Well, you pretty much keep rolling until you get it.  If you fail three rolls, then the rite has failed.  As for the IC parts of it, you guys can play it out as you wish, but the longer it takes for successful rolls, the longer the IC scene should be drawn out with the packmate's participating.<br/><br/>And that's part of the fun of playing Werewolf.  Out of the ordinary things like howling neighbors is why this is the World of Darkness, and not the World of We Can Do Whatever We Want lol
