Rite of Running Water

By Honorah O'Neill (hconeill@cc.owu.edu) for the Breakers tribe.

Level Four Rite

Description

This Rite is used to track someone, no matter where she may go. Wherever she was most recently in contact with water, the user will be able to locate it.

System: The user goes down to a body of pure water. It must be running. She plunges her head beneath the water and must hold it there for at least five minutes with her eyes and mouth open. She then rolls Perception+ Alertness Difficulty 10. The number of successes indicates how far away she can sense her target. One would be only if he had crossed upstream while five would be anywhere in the world. The information is conveyed through the subtle murmurs and caresses of water spirits, hence needing to use all five senses to perceive it.
