Breadcrumb Drug Cartel Conflict

Late-Summer Beach Party | The Aftermath | The Salesman | Race Against the Clock

The Breadcrumb Drug Cartel Conflict was a multi-part event between Sapient and Krokar and an unknown enemy up until the conflict's final month. What started off as a late-summer celebration of the two packs' cooperation during the Familia Sugit Conflict earlier that year, turned into a massive mystery that Sapiens and Krokarans needed to work together to get to the bottom of before their kidnapped packmates were killed, moved, or drug-muled beyond their reach.

1.  Summary

Note: See the Timeline for specific events.

When trouble struck Sapient during the early winter months of the year during the Familia Sugit Conflict, their allies, Krokar, came to their aide to help fight off the organized assault made by two ex-Krokarans with a revenge mission against Sapient's Adcredo (Subleader), Shaamah. Having never fully shown their gratitude for their ally for having coming to their aide in their time of need, Sapient decided to host a co-event celebration for their strong ties with Krokar. Members of Krokar were invited to come to Sapient's lands, move back and forth freely, and share some of their own traditions with their allies in Sapient. Two contests were held to promote mingling and to strengthen their bonds with one another. To prepare for the beach party that was to be held at the end of the festivities though, a few members of Krokar and Sapient alike met with a supplier in the area who was trading alcoholic goods for a steal of a bargain.

Both packs were blissfully unaware that they had traded for tampered-with goods, and were unaware of the suppliers marking them for future encounters.

In the days and weeks after the great celebration, neither pack realized anything was wrong, continuing to drink the booze and share it amongst their members in an attempt to get rid of the excess amount of it that they had. While not every bottle was tainted, there were a few members of either pack that happened to be unlucky enough to catch a few of the same, tampered-with batch. These members began to exhibit strange symptoms that many of their packmates--and themselves included--chalked up to be nothing but a mere bug. As the stash of goods became smaller though, these individuals began to experience signs similar to withdrawals.

The bottles had been laced with a highly-addictive drug, and the suppliers were merely counting the days until they knew either pack would need more.

These suppliers posed as wandering tradesmen, and were able to convince the parties that met them on either border to trade for their wares; more alcohol. Resupplied, the unknown-addicts continued to seek more and more of these precious bottles. Crude maps were tucked into the crates the beverages were transported in, a tantalizing clue for any that wished to find more, or, were simply too curious for their own good. A few Krokarans and Sapiens alike decided to pursue these clues, finding themselves heading out near the Serpentine Mountains. Of those that showed obvious signs of being affected by the hidden drugs, the suppliers struck their unsuspecting victims, kidnapping them and taking them back to their base. Their intention? To ship these drugged individuals down to their Portland location of operation, where they knew they could sell the members off on the slave market or use them as drug-mules.

While Kalila Damaichu was not one of the addicts these suppliers were looking for, she had followed their map and was alone. Her vigilance and attempting to fight off her assailants resulted in her being brutally murdered before being mistakenly dumped at Krokar's borders. The news rocked both packs, and both were put on high alert as more bodies (Itō Miwa and Marne Sadira) showed up on Sapient's borders and within their own territory. As the weeks drew by, and Krokar and Sapient noticed a few of their members mysteriously missing, they decided to launch a search of what might have become of them and why they had all disappeared roughly around the same time.

Through clues and finding scouting parties of the suppliers, the packs finally realized what kind of enemy they were up against; a drug cartel group -- one that was a branch to a much larger entity -- and they had been targeted.

Working together as they had in the past, the two allied packs made attack plans, mapped and scouted out the area in which their packmates were discovered being held at, and their attack began at first daylight on a cold, snowing, winter morning. They divided into two teams and struck. Their ambush gave them the advantage, not allowing the cartel members any time to really prepare or make use of their victims/hostages as the packs stormed in through the front and back entrances of the hideout. The assault was swift and successful, and the packs were able to locate their missing comrades. While inebriated and a little worse for wear, they were alive.
