Last week one of the Black Hackle dogs showed up dead in Crooked Claw territory. To make things more complicated, the Oldfeather crows have come back to the Rookery after disappearing years ago. The rats and the dogs are at each other’s throats, and the crows are poised to reclaim their ancient turf. The leader of the Black Hackle Gang is a large mutt called Old Mate, and she wants to know — are you with her or against her? - is your character living with or associated with a human or humans? - what's their general relationship with humans? - what's their relationship with spirits and the occult? - are you new to duskvol? - are you new to this part of duskvol? - Rover aka "Big Brick" - Rotweiller - Vice: Affection - Problematic behaviour: Begging for attention - Trick: Nose to the ground - Pack Sheet » Bark Bark Gang - Sneaky Mutts: When you execute a clandestine infiltration, you get +1d to the engagement roll. - Finding Mr. Goobers brings Rover out of retirementment - We live in [[Crow's Foot]], hanging out around Barking Dog Court - Ghostly bell rubs - Go dumspter diving at Stew-house Cooks - "Many of the less reputable stew-houses and taverns of Doskvol prefer to cut out the middleman, and will try to put any animal they can get their hands on into their stew-pots directly." - This is a terrible plan of Rover's. Mr. Goobers is ***all in***. - 9 = Mixed Success - The human is sitting outside having a smoke. - Mr. Goobers looks around to see what supernatural entities are there. - There's a ghost cat. - Lay down and stare up at it, and wag tail. - Sensory and emotional overwhelm. Headache. - The cat goes and taps a roof shingle onto the top of the human's head. - The human goes inside, and Rover tries to shut the door. He does… but time is limited. - Rover goes to knock over the bin… and [[SlRvb]] rolls a one. Gets a cut. - Mr. Goobers parkours into the bin… but jumps into the wrong one and is treading water. - Rover grabs a plank and jams up the door. Rolled a success. *TAKE THAT, DOOR!* - Rover tosses Mr. Goobers into the correct bin. There's food! But there's the sound of footsteps and whistles. - Mr. Goobers grabs the carcass… and misses it. But Rover grabs him out of the bin anyway. - Rover goes to knock it over again, but misses. - Mr. Goobers parkours off the top of the bin and knocks it over. - Mr. Goobers finds a creepy doll arm and takes that. (No actual value. Just creepy.) - We get the food! - 3 total: 1 for Rover, 1 for Mr. Goobers, 1 for the crew
