With a silent command, the earth itself yawns open to embrace the vampire. She merges with the ground, becoming immune to almost any harm. She can remain there indefinitely, waiting in a cocoon of soil until the time is right for her to emerge. She does not have to find stone or mud, she can just as easily slip into concrete — as long as she has servants willing to feed her while she rests.
Cost: Varies; 0 for soil or earth, otherwise Vitae equal to the Durability of the material.
Requirement: The vampire’s hiding place must be at least the same Size as her.
Dice Pool: None Action: Instant Duration: Indefinite
The vampire sinks bodily into the earth, for as long as she desires. Once interred, she’s mostly insensible to the outside world, though she can remain conscious if she so wishes. She has a sense of the ground above her — she’s well aware if someone tries to concrete over her hiding place. Her Kindred senses continue to function, and she remains capable of sensing the predatory aura even though her safe haven means another vampire’s predatory aura can’t force her into a fight-or-flight reaction. Should someone spill blood or Vitae upon the ground, she can absorb it. The ground dilutes Vitae enough that it can’t result in a blood bond, but to a Vitae-addicted vampire just the taste might be enough to drive her out of the ground, thirsty for more.
The only way to harm the vampire is to damage or destroy the ground she resides in; she takes one point of bashing damage for each point of Structure that her haven loses. When she takes her first point of lethal damage she emerges from the ground, unable to hold herself in.
