CAERN/WYLD

---

At the conclusion of the moot, Joseph successfully performed the Rite of

  the Moon Bridge, creating a link between the Hidden Walk and Western
  Eye. A big party followed, with a short, more "traditional"
  beating-up-Wyrmstuff style Revel on the Hidden Walk bawn, attended by
  members of both Septs while other members of both stayed behind to
  celebrate the new closeness. The Bridge stayed open all night, only
  closing with the setting of the moon and the dawning of the sun.

PEOPLE

---

During the full moon this month, word spread around of a Rite of Ostracism

  being performed on Haslin Grism initiated by Moon Otter with the support of
  Patrick. Those who attended witnessed the announcement of his misdeeds,
  including stealing a kinfetch-marked Uktena cub and went as far as
  announcing her as Shadow Lord at the last moot, and heavily interfering
  with the tribal affairs of the Fianna while still a Guest. Megan
  successfully performed the rite, and it is known that Moon Otter held the
  decision power of when it would end.

DEATHS

---

Haslin was reportedly killed in a convenient store shooting towards the

  end of the month.

CAERN/WYLD

---

In light of recent events (the loss of four Garou) and given the current

  situation in St. Claire, the alpha would like to be informed about any
  hunts or scouting missions *before* they happen. He would also like to
  be informed about any prepatory measures various Garou are taking (i.e.,
  making talens, calling in favors from spirits, et cetera), so that he
  has a clear idea of the sept's current resources and can try to limit
  unnecessary duplication of effort.

CITY

---

The night of the power plant explosion, Blackwatch, Edge, Velia, and Keith

  battled against banes that burned with the Wyrm's fire and attacked the
  minds of the Garou, and also against a Thunderwyrm, a massive creature
  that shook the earth. Jose, in the Thrall of the Wyrm, killed a
  possessed Davy, while the Thunderwyrm swallowed Velia whole and killed
  her, though her body was recovered. The Thunderwyrm was not killed, but
  retreated back underground.

Also that night, Cavall fought several giant mantis- or spider-like

  creatures that poured into the industrial district from the direction
  of the power plant. They managed to kill two of the creatures before
  being forced to withdraw; several of them were hurt badly, and Hank was
  killed.

That same night, elements of Rise of Mercury, and several other Garou who

  live in the Kent Crossing area, fought several banes that attacked on
  the bridge over the Columbia. These Garou were also forced to withdraw,
  leaving the banes in possession of the bridge. Hope was killed in the
  fray.

A few days before the night of the Moot, a large contingent of Garou

  descended upon the Rialto Theater to assist Edge in clearing it out
  in preparation for the Revel.  Several Garou encountered difficulty
  with the thickened city gauntlet, but members of Edge, Blackwatch,
  Ouroborous, Untouchables, Dreamrunners, and Watchmen and a few others
  successfully managed to destroy the six spirits lurking in the Umbra
  there.

The Revel consisted of a two-pronged attack, one group taking out as

  many bane patrols around the area of the park, while a second attacked
  the banes in the park itself.  The first group, led by Signe in Edge,
  Cavall, Forest Howls Echo and other Garou succeeded in clearing
  out their patrols, with only BJ falling.  The second group, led by
  Brian in Blackwatch, Untouchables, Ouroborous, Poetic Justice and
  others succeeded in killing of the banes in Harbor Park, including the
  corrupted knight reported by the scouts beforehand, and seeing only a
  large tentacled bane escape into the sewers.

A good number of the spirits that had been taking refuge in the Rialto

  have moved into Harbor Park now to hold it against the possible return
  of the banes. In addition to the normal city spirits, there are two
  Bear spirits and a Wolf spirit protecting the park, as well as half a
  dozen Unicorn spirits. Two Water Elementals live in the Umbral fountain
  again. Within a few days of the rescue of the park, a pair of Falcon
  spirits move in as well. Not far from the fountain, set in concrete, is
  a representation of the Silver Fang tribal glyph. It glows under
  moonlight, more brightly as the moon gets full.

After giving the day after the Revel to rest, Andrea gathered as many

  Garou as she knew and could find to help cleanse Harbor Park right before
  dawn.

PACKS

---

Alexandra has been heard to talk about 'her packmates' recently. Could

  there be a new pack in the works?

CHALLENGES

---

Megan announced at Moot that all current challenges in process--Joseph to

  Quiet, Bailey to Diana, and Angelo to Cutter--have temporarily been put
  on hold due to the crisis in the city.

DEATHS

---

Velia, Davy, Hank, and Hope were killed the night the lights went out in

  St. Claire, fighting banes which spewed out of the Power Plant that
  evening.

There are rumors afloat of a Gathering for Arlen, but there's been no

  confirmation that she's dead, nor how she died if she did.

The Bone Gnawer, BJ, was killed fighting a patrol of banes lured to the

  alley near the Rialto the night of the Moot's Revel.

MOOT

---

Master of the Howl: Steven Fool: Patrick Opener of the Sky: Andrea Truthcatcher: Megan Storyteller: Bailey Wyrmfoe: Brian

Announcements: Megan announced that Alexandra of the Silent Striders and Joanne of the

  Bone Gnawers stood accused and admitted of breaking the Veil in the
  city, in an incident captured on the news the previous week.  The
  halfmoon further announced that they were confined to the Caern until
  the waning halfmoon after the next fullmoon, or until she'd reached
  a decision about them.

Brian announced several things. One was that he felt that Alexandra and

  Joanne had also refused to submit to an elder and had challenged him,
  and that he'd tear the throat out of anyone else who disobeyed him
  that way.  He also announced that the Revel would be an attack on the
  Park, and to be prepared.

Moon Otter gave the scouting report about the Harbor Park, describing the

  types of spirits seen and the fact that patrols of banes seemed to
  exist, including a spirit with the appearance of a medieval knight
  with the corrupted sigil of the Silver Fangs on his shield, which he
  theorized might be a Black Spiral Dancer.

Quiet stood up and corrected Moon Otter, saying that the knight was a

  spirit manifestation rather than an actual creature.
