Collapse the Barrow

Rank 4 White Howler Gift

In a land plagued with subterranean Wyrm-pits, the ability to destroy the structural integrity of an underground lair was priceless to the White Howlers. By using this gift, the werewolf is able to collapse an earthen or stone structure or tunnel in upon itself, thus making it much more difficult for it to be re-used for evil purposes.

System: The Garou spends a point of Gnosis, and touches the floor, ceiling, or walls of the targeted structure. The player makes a Strength + Occult roll, with a standard difficulty of 6 for an average excavation tunnel. The difficulty increases or decreases with the structural integrity and craftsmanship involved in creating the target; 7 for a stone cave or natural rock tunnel, but 4 for a quickly dug burrow; 5 for a hastily built rock hut, but 9 for a masterful stone broch tower.). For each success, a 5-foot section of the structure collapses.

This Gift does not cleanse the area, and simply collapsing a pit creates a festering magnet for banes and other Wyrm-creatures. Because of this, Collapse the Barrow is most often used on the way back out of a pit, after the inhabitants have been dealt with, and the area within has been ritually cleansed.
