Cubs Among the Gathered Tribe -- 6/8/99

Wildfoot and the Willowholt Cubs -- 7/29/99
Anxious for an opportunity to converse with the visitor to Willowholt, Wayfound discovers much to her disappointment that Wildfoot rather shares Midnight's opinion on her conversational habits; Rillwhisper attempts to drop hints to Wildfoot and Midnight that she is not exactly pleased that her cub is getting mocked.

A Chat With Aroree -- 12/14/99
Aroree attempts to chat with Wayfound, Rainfire, Jasmael and Calmwind, only to startle the Willowholters by the revelation that the local humans worship the Gliders as gods -- and to provoke an argument between Rainfire and Wayfound as the cub resents Rainfire's attempt to curb her curiosity about this strange new variety of Tall Ones.
Wayfound, Calmwind, and the Egg (Part 1) -- 12/15/99

Wayfound, Calmwind, and the Egg (Part 2) -- 12/16/99

Wayfound and Trollkiller learn from Ekana a bit of her history as a Wolfrider who has been magically altered by Winnowill, and from Haikari and Demell that the Gliders as a whole seem to be growing much friendlier -- especially Demell, much to Trollkiller's delight; later, Wayfound and Woodhawk have another encounter with Winnowill, on the way to the Egg.
Confrontations and Comfort -- 12/29/99
Tempers flare in the Mountain as Simmel, Midnight, and Brightstar come across Shadows in the Mountain's catacombs -- and Calmwind and Wayfound inadvertantly stumble across them all; as Wayfound learns from Malene that not all of the Gliders in the Mountain are of friendly disposition to Wolfriders, but that her tribesmate Midnight is actually capable of apologizing to her; and that Calmwind seems to require a brand-new name.
