The Werewolves, Emerah Dyevann, Fogsleeper, Glen, Anton, and Annabelle had to undergo a Rite of Passage to be considered full Garou. In this case, their mentor Alexander gave them the assignment of infiltrating a nearby Pentex facility and discovering what exactly goes on within. First, they tried checking to see if tours are available. They were, but were only through the upper levels of the facility. Emerah and Annabelle, the two who were the scouts here, conceded to a frontal entrance. So, in his idiosynchratic style, Glen kicked in the door, and the pack descended into the deep bowls of the facility. They found nothing of interest for quite some time, until they had reached the lowest level. There, they kicked in the last door to discover a huge three-headed monster, about 30 feet tall, standing in a pool a balefire with catwalks running around the room that held it. It was fixed in place by mighty chains, against which it was straining. As they looked at it, several Pentex guardsmen came down the staircase. The Werewolves quickly dispatched them, and ran for their lives as the beast snapped the chains, one by one. As they ran away from the facility, the huge beast broke free of the facility and destroyed it utterly, all save for one room, which was made of reinforced steel. They ran back to their caern, where Alexander was told the entire story.

Their rite of passage complete, the pack decided to put an end to the monster rampaging across the city. When they checked it out in the Umbra, they discovered that is has the form of a huge, grease-dripping dragon, breathing balefire and corrupting everything. They then decided to try the single remaining room of the facility, which contained the Pentex computer cores. Annabelle managed to obtain the information that the beast could only be killed through decapitation. They sat down with Alex, and decided that the best plan of attack was and Umbral assault, going through its mouth and cutting its single umbral head off from the inside.

They put their madcap plan into action, and, despite the fact that its crazy, they accomplish their goal with no casualties. However, almost all of them are severely hurt in the process, but given that their caern is one of healing, they all end up fine, without even scars to show for it. They are now full members of Garou society.

The characters had a dream, in which a tall Crinos shape stood above their Caern and beckoned to them. At its back stood many Formori, with guns at the ready, and Fogsleeper was gone, with only a blood-spatter behind...

The cold north wind woke them from their night's rest. Then looked about them, and discovered that Fogsleeper had, sometime in the night, vanished. Thus they began to search, finding with their keen Garou noses a scent leading to the east of the Caern, out along the thicketed shoreline of the lake. They followed, and found a wallet by the side of the road. Name. Number. Address. There was a slight altercation between Glen and Emerah resulting in Emerah lying in the road with buckshot in her, and they searched out the man's address. They found him in the wee hours of the morning, and confronted him violently. He told them to fuck off, with a .357 Magnum. They stuck around, and found out after much investigation that he had taken her to a garage run by "Mikhail and Sons."

They assaulted the garage, and found there that the owner was being hit by the SWAT team for possession and dealership of illegal drugs. The team brought him in, and left the PCs relatively untouched in the umbra. They shifted back and looked on the computers, finding an email about a transfer of Fogsleeper to a Facility on Lexington and University.

The characters storm the facility, and halfway through their attack about half their opponents drop dead. Throughout the next few seconds the rest die, apparently of no cause. They start looking, and discover that there's a small device at the back of the neck designed to deliver a strong shock straight to the nervous system. And someone, somewhere, activated them. So the baddies were dead, and they found another transfer notice, to Facility 12, on Griggs and University.

More coming soon...
