      Important sidenotes: I remember someone answering a question of Crazy-Heart's with the perfect answer. I think it may have been Conall. If anyone can remember what the question was, please remind me so I can award appropriate wisdom to him. Sorry, can't keep track of everything.

Additionally, next game is going to be shorter, due to Mac not being out of town, and J.P. getting back late. With that said, it will be player driven. Your characters are long over-due for a Rite of Accomplishment. Remember-You must prove, through roleplaying, to the Garou performing the rite as well as the Garou (and spirits witnessing from the Umbra) that you are worth of being recognized for your deeds by announcing to others what you have done. This is not as much as "telling as story", as it is about listing bullet points on what you've done. Refer to the list above as a reminder about your packs exploits, but more importantly, your own exploits. This is a good chance to earn roleplaying XP.

Going to be a short game, so not cooking or ordering a bunch of food. Will have basic sandwhich supplies and soda.

An unprecedented act of violence.

40+ killed at Crystal Lodge In Most Violent

Murder Scene in Colorado's History
By:Brent Briggerman


While the official death toll by the police is 42, the Colorado Coroner's office has partnered with F.B.I. investigators and advises that it may rise as body parts are still being identified. Colorado Police responded to a frantic  call from Colorado Parks & Recreation Ofc.Duncan, who discovered the scene while on patrol in the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, reporting an unestimatable amount of casualties. Police and emergency 
responders arrived on scene and were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer violence of the scene. One unnamed source that is a senior medical professional had this to say, "I don't really have words for it. There were...bodies and pieces of body everywhere. It looked like a horror movie scene. I immediately vomited. I just...I don't know anymore. Colorado Springs Police Chief Carey advised, "As of this time, we are operating under the belief that this horrific act of violence was committed by the same figure believed to be involved in the murder of Horace and Belinda Ogden. There is evidence to show that a human perpetrator forced his way into the building, and unleashed 6-12 highly trained attack wolves or wolf-hybrids. We urge the community, that if they see anything suspicious, do not hesitate for even a moment to contact us." Carey also went on to comment that he is assisting fully with the F.B.I. and allocating a large amount of emergency funds to pay for police overtime in assisting with the search and patrol of the Crystal Ridge area, as well as meeting with community leaders to form a committee on the matter, but no further details were released.

The Galliard's Tail

Gather 'round, Garou,  young and old. This Fianna has a song that must be told. Sit in an awestruck wonder and hear, how the Sons of The Apocalypse defeated fear.










Sunday, July 6, 2014

Long walks, long talks.


Trodding through the nearly-melted snow, five motley wolves move with fierce determination. As they travel, a desire to return "home" burns in their heart. The Hidden Glade is a warm reprieve from the fetid stench and openly hostile city. A question sits heavily on their minds, as they grow more and more into their roles as true Garou, which totem will they seek patronage from?
