2/18/2013 Zoar Valley

*wanders in* I'm not sure if my pack wants to go- but I've been looking to get some space for the Lupus kinfolk for a while. Securing Zoar Valley seems easier than securing something up here closer to civilization. I'll come along. *shifts to lupus* better for travel, sensing.

Skippy arrives, looking ready to help.

Wishbone is on hand with Patch.

*Sean comes in* I already agreed to help out with this.

*Robert Comes Running up*
Ye want me to drive ye thier? My Pickup has a large Cap on the Back?

We will likely just go to Lupus and run there in the Umbra

I got cha back Guards the Home. Let's do this

*Lillian is there with her packmates*

"this sounds like a noble and worthy endeavor! Let us begin on our quest!"

It seems like we have more then enough. Unless Wishbone or someone of high rank has issue. We should get going. I would think the easiest way to get there is Lupus umbra running. So of those not in Lupus could shift. This is my first trip to the valley so if someone has been thier before it would be easier for them to lead. I looked it up on a Homid map but not the same as having been there.

*begins trying to cross into the Umbra. never a sure thing for the Homid*

*Sean shifts to Lupus and begins to shift into the umbra*

::was in Lupus, goes to Umbra::

[Walker shows up at the last second it looks like he almost missed the group... did he forget?]

Wishbone slips into the Umbra, aiding his packmate if necessary.

Welcome Alpha ::to MarkWalker:: I wasn't sure you were coming.

"I can spare a few hours. Old Goat might not have thought Zoar Valley was important, but he was wrong."

Wishbone chuffs in agreement. << Zoar Valley was important enough to sacrifice members of this Sept; it is important enough to see the job done. And the sun gets no lower in the sky; let us be off. >>

So saying, he heads in the proper direction at an ungainly lope.

::follows::

[Mark sings a brief bit, of] "We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Zoar..." [He cuts himself short when he hears his own voice, and stays silent instead along the trip.]

*Snorts and goes Lupus & steps into the umbra his missing left front leg slows him down but he trys to keep up with everyone*

How about we go east to west?
((The map is for OOC reference. Guards the Home would not have pulled out that map. But maybe a Glasswlaker would lol ))

?

Follow with his packmates humming and old viking tune

So, are you all following Guards the Home's suggestion on getting there or using an alternate method?

::Is perfectly willing to derfer to the higher rank people here ::

I follow the lead of the ahrouns' hence doing as guards instructs.

Ooc: someone said the green part is only the public area. Need to dig up another map

*looks to Wishbone taking a submissive body posture, his lupus speech obviously the work of a homid*

home for kin away from people spaces. need shelter, prey, water. this place known? dangers to share?

:: during the run :: What do people know of Zoar Valley?

<< There are several areas one suggests we check. We must check the area around the Gate; we should check the area around the old Caern; we should check the area where the kinfolk used to roam. Once we have done that, we can check other spots. One urges you all to bear in mind: there were dangerous things in Zoar Valley before the Guardian became a problem. Fischmann sent his forces here; also, Memory lives here, and is not fond of our people. >>

Memory?

<< Memory is...(Of-Bear-Under-Gaia-Time-Gone-Before.) He brought the Guardian's corruption to our notice; he was not impressed that we had failed to notice it for ourselves. >>

understood. other servant of gaia not garou

*looks at Wishbone Wolfish Grinn*
Bear Folk huh Bears like Honey If Bear show up this one make bear happy bear...

making home for kinfolk, check their place first? or Gate first?

Wishbone is wise and old ::as in elder not as in feeble:: , yes then we should first check the gate.

<< No path is ever totally safe, and there's no longer a Path Stone in Zoar Valley. We could perhaps ask one of the pack totems to open a bridge (safe running through the Velvet). >>

(( OOC: Unfortunately, I've been told that my pack needs to rebuild our totem, so right now, we don't have that ability. ))

That GlassWalker pack opened a moon bridge before ::tilts her ears back:: But...it was a helicopter
((OOC: Our Totem negioations been pending for months. So I don't think we can help. And that ability wasn't on our list beforehand anyhow))

*Sean nods a bit and closes his eyes communing with Mongoose to open a bridge*

"Or we could just take some cars. It's not even an hour from here."

<< We could. One does not have a car. One does not object to traveling in them, though. >>

*Sean looks up* An hour...we do not need a moonbridge....

<< One suggests, however, that only cars that will not be missed be taken. One notes that we have taken cars to Zoar Valley before, but seldom come back in them. They tend to be destroyed before we can do so. >>

I've got a couple or three that I won't report if they disappear mysteriously. Nothing fancy but they'll do the job. I may want to get rid of their public records after this trip, but that's another matter entirely.

Wishbone nods. << Cars, then. We will drive to Zoar Valley, and we will investigate: first the gate, then the old caern site, then the old hunting grounds. We will cleanse as needed. We may encounter Fischmann's people there; be ready for a fight, if so. >>

*Patch pulls out a cell phone and makes three phone calls.* I've called on a few kinfolk to deliver some of my vehicles. They should be here shortly.

*Approximately 10 minutes later, 3 vehicles drive up, and the drivers step out, leaving the keys in the vehicles. Patch hands each $100 bill as they get out.*
Thank you gentlemen. As always, your assistance is greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can help you out some time.

*turns to the assembled garou* Ladies and gentlemen- our chariots await.
