[Thundercracker]

Well, that's four successes so far. Will roll for Kara

[roll0]

Otherwise waiting on Jeremy's roll from GK. Does anyone want to spend a WP?
Who's putting down Essence and how much?

EDIT: That's three more successes for a total of 7 with Kara's roll

Blaze can put down essence too. With 8 Essence he can spare a bunch, whatever other ppl don't want to include he'll top up to get to what's needed.
Let's see what Jeremy's roll is before deciding on WP.

[GKnightBC]

Okay rolled and I don't think I've ever seen such a roll. Someone wants us to succeed. :D
6 (possibly more) successes on a 4d10 roll.

Huzzah, that was an awesome roll.

[Bennosuke]

Joanna donates 2 Essence and is down to 7. Her WP is down to one.
Jeremy donates 2 Essence and is down to 6.

I asked for 5, so assume Blaze or Bear will donate one between them. I know TC offered but won't force anyone to do anything or make any assumptions.

Lastly, each Loci is based around a focal point in the Flesh. What would this focal point be within the Pack's basement???

Maybe there's a hot water tank somewhere?

Blaze will do the last one. Wasn’t there a pool of water we made in the basement?

[Bennosuke]

Blaze is down to 7 Essence. Yes, the pack did build like a large fish-tank to symbolize the well, which can be used as the Loci, though it doesn't have to be. That said, it is the most logical.

Wits 3 + Larceny 2 + Lockpick speciality 1?

10 again: (6d10)[5][1][2][5][5][6](24)

Well, no luck there.

[Thundercracker]

Blaze, hour 2: (5d10)[5][10][1][10][7](33)

Hour 3 (if necessary): (4d10)[3][2][2][10](17)
10 again: (4d10)[2][10][7][9](28)

[Haval]

Going to spend Wp on that

[Bennosuke]

Joanna is down to 1/5 WP.

Rolling for Kara (4d10)[7][5][5][9](26)

Ooh, just barely made that one.

[Thundercracker]

Is there a werewolf form that gives bonus to tracking?

[Bennosuke]

You would think there would be, but I can't find any rules stating there are. I guess per the Senses section, Uratha have access to both human, wolf and spirit senses in all forms... so I guess there's that.

Blaze will need to make a Wits + Survival + Primal urge -1 roll.

[Haval]

Regular wolf (Urhan?) gives +4 to Perception rolls if that helps

[Bennosuke]

As far as I can tell, it does not.

[Haval]

Ah, my mistake. I suppose it depends what you're using it for.

[Thundercracker]

Are there any other spirits Blaze can think of who might be able to help answer what the Pure are up to, what the effect might be, and how it can be stopped? He has shadowcall so he could try to summon one to ask, assuming we could find a suitable gathra.

[Bennosuke]

@Blaze: One success, so Blaze will find KSH. I would suggest taking a look at the OOC thread's list of spirits. Maybe the near mad spirit Pequad, whom the pack released out to the ocean recently???

Yeah Pequod is next.

Blaze have any bright ideas on a suitable gathra? Supplication ritual or the essence of the anger wolf spirit maybe?

[Bennosuke]

The group actually discussed this at length earlier on in the IC thread (around February of this year... because I have been so slow). They had discussed giving it free food but felt that might not be adequate for a spirit that enjoyed hunting. Want to give me an Int/Manipulation + Occult roll?

Int + occult + speciality spirits: (9d10)[4][2][7][9][3][2][9][10][2](48)
9 again: (9d10)[10][1][10][7][2][4][5][5][5](49)

[Bennosuke]

Well... that's an exceptional success, that is!

So... Blaze understands that King Sky Hunter is (as the name implies) a proud hunter. Like the Uratha, the spirit revels in the act of hunting. Doing something like offering the spirit its own protected hunting ground or something similar, rather than offering it free foot or Essence is likely the key to appeasing KSH. Or alternatively/similarly, doing things in the world of Flesh that will either empower the spirit or increase it's prey; things like helping to increase the number of fishing and hunting shops, or helping to increase the health of the local rabbit and rodent population so that there are more prey spirits to hunt.

What is Kara talking about renting a spirit boat?

Though it would be kind of hilarious if we got Pequod to be our transport. It’s the kind of insane thing Blaze would do..

[Bennosuke]

Kara is just asking how the group intend on traveling out into the water in The Shadow. Yes, riding pequad would be an option and a pretty hilarious one.
