As they speak with her a group of spirits attack her, with the intent of driving her north. The Garou aid them in defending the spirit, as she has done nothing wrong.

Participating NPCs:
Participating PCs:
Synopsis:
Wobblethonk the Kami has been working to ensure that the Garou discover the existence of Mother Homestead. They are not glasswalkers but she is a pure spirit, not given to Weaver or Wyrm corruption. And as such not something they should dislike. They will hear sobbing at first, but the closer they get to the real world location the louder it gets. It won't take long for them to realize that the source of the sound is in the Umbra, where Mother Homestead waits, crying softly.
When they speak to her she tells them of what happened. Homestead was obliterated by Hurricane Andrew and her caern with it. The Garou had to abandon the caern when the buildings crumbled and by the time they could return the black spiral dancers had taken it. Installing their own city father. She was driven north, and after many years of wandering returned south to starke, trying to avoid cities. She has no place to call her own, and the new city father sends banes to attack her.
As if on queue, four Rot Walkers attack the Garou, wearing the bodies of squirrels and small animals.
Encounter: Four Rot Walkers
When the battle is ended the Garou are free to deal with the issue as they see fit, talking to who they like, and requesting assistance from who they like.
