•• Haven of Flesh
At this level, the lines between ghoul and goddess are so blurred that one can flow into another. By taking her worshipper into her arms, the Sanam can dissolve into his very body, dwelling invisibly within him until she chooses to emerge.
Effect
The overlap of Idol and servant has a powerful effect on each. The Sanam can only slumber within her ghoul (though there are rumors of Auspex Devotions that let her perceive and remain awake). The Sanam may choose to wake up at nightfall, or if the thrall becomes afraid or any time the thrall takes damage. Any damage done to the thrall while the Sanam is ensconced is done to the Sanam as well, though bullets still only do bashing damage to her. If the thrall dies, she is automatically ejected from his corpse, coalescing like oil from his skin. No matter how or why she emerges, she has the option of automatically taking asmuch of her thrall’s remaining Vitae as she chooses.
The ghoul, while holding his Idol, enjoys a calm bliss of satiation — like a mild version of the euphoria of the Kiss, but extended on and on. All his dice pools suffer a –2 penalty due to this lassitude, but he can still walk, talk, reason, get on the plane to Fresno — even fight if he must. He may not draw on any of his mistress’ Vitae, however, save that which he had before she merged with him. If he does use up all the Vitae in his system, he feels no craving for it. After all, he has its source slumbering within — she can’t go far.
It is clear to Aura Sight that something is strange about the conjoined entities, though unless the viewer has seen this unique overlapping of auras before he’s unlikely to recognize what they mean. Other than that, there’s little way to recognize the phenomenon. The ghoul carrier gains no weight, provokes no Taint and doesn’t even spook animals.
