A few hours later, I found out the Lasombra I had been dealing with had been granted domain over the part of the city where the elder Toreador's haven was.
And when the Lasombra, the elder Toreador, and I sat down to renegotiate, she told him she wouldn't charge him taxes to exist in her domain if he dropped trying to get taxes out of my character.
He was NOT happy about it, but he agreed.
I was trying not to cackle in delight the whole damn time.
