Sour Wind huffs "You know, in MY tribe, pragmatic ruthlessness is considered a virtue"

"Careful, Sour Wind. She'll figure out you're a werewolf" Don the Fab warns

"Yeah, not sure which one you are yet. You remind me a little of my best friend, though. He's pretty pragmatic."

"Then he's probably worth listening to" Sour Wind observes

"He is."

"Must be nice" the Theurge says dryly "Being listened to I mean"

Lupe rolls her eyes "Okay, refocus folks, this isnn't a camping trip and... uh oh"

"Uh oh?" She reaches towards her halberd.

"Taint" Lupe's lips curl into a snarl as she points another stream, nnot so different than the last one, but this has some sort .. oil laden glaze over it "The wyrm's agents might be around here"

She draws her polearm. "Okay."

None of the garou stay human, shifting to various stages of more battle ready forms. Even Lulu seems to turn into a greater bulkier wolf rather than her more friendly canine form. And they move on cautiously, senses alert. there's a lot of sniffing

Lupe is now in, what did they call it.. Cry-noss?

And then a figure stumbles out of the bush "Careful, do not drink the water..." A staggering garou with wounds "It is tainted by the wyrm"

Truth?

The blue giant eyes the stranger warily. The mithril edge on her blade gleams with silver. A glance at Lupe, reading her for clues.

Truth

But Daggmar's not the only one on guard

"There is a black spiral patrol near by" the woman , well, uhm hard tto tell but she seems like a woman under the fur and muscle . Well that's true too

Dolly's eyes ligght up "Well then. If we have to fight"

"Hold up," Lupe asks and looks at the woman "What happened to you?"

"I was attacked" True. "You should follow me. " She seems to think that's true "I can get you to safety" NOT true!

Narrow eyes, and then Flyswatter is at the stranger's throat.

"What is your aim?"

"This wylding is mad! Protect me fellow Garou!" The woman snnaps /pleads "I only sought to warn you" LIE

"Liar"

"Kill her quick" Lupe says after sniffing "Now , before the others join her!"

Dagmar draws Flyswatter in a slash, cutting at the stranger's throat.

Silver is a bitch

annd so too is mithril

when guided by a giant's arm!? Well...

The ambush the black spiral dancers planned is reversed on them, for surely they did not intend to lose one of their pack rigght away. Daggmar does not BEHEAD the evil garou, but 'nearly headless' is just as good as she goes down

Others Leap out. One crossing through the air to try to strike at Dagmar's back only to have Dolly's claws sweep up, one merely scratches, but the other hooks into the airborn Black spiral and cuts and cuffs him to the side "I will end your pain!" Dolly snarls, and i's hard to tell if she means it as a kindneess, or a threat.

Dagmar isn't as fast as the rage-fueled - but then, the theurge and ragabash likely don't have the rage to spare, either. She's fought before, but the garou are fast and fierce - a change of pace to be one of the weaker fighters. That being said, she might surprise the pack for not being completely overwhelmed at once.

Having armor and a good weapon also probably helps.

Indeed, despite their bickering, Don and Sour click back to back, and dagmar welcome to make it a back to back!

It is Dolly who is a true terror, her hump swollen along with the rest of her, she leaps into the fray without hesitation!

Indeed, she takes it.

the black spirals don't just fight you physically, there's something foul about them now that they're no longer trying to decieve. Cutting into them is like carving open an animal you thought was healthy but furious and finding i filled with maggots and putrid fluids

Dag wrinkles her nose before calling out "Still their limbs, Skaði! Slow them and shock them!" She purses her lips and blows at the nearest Spiral - calling a cold shock of Kyros!

Winter spirits hear a call, how odd? And race and whip over the nearest foe , the effect much like she wanted but the visuals definiely different.. ice forms over it's mangy coat. She gets a half handed stroke in on it, not as deep as she likes. BUT... Don manages a slash from the side... and then the Theurge takes his turn and shoves wha looks like an over sized dagger into it's gut. The three take down one. Not winning math, but better than naught

"Hunh!" No time to linger, there's a fight on!

And then there's Litltle Mother.. she has taken a greater weapon from one of the dancers, and driven it into the arm of a foe "Stay tight in formation, guard eeach other's back. I know you all want glory but figghtt as a pack or we die separtely!"

Concrete Lullaby tilts her head back and HOWLS... it's electrifying, it seems to chargge the pack up with new energy! Annd yet the enemy actually whimpers as if something in them recoils

But this is not to say no one is hurt! Dagmar 's leg gets turn into, and she is glad her armor carried or it would be right to the bone instead of a few inches of meat

Dolly takes the worst of it but keeps fighting

Dagmar takes anothe slash feeling white hot, but her foe has made a mistake. Trying a bite and run... but forgetting the reach of a pole arm!

She roars and swings!

Ah, that BSD is not going to get far with the lower half of it's spine ripped out like that!

A cry of pain from Lullaby as another foe tries to slash her throat to end her song for ever. I misses, but that shoulder is bleeding badly.

"Damn i, she extended too far out!" Little mother says "who is closest to helping Concrete Lullaby?"!
