Mission Description
Kingsmouth is on the verge of crossing into the cold, dark months. Upon this threshold, something strange has gripped the town, some force or presence that's causing local cats to scream, rise, and claw at invisible curtains in the world.
This mission can be received initially by listening to the call from Madame Rogêt all players receive upon logging in during Samhain. The Meowling can also be picked up from Madame Rogêt herself in Kingsmouth. This version of The Meowling mission is repeatable. A one-time unrepeatable breadcrumb version of The Meowling is available at the Paragon Activity Boards in Agartha.
You must be at least Level 30 and have unlocked the Blue Mountain through Dawning of an Endless Night to receive this mission.
The Meowling rewards a [Bag of Tricks and Treats] upon completion. The Meowling rewards the [Sterling Wildcat] as a First Time Completion Reward.
Madame Rogêt
I've got a cat problem. Can I call you?
Madame Rogêt
"Hey, you may not remember me. Um, Kingsmouth. Crystal Ball. Fake Accent."
"Ravens?"
"Yeah, so, anyway, not just calling to say hi."
"Although, hi!"
"So, um, it started with Andy, then me, then all these, these kittens..."
"I know, it sounds weird on the phone, right? Look, I wouldn't call because of some missing cats."
"I mean, yes, my cats ARE missing. But...others are screaming."
"Rising. Clawing in our heads."
"I actually miss the ravens."

Deputy Andy
"Moose says it's best to talk things out. So here I am. Talking."
"Mom bought the kittens and Dad drowned 'em. That's the facts of it."
"I don't like speculating much. That's one step away from guessing, and Sheriff, she taught me not to guess."
Deputy Andy
"Mom's version was that Dad loved things too much."
"Got a bit crazy sometimes. Hugged real hard."
"Didn't always wanna let go."
"The morning he stuffed 'em in a bag and took 'em out to sea, he was full of too much feelings."
"Didn't know what to do with them."
"He took 'em down to Journey's End, out behind the bed and breakfast."

Another call from Madame Rogêt.
Madame Rogêt
"I always kept them outside. They did... cat things - rummaging, scratching, digging up flowers."
"They never bothered anyone. Certainly didn't bother me."
"Now...I see them digging things up, but it's not flowers."
"It's definitely not flowers."
Find the cats and what they're digging up.
The rest of the cats are outdoor cats. Not all of the thirteen are in the mansion.

Madame Rogêt
"Elena Zhelikovsky paved the way in this town for my line of work."

"Whatever sells the magic snowglobes, right?"
"Her spirit’s always been real chatty…maybe she knows something we don’t."

Rememeber the blueprint.

Tier 5
Task Description
Among the opened books is a ritual to rend the veil. Elena's notes mention a powder or potion linked to a place called Annapurna, as well as a warning about gateways, diggers, and gods.
Objective: Find "Annapurna"
Find the location known only as Annapurna as mentioned in the tome.
The margin of the spellbook mentions Annapurna, the supplier, requires a trip to Europe.
There are only a few possible locations within Europe that might have a supplier.
Another book in the Crypt depicted Stonehenge.
Annapurna is a shop in Ealdwic, London (150,150). It’s time to cross the sea.
Enter the shop.
Objective: Find more information on "Siabhra's Air"
Find more information within the shop about the elusive Siabhra's Air.
There’s a lovely computer waiting to be used on the counter and not a single employee to deny its use. Hack into the laptop.
Unfortunately for the aspiring hacker, it requires a password. A hint is available upon typing Hint and hitting enter.
Hint: Best olives EVER!
Perhaps they’re a pinch proud. Look around the store.
The password is the brand of olives sold there: Davi-ees
This will bring you to a menu screen with only two choices: Supplies and Blends.
Siabhra's Air is not a supplier.
Go to 2) -- Blends -- and then 5) -- Siabhra's Air -- to learn more about it.
Objective: Locate the first ingredient
Objective: Locate the second ingredient
Objective: Locate the third ingredient
Locate the ingredient necessary to create Siabhra's Air for yourself.
Possible ingredients to choose from can be found on the Suppliers menu.
Selecting an ingredient on the Supplier menu will display the suppliers and sources the shop gets the respective reagent from.
The First Ingredient
Freshly picked seeds chewed to destroy fair Boadicea
Boadicea was the Warrior-Queen of the Iceni who led rebellion against Roman rule.
After her final and crushing defeat against the Romans, Boadicea is said to have either died or committed suicide by poison.
Roman soldiers are said to have chewed fennel while marching for its immense efficacy for appetite control, as well as the belief that it instills courage. Fennel allowed the Romans to persist and destroy Boadicea.
The computer says that while the original supplier was a Marya soldier in Egypt, they aren't responding to any calls and Annapurna can't go to Egypt directly to get it. Instead, fennel has been planted in 'The Backyard' below the railway.
A small sample of Pharoah's Fennel can be found growing in a corner in the back of Ealdwic Park against the railway bridge above (130,315).
The Second Ingredient
Capon's Tail
Capon’s Tail is another name for Valerian.
According to the supplier list, the shop used to get their Valerian from a fellow in Bucharest, who in turn got his supply from Siren’s Lake; however, resupply from the source has gotten so slow that a small stash of Valerian is kept behind the counter.
On the shelf the counter is a small Stash of Siren's Lake Valerian nestled between some bananas. Please note that at this time, there is no interaction outline for the Stash of Siren's Lake Valerian.
The Third Ingredient
The maiden’s watcher of the road
Chicory is called is sometimes called the Watcher of the Road from its German name, Wegwarte. It is named after a folktale.
The House of Chalk supplies chicory, so it can easily be purchased across the street (130,160). Mambo sells Root of Chicory for the low price of 500 Anima Shards.
Samhain 2017 #1 sits against a table in the same location as the Third Ingredient (130,155).
Tier 6
Task Description
Ancient Samhain rituals often focused on bonding and purification in the face of encroaching darkness. As seasons shift and gateways open, some seize the opportunity to claw things from other worlds, while others seek to strengthen the boundaries of ours.
Objective: Locate the ritual site
Find the site just right for sorting out this sordid affair.
WARNING: Do NOT attempt to combine the ingredients before locating the ritual site, or the mission will become broken and require GM assistance in order to advance any farther. Be careful!
Remember the old spellbook.
The spellbook has two locations scribbled in red in the margin: Vinterskog Woods and Wispwood.
The spellbook mentions the presence of sidhe mounds in the ancient woods.
By far the older of the two Woods is the Vinterskog Woods. Wispwood is only the way it is because of recent events: Jack of the Lantern.
Go to the Vinterskog Woods in the Savage Coast. In the midst of the mound that makes up the Wood's middle is a cat clawing at a stone bowl (125,600).
Objective: Place the materials in the stone bowl and rend the veil
Now it is time to make Siabhra's Air.
Use the stone bowl. Complete the ritual. Rend the veil.
WARNING: Some Dimensions' instances of The Savage Coast can become bugged. The portal at the end of The Meowling and beginning of The Cat God won't appear in a glitched Dimension. If necessary, you will need to 'Meet Up' on another player in a working Dimension.
