunger by scouring the web and found even more instances of the religious graffiti. Val and Everett destroyed Raldoron Twixt’s car so it wouldn’t lead the authorities to New Haven, and the next morning, they talked through the experience and came to an understanding. Martha, meanwhile, grew concerned about Thea’s nightmares and the mysterious, though seemingly benign changes in their apartment.

While Unity’s car charged, Everett and Martha borrowed one from Raldoron Twixt and pursued Val into Plainsville. Val took advantage of her headstart, broke into the house of her target, Detective Cain, roughed him up, and stole his phone. Outside, Everett was waiting, and they faced off, both at the mercy of their beasts. Val relented when the sheriff triggered memories of her father, but when Martha tried to remove the memories of the altercation, Everett destroyed Raldoron’s car to clear his mind.

The coterie made their decision about Elena Marlowe. After Unity discovered that Ben had been in Elena’s life for far longer than a memory wipe could touch, they decided to plant evidence of his death instead. Unity fought her compulsion inside a locked cell, and Everett and Val acquired the physical evidence from Anti-Corpse. But as they considered who in law enforcement they could use in their ruse, Val recalled a detective who had hurt her ex, and peeled out to find him and hurt him.

Val, Everett, and Martha regrouped with Unity, who sent them back to Elena Marlowe with a tracker, which Everett managed to place on her jacket. Martha took the opportunity to read Elena’s aura and determined that her resistance to the mindwipes was driven by her love for her husband and the depth of his impact on her life, so Val suggested that implanting a memory of what happened to her husband, instead of wiping her mind again, might be more successful.

The coterie made their way to a vigil in Hillmont to investigate Elena Marlowe, a figure seemingly at the centre of the failed mindwipes in the community. Val began to wonder if the Second Inquisition was involved, as they noticed religious warnings graffitied around the area, so Unity stayed in the car to research their recent activity. When Val, Martha, and Everett finally found Elena Marlowe, they discovered she was the wife of Ben Chris Gouter, a victim who had died while in their custody.

As a new night began, Everett apologized to Val for treating her like a killing machine, and Val vented about Will and asked Everett to accompany her later to see her father. Martha, meanwhile, became worried about her friend, Thea’s, troubling visions, but as the coterie regrouped, they focused on their strategy and decided to visit Hillmont first to speak with Elena Marlowe. Martha disguised Unity’s more noticeable Nosferatu features and they headed out. How will the coterie deal with this Elena Marlowe?

The coterie began looking into the failing mindwipes. While Everett reviewed the coroner’s reports on the cult victims, Unity discovered that three people from surrounding communities were at the centre of the recurring memories. Everett wanted to bring them to New Haven, but Val pushed back and they were left at an impasse. Martha then read Everett’s aura without his consent, which he forbade her from doing ever again.

After the events at the farm, the coterie reconnected with their loved ones. Val checked in on Will, who continued to make his case for becoming kindred, Martha and Thea boosted each other up, and Everett awoke feeling ashamed of what he had done. Voticia Maddams arrived at the department, calling in her favour, for the Malkavians had wiped the minds of the people affected by the recent abductions, but for some reason they kept remembering. Unity Castille, has been sent to help, but can they contain the situation before the Masquerade is breached?

Caught in a firefight with the Genovese mafia, the coterie had precious few moments to prevent their enemies from escaping. Val rammed the bus into the boss’s car before jumping in to help Everett, Troy took out several mafiosos as Martha hyped him up, and Everett chased down Torino Antony and put a very final end to the confrontation. The coterie finally slept in graves, having repaid one favour. But when they return to New Haven, are they prepared to respond to yet another favour owed?

The coterie prepared to ambush the Genovese farm using the mafia’s own bus. Martha sent Arwin ahead to do recon and set up scarecrows in the bus, topped with severed heads, Val and Bessily hid inside waiting to attack, and Everett and Martha followed behind by car. Their captive and bus driver, Torino, talked his way through the gate and immediately gunned it forward to take out as many mafiosos as he could.

The coterie’s captive, Torino, answered the call from the Genovese boss. They learned the mafia’s farm was expecting a bus to return, so the coterie decided to find it and use it themselves to ambush the compound. While they planned, Genovese called again to demand the reason for the delay, and Torino panicked and claimed they had found gold on the property and were loading it onto the bus.

The coterie gave chase to their fleeing enemies. Val’s beast drained one and fully satisfied her hunger before she took another one captive, Martha subdued one by clouding his memory, and Everett captured a third. After Everett eliminated one to scare the others, Val interrogated a very cooperative prisoner who revealed that the mafia’s farm was a front, they had been sent to take out Collins Farm, and the boss was about to call to confirm the job was done.

After some initial investigation, Everett and Val got the impression that Nikgen Farms was merely a mortal operation, but Martha and Troy ran back, alerting them to armed assailants approaching from the corn. The enemies refused Everett’s call to stand down and the sheriff gave the order to subdue them. Val used her bare hands, and Martha proved to be effective with a firearm and her ability to modify memories. With the remainder of the enemy fleeing, can the coterie capture them and avoid a Masquerade breach?    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Rowan McGee called in the favour owed to the Gangrel clan and asked the sheriff to deal with a hostile mortal agricultural business interfering with the clan’s corn harvest. Everett, Val, Martha, and Troy headed out of town to Collins Farm, hoping for diplomacy but prepared for violence. They learned from the owner, Bessily Collins, that the mortal business, Nikgen Farms, was owned by the Genovese mafia family from New York.

As the coterie returned to their usual work, Val struggled with how to handle her father’s fate and Will’s despondency. After an uncomfortable phone call with her ex, she had her first therapy session with Martha, who read Val’s complicated aura and began to plan a more tailored approach to helping her. Meanwhile, Everett reviewed all their reports on the Children of Lilith and realized how little they know, but that’s a matter for later because the Gangrel have called in their favour.    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

On the day of the funeral for the fallen officers, an extremely pregnant Martha revealed that she cycles through three aspects of the divine feminine: maiden, mother, and crone. After a difficult service, Martha sensed Everett and Val’s guilt and frustration over the mortal officers they had lost and she suggested they find a way to blow off steam. In the end, all of the officers and their families gathered at the arcade for a night of connection that was sorely needed.

Martha accompanied Val to the Family Protection Building, but before considering moving in, she cleansed the vibes of the empty apartments while Val quickly packed up what Evangeline left behind. Martha cleansed Val’s apartment too, but when the ritual ran long, she stayed overnight. Everett meanwhile became frustrated with his father for oversimplifying everything, and so Everett left to drink and share stories with Barty, before facing tomorrow and the funerals of mortal officers he barely knew.   Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Having hired Martha, Barty discussed funeral arrangements for the fallen officers, instructed Val to begin therapy with Martha, and offered to accompany Everett to see his parents. Martha set out with Val, but when Val provided only a superficial tour of the town, Martha pressed her to share the emotional impact of recent events. Everett revealed his vampire nature to his parents, and they took it surprisingly well, but can Everett prevent his father from ghouling himself joining the department?   Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

The prince arrived at the station with news and directives. He took care of the debts owed to the factions in Calgary, but the department is still indebted to the New Haven clans that were harmed in the past few weeks, and he brought Everett’s parents and Val’s father to New Haven to protect them, but left the fate of Val’s father in her hands. Everett, Val, and Barty then received a letter from Doris that stipulated the traits that their new hire must have. Fortuitously, one candidate, Martha, fit perfectly.    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Val world was shaken when she learned her father, now a vampire himself, was being held in the prince’s custody. Everett was confronted by his own parents, who had thought he was dead, and he promised to visit later to explain. But before turning to personal matters, Michael Arden, at the prince’s request, sent several Tremere to apply for the vacant officer role in the department. Who will they choose among an eclectic group that somehow even includes a kindred only recently-embraced by the Pyramid 2.0.    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Having followed Val’s journey from childhood to New Haven, we return now to the town in the present day. The coterie has just successfully overthrown Toasta Rosa and elevated a new prince, the ghoul Matthew Theobald. Evangeline left with Theobald’s permission, and Everett and Val were left to navigate the new political situation, and the fallout from the recent violence. On top of everything else, how will they handle the sudden appearance of their parents in New Haven?    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Val managed to find a motel to sleep away the day in, and told Will what she could about the danger of sunlight before passing out. Will woke up early and, unable to wake Val, he ate too much candy, made himself sick, and flooded the bathroom trying to clean up his mess. Val awoke to a flooded room and a very angry motel owner, who accepted Val’s bribe but called the police anyway. Can Val outrun a police force that now believes she has kidnapped Will and is responsible for the Wulfpack’s massacre?   Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Val eliminated the leader of the Wulfpack and quickly found the money and hard drive she had been sent to retrieve, but as she set about clearing the estate of all evidence of kindred presence, she heard a small voice belonging to a five-year-old boy named Will. With both of his parents deceased, Val decided she could not leave him to a fate of mind-wiping or worse, so they packed up some toys, set the house on fire, and drove away. What can Val possibly do next, now that she has a child in tow?   Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic), and Pam Sparrow.   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

Incredibly, Juniper Lux was very pleased with the performance Val had arranged, and Val was awarded the mission to hunt down the Wulf Pack. She made her way down the west coast to Bayfield, California, her targets’ last known location, and her investigation put her on the trail of two missing tour buses. When she arrived at the Hall Family Winery, she found the Gangrel and began to stalk them one by one.

By the year 2000, five years had passed for Val with Brooke by her side. A Gangrel group has gone rogue, and Sheriff Cross summoned Val to the Blue Rose Hotel amidst an Elysium soirée, to convince two judges to award her the assignment of hunting them down. She easily swayed the first judge, but the second, Juniper Lux, demanded that Val first find a uniquely talented mortal willing to become a Toreador.

Five years have passed since Val was welcomed into the Camarilla, and she has learned much from Sheriff Cross, not only becoming familiar with the politics of the Camarilla, but honing her many criminal skills. In her most recent assignment, Val was introduced to Brooke, a mortal human, and worked with her on a crucial bank heist for the princess. After the success of the heist, in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline, Val and Brooke kissed.

Val awoke in the hospital, recovering from the ordeal with her former coterie. Sheriff Cross explained that Val would have to seek the approval of Princess Cleopatra and she must pretend that she had only recently been embraced, but Val was also warned by another kindred to not lie to the Princess. An uncomfortable meeting ensued, and Val simply stated how she could use her skills to serve the Camarilla. Only after Cross vouched for Val and accepted a punishment of his own, was Val allowed to live.    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

With their plan to kill the Anarchs in tatters, Val could not break free of Amy’s control, even as her former coterie stabbed Cross with silver daggers. Fortuitously, Cross had planned for the worst, and officers Marcus Safe and Elizabeth Maddox barged in with silver bullets and brought Amy down. Val and Vincent’s beasts faced off in a brutal brawl, but once again Cross came to the rescue. Before Val succumbed to her injuries, Cross fed her his own blood.

With three nights to find Cross before Amy and Vincent do, Val drove to Calgary and booked a room at the Blue Rose Hotel, unaware of its significance. She awoke to find herself confined, was interrogated by Cross, and learned that Amy and Vincent were the two most dangerous Anarchs in Canada. To avoid Camarilla justice, Val would have to kill them and deny any involvement with them, so she and Cross set out to face them. But how can Val be the backup when she can’t even willingly pull the trigger on Amy?    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

As Val settled in with her coterie, she honed her vampiric abilities, but tensions continued to rise as she grew to dislike her companions’ methods. Nearly five years since her embrace, Amy and Vincent questioned Val about her sire, and though she resisted sharing his identity, Val eventually unintentionally revealed him to be Sheriff Cross. Val tried to dissuade them from confronting him, but they left anyway, promising to kill Cross on Val’s behalf.

Val was welcomed into her first coterie. Neither Camarilla nor Sabbat, Vincent and Amy showed Val a world with no rules, and the freedom to hurt humans with no regard to morals or consequences. As Val learned important skills, like using the blood within her to produce the blush of life or surging past normal physical limitations, her humanity consequently receded. How much longer will Val remain with this sadistic coterie, and what will become of her humanity along the way?    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!

With an RCMP officer approaching her vehicle, Val had no interest in being caught and sped away. She drove into the woods and took off on foot into the Manitoba wilderness as Officer Safe called for backup and pursued her. Val fled to a nearby farmhouse, where she was ambushed by two more officers. Desperate, she killed them both and attempted to leave in their car, but was blocked by two vampires who invited her to come with them instead.

Within a few hours of becoming a vampire, Val felt the beast inside her surge forth for the first time and she easily dispatched the criminals at the gas station. She set fire to the building, took off, and spent the next year travelling across Canada, killing almost anyone when she needed to feed. She had evaded capture so far, but her luck may have run out, as she was pulled over on a rural road in Manitoba by the RCMP.

Val Miller awoke to her new unlife, having been saved from death, but also turned into a monster by one of the few people she trusted, Rufus Cross. They set fire to the arena and the bodies of their friends, and Cross quickly explained current kindred politics. Val grappled with the crumbling foundations of her life and rejected Cross’s offer to stay, deciding instead to take the next five years to find out for herself what it really means to be a vampire.

Val refused Damon’s offer to become a vampire and instead challenged him to single combat while Robin called boss Cross. Jack bled out, Robin tried to buy them time but was killed by a wayward knife, John too was stabbed, and Val was set upon by the other vampires. Before she lost consciousness, her attackers were gunned down in an instant and Val looked up into the face of her saviour, Rufus Cross, before he apologized and sank his fangs into her.

In her first match of the Brawl, Val tried in vain to end it without killing her opponent, but ultimately she took a life for the first time. As she was escorted back to her cage, her combat training kicked in, she wrestled a gun from a guard, and began methodically shooting down the enemies around her. John finally broke out of his cage with Val’s help, but before he could free the others, the fight announcer seized Jack and cut off his arm. Only then did they see his monstrous features and two large fangs.

Val and her friends arrived at the brawl and were led to an arena in the woods, but something felt very wrong when they were locked in cages until their fights were called, and as they watched the first fight, they immediately realized that the Brawl For It All was a fight to the death. Robin bargained with the organizer to fight Jack’s fights as a well as his own, and Val was called to face her first opponent. Not wanting to take a life, she tried to fake it, but the announcer called her out and declared she had no choice but to finish it.

With Rufus Cross away for the next year, Val and her friends managed without him until the gym’s safe was robbed and their entire safety net was erased. With no record of any insurance, and law enforcement unable to offer any real assistance, they had to replenish their money and quickly. Jack reminded them about the brawl that Cross had forbidden them from even mentioning, and when they discovered there was a $100,000 prize to be won, they ultimately decided it was their best chance at saving the gym.

Continuing our exploration of Val’s past, under Rufus Cross’s guidance, she got into wrestling as a heel called “The Demon” and found she enjoyed fighting without her life on the line. She grew closer to her gym friends as Robin trained for stuntwork and John got bigger without taking steroids, and life became more stable until Cross informed them that his government job would take him away from them for the next year.

Over the next two years, Valerie learned how to box and, although she lost all of her fights, she steadily improved. She also began to connect with her training partners, Robin, John, and Jack, but when she grew afraid that it was all getting too good to be true, Cross had a heart-to-heart with her. He encouraged her to commit to her friendships and Valerie received some assurance that if she wasn’t looking for demons, she’d be alright. But as Valerie gets stronger and trains harder, will the demons find her?    Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt), Del Borovic (@deltastic) and Guy Bradford (@GuyBradford).   Enjoying Canada By Night? - Consider supporting the show for as little as $1 a month to get BTS fun, an ad-free feed, and even add your own character to the podcast!
