Rite of Feralia 1997
Participants: Seshemw/Paul, Seeker, Aken-Benu (I forget who that is!), Blinks-at-Fire, Su
Ritemaster: Tiy, NPC
GM: Sepdet

This year I used an NPC from the Wheel of Ptah to run the rite. The plan was for the NPC to be lost and for Sepdet to finish the rite (which she was just learning, quite possibly from her uncle.) Unfortunately, Anpwhotep decided to go after the NPC. Falling behind in Feralia is often fatal. He knew what he was doing… :(

Feralia Conducted (IC) by Anubis
Participants: Sepdet, Su, Seeker, Rholeen, Isis/Traps-Fighter, Blinks-at-Fire, Paul/Seshemw/Shows-the-Way, Nekheb/Moyan Dashe, Anpwhotep (arrived late)
GM: Su, Sepdet

This was a complex, overly-ambitious ONS. The goal of this year’s Feralia was to give Blinks-at-Fire, a notoriously clueless half-moon problem cub, a second chance to prove himself after his first failed RoP. We needed him to be separated so that he couldn’t rely on everyone to tell him what to do or make his decisions. So we broke the Striders into 3 different groups. I also wanted to give Anubis a special scene of his own because normally he had to run everything.

To add to the complexity, I was trying (and failed) to give Eligio a chance to work in his non-wyrmy, enigmatic, maddening Eater of the Dead foil-NPC, Nekheb.

Feralia 1995 – Anubis GMing

Feralia Conducted and GMed by Anubis  (wiz-alt: Tarod)
Participants: Sepdet, Noor/Aset, Anpwhotep, Jeremy/Hand-of-Sekhmet (later died, player re-apped as Seeker), Su

Notes: Noor and Anpwhotep had recently rescued Sepdet from a nearly fatal adventure in Egypt; she had been captured and tortured by Dancers. She was still showing the effects.

Shepitra and the jars who keep popping up are references to Tarod’s foil-alt Warren Ramsey, Strider kinfolk –and something more — a priest of the old ways. He served in St. Claire as a coroner, and was also a gardener.

Toxic’s Swansong, Pt. 2

Continued from Toxic’s Swansong, Pt. 1

Here’s the aftermath of the battle which claimed Toxic’s life, including a lot of healing, mourning, and Rain Walker and Sepdet repairing the caern’s shredded wards.

This is part of the “Who Dreams the Dreamers” plot. Eligio’s the GM.

A number of Eligio Sacateca’s friends had been dreaming of a long-dead pack slain while trying to defeat and bind a greater bane. Meanwhile, Sepdet’s living packmates — or at least Toxic, the alpha, and best friend Dia — had dreamed that Sepdet would perish in an attack on the caern. This is the epic battle that followed, when Toxic went out in a blaze of glory.

Aliases: Jace = Two-Stripe, Adia=Steelfur, Toxic = Bluefur, Firewyld = Kiana, Cujo = Rik,Celene=Lightfeather (the Corax)

Renaissance and Seneca Falls

A Day in the Life of a Cub

This is one of my favorite dino logs, although almost nothing happens!

Sepdet is asked into Renaissance by Toxic. Later on, Sep and Tep go out to the caern, where she gives Jess a Tarot reading, talks to Wilhelm and sees Thoth and Hoggie. But the best part of the log is a confrontation between Lyta, Toxic, and Hecate, where Lyta has to browbeat Hecate, and Toxic has to accept the submission of the proud Fury, who happens to be more than a friend.

Summary: News arrives that Blue Sky Logging, a known haven for Fomori and Dancers, is pushing to start a summer camp in tandem with St. Uriel’s (where several cubs were going to school). Toxic, Stormcrow and others start brainstorming how to stop the camp.

This was the day after Sepdet got scar #2 (shoulder) in her second battle, a bane attacking the bawn which Bloodfang gave his life to stave off until we could arrive.

Summary: Not the most exciting or coherent log, the first half is a lot of news-sharing — Banestriker and Anubis setting up a hunt, discussions of how to infiltrate/fight Blue Sky Logging, Toxic’s disturbing dream of the infamous Cookie Cutter Dancer and his pet bane, and passing reference to Gah-thkk, another nasty Dancer with a crystal skull fetish that seemed to be draining the blood from powerful beings like mages to feed itself. Towards the end is a rank challenge between Bloodfang and Broken Claw — Red Talons.

First time I heard about Chloe.

Also, the Fury Spooner rags on Toxic for her interpretation of the Litany.
