((Just meant that you'd be unfamiliar with the fact that houses are armed like that... haha... armed... anyway, back to the story.))
Two rolls please, straight perception (diff 6) and strength + atheletics (diff 6).
((If you didn't find your sheet, you have perception 3, strength 7 in crinos, atheletics 0... Also, what did we decide as the rules for your Arms merit? If it affects this roll (the climbing one), lemme know.))

((We never specified what they would be, more that they were fully functional, and we would judge case by case what the advantages were)) perception: 4,4,8 - 1 success ((Alertness isn't a factor here?)) Str/ath: 5, 3, 2, 4, 8, 3, 7 - 2,3,3,4,5,7,8 (2 successes) BTW, my dice HATE me. Just got 6 successes in 5 rolls AFTER THE FACT

((For this roll, just raw perception.))
Anyway, about 30 feet up, you think you see something shimmering.
The wyld spirits are close behind you and start scrambling up the tree. Let me know how many rounds it takes you to get 10 total successes to see if you beat them to the top.

6443090(1)(7)-3,4,4,6,7,9,0,0 (1 off 10 doesn't count) so 5 successes round 2 - Total 7 7855266 - 2,5,5,6,6,7,8 so 4 successes - round 3 total 12
3 rounds, assuming the first 2 successes count as a round
((Also, is that a no to arms benefiting my climbing?))

((Mmmm... let's say in the future you have an extra dot in atheletics for atheletic activities involving your arms like swimming, climbing, lifting. Since you easily beat the spirits to the shining thing in the tree, it won't really make a difference here.))
You easily beat the wyld spirits to the top where you saw the glimmer. Upon closer inspection, it is a clear box with a key inside of it. There is no opening to the box, and no lock on it. There is an inscription on the box, but it's too small to read under pressure. The wyld spirits are closing in, and you're quite a ways up.

I take the box and climb/leap my way down, and run from the spirits. Once I am able, I take a closer look at the inscription.

Somehow you manage to leap down without taking damage. The spirits chase you for some time, but you lose them.
The inscription on the box reads: "I am tall, I am old, I am strong. I can run forever, yet I never move at all. I have no voice, but my roar is deafening. Only I can open your box."

My first thoughts are that this refers to a waterfall-tall, old, strong, running but immobile, deafening roar without a voice. I try to recall any waterfalls that I know of or have seen on my way out here. However, given that the "river" was the Milky Way, an appropriate metaphorical waterfall would be a meteor shower.
If I know of a waterfall, I will head there, otherwise I will head back to the moon bridge and the caern to get assistance. Furthermore, I will keep an eye out for meteor showers or signs of fallen meteors

There are several waterfalls nearby. The tallest is actually not very far from here. You could probably get to it without going on the moonbridge.

You've found a waterfall, congratulations. The spirit of the waterfall is standing there, minding his own business.

"Pardon me, great spirit. I humbly come before you with a request." I say as I approach. "I have a box which I believe only you can open. Will you help me?"

He looks you over, up and down. He examines your box. With a roaring, raspy voice, "What makes you think I can open it? You're Garou, you're strong."

"It is true that I have some strength as a Garou, but not the kind that is needed to open this box. Also, the inscription on the box- only you can be the answer to the riddle; only a great waterfall such as yourself can open it. I beseech you, will you please try to break the enchantment that holds it closed?

"If you think I can, it cannot hurt to try," he takes the box, and it begins to melt. Quickly. Before you know it, the object inside the box is swept down the river.
