Mazikeen's comfortable and moveable leather outfit is custom designed for her and worn over her Senate given uniform (that she also adjusted to her liking.) It provides dozens of pockets within and outside of it for multiple small vials of her mixtures, some of which can be used as bombs when thrown. She has no holsters for weapons and, apart from her mixtures, will be relying on her and Virgil's magic for offense.

SANGUIS MASSA SACRIFICES

In order of completion.

Reward: Familiars that succeed will never weaken no matter how far they are from the witch, fey, or druid that holds their contract. Recieved: Plot Drop, Sanguis Massa

Heresy

Mazikeen figured she'd like someone to help her out that night, someone easily used. This one took a while and it was frustrating at first but worth it in the end. She found someone that was emanating hopelessness in their emotions and made sure to chat them up to find out a little about their faith and their problems. Eventually, she told them that God could not help them. If they wanted to get out of their financial difficulties they needed to turn their faith and love to Satan. It was a matter of subtle shows of her power and a very convincing story about how Satan saved her. She showed him her wealth and "confided" in him about the deal she had made with the devil. To her luck, he eventually found everything she said to be convincing, desirable and worth the sacrifice of his soul in "40 years." She led him to a room alone and made him take part in a fake ritual. As her eyes turned black, Maz spoke in a demonic voice as though possessed and pretended as though Satan was speaking through her. She, as Satan, told him to obey his loyal servant for one night and he would have everything he ever desired. He agreed. He praised Satan and the fake ritual was over. Mazikeen welcomed him to the brotherhood and sent 10 thousand dollars into his bank account to make it all the more convincing that he'd made the right choice. She explained she was on a quest for the Dark Lord that night and he could be of great assistance. (Eventually, this man would meet his death after the Violence sacrifice.)

Fraud

Mazikeen spent some time looking for a very rich business man, even recruiting her Heresy victim to look for one too. Eventually, she found out and managed to get some time alone with a bit of seduction and flirtation, asking him about his money ventures and acting incredibly curious. Eventually, she got him explaining how he made his investments and acted interested in joining him in his ventures. She proposed giving him a certain amount of money to invest for her, knowing full well that he would take the money for himself. It didn't take him long to get interested in her proposition and she sent him 6 thousand dollars. As soon as she did, she asked him some pointed question to get a sense of whether or not he had the intention of running off with the money. When she suspected that he did and read through his emotions, she finally killed him.

Gluttony

Mazikeen found one of her best drug customers who frequents the locale and talks him up before spiking his drink. It’s a poison she created in her life as a witch which she perfected over the years. With every minute that passed, the man would get more and more famished until he was so nonsensical with hunger that Mazikeen tied him up. She decided to wait until the poison was as it’s worst and let him dine on some dead victims throughout the night. (He is killed near the end after the Lust sacrifice.) During the moments that she needs him to not be visible as she manipulate another, she has her Heresy victim take care of him in a room.

Greed 

Enticed a human man with a little game after chatting him up and learning about his family. She let him win more and more money each time he did something a little more difficult for her: from making her a specific drink to stealing something from someone in the establishment. Finally, she asked him if he wanted to double the money he won, never play with her again and send all the money back it to his family in his home country, all whom were in danger of losing their home. Or he could keep what he won and have the opportunity to play with her again next year. He chose the latter. She knocked him out and called his wife over to the bar. (He meets his death during the Wrath sacrifice.)

Wrath

The man’s wife came and saw her husband all tied up and Mazikeen taunted her, making her try to do humiliating things to get her to let him go. Finally, she told the woman she changed her mind and killed her husband in front of her and then told her that her kids were next. The human woman was full of rage by now and tried to kill her. Eventually, she would have with a nicely placed stab with a knife if the demon didn’t have regenerative healing. Mazikeen killed her right after with the same knife. 

Lust

Mazikeen finds an engaged woman and quickly befriends her. She convinces her to invite a work friend who is married but has been trying to seduce her, lying and saying that Mazikeen will convince him to stop. Instead, she gets them both drunk, drugged and seduces them. They get into it and start making out as Mazikeen finds someone else. Now it’s four people getting very heated with lust. Two more see what’s going on and join in. She has her pick of who to kill once the orgy begins and the watches on from the sidelines, eventually choosing to kill the married man by having her Gluttony victim eat him. She then also finally killed her Gluttony victim.

Treachery

She found a couple, clearly one of the more violent-inclined and criminal of humans. At first Mazikeen simply enjoyed just destroying a room with them and engaging in a bit of carnal desires. But when that was done, she locked them in the very same room and decided to show her true form. She trapped the two and hurt them immensely before offering them a deal. The one that manages to kill the other one will survive and leave unscathed. At first, both refuse to kill the other but it didn't take long for the woman to eventually make the move to kill her boyfriend and succeeding. Mazikeen then sent her to hell with him.

Violence

Finally, Mazikeen was eager to complete her sacrifices. She calls on her Heresy victim who, during all this time, had managed to convince three more people about the glory of Satan... or rather, two. Mazikeen could sense that the sister of one of the three did not truly believe in what was happening and just wanted to stay close to her brother to keep him safe and hopefully convince him away. Mazikeen zeroed in on the sister as she invited the three new recruits and her Heresy victim into a room where they would all conduct a grand final ritual for the night. They all go out into the streets and start looting and stealing. Even the sister eventually begins to enjoy herself and Mazikeen waits until it looks like she's completely invested in the destruction they're all going through. At the end the 5 return to Flirt and decide to burn the items they stole with drops of blood for Satan. 3 do, but the sister doesn't want to. Mazikeen says that she hoped she would say that and murders her, as well as all the other ones there. 3 victims for heresy and 1 for violence.

...

Mazikeen was in the process of poisoning an extra victim for another Gluttony sacrifice and a bit of fun when she is forced to the Midsommer Night Masquerade.
