Im good with 4 PCs aswell.<br/><br/>The PCs being all around is very common ´problem´ in WoD games, where everyone has so much to do themselves, and dont really need help from those that are out to get them. There is snowball change in hell, to get characters (made without red herring) to work together, without outside influence, and with that, it might work for an while.<br/><br/>Elysium gatherings are the worst possible connector, as noone talks anything worthwhile in elysiums (or atleast they should not, in the paranoid world of WoD. Too many listeners and bugs and what nots). Best way is players to find reason to do so. How miniscule or out of the box.<br/><br/>For Ingrid, it only needs to be an nudge from her superiors, her being bloodbonded like every (true) Tremere.
