*glances at the metal* PL How did he get himself to be metal like that?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 2, 2011 11:57:05 PM)
*she keeps walking*

Danny McDougal (Mar 2, 2011 11:57:17 PM)
(pl) dont think about it, that is weaver taint and bad juju

Horus Alexander (Mar 2, 2011 11:57:26 PM)
*PL* i dont know.. didnt think it was possible to meld flesh and machine like that..

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 2, 2011 11:57:44 PM)
PL I'd not have it done to myself, thats kinda disturbing.

The Unfortunates (Mar 2, 2011 11:59:07 PM)
*An psychic thought invades Horus's mind* Could replace those eyes of yours. You wouldn't need to be a freak anymore...could even make them look normal. Replace them with a fetish pair. All you have to do is agree to a challenge with me.

The Unfortunates (Mar 2, 2011 11:59:34 PM)
*A grey Brood is watching Horus as this communication hits him.*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:01:05 AM)
*he answers aloud* i do not find shame in the Eyes i was given, i wear the mark my my breed with honor. Plus, there is no such thing as .. Normal.. there is only what the populace embraces as status quo

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:03:59 AM)
*glances at Horus* It's mind talking to you isn't it? *frowns*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:04:33 AM)
they are.. tempting me to have a fetish pair of eyes.. that look like those of an average person

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:05:03 AM)
*he sdmiles slightly as they walk, and starts to sing softly* if your going through hell, keep on walking, you might get throught it before the devil even knows your there

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:06:27 AM)
I always thought your eyes were a sign from Uktena myself. But we are wierd that way. And the devil has noticed us. I'm seeing a pattern in these offers I don't like.

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:06:49 AM)
*You see a man, clad in a pair of black fatigues, his breeding screaming Fianna...seemingly normally fine in the river, then BOOM!, he's thrown back from explosiors, a chain of explosions that seem to hurt but not kill.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:07:24 AM)
ewww. Moving on.

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:07:29 AM)
and you wonder why I walk the path of peace and non volience

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:07:34 AM)
*He's prostate in the river.* Catholic or Protestant. Does it matter now?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:08:31 AM)
*she keeps walking* We are Gaia's warriors Danny. That Scrag out there wouldn't have left you in peace. The key is knowing when and who to fight.

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:08:34 AM)
*follows.. and wonders why those that follow the same diety must constantly fight over how to worship it*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:10:34 AM)
*Danny gets the next one, from another black brood member, it's a psychic call* We can give you an fetish so powerful it will end arguments before they begin. Or something that will increase your healing muitiple fold. You would never need to struggle, except for this last time, against me.

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:13:16 AM)
what peace is won through war, what healing comes from suffering, I will not fight you sam I am, I will remain firm on the path I walk

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:13:39 AM)
PL.... That sounded...silly.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:14:04 AM)
*she picks up the pace not liking the Brood's increased interest in her packmates*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:14:14 AM)
*In the distance, and the rivers are becoming more like a silver lake...you see an immense...castle...no, that's the wrong word for it, citidel.*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:14:32 AM)
PL* saarah keep the normal pace.. they are nto attacking us.. just tempting us.. our resolve is strong

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:14:51 AM)
*he shrugs and looks at the citidel* someone is over compensating

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:15:02 AM)
*stops on the shore of the lake* Yeah......well I think I found my ....umm sign of where to go. By logic wouldn't a ruler of a realm be in the castle thing?

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:15:31 AM)
with normal logic yes.. but remember sister.. we are in an umbral realm.. with rules of its own

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:16:05 AM)
*Telepathically* You seem concerned. *An albino Brood member.* We will lay off your pack, and give you and guide you what you seek. You know what you have to do.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:16:50 AM)
I decline.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:17:15 AM)
*she begins to explore the lake edge, looking for a bridge, or a boat, or a path to the citidel*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:17:59 AM)
Wait.

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:18:06 AM)
*The path they're on seems to lead up to it, a land bridge of sorts. The scenes of torture, while still ongoing seem less and less as they approach the citidel.*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:18:23 AM)
*Mentally* Yes...

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:18:42 AM)
*she studies the cavern, could they fly safely?*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:18:56 AM)
Not for you guys...I'm talking to my pack. Get out of my head.

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:19:29 AM)
*They could, but you get the idea that walking is the usual way you approach, and you still wouldn't want ot fall into the silver water*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:20:23 AM)
(SCratch that?)

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:20:34 AM)
(..ok))

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:20:39 AM)
*There's acutally a barge, and you're al the landing now.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:21:27 AM)
*she heads towards the barge* PL I think we could fly it but....then again...

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:21:34 AM)
*There is no pilot, and the barge is coming back. There are no more scenes of torture...and you see stunned Garou, homids, metis and lupus, in their birth forms*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:22:17 AM)
The damned....seem better here.

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:22:18 AM)
*Washed up on the citidel shores*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:22:52 AM)
*The barge arrives.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:23:07 AM)
*she shrugs and gets on the barge*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:23:27 AM)
almost feels as if we are walking through Dante's Inferno

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:24:34 AM)
All you need is the Devil giving you a personal tour?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:24:55 AM)
No thanks.

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:25:19 AM)
well.. i guess its the barge..

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:25:45 AM)
(Guys, that was the adult yet sanitized version.)

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:26:14 AM)
( i know.. Ghost.. Horus 1.0 ended up in Erebus for 6 months of Real Time)

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:26:57 AM)
(Then you know that quite frankly, I can do anything for torture. Anything.)

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:26:59 AM)
*shes on the barge now* Come on guys....might as well go to the castle.

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:27:17 AM)
*he steps onto the Barge*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:28:57 AM)
*he steps onto the barge*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:29:21 AM)
*The barge moves as the last person goes on.*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:29:39 AM)
(I know this has been a diceless night, but I'd like Per+Empathy, diff 6 rolls from you.)

((wow epic, we all failed the dr hates us))

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:31:14 AM)
( at least we didnt botch)

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:31:31 AM)
*The unfortunates, while no longer tortured, don't seem to be any different as they walk to the citidel.*

The Unfortunates (Mar 3, 2011 12:31:56 AM)
(This user is now known as Charyss)

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:32:08 AM)
( *jokes* dont pay any attention to the massive guns pointed at us.. )

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:32:37 AM)
*The barge docks, and you find yourself at the gates of a massive citadel*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:32:39 AM)
(afk one secon))

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:33:55 AM)
*she walks foward towards the gates. Are they open?*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:34:48 AM)
*he follows*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:36:02 AM)
*he follows the pack . and looks about*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:36:31 AM)
*They're open*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:36:58 AM)
*she walks through the gates, studying the citadel, but walks onward, the whole trip was interesting, if disturbing*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:37:40 AM)
*The Citadel is filled with gorgeous pieces of art, both Garou and human. The walls ae hung with fetishes, including ones the Nation hasn't seen in years.*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:38:26 AM)
*he walks and takes notes of the place.. looking over al he can see with his snake like eyes*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:38:32 AM)
*he looks around, as he walks taking in the sites and sounds, the local flora, he looks over the fetishes*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:39:19 AM)
*Things like grand klaives, bows, things of legend hang behind the cases. There doesn't seem to be much security here.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:39:37 AM)
Don't touch anything. I need to speak to this Charyss and ....man handling her collection would probably be very very stupid.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:39:59 AM)
Don't want to piss them off.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:40:22 AM)
*Their journey eventually leads them to a large set of doubledoors.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:41:49 AM)
*are they open?*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:42:11 AM)
*They aren't, but a customary push means you can open them easily*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:43:03 AM)
*horus walks up and starts to push the doors open.. being metis.. able to heal faster.. so if there is a trap.. he cant ake it*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:44:26 AM)
*Sarah knocks...and...well Horus pushes the doors open*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:44:40 AM)
*There's a horrible trap, and Horus dies. No, seriously, that's really paranoid. You see a large, respendent throne, and a large, easily 15-17 foot tall figure. Sensing the power coming from her is simple, and she looks like the very picture of a Fury Medusa, coiled around her throne. She looks at you, through you, and the room is silent.*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:46:08 AM)
*opens the doors and lets sarah and Danny move before he follows.. looking about the room and to the massive figure of power and smashing things*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:47:04 AM)
*he looks at the figure of power, and looks at Sarah, taking a look around the room*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:47:05 AM)
*she waits a moment to see if the powerful being will speak*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:48:03 AM)
Welcome to Erebus. *The voice is authoriative, as if used to dealing with Garou and used to being obeyed.* You've reached your journey's end, and without having to make it twice. I am Charyss, the mistress of this Realm. What have you learned here today?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:50:26 AM)
I've learned there is much wisdom in a simple rule I formed as a claith. Never make blind bargains with unknown spirits. In your realm the consequences of losing are to join those who suffer.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:50:57 AM)
Why do you think that is, little Garou?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:52:13 AM)
I can only think you use it as an object lesson to remain steadfast and not give into temptations.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:52:51 AM)
Adqueate. Is there anything else either you or your companions might add before I send you on your way?

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:53:41 AM)
*looks at her two packmates*

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:53:47 AM)
i have learned that temptation, no matter how well placed will lead down the road of ruin, and make us stray from our task set before us by both Gaia and Luna

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:55:49 AM)
*Charyss smiles at Horus as he says that*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 12:56:37 AM)
though the path may be hard, and the journey uncertian it is better to remain steady and continue forward than to take the easy road

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:57:11 AM)
*she nods...slowly the wheels turn* This entire realm is a test, at least for visitors, of if they can remain steadfast to Gaia. Even the Fetishes...another temptation another test.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 12:57:50 AM)
And the people who burn here? What do you think of them?

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 12:58:32 AM)
they are paying a penance for straying from the course that was lain out before them.. they have neglected their duty for one reason or another.. be it with good intent or not

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 12:59:51 AM)
It was hard to watch to be honest. I know many earned it, or others joined them because they gave way to temptation. But my first instinct to suffering is to want to help. Though I did notice the ones in the big lake weren't tortured anymore....*looks puzzled*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:01:30 AM)
Anyone that reaches the lake and washes up here are free of the things that brought them here.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:02:07 AM)
So.....they are cleansed of both taint and ...there sins for lack of a better term?

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:02:51 AM)
Yes.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:03:34 AM)
Judeo-Christian of you, but 'sins' isn't a bad way to describe it.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:03:52 AM)
*eyes go wide* So this entire realm, it's not so much a hell as a....crucable. You burn off the taint and the sins? Flaws? Weaknesses?....and then what?

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:04:48 AM)
They go free. Anywhere. I let them go.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:05:09 AM)
Like.... Old Song Bird.

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:05:26 AM)
You're close to the realms biggest secret. One of the most important secrets. *Says this to Horus and Sarah*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 1:07:08 AM)
to homelands, to the ancestors, to the nation the become spirits or reincated, it is part of the cylce, they get a second chance, or they get to guide others to save them from there fate

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 1:08:22 AM)
one comes to the lake and emerses themselves into the water by their own volition, to make right what they have done wrong in the past.. to make themselves anew to fight against the powers that would taint Gaia in one way or the next

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:08:53 AM)
*Charyss looks bowled over as Horus says that.*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:09:32 AM)
Very few people recongize what this place is for. Fewer still understand it's main secret. *she indicates Horus and Sarah* Come here, little ones.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:09:49 AM)
*nods to Horus* But...not all come of there own violition. Sometimes they need to be lead here. Thats...what I hope to learn.

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 1:10:17 AM)
*he steps forward when Charyss summons him and sara*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:11:10 AM)
*comes forward when summoned*

Danny McDougal (Mar 3, 2011 1:11:31 AM)
*not being summoned he stands still*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:11:40 AM)
*Looks at Horus* You don't have the understanding yet for what I have to teach. *Looks at Sarah* Will you teach him once he's ready?

*A flash and Sarah has what she sought.*

Charyss (Mar 3, 2011 1:14:43 AM)
Farewell, young ones. If we meet again, I hope it is only for a visit like this.

Horus Alexander (Mar 3, 2011 1:15:06 AM)
*horus walks up as he was summoned too*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:15:11 AM)

Thank you.

*Charyss nods, and waves her hand again....and her Citadel fades away. They're on the Silver Road again, headed home.*

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:16:59 AM)
She gave me what I came for. The Rite of the Silverforge. If deamed neccessary I can offer the fallen, or a traitorious garou a chance at Erebus's redemption.

Sarah Swiftfox (Mar 3, 2011 1:17:27 AM)

I have one more part of this......selecting someone and performing the rite. And I have a target. A Spiral named Kuthian.

That Spiral once cared enough in it's own twisted way about it's own cub. It's sick warped, crazy as fuck but it cared. So for having a shread of ....something left, I'd give it a shot at redemption. Also it's the only Spiral whose name I ever learned that isn't dead already.
