*When she moved in, she could see all sorts of objects laying here and there like a cluttered old place. dusty books, and news papers mixed with gaia knew what other papers where cattered across the floor. there was a small fire place with a fire going inside it and the scent of a freshly cooked stew in the hanging pot over the flames by a chain.. like a old fahioned caldron.. laying on the ground insfront of the fire place was a rather large snake whom seemed to be enjoying the warmth of the fire all curled up.. there was a old man only old by garou standards mind you, age of 45 with white hairs intwined in his long black braid

Was it the spear?

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 10:50:38 PM)
I can only think of one thing with lingering effects. I wielded the Devourer spear against the Dweller from the Deep bane, ........as my ancestor had done 400 years ago. It scarred me. It heals, but I know I'm not healed completely. In time I think I can be. It was only half a year ago.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 10:52:09 PM)
*he looked at her curiously.. Then asked* Do you want to know how this works? What it is that touched you and tainted your very spirit in such a fashion, or was there some other wyrm type issue you saught guidence on?

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 10:54:39 PM)
No I know what happened to me...and that it can and will heal with time. I seek deeper knowledge on our enemies. To better fight the Wyrm. To better guide my sept in such endevors. You've gone through much....your incites are valuable. Grandmother Hilma-rhya said you might teach me.

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:03:11 PM)
I figure there other totems are spirits associated with the Hydra heads?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:03:11 PM)
Bale fire might be dangerous, but they are clearly brute force tatics.. They can not be cowards, and there totem takes that seriously.. They are warriors whom will fight till the death and know no retreat. They are easy to provoke and incapable of backing down, reguardless of how under powered they might be in the situaion.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:03:54 PM)
Thus they make pawns for more clever spirals to toss around and test our defences..

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:03:58 PM)
So Green Dragon equals.......no tactical retreats.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:04:27 PM)
*he nods his head to her* indeed they do.. You do know the spirals main goal of cource is not to destroy the gaiens like most belive?

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:07:33 PM)
Well....I figure they want our holy sights, anything to spread corruption a bit further. I also know that they don't always destroy......they also like to corrupt and convert Gaians. Some of there captives sometimes break.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:08:02 PM)
It's not even to ultimately destroy the earth, well eventualy they feel they would have to destroy the earth to bring the balance back.. But there main beef is with the weaver, they got it in there heads that the weaver whom captured the wyrm in its web is the reason for all the pain in the world.. The spirals do not see the madness in themselves or the wyrm as we do.. They see and yes they feel the pains agony as if it where manifested in each one who walked that crooked spiral.. it is like being constnaly restrained in crinos by silver webbed fishing net tightneing its hold on you till the pain is all you feel and all you know and all you can do is end that which is causeing it and they belive that is the weaver and the humans.. there way of spreading the coruption is there way to get the humans to destory the weaver and snap

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:08:18 PM)
the spirtual webs that keep the great spider god powerful

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:10:07 PM)
Of cource we tend to get in there way, protecting humanity, plus we have powerful carens, and if they could get thre hands and corrupt those places of power, and make them into blights then the wyrms power would grow and a bit of the pain they feel might subside..

being gaien we are gifted with her love, we have rituals in which to cleanse and share that love.. though our rite of cleansing we recive pain that bit of pain that slams through your body when you are cleansed? think about living with that pain that sickness for all your days and know then why they act the way they do..

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:12:37 PM)

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:15:14 PM)
The wyrm has a few totems of cunning, you named one whipperpool.. So i am figuring you know about that one.. Lets move onto the next then shall we?

*nods*

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:19:54 PM)
"kirijama" she is known as "the hidden foe" Now i must impart some knoweldge on this to you, and let you know just how dangerous this totem is.. The fact that it is even a totem, is up in the air.. because no one has ever truly seen it, no one knows what form it even takes, those whom have been known to follow it, are sooo cunning that after they do a great deed, they dissapear and few hear from them again. as if they themselves did not exist. I was once at a sort of wyrm moot.. I seen a pack of them

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:21:44 PM)
well did not reall "see" the pack they looked like shadows on the wall and the shadows kept changing there was one voice that spoke for the entire pack but it seemed to be made up of all the voices the shadows changed from human to homid from homid to auspice to lupus.. yes a big aupice shadow would appear which made me think that the one speaking was a galliard but it was soooo difficult to tell..

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:24:42 PM)
These guys are definately not brainless followers of green dragon.. How ever if someone could pull off slipping into a place they knew would have spirals in it.. The only way they would likely not question the fact you look unfarmiliar would be to simply say you are in a pack following that totem and act all mysteirous and cunning.. they would likely not even quesiton it further..

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:24:47 PM)
Such is the way..

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:25:34 PM)
Interesting idea.......not one I ever want to try though. If a Gaian gets captured.....besides obvious things like torture...what do they do to them that so warps a good Gaian garou into one of them?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:27:14 PM)
It is ritual litterly they call it dancing the spiral.. the insiative does not always need to be the most willing subject either.. depending on the method of the ritual.. just like garou rituals spiral rituals can be done in different varioations depending on the person prefornming it.. but i digress..

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:28:21 PM)
when you dance the spiral.. reality seems to shift.. it is allmost like a vision quest of sorts.. you are in the umbra but reality is warped around you.. you don't recall entering the umbra and you never quite know where you are.. however..

Does the rite bring you to the Wyrm's realm?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:33:36 PM)
*He looked at her a moment*i would not say it brings you to the wyrms relm but there is much debate over that. Some say it dfoes, others say it does not. However there is something important about the dance that i feel you might find very interesting

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:34:31 PM)
*just listens intently*

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:36:49 PM)
There are 9 circles of the spiral dance.. unlike a cub whom becomes cliath, needs the renown to then become a fostern.. How ever the spiral dancers do not need the appropriate renown, they can in this ritual continue moving through the spiral dance. each circle they complete gives them another test and fractures there sanity a bit more, but they can essensily if they survive continue on if they make it through 3 circles they just went from cliath to adren in a single night..

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:37:59 PM)
Eek.....so each circle is what? Like staring into the mind of the Wyrm and seeing if you totally crack or not?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:38:09 PM)
Ive never heard of anyone ever making it past the nineth circle myself but there is rumors that those whom do actually become part of the balance and loose any insanity or mental defects they got along the way, they say even there taint is washed from them.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:38:37 PM)
but like i said i never heard of anyone making it that far..

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:39:40 PM)
Wait....if they can make it through these levels of insanity....the rumors are they might actually find the old Balance wyrm somewhere in the middle of all that?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:40:42 PM)
Each level has different conflicts that are personalised for the individual. which is why i find it hard to belive that it takes you to the wyrm relm, it is to personalized for the individual dancing. the first is more about faceing a inner truth about ones self and comming to terms with it, is it a inner truth or simply a doubt you have about yourself that the wyrm is twisting to break you is the real question in the end.

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:42:15 PM)
*He nodded to sarah* if they can make it through all nine levels they are balanced they have no more taint no more insanity no more anything.. All sorts of rumors about that, problem is, would a group of spiral dancers let a untainted elder come out of that alive?

DND Scene (Jan 14, 2011 11:42:24 PM)
Perhaps that is why we never hear of them?

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:43:36 PM)
Well then thats counter-productive on the Wyrm's part. This ritual that supposedly teaches balance but it so breaks everyone's minds at each level that the poor smuck that makes it through all that gets killed because the Crazy Spirals think the smuck is crazy.

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:43:43 PM)
Actually...that makes so much sense.

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:49:10 PM)
*she takes out a journal....her journal and opens it up....she slides it over and Old Song Bird would see copies of Spiral glyphs...but wisely broken with an inch of space between each half of the glyph so nothing spiritual could ever be called.* I know what these mean but what does this one mean?

Sarah Swiftfox (Jan 14, 2011 11:49:24 PM)
