Yes I believe that there is, but I'll have to check the book later when I'm home.

The jobsite I'm at has shit reception, but I'm trying to look it up as well.

From a character perspective, I feel Diana would likely know it's at least possible. She had a certain level of formal education... Werewolf 101 if you will.

Just got home from work and was able to look up my copy:

'A Garou in the Penumbra can peer back into the physical world, but it’s not easy, and it’s not without risk. (This requires a Gnosis roll against a difficulty equal tothe local Gauntlet.) If the attempt succeeds, the werewolf sees a shadowy, monochromatic version of the physical world. Seeing fine details is difficult (although it’s possible to read newsprint, a computer monitor, or facial expressions with five successes). Noises from the other side have distortion or echoes. Scent, however is unaffected; in fact, some Garou claim their sense of smell is heightened enough that they can even track prey. While a Garou in the Penumbra is peeking into the physical world, however, she is oblivious to her surroundings in the spirit world, unless she starts taking damage (and losing Health Levels). Her pack can’t communicate with her, and her enemies can act unopposed. Her intense concentration is obvious, especially since her eyes will be glowing. Werewolves can also peek from the Earth to the Penumbra, though it’s even more difficult. The Gnosis roll is against a difficulty of the local Gauntlet plus three, up to a difficulty of 9. However, the same dangerous distraction is evident.

So the gauntlet was already 10 so it can be done but is difficult.

You guys obviate the communication issue due to the totem power.

Awesome.

And she isn't there alone, Alex and Rat Food can watch over her. Seems like it's at least worth an attempt.

If you can potentially read newsprint or a screen, I feel identifying if there are people, noting where cameras, doors, and windows are, and seeing furniture/layout should be doable on a regular success. None of that is particularly detail oriented.

Don't mind me, just looking up how to recover Willpower for absolutely no reason :P

Emphasis mine.

It certainly sounds like clothes don't cross into the Umbra if not dedicated. 🤷 Ultimately your call though.

There next activity that will be storyteller directed will be at the following monthly moot which is in about two weeks time after you return to Cumberland Falls so posts detailing what you do in those two weeks would be appropriate or if you had any missions you wanted to instigate.

It's a difficulty 5 Gnosis roll to attune to the Sword since it's a rank 5 Fetish.

Ah Diana was still hoping to stick around and looking into that ve ding machine which she had stated....if the other wnt to leave she my stick around in the two weeks and try and find out more.

Yeah- if anyone wants to stay in Michigan longer you can, just wanted to hit the segue on the scenario. You just know you have two weeks to be back at the Cairn.

I think 5 is a record! 🤣
Alordis says:
Noted on what you're efforting for both backgrounds and experience use. I'll look at it- I'm pretty sure I have a copy of Elysium kicking around somewhere.
As far as actually converting a "gang" of allies into a "military force" you'll probably have to at some point switch your efforts towards it to like doing weapons drills/target practice and other things that are more like "military training", but right now I'd consider that you're laying the ground work, recruiting and building the team so to speak.
I'm planning to keep Allies and Military Force as seperate Backgrounds, even though there is overlap in-game. Allies being the couple of people Patrick founded this with... military force being the numbers.

As for Military Force...

o 15-person mob, generally unorganized and untrained: student rebels, street gang

oo 25-person team, generally with some combat training: police, crime family

I don't know that we'll ever go above two dots. It's not what I envision for Patrick.

At some point in the next few months my internet provider will be switching and hopefully it will then be consistent enough to not do this duplicate posting lol

Do we earn any Renown for retrieving the fetish, or do we have to wait for the next moot?

Also, question about the sword; since it's a fetish, can I merge with it once I am attuned? And do I need to make a Gnosis roll before I am allowed to spend Gnosis for additional actions?

Lastly, is the ASOTMK a Sword or a Great Sword as defined on page 302?
[ +- ] Ps. Anyone else think of this sword?

Fetishes once attuned are automatically bonded and don't count against your limit.

If it wasn't clear the sword lets you- attempt a gnosis roll for an extra action and also lets you spend gnosis for extra actions, so you can do either or both in the round.

It's the size of a Grand Klaive so use those stats for damage (though you don't get the prestige benefits since its not a traditional Grand Klaive).

As far as renown- I could have sworn there was renown for recovering fetishes but I could not find it on the chart anywhere- if someone sees it let me know which category its under because it's not under the section for fetishes.

Also- yes when the original news story I pulled the image from went around it is a replica version of that sword.

If everything goes as planned, I'll be unavailable for a couple of weeks from the 23rd of July. I'm going on a family trip to a place that has electricity, but no internet. (Such a place exists!) I'll be back on and posting as soon as I have an internet connection.
Jul 18, 2023 2:13 pm
