Arnold has prepared the room in the basement of the Sundown Sacramento Hotel that he used in the past for such meetings in similar fashion tonight as other nights. The bare concrete walls are covered in thick, dark-red cloth hangings and there is a large wooden table positioned in the middle of the room. Rather than use the florescent lighting mounted on the ceiling Arnold has brought in a number of lamps which offer a much more muted lighting than the stark white provided by the overhead installations.
Gary Williams, Arnold's ghoul, waits to receive the clan members and escort them to the meeting room.
