Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:05:41 PM)
Now, what sort of fetish are you trying to make and what are your material components/ perspective object?

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:06:06 PM)
Blurf. Let me pull up that page again...

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:06:44 PM)
Unbroken Cord fetish, from CoG p 80.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:07:38 PM)
Material component chosen was the unicorn's hair she collected from that scene into the glade.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:08:30 PM)
Ghostlin gave the green light?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:08:46 PM)
How does this fall into line with the details of your rank challenge?

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:10:13 PM)
Let's see. The rank challenge was, specifically: "Learn the Rite of the Fetish, create one of at least middling power (rank 3+), give it to a deserving Garou not of your pack, and don't tell anyone why you're doing this until it's done."

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:10:41 PM)
So... pretty well? :D

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:11:31 PM)
OK that makes sense. Did you do crafting rolls for the cord?

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:12:30 PM)
No. It's already a quantity of fiber/hairs, falling into line with what the fetish's component should be. I -could- roll up a crafting to see if Leaf can braid it, if you want?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:13:07 PM)
The fetish is described as fibers woven into a belt, cord or braided into other means. That takes a bit of effort even though the raw material is pretty cool.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:13:46 PM)
I was hoping that the rarity and natural state of the item would appropriate for a lupus. Want me to do a Dex+Crafts or something for the setup?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:15:39 PM)
Unless you had a kinfolk or someone make it for you?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:16:28 PM)
I'll be nice and say you need 2suxx on crafting verses the 3/4suxx needed due to the rarity of the material.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:16:32 PM)
As much as Leaf loves her mate and adoptive lady, she'd want to do this herself. And she wouldn't trust her wolfkin to do it, lacking thumbs. :D

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:17:28 PM)
Standard diff?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:17:32 PM)
We'll skip the planning stage, as I think even an experienced Lupus can handle a simple braiding....the roll will be dex+crafts diff 6, as it's standard without modifications.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:18:16 PM)
Boomp. 2 succ's. Silly lupus.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:18:39 PM)
((so what is this a belt, or corded necklace or what?))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:19:24 PM)
The idea, I believe, was a braided belt that strands can be separated out from to make necklaces or bracelets and such for the pack of the owner.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:20:46 PM)
I'm paddlin' upstream as much as you are in trying to figure out unwritten details. :D

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:21:41 PM)
*It took you a fair bit of time (which we'll just backlog) to make the belt but it's descently woven, the attractiveness is that it gleams like moonlight from the unique strands. In sunlight it seems to catch the light and gleam almost like metal or silver, at night it catches any ambient light and seems to have a soft shimmer. *

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:22:27 PM)
*You now have the object....it now needs to be cleansed and attuned to the four elements, how did you go about doing this?*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:26:20 PM)
Leafwatcher's idea of cleansing something made from a Unicorn is fairly simple. It's already pure and earthy. Fire + Hair = stupid. A gentle washing with pure water is in order, followed by hanging the damp belt from a tree branch on the bawn to dry. It's a risky proposition in this climate, but watching it sway in the breeze is relaxing.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:26:54 PM)
(fire could be acomplished by smoke from say insense for example))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:27:57 PM)
[Oh, I know. But smoke is sooty. Worst case, she could have taken it to the on-sept smokehouse or sweat lodge and stayed with it for a few hours.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:28:23 PM)
(that works)

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:28:50 PM)
((Does Leaf cleanse herself or do any personal preparations?))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:29:36 PM)
[Well, staying with it during the steaming and drying could work. Or a brief personal Cleansing incorporated in. :)]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:29:54 PM)
((OK))

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:32:00 PM)
*The day has arrived. You have cleansed and perpared, the item is elementally attuned as far as your Lupus mind can get around such a concept. The item is in hand, a shimmering white belt of strands, unique enough in your mind. So what do you do?*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:35:06 PM)
This one is easy. It's time for Leafwatcher to go to church. Specifically, the St. Patrick's that was claimed by Evie and the Furies. She has a standing invitation to visit, but she's hopped to the umbral side for this. Where's that flock of dove-spirits she's seen...

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:35:33 PM)
((you don't have the summoning rite?))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:36:39 PM)
[Of course, but that's less respectful than hunting. :D If she needs to, she'll do it close to their home.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:40:26 PM)
*The cathedral is old considering New Orleans is one of the older colonial cities in the USA. It has a firm umbral reflection, even becoming detailed over time. Though the religious dogma and strictures the humans adhere to doesn't make this the wonderous place umbrally one might think of. Dusky weaver webs hang over the building, reinforced by generations of church goers calmly accepting the Catholic form and strictures into there life. Your Lupus self might decide that the Unicorn glade was more holy than this place. It's not like weaver infested like a computer lab, it's just not the penicle of wyld energies in the city either. Yet, it does draw a certain type of spirit. For along with what draws the weaver, there is peace, healing, and an attempt at spiritual well being that has indeed attracted the dove spirits.*

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:44:08 PM)
*The dove flock seems to consist of two types of spirits, there are more individualized dove spirits, that while they move with the flock seem to have an awareness above that of the flock, and then you seem to have weaker reflections almost. As if spirits are illustrating the very concept of what the flock is. It takes some further study to realize the heart of the flock can be drawn to a simple group of three spirits, and the spirits in question sometimes appear as three, only to slowly draw back into one spirit. It's a subtle thing. You'd have to watch for some time to notice....but the strange three-in-one dove might be a different order of spirit in general*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:44:32 PM)
This, fortunately, is something Leafwatcher has come prepared for. A handful of grass and other forest seeds is dumped on the ground, and the Garou sinks to sitting in her homid form, watching and waiting, peaceful as any other creature of Unicorn, despite Boar's urgings to the contrary. She gently spreads the belt across her lap in anticipation.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:45:13 PM)
*the strange three-in-one doves come to feed, and soon the rest of the spirits in and around the flock follow suit*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:46:53 PM)
A few yards away to be less than threatening, the Garou offers a gentle smile, before cocking her head to the right slightly. -ss- "Unicorn's blessings and unity of purpose to you, little sisters."

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:46:56 PM)
*the doves are three, and then they draw back into two, and then one...and then are three again*

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:48:37 PM)
ss Who greets us? *the doves fly back a distance and perch, the flock seems to do the same, an instinctive drive to avoid a potential danger, but curiousity keeps the spirits perched close enough to converse, though some of the more individualized spirits after a few minutes might determine you as not a threat and go back to feeding, but the three in one dove doesn't do that...and the vast majority of the flock remains roosted above lookign down at you*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 9:51:09 PM)
The lupus melts into her natural form, the belt lying across her shoulders as she does so. She's now lying on her belly, chin resting almost-sleepily on her paws. -ss- "Leafwatcher, of Unicorn's children, seeking aid and a pact between our worlds."

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 9:52:25 PM)
ss You see unity? Many do. They call to there Christ here and join together in prayer. But you speak of an older unity than man knows. What pact would you have?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:00:20 PM)
((?))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:00:34 PM)
-ss- "Joining your purpose to that of the nation, as an honored partner." The wolf is smiling as much as a canine can, without jumping into wagging her tail.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:00:41 PM)
[Sorry, family just walked in. :D]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:01:26 PM)
ss What is it you ask?

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:02:44 PM)
-ss- "I offer a Fetish pact." The lupus goes back to speaking simply, her 'prepared lines' done.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:04:46 PM)
ss Who are you to ask me for such? We care for our flock. We encourage even mere humans to see beyond there own selfish desires to the greater whole. We build foundations for strength and peace. You would take us away from that?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:07:18 PM)
*the dove flock flies together ...you see shadow play of humans in prayer, of civic leaders talking in court houses, of children in schools, people working for the greater good, and then the shadow play ends as the flock of seemingly dove spirits perches again. The spirit seems to imply that it's work is too critical to be bound to a fetish*

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:08:07 PM)
-ss- "Packs are one in purpose, not in spirit. I ask your help to heal this." Leafwatcher chuffs, those bright blue eyes upon the spirit. -ss- "And I have told you who I am. A child of Unicorn, mending bodies and souls. Let those of my People here continue your work. You know of whom I speak."

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:08:43 PM)
[Heh. Evie tried to explan Catholicism to Leaf at one point.]

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:09:20 PM)
[The end result was a canine head-tilt and generic expression of 'huh?']

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:11:11 PM)
*the spirit/spirits? just stare at you* (hint: present your object)

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:13:23 PM)
A little dip of the wolf's head rolls the belt from her shoulders to rest across her forepaws, below her neck and chest. -ss- "One of Unicorn's glade-protectors gave of himself for this. Surely you can help us."

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:14:53 PM)
*the flock inspects the object* ss Perhaps so but it seems inexpertly woven. The item is unworthy. How does it serve Gaia's further goals for me to subject my freedom for that? As I said I serve to bring unity to many.

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:18:26 PM)
-ss- "Blessed by the elements of the Mother, made of Unicorn, held by Garou, how is this not of unity? My sisters of Pegasus are healing the flock as you do. Let us continue our work." Leafwatcher continues. The inexpert weaving comment is... delicately ignored.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:19:36 PM)
ss How would this help your work? Could I not help your work by doing what I do freely?

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:21:54 PM)
-ss- "No. Your blessings would let a pack share of each other's strength of spirit and depth of knowledge. Lending focus and trust is valuable, and saves lives." Those wolfish blue eyes remain on the spirit.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:24:33 PM)
ss Such an unworthy and humble vessel for all it's material. Whose hands would wield this Fetish you hope to make? What good would it be in the hands of say the unworthy who strive to use this as a crutch for ineffective leadership? Or worse those who work against unity? Can you assure the hands that wield this perspective fetish are wise?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:25:10 PM)
((there you go the first taboo))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:27:54 PM)
-ss- "Such a concern is easy to appease. A pack leader is proven of the spirits and of the Garou, and replaced if unworthy." Leafwatcher keeps smiling. She's back on track. "A Fetish of this nature need only supply assistance to one such and their chosen followers."

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:29:13 PM)
[Only owned by a pack leader. Yee. :)]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:30:50 PM)
ss So only an Alpha shall wield it? There are still unworthy Alphas....and foolish packs. The first garou you select might be worthy enough. But what of later? How can you assure wise usage through the ages? That is the scope of what you ask me. A potential eternity of service. And what of the purpose of the packs themselves?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:31:36 PM)
ss I demand that I shall never be used against the unity of a sept or the greater garou Nation.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:31:59 PM)
ss Can you make such promises?

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:32:38 PM)
((Yup that means, for example Shadow Lords couldn't use the Fetish in political games or they'd soon find it turning against them etc.))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:33:20 PM)
-ss- "You wish to avoid fracturing unity? Do not share the talents of war, then. Know that a warrior's claws and blades must stand on their own, but their bodies and minds can be bolstered by their allies." Leafwatcher keeps staring, steadily.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:33:23 PM)
((Unless the politics really were for the greater good of the unity of the sept. The spirit might understand ousting a poor leader for a better one, but not something like tribal wars over territory etc.))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:34:40 PM)
[There's Leaf's suggestion. Not able to share the "combat stats" of Brawl, Melee, Archery, or Firearms.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:35:03 PM)
((that'll annoy players but that is a good taboo, heavy one too))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:35:12 PM)
[Hell yeah. :D]

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:35:45 PM)
[But Strength and Stamina and such are still available, which -may- make up for it a bit.]

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:36:15 PM)
[No, wait. Never mind. :P I misread.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:36:51 PM)
((No I like the taboo...considering the damn thing is also made from Unicorn hair it all fits))

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:37:01 PM)
((You've given this alot of thought))

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:37:18 PM)
((you have just lowered Rite of Fetish by 2 diff wise))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:37:19 PM)
[Skills, gifts, abilities, Gnosis, Willpower, and Rage can be shared. Attributes can't. Combat abilities can't.]

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:38:45 PM)
[And only one person can be shared each individual statistic at a time. No "everyone in the pack has the highest statistic of any of them" twinking.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:39:16 PM)
ss That is a most worthy woven belt of Unicorn that is before me. I am honored to serve in such a vessel.

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:39:41 PM)
*The spirit's agreement is sudden, almost unexpected after all the bickering*

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:40:29 PM)
((OK you got the rite diff down to 8, due to taboos, do you want to burn a perm gnosis and lower the diff further?))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:40:56 PM)
-ss- "That's not what you said five minutes ago, feathers." Leafwatcher chuffs playfully, then stretches her neck slightly. "A pact is made and offered. Shall we seal it under Luna's gaze?"

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:41:35 PM)
[Eff no? Not unless I can buy it up immedately with exp. :)]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:43:05 PM)
((diff 8 it is......Leaf it's not a permiant burn off, it could be bought up with XP, but I will say Ghostlin is a bit picky that fetish stuff not get cheesed over. I'd wait a month or two before you requested it if you want to go that route, just so we don't get him wound up.))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:43:49 PM)
[So, Wits + Rituals, diff 8. What's needed?]

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:45:29 PM)
[And your call if a WP can be dumped on it. Making a fetish -is- a critical task for a Theurge.]

Windseeker (Apr 20, 2011 10:46:22 PM)
((thats it, a botch here means the spirit is forced out and that the item, can never serve as a Fetish vessel for ANY spirit afterwards. Rite says that a rejected or even botched item is somehow marked to the spirit world so that afterwards it can never be used as a fetish vessel again if a failure. You may use WP....I figure considering your rank is riding on this it's VERY important to you.))

Leafwatcher (Apr 20, 2011 10:47:32 PM)

*The belt you've been holding up suddenly has the spirit go into it. It appears as if the entire flock of Doves has vanished into the belt with a flash of white-blue light.
