lodge

It is not in the lion's nature to explain herself.

If you are reading this, you are a member of The Bosky Lodge.

Yours is a Society of woodsmen.

You will be judged by your self-sufficiency and by your hunting record.

At Society meetings, you must wear a mask and bear a sacrificial name: Hound, Crocodile, and so on. No other names may be spoken.

You are not permitted a burial: when you die, your body will be spirited away.

• SKILLS - CANTRIPS
• Theft - You are invisible to birds. You have +3 Inventory Slots. Items in those slots cannot be found unless you want them to be found.
• Hunting - You are invisible to livestock. Predators recognize you as one of them: wolves answer when you howl, lions avoid where you sleep, and vampires can’t bite your subordinates without your consent.
• Trapmaking - You are invisible to spiders. When one of your traps goes off, you know.
• Swimming - You are invisible to crocodiles. You can fight in water as well as on land.
• Climbing - You are invisible to monkeys. You can use both hands freely while climbing if you spend a round bracing yourself.
• Cryptography - You are invisible to snakes. Your secret codes are incomprehensible to anyone you haven't personally taught them to.
• Escape Artistry - You are invisible to octopodes. When you shake someone’s hand, any handcuffs, ropes, or other restraints that were on you are now on them instead.
• Wilderness Survival - You are invisible to horses. You can go a week without food, water, or rest.

[In this context, invisibility means you won't be noticed until someone or something draws attention to you.]

At B template, you know the rite of wolfing, by which one assumes a bestial guise. It takes three days to make a costume from an appropriately large pelt. The illusion is broken only by fire-light.

At C template, you can trade names with another willing person. Titles and epithets count as names. Everyone else retroactively accepts the new names.
