I had hoped that they would be willing to speak to another spirit, but I will have an answer regardless. He singles out a spirit that looks likely to have been aware of its surroundings, and commands it to answer clearly and truthfully.

Animus turns to his familiar. "Guardian, try to talk to some of these spirits. See if you can find out how the stones came to be here and why the spirits are so fearful."

Animus drops Peer Across the Gauntlet and casts Spirit Tongue.

Pack Awareness active

The being's bellow of challenge shakes Matthew, and he feels the rage begin to well up. He focuses the entirety of his will on fighting it back, finally bringing it under control. He shivers, thinking of how close he had come to repeating the incident with the pain spirit. Only this time, the consequences would have been far more harmful than a painful loss of essence.

After bringing his emotions back under control, Matthew waits for Taylor's response, hoping that this encounter can somehow end peacefully.

After about ten seconds of silent concentration, he shakes his head. "The stone definitely has some sort of resonance, but I couldn't quite pin it down."

He looks back across the gauntlet, attempting to discern what effects the stones are currently having in the material realm.

"I used life sight earlier. Just now I investigated one of the stones with spirit sight, but I couldn't make out anything unusual. Then again, I missed the fact that these stones form the pentagram. Perhaps the stone in the position of spirit ... His voice trails off as his attention focuses on the stone placed where the spirit arcanum should be.

Animus studies the scene. Ten stones, ten arcana. And yet, only two of them show any overt ties to an arcanum. Perhaps one of the others will yield up some of its secrets.

He begins to study the resonance of the nearest inert stone.

But something seems to be distracting him, and he attains only marginal success in analysing it.

Matthew lopes into Fremont Park. Maybe he can find Sentry.

Then he hears the commotion. That idea goes out the window, and he heads straight for the source, attempting to shift as he runs.

As the group approaches Discovery Park, Animus looks for the runed stones and scans the area for anything else unusual.

What was the first hint? The only other hint of an incoming werewolf that I can remember was Rifle-breaker's reference to an Iron Master "from the black mounds".

So much for your 50/50 odds! Laughing

Hey, know how to sell to your audience. werewolf is unloved and unappreciated. And 50/50 odds that this guy only has one guy with him already, and will only be able to get one more.

Now that Sentry dropped the hint that they're coming, how many did he get?

Matthew fights off the urge to start a fire, desperately wanting to be able to see this thing that's approaching. But he knows how the forest spirits would react. Instead, he waits; this is Taylor's show.

"Back to Discovery Park." Animus scratches a rune on the floor for use when they get back.

Then he realizes which sight he had activated. I must still be rattled from hearing of Cartright's murder. Once again he juggles spells.

Once in the shadow realm, Animus makes one last preparation for combat, dropping one spell and casting another, once again using the mirror as a focus.

The same glow radiates outward, with the same effects on the surroundings, but when it subsides, Animus has taken on the ears, nose, and claws of a wolf. He slips the mirror back into his pocket, careful to avoid tearing the fabric of his jeans.

Matthew follows Taylor, the atmosphere only increasing his worries. If it turns violent, I'm not sure we'll be able to make it out alive. I still wonder if my presence here is a mistake.

As the spirit road opens, a white glow ripples outward from Animus, briefly revealing the spirit of each object that it touches. As it passes Blackfire, Fiddler, and Invictus, they feel a rush of vitality.

Animus' familiar runs through the portal immediately. Animus calls to the others, "You have just enough time to walk through,", grabbing his mirror just before entering the crossing through himself.

He then waits an hour before beginning his own ritual. He removes from his pockets a small copper mirror, a book of matches, and an incense stick. Lighting the incense, he begins his ritual.

Matthew dog-paddles across, a bit less sure of himself than are Taylor and John. Once on the other side, he shakes himself off, droplets of water flying from his fur. Why do I get the feeling that the forest spirit will be less kind this time around?

Matthew follows, hoping that the forest spirit doesn't turn hostile. The spirits recoil from what I've done. What if my presence here endangers my packmates? He shivers slightly at the thought.

Matthew stops in his tracks. Wring information? Totem hunting? When he speaks, his voice betrays some of his nervousness. FT:"I hope you know what you're doing. The spirit of this forest is powerful, and I don't think it likes us."
