Gnosis: Variable
Contrary to its name, the Stone Kettle is not, in fact, made of stone. Usually it's blackened iron, sometimes wood, but always deceptively roughhewn. There's only the vaguest glimmer of anything supernatural about the kettle (which, in truth, looks exactly like a cheap piece of cookware), and only those looking hard will notice that the battered pot is more than it seems.
For while a Stone Kettle can be used as simply that, it also can perform a few other, more interesting functions. With just some boiled water and a stone, a Garou who knows what he's doing can use the Kettle to boil up vapors, stenches, clouds and suchlike to suit his purposes. If he doesn't know what he's doing, however, he just might brew something with unexpected - and dangerous - consequences.
System
Unless the werewolf working with Stone Kettle invokes the Wyld beforehand, it functions as just an ordinary pot. Anyone attempting to activate it without doing so is liable to get nothing more than several helpings of granite-flavored broth, and that's if he's lucky. If, however, the werewolf knows his business and does things properly, he can cook up practically any sort of cloud within reason. The type of fog to be summoned must be specified beforehand - if it is not, the exact sort of foul smoke that comes out of the kettle is left to Storyteller discretion. However, it is unlikely to be helpful to the Garou wielding the ladle, or even safe.
A Wits + Rituals roll (difficulty 6) is necessary to summon forth the kettle's contents. The more successes, the greater the volume of cloud summoned and the longer it lasts.
Gnosis Rolls for Summonings from the Kettle
4 - Fog, Cold wind, a faint, pleasant aroma
6 - Stench-laden fogs, Icy winds, Smoke
7 - Clouds thick enough to make those trapped in them choke,
9 - Clouds thick enough to make those trapped in them ill
Note: The Kettle costs an additional point of Gnosis to activate for each level of fog created.
The uses of the Kettle are limited only by the Garou's imagination, and the fact that under no circumstances will the Kettle brew up something that is an actual poison. The first time a Garou attempts to do so, the Kettle will shatter.
