Preparing for Passage

After being recognized for their deeds, the Sons of The Apocalypse are told that they will have 4 days to prepare for their rite of passage. They are encouraged not to use this time to rest or relax, but to ready themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They are reminded that no two rites of passages are ever the same, and that they will be pushed to their very limit. Should they succeed, they will finally be recognized as Cliath, and true Garou. Motivated by this, the young Garou find themselves scrambling to learn new skills, hone existing ones, or find some new gift or rite that might ensure they do not fail their rite of passage.

(In game terms, you have the opportunity to earn up to 6 prep points through on-line roleplaying.

 These points spend like XP, but only last until the time you walk into my apartment for next game. Post under this thread what new trait, gift, or ritual your character is going to learn in the next 4 days, but do so IN CHARACTER.

You have the full cooperation of the sept NPCs who will assist you, as long as it does not go against their core values (No Jordan, your Silver Fang traditionalist mentor will not teach you how to disguise yourself as a Bone Gnawer), and as usual, out of tribe/auspice gifts will not be taught, for it disrespects the tribal totem / Luna respectively. Extend that further, and you still cannot learn tribal gifts with these prep points, because you still do not technically belong to a tribe. Out of breed gifts are unlikely to be taught, since doing so shows disrespect to Gaia. And tribal rites are just as secret as tribal gifts. Otherwise, everything else is up for grabs.

You are allowed to combine these prep points with existing XP, but be sure to include that in your posts.  I am also going to post a cheat cheap of existing Hidden Glade NPCs, which you may wish to include your post, if you are learning something from them.)

      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.
