Downtime Missions:

Unless William decides for whatever reason that the pack will not go on the mission, the pack completes the following missions during the downtime:

• Many missions to kill normal humans. They usually read as Wyrm tainted.

• Bosca's ally and parter asks the pack to go to St. Louis and hunt down and kill several dozen vampires (most very weak). Anthony gives you their daytime resting places, but there is a large bloody battle when the pack is ambushed one night.

• Sept sends Tooth and Claw and the Death Dealers (with William in charge) to clear out a nest of Fomori in some caves in St. Paul. You end up battling over a dozen Formori.

• Ghost in the Shell sends the pack to reclaim a stolen fetish from a pack of Mages living in St. Paul. Her instructions are to reclaim the fetish (a carved thigh bone) and slaughter all of the mages except one. She doesn't care which is left alive, only that he/she understands why they were killed.

• The pack finds a trumped up excuse to go on a spirit quest, this time during a safer phase of the moon. You find your way into a glen mini-realm and find a font of gnosis. You make friendly with the spirits there and regain gnosis and generally have as good a time as your pack can in the woods.

Also, the pack receives an open invitation to visit the Tri-Spiral Caern in Ireland (the Fiana tribal Sept).
