Quick Reference:

Frenzy Rules

Frenzy: on 4+ succ of any rage roll. Spend a willpower to stop it. Will not attack pack unless rage exceeds gnosis. If opposite, spend willpower to select targets

Wyrm Frenzy: on 6+ succ, unavoidable. Willpower diff 7 after kill to avoid eating body.

Rage Rules

You can refresh your Rage once every day in-game, if you have a night scene, in addition to the other methods mentioned in the book.

I'm not going to be charting the moon phases for this, so instead just let me know if you have the opportunity to regain rage in this manner.

I will then roll a 1d5. A 1 is a new moon, a 2 is a crescent moon, a 3 is a half moon, a 4 is a gibbous moon, and a 5 is a full moon.

You will gain these many rage points on each roll:

1 = 1 rage

2= 2 rage

3, 4= 3 rage

5 = 4 rage.

Additionally, if the rolled moon matches your Auspice, you gain additional rage points equal to your rage rating. Rage points can exceed rage rating, up to 10.

As a side note, please remember that if your rage points exceed your willpower rating, you take the difference as a penalty on social checks with non-preternatural creatures (aka, humans and regular animals).

A person whose rage points exceed his willpower rating is generally irritable, prone to losing his temper, etc. I won't force you to roleplay that, just something to keep in mind.

M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 9:11 PM (Danny Greedy):

Surprised by the hug Danny initially resists but then shrinks down to Glabro to return the expression, ”Nothing to thank me for, if I lost you I don’t know… anyway. I am glad you are safe. I’ll need to report this incursion into the Bawn. I hope it was a coincidence but I cannot be sure”. He awkwardly steps away, ”Let’s get back and get you some rest”.

Once Danny and Chloe return to the Sept, Danny will report to the Warder of the Bawn and report the incursion of the spirit. What it smelled like, what it looked like, and its tactics. ”I refrained from drawing Gnosis from the spirit as I did not want to taint myself. Any idea what it was and who else, if anyone we should consult regarding this?”

He will then seek out both Jason Rafferty and Deepcreek to aid in interpreting his vision from earlier in the day.

To ascertain from what spirit he can learn Sense Wyrm – Int+Occult 2d10 + 2d10 ⇒ (2, 4) + (9, 3) = 18.

Can I assume that I regain Gnosis and Willpower over the two days rest or is there some specific task I should seek out before I regain on those ends?

Should I interact I/C with Finn or do you want to just move us all together?

Reenadinna Wood, Killarney National Park, Munster: June 16th, 2017 8:45 PM (Danny Greedy):

Danny knows that any Gaian spirit can teach the ability to sense the taint of the Wyrm. You can regain gnosis and willpower as well. I am going to try to get everyone together in my next post.

Chloe is safely returned to Deepcreek, the retired Master of Rites for the sept. He seems concerned about the incursion of a hostile manifest spirit, but thanks you for driving it off.

"Sounds like a faerie spirit to me, probably a violent one," he says, his wrinkled face forming a frown. "I'll bring this to the attention of the Chieftain."

The next morning, you manage to track down Jason Rafferty, the sept's highest ranking Child of Gaia.

"That's very strange," he says, regarding your vision, as he sits at his cottage near Dunlow, where he has invited you to take some morning tea. "If I had to hazard a guess, your description of a quiet world sounds a little like the influence of the weaver to me."

He pours you some tea and offers some breakfast scones, but otherwise doesn't have much to say about the vision, only that you should keep and eye out for Weaver spirits where they shouldn't be.

The two days pass quickly, and you are asked to patrol the bawn to keep out any more spirits to the best of your ability. Nothing untoward happens,
and soon the night of the Ardfheis a gathering of almost all the Garou in Ireland, is upon you.

Glenfest/Brown Island, County Cork, Munster: June 17th, 2017 10:00 AM (Finn McCaskill):

With some difficulty, you manage to center yourself and contact the spirit inside the ring, slipping it onto your finger. You feel that the being inside is a fae- a shadowy one, but who knows many hidden secrets. Even after attuning yourself, the being inside is still somewhat obscured from you.

Somehow, this fae is still bound by someone, perhaps your uncle, and whomever it is may be able to communicate with you.

After a second, you feel a sharp prick, and looking at your finger, you see a small trickle of blood dripping from underneath the bad. You become immediately aware that, now that you've put it on, there's no taking it off without severing the finer- and even that may not do it.

For now, Finn understands the following powers of the ring: It contains a reserve pool of 1 Gnosis point which refreshes every night at midnight. You can draw on that instead of your own Gnosis. It also reduces the difficulty of rolls to resist frenzy by 1. Whoever mad the fetish can use it to establish two-way communications with you.

Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher):

Though he has just begun his education as a Garou, Pádraic has heard from the elder Theurges of the sept that there are more than Garou shapechangers in this world.

As Pádraic looks down at the severely injured Brick Arm, he sees that man's wounds are not closing, and puts two and two together, realizing that the huge furry creature that tackled the more experienced Glass Walker must have been one of the other "changing breeds."

Unless Bill is healed by some miracle, he will not be able to walk out of building, and shifting back to human form may even kill him.


Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher)

Breathing heavily, Mairead looks at Padraic, before letting out a guttural, angry snarl. "I'm off tae bash that thing's haed in.", she says, angrily pacing around Bill for a moment, and staring at the door. I'll tear it apart! "Can ye... do something for him, aye? Please?", she adds, as she breaks into a run, then drops to all fours as a bear-sized rusty-red maned wolf starts running after the bloodstains. As the colours in the warehouse dull, the metallic smell-taste of the blood in front of her intensify, as the wolf breaks into a mad sprint, the smell of the beast in her nostrils.

Rolls:

Stam+Primal-Urge, Hispo: 6d10 ⇒ (3, 10, 2, 3, 9, 10) = 37
Regeneration: 6d10 ⇒ (6, 1, 10, 9, 2, 8) = 36
Per+Survival: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 2) = 12 Wow, nice rolls today.
Mairy should be able to cover quite a large distance in a single turn in Hispo form. I am also aware of what I'm doing is by far not the smartest decision, but it does feel like something she'd do!


Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher)

"That was... There's other things that change shapes in this world of ours. Looks like one of them did for Brick Arm here. He's not healing as he should. Might be he doesn't make it," Pádraic said, feeling sick.

Does Pádraic know someone in the sept he could get in contact with that might be able to help?


Male Human (Silver Fang) Ragabash

23 Charles Street, Mayfair, London: June 16th, 2017 8:45 PM - and beyond! (Konstantin Volkov):

Konstantin wakes up, shaking and sweat-covered, and stifles a scream as usual - at least, he hopes he didn't scream. It's always so damn hard to tell when he finally wakes up - unless, of course, his throat is dry and raw. Then he knows for certain he was screaming. Sometimes he wakes up and has to wash the imaginary blood from his hands for several minutes frantically. It can be terrible.

Suddenly, memory hits him like a hammer. He has a trip to make, and it's importance slams in to his gut. He grimaces and stands up, immediately opening a window and lighting up a cigarette. He takes a long, deep drag on it. He holds it in for as long as he can and then slowly blows it out. He coughs a little but feels the nicotine began to seep in and take the edge off. His other hand plays with the lighter, flipping it open, flipping it closed, flipping it open and lighting it, flipping it closed.

He finishes the cigarette and showers before getting dressed and gathering his luggage. Then he heads out.

He doesn't dare sleep on the trip to Ireland. What if he were to fall asleep and start screaming - or worse, talking in his sleep? It could be a breach of the Veil. So he does games in his mind and turns over the problem he is about to confront. He looks forwards to seeing Jerome, at least.

When he arrives, he buys a pack of cigarettes and immediately lights one up to calm down. He is about to not only be immersed back in to Garou Society - and while he hasn't been hiding from it, he hasn't been exactly in the thick of it for a long time - and not only he is also going to be on a hunt for truth while being intensely scrutinized, but he's also going to be representing his Tribe, even more so than usual. He clenches his fists, closes his eyes, and counts backwards from twenty to still the shaking, both physically and internally.

Then he heads to the meeting.


Homid Fianna Theurge

Interesting. Finn thinks, as he examines the ring with his one good eye. Nothing about control...yet. I assume that will come at the worst of times. Just my luck. He leans back against the tree and sighs, waiting to be told something to do.


Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov):

The day of the Grand Concolation has arrived. The Garou of Munster have discreetly booked many of the rooms in the Holiday Inn hotel to house low-ranking Garou visiting from other Septs.

Finn McCaskill and Danny Greedy have been tasked with monitoring the hotel, but for very different reasons.

Danny is to act as muscle in case the hotel should come under assault, an unlikely, though unfortunate, event.

Finn is there to ensure that his uncle, or any of his fae minions, do not interfere with the guests in ways that an Ahroun cannot deal with.

Konstantin arrived the night before with his friend Jerome, but now that the sun has risen, so have most of the Garou at the hotel.

There is still quite a lot of time before the Ardfheis begins, with the opening rituals beginning around dusk, leaving the foreign Garou free to roam around the hotel or Killarney proper.

Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher):

As Pádraic tries to explain to Mairead the nature of their foe, the hot-headed woman is already out the door.

With his half-sister gone, leaving him alone with the extremely injured Glass Walker, Pádraic immediately thinks of calling someone for help. He has a couple of options- the most immediate is to call Philander "Valor Song" McDonough, the Fianna elder for the sept. There's also the Forlorn, the only other Fianna Theurge in the sept. Finally, he knows there are two packs charged with keeping the sept safe, and whose number is given out to most sept members. The City Defenders, and all-Get pack, and the Gall Ghaeil Realty Special Operations Division -of which Brick Arm is a member-. Who picks up the phone changes depending on who is on call.

Mairead dashes out the door, easily following the trail of blood. The... thing, whatever it was, has made no attempt to conceal its escape. The trail ends abrubtly at the small dock just around the front side of the warehouse. It seems the creature has either jumped into the water, or gotten away on a boat.


M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov):

As Danny stalks the halls trying to ascertain whether he should be out front or within, he sniffs at and recognizes the scent of Finn.

He growls, "McCaskill, how're things?"

Danny is in his human form and is still fairly tall, 6'1" or 1.85 Meters. He has long dark hair, his eyes are covered by shades and looks a bit unkempt. Most people give him a pass though on his appearance as it is clear by his walking stick, Danny is Blind you assume it is due to his unfortunate whelping as a Metis. There are also rumors you have no doubt heard that Danny is a seer of sorts, strange for an Ahroun to be sure!


Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher):

Pádraic settled on Brick Arm's pack and reached for his phone. Then he reached again. Bloody thing has to be here somew- Ah! The thing had some blood on it, but wasn't all shot up at least. Maybe nicked a might.

"Right then...his people or mine," Pádraic said to himself, looking anxiously at Brick Arm. "Seeing as I've got just mine in the phone, like..." He called the Forlorn.

Best not go to voice mail.


Homid Fianna Theurge

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov):

Hrm? Finn says, as he turns his focus to Danny. Oh, hello, Danny. Things are...fine. Quiet.

Finn is a medium height, lanky young man. His shock of orange-red hair is unkempt and tends to stick up in odd areas. His left eye is milky white and his right is an ice blue.


M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov)

Danny nods and fiddles with his walking cane he leans in to where he thinks Finn's ear is and whispers into his eye, "Good, good. Deepcreek tell you what happened to me and Chloe a few days back?"


Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher)

Letting out a guttural growl, the wolf paces a couple of steps around the water, before sprinting back inside. As she trots into the warehouse, Mairead slowly assumes her Homid form, taking place next to Padraic and Brick Arm. Her face is a mask of fury, and her fists clenched. "It ran away...", she spits out through her teeth, leaning over. "Hold on, Brick Arm!", she says, grabbing the man's hand in her own. It's all gone to shite..., she thinks, nodding at Padraic who appears to be waiting on the phone for someone. Sitting on the concrete, she throws a look at the carnage, her face slowly turning white. This is mental like...


Homid Fianna Theurge

Finn frowns and flinches away slightly, No...I hadn't heard.


M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov)

Finn sees Danny start to get hot, "Well that's a load of bullocks then. How're you supposed to do yer job if'n no one telled you what the hell jes happened?

When Chloe was coaxing a tree spirit I was wit her. Then suddenly somethin' didnae smell right, a coppery smell like blood wafted ta my nose, which thankfully actually works. Then the sound o' gigglin' not childlike but wit' adult malice laced behind it pricked my ears. That's when I attacked the damn thing. Luckily I was able to beat it down and banish it but who knows what it'd done to Chloe if I didn't. Deepcrekk said he thought it were a faerie spirit an a violent one at that!"


Operation Hard Lemonade, Cork City, Viking Holdings: June 16th, 2017 9:45 PM (Mairead Kavanagh, Pádraic Meagher)

"Calling help," Pádraic told his sister, trying to keep the nervousness out of his voice. There'd be time for the feelings later. Now, Brick Arm needed him to focus.


Homid Fianna Theurge

Finn tilts his head and looks Danny up and down with his one good eye, A coppery smell? Blood. Interesting. The young man sniffs the air as a memory comes to him. Very interesting. I think my Uncle might have had something to do with that. I also ran into a faerie of that description recently. He fiddles with a ring on his finger. And...I think you came away better off. Chloe okay?


M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov)

"Yer Uncle? Why the hell'd he do somethin' like that?" Danny growls at the thought though he's not sure what else he should ask at the moment.

"Yeah, Chloe, she's great", he replies a bit wistfully.


Male Human (Silver Fang) Ragabash

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov):

Konstantin woke up a bit late for him. He'd overslept due to the travel and taking so long to get to sleep in an unfamiliar place again. He looked a bit on the haggard side, he noticed, as he cleaned himself up. He dressed and headed to find coffee and breakfast, after texting Jerome to let him know where he was going - he didn't go disturb his friend in case he was working on something or already out of his room.

He yawned so widely that his jaws made a small cracking noise almost as he walked down the hallway. As he walked he looked around blearily and muttered to himself, some in English and some in Russian, words mingling haphazardly, "coffee, coffee. where would I be if I were a coffee..."

He hunted around for the dining area or hotel restaurant to order something.


Homid Fianna Theurge

Finn shrugs, I don't know. I've been trying to figure that out myself.


M Shadow's Status | Children of Gaia | Metis | Ahroun | Rage 7 (7 T) Gnosis 6 (6T) Willpower 7 (7T) | Blind

Holiday Inn, Killarney, Munster: June 19th, 2017 9:30 AM (Danny Greedy, Finn McCaskill, Konstantin Volkov)

Danny pauses for a moment, "You bring it to the attention of any of the Elders?"


Homid Fianna Theurge

Finn nods and frowns, I told Finds-through-Fog everything I know. It's a puzzle that, unfortunately, has no answer at the moment.
