** 1. [[Counterpoint]] might be filled with naive fools, but their hearts are in the right place, aren't they? They see that the old ways of doing things are broken, and that its time for a new regime to take their place. You just need to get them to understand that its the Nouveau Riche who are best poised to bring their 'revolution' to a head. And dear god, get them to tone down these ridiculous 'theses' 2. Whoever killed the Prince did it with Thaumaturgy, and there's no denying it -even if most of the Court has no idea. The other Tremere are hunting for the culprit, which is short-sighted, if understandable. Rather than chasing shadows, it's best to avoid the problem entirely. Convince the Court that someone outside the Clan is responsible before they even realize Thaumaturgy was used. Rumor has it there are a few Caitiff running around, maybe you could pin the whole thing on one of them? They're known for developing powers which look a lot like magic to the uninitiated. 3. [[The Low Table]] is a disgusting thing. Kindred casually selling the use of their Clans' gifts without regard for the sanctity of those treasures. Fortunately, intelligence suggests that the members of that Faction aren't necessarily all on the same team. Maybe you could convince some of them to turn on the others. Murder would be great, but failing that there's always blackmail, or just simply walking away. Anything to weaken their overall position. **
