If any of the ancients could hold it together and act with a reasonable mind when they awaken it would probably be caine. His aura if you ever look at it and his guidance toward the endings seem to indicate a vamp pulling the strings. What was sensed could have been him. Elder vampires were also known for being able to hide there power from the eyes of others. A person who could read auras might see what an elder wants them to so he could indeed remain hidden and enigmatic.

I do find it somewhat hard to believe that it was just a simple bomb in the box. Its elaborate story is leading up to the final nights where the antedeluvians awaken. I know its a game but with the way VTM stories go it seems odd if not improbable that theres not more behind the scenes at the end. Yes the Anarchs wanted there terf back. Yes that might be a way to get it by offing the prince knowing full well that while normally he would never dirty his own hands in a possible confrontation that he would choose to open the box himself to greet the ante in the hopes it would take his side in gratitude for waking it up.

But there was something sensed in the city a power that the elders noticed. It also seemed that the character you play as seemed to have the chosen one sydrome where he was destined for something.

I suppose the last point of reason. Your a vampire. If your one with auspex and could forsee danger. If the box did not contain a supernatural being that sent an explosive rage of flames at you. Why didn't you know? If it was a mere trap, a bomb surely you could have seen it coming. Jack wouldnt have made an assasination attempt at the prince that could be so easily foiled. Unless it was somehow supernatural in nature. At least thats my opinion.

So far I see a lot of valid points on both sides of this.
