Anna renewed her attacks, still using her teeth to tear the bane apart before the others heard and came to its rescue.

The Valkyrie came in the gap the war wolf made as it flanked the bane, slashing at the beast with her sword, while the two huge white wolves tore at it with their teeth. Soon enough it was torn apart. The other four are still content to fight over scraps, but it was surely only a matter of time before they noticed one of their number was missing.

It went down easily enough, but then there were three of them. It wouldn't be so easy if they were fighting all four of the others.
"What about the others?" she asked quietly. She wondered if either of them had more of a plan then to just walk in and attack. She turned to the Valkyrie. "They're fighting each other," she said. "We can use that to our advantage."

The Valkyrie returned to where she had been behind a tree and the war wolf crouched down low again in the foliage. "Owl will alert us when it is time to attack. But what do you have in mind?" The four remaining banes continud snarling and snapping at each other while they circled the carcass.

"If there was a big enough prize to fight over, do you think they would kill each other?" she asked. She wasn't sure if a werewolf counted, but she was pretty sure that if these banes were squabbling over a piece of carcass, they would definitely do it over something as "juicy" as a Valkyrie.
"Or at least seriously hurt each other?"

"What prize could we offer them?" Over in the distance something had caught the attention of the banes. Anna could make out the owl spirit perching in the low branches of the trees, two of the banes had split off to pursue it but the moment they came close enough to be a threat owl flapped away to the next tree and turned to watch them again.

"Me," Anna said. She didn't know if a werewolf would count as anything to lure the banes with, but she was sure they would tell her if her plan was stupid. Then she could suggest the alternative. She was sure posing as bait wasn't going to be one of their favourite things to do though, so she was putting off suggesting it as much as possible.

The War Wolf's immediate response was far from encouraging. "I don't think they would fight over you before killing you." He paused and looked around, examining their environment. "But you might be able to lure one away, maybe the other will be content with the carcass now owl has drawn some off." Owl continued playing his game with two of the banes, letting them come close than flapping off to the next tree and a low branch to tempt them ever on.

"I can do that," Anna said. "It's better if it doesn't see you, or it won't follow me."
She shifted to Lupus and turned around and approached the two that had stayed by the carcass, hoping to get the attention of one of them and lure it out towards the others.

The two banes owl was leading were all but out of sight now when Anna stepped out of the undergrowth. The last two seemed to have settled into devouring the spirit's essence since they only had to divide it two ways. The one facing her spotted her almost immediately and gave a coarse growl before bounding over the kill and running for her at full speed. The other one didn't seem to be taking interest yet.
Init: Anna 11 Bane 6
It doesn't approach with any subtlety, obviously running straight at her to bite as soon as she came close enough. Looking back, Anna realises she's lost track of where he allies are as they continue to hide and wait for her to bait the bane.

As soon as it started following, Anna turned and ran towards where she thought she had left the two warrior spirits, trying to lead the bane away from its friend. As she reached the spot, she tried to shift to her Hispo form again.

Anna just about managed to force herself through to her Hispo form as she retreated, just in time for the bane to catch up with her and attack, ripping deep into her flank. On the positive side she could see the War Wolf and Valkyrie moving in to attack, having guessed the right direction more through luck than anything.
Anna takes two levels of agg (-1 penalty) and gains a point of rage (now 2)
Init: Wolf 9 Valk 15 Anna 12 Bane 7
The bane was eager to continue it's attack and tear at Anna's flesh again, and lunged to bite at whatever she left exposed. The War Wolf came in at it's side snorting out streams of frozen air before opening his jaws to attack the bane.

Anna snarled as the claws connected, but she had been expecting it. She jumped back to avoid getting hit again though. She was quite relieved that her spirit friends had jumped out to help. She thought she might have gotten lost and led him in the wrong direction for a moment. Then she snarled and lunged at the bane, going for its throat this time.

The Valkyrie moved in deftly around the group, coming around behind the bane and brought her broadsword down in a powerful stroke, slashing open it's hindquarters. The War Wolf, taking it's flank, clamped his jaws down on it's hide and ripped away a piece, then bit again but only caught ragged patchy fur between his teeth. Anna managed to deftly avoid it's attack before lunging back in, but her attack only grazed it's discolored hide.
1 rage left
Init: War Wolf 12 Valkyrie 8 Anna 8 Bane 13
The Valkyrie kept moving around to try and stay behind it, bringing her sword in for another blow.

Anna sprang up and attacked again, holding back her rage this time. It was almost hurt, and there were still three others to take care of. She would save it for them.
