Skinwalker Task Force

You might be familiar with the skinwalkers. People who have willingly given themselves to the Blight and performed a ritual to transform themselves into these abominations.

A group of them have plagued Travance for years, and it’s past time we do something about them.
When I communed with the primal spirits this past feast, I received what could be called a lecture from them. Basically, they say we need to be much more proactive. The skinwalkers been here for the better part of a decade, spying on us and causing Blight infestations. And we haven’t pushed back at them nearly enough. Why did Mikhail (the crow) and his buddies strike at us this past feast? Because we were distracted by the war, and had no organized resistance.

To that end, I plan on putting together a ‘task force’ to counter the skinwalkers (maybe someone else can come up with a catchier name?). The goals of this would be to:
-Gather information on each of the known skinwalkers, preferably without getting corrupted or killed. What are each of their specific strengths and weaknesses, and how can we exploit them?
-Ascertain what the group is doing. They’ve been very good at spying on us, and I’d like to turn the tables for once. We need better intelligence, and we need to know when they move.
-Come up with plans to defeat specific skinwalkers, so we’re not scrambling for ideas or writing rituals the weekend they’re in town. I want us to be prepared for when we next meet them. We have a lot of smart mystical minds in Travance, lets put them together and burn out this blight.

This would not be limited to just the druidically inclined. The skinwalkers are a threat to all, and anyone who is invested in stopping them is welcome.
Please send me a note if you would like to be added to this collaborative effort!

((OOG-I have a google doc going to bounce ideas around; drop me a line here or on fb to be added. Maybe a group chat or something if people want))

You know where I stand, and you have my sword.

On top of them being Blight, I have a score to settle.

You have my assistance.

I am currently focusing some of my efforts into taking them down. After they took control of me, it became personal. You already know that I am on board with their destruction, Annora.

I am not that great of a fighter but I have started stockpiling weapons. You can count me in.

Mr. Renaith THANK YE FOR THAT BIT OF INFO,

Tom,
I'll gladly pay you for it as a reward if you recover it, which we can discuss in person. As well as the potential dangers of these types of tokens/pelts.

However, do be careful these things are very dangerous and you should not go after these things alone. This is why Annora is asking for those who are interested in this group.

Thank you,

Our combined will shall spell their destruction. You have my assistance

In Service,

This Blight is an injustice upon the people and the land. Valos decrees that my hand and heart lead the Church of Light in whatever is necessary in the defeat of the Blight and of these skinwalkers. Let Justice reign in our hearts and rain down upon these nemeses of Arawyn.
I pledge any resources that the Church of Light can provide in this task force and whatever energy and skill that I can personally contribute.

Deus Vult

Anything I can do to help I will. I have a number of friends who have taught me about blight, it's time to repay the favor. You have my assistance.

I'm always willing to help fight off the skinwalkers.

So, these pelts that them skinwalkers have. Can those things be destroyed like somebodies armaments, or does the pelt itself have some sort of magical protection on it?

They should be able to be destroyed like any other item. However, you will find it harder to destroy it while the Skinwalker has it in their possession, as they will defend the source of their power.
They also need to be in their human form in order to successfully target the totem.
