Main Quests

1. The Northern War - one of the largest active penumbral battlefields, there are hundreds of Garou and Black Spirals vying for control over the caearn of Prosperity found near the penumbral center of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
2. The Search for Sophia - the last she was seen was departing on a moonbridge from the Astral Realm, destination unknown
3. Project Clarity - returning the stolen memories of lesser Celestials (completed: On-Gop, Acala; on deck: Rat, Griffin, Artemis, and Wendigo)

Events of the Session Kareem Li, Verdant Song lead them to the Grand Trash Heap, Rat 's umbral realm. They brought offerings of two Tim Horton's garbage bins in addition to Rat's stolen memories. The pack successfully de-escalated a tense situation with the Ratkin, Rusty, Splendorous Refuse Collections Adept , who's rat pack spends a lot of time in The Grand Trash Heap with Rat. Rat was in his smallest form, not feeling in danger by the young Garou, and they deigned to have an audience with the pack. The pack returned the stolen memories, one of which filled Rat with both intense joy and intense sadness. As a reward, he offered them a gift from some of his best Stuff. They carefully (and not so carefully) examined the following items

• 7-ball of Memory: When focused well, the bearer may perfectly recall a memory (from their point of view), reliving it as it happened, at the cost of immobilization.
• Rage Coconut: can replenish rage with a chance of fox frenzy - destroyed by the Jabberwocky Curtain Rod and nearly killing Jake
• Compelling Lawn Flamingo - Planted into the ground by Clay, who suddenly learned to tapdance, and promptly removed by Mountain as those around the Flamingo began feeling compelled to dance.
• Half-Eaten Baguette: Freshly baked, crisp crust and soft inside, replenishes
• Statue head of spirit summoning: can summon efflings of the bearer's choosing
• Jabberwocky Curtain Rod
• 8-track of Peaceful Nullification (willpower diff 8 to do resist pull of song. success allows you to make an attack, failure stops you from attacking, a botch utterly entrances you and the currently playing song becomes your favorite song). In a moment of cunning (or carelessness)

In the end, they settled with the 8-track of Peaceful Nullification and initiated a bargain for a discarded, portable 8-track player - Mountain gave up his rancid, decaying hunk of delicious Abyssal Angler Fish meat. They also exchanged their Chain of Nullification and a spirit lantern for the Compelling Lawn Flamingo.
Clay and Lynette will be challenging for rank at the Moot. Clay talked to Terry Battlesong about a storytelling challenge and Lynet talked to him about musical performance-based challenge.
