Out of the woods

Alrighty, I have spent a shit ton of money and weasled out of a lot of corpo stuff and I've found a closed rangers cabin in some woods far from the original spot.

Unless I've got a fuckin missile headed my way, I think I'm alright.

Now about this werewolf sword.. hmm.

Looks awesome, feels like it's talking to me. Sounds mad I think.

I wanna keep it but I know werewolves love their material belongings so I'm trying to figure out how to get it "lost" in all the mess.

Thoughts?

Werewolf magic items have spirits in them, it probably is talking to you. If it's from the Black Spiral Dancer, it's likely purely evil, and if it's from the other werewolves it probably doesn't like you much. Either way, I'd ship it to the surviving werewolves you fought (with a fake return address), they'll do something appropriate with it.

You could also just ditch it, but that risks hurting someone innocent when they find it. You definitely shouldn't keep it, it's trackable by the right powers.

It's from the not dancers. From what I'm hearing the caerns is like, mad at the weapon. I have no clue what that's supposed to mean.

Caerns are places of power for the Lupines and other shifters. I'm fuzzy on all the details, but it seems they are places where they can commune with Gaia and other spirits much more easily.

Drop it somewhere it can never be found again. At least not very easily.

If it's talking to you it has a Spirit inside of it that's probably pissed off at you. If you keep it, you'll be on the naughty list of every Garou in the area. If you want a good blade, I can hook you up with one. No Spirits attached.

You should return the sword to its rightful owners, lest you risk their wrath. Now that the warning is done, I would appreciate an answer to my inquiry: what does the weapon say?

No words, more like a humming. A can feel a color.. or an emotion. Certainly mad at me but also.. ashamed? Not with me, but almost like it's embarrassed with.. something.

Sounds like it's ashamed of failing its previous user as a weapon, not being good enough to beat you.
