There wasn't much challenge to following the trail. Though the dirty footprints became less distinct as it went on, the undergrowth had obviously been disrupted with the passage of whatever creatures had left the trail. Following the trail of broken branches and crushed bushes, they ventured on into the park and as they did Hands-of-Mercy picked up the distant sound of fighting. It seemed the battle that had started with the ruined scrag was still going on deep in the park.

Hands of Mercy picks up his pace. If there was something fighting, the guardian may still be saved. While he moves more swiftly, he keeps his wits about him, ready for an ambush, seeking to approach close enough to see the fight without immediately being seen.

Cloud-Dancer's eyes narrowed as they neared the sounds of battle. Now that she could hear it too, she picked up the pace and caught up with Hands of Mercy.

Erik's ears prick-up at the sound of conflict in the distance. This is what he'd been hoping for.
He bounds after Cloudy, ready for a fight.

It wasn't long before the others could hear the sounds of fighting as well. A number of different creatures snarled and growled at each other, punctuated by rapid movements of the undergrowth and the occasional sound of tearing flesh. The three moved forward through the foliage, but Hands-of-Mercy's caution didn't seem to be necesarry. As they came to the edge of the cover they could see the combatants paying far more attention to each other than them.
A short distance away they saw a huge, fierce cat-like creature that is almost certainly an embodiment of the spirit of a sabre-tooth tiger. It is beset on all sides by five more scrags in various states of injury, and has deep wounds all along it's flanks.
Hands-of-Mercy and Cloud-Dancer notice an oddity in the sabretooth's injuries. Some gouges are obviously wounds from this battle, while the others are still fairly fresh, but likely a few hours old. Erik, however, is led to a different conclusion that scars are all new and he gets the impression that something very big did them - something not currently in sight.
The five scrags continued to circle around the sabretooth, hissing and snarling and looking for an opening to strike. The sabretooth waited for one of them to move forward into range of it's huge teeth.
You've got the initiative on anything you attack right away

"The Guardian," Cloud-Dancer spared one word of explanation before she raised the axe and rushed into battle, cleaving through the scrags with Medraut, the bloodthirsty blade. Trusting both Cliath to keep to the plan she'd laid out earlier, Cloud-Dancer swung the double-headed axe again and again at the scrags.

They'd gotten the drop on the scrags, which was always a good thing. Plus, there were only five of them. But in the back of his mind, Erik wonders when the big scar-giver will be making an appearance.
Without another thought on the subject, he lunges into the fray, trying his best to get some scrag-meat between his oversized Hispo fangs.
((Charging one of the scrags (hopefully from behind), splitting dicepool into 2 bite attacks.))

As Cloud Dancer passes him, Hands of Mercy is in Crinos in an instant. His bow reappearing in his hand, he looses an arrow towards one of the scrags, silently invoking the Forest as he does so.

The darkness of night might of made their actions unsure, but the scrags were unprepared for the sudden assault. Erik and Cloud-Dancer both fell on a scrag each, and ripped their opponents apart in a shower of gore. Hands-of-Mercy's shot was not as effective, only glancing the shoulder of a third of the banes, but the arrow stuck and began to take root in it's target. The scrags got over their suprise quickly. The one with an arrow rooting in it's shoulder kept it's attention on the sabretooth and lunged to attack, while the other two turned to engage Erik and Cloud-Dancer.

Cloud-Dancer didn't let the fact that the scrag was now concentrating on her slow her down. She wasn't yet sure whether or not the Fang could fend for himself, but they would find out soon enough. She kept up her attacks on the scrag, just like before.
(Same as before)

Spitting the foul taste of scrag-flesh from his mouth, Erik turns to his next victim as the bane approaches.
"C'mon then, you FUCKER!" He snarls, bits of saliva and scrag-juice flying from his maw as he lunges forwards.
((As before.))

Hands of Mercy takes a moment to glance around the area, still alert for a potential ambush as he knocks another arrow.

Without the suprise attack, Cloud-Dancer and Erik did not puree their new targets as they had the previous ones. They still struck powerfully and badly mauled both scrags, but not enough to stop them fighting back. But the scrags didn't fight back, they growled and snarled and hissed and snapped, inciting the rage in their opponents to drive them to mindless acts of violence. Erik managed to supress the rising lust for pointless destruction, but Cloud-Dancer found her control slipping. From his comfortable vantage point, Hands-of-Mercy was the first to see another Garou come charging out of the foliage opposite them in her Crinos form. She attacked the third scrag that was facing the sabretooth and lunged for it with a sword. The sabretooth viciously attacked the scrag as well, tearing it's essence open, and the sword-stroke finished in destroying it. In it's assault the sabretooth didn't notice the new arrival until it was too late, but fortunately only managed to gouge one of her legs slightly. A loud wail pierced the night as the scrag fell, coming from the newcomer Garou, though she didn't look like she was the one forming it.

Hands of Mercy nearly snaps a shot off at the new Garou before he sees her attacking the Scrag. Instead he turns his attention to the Scrags facing off against Cloud Dancer and Erik. Not entirely sure what they're doing, Hands decides to try and stop them before they can complete it anyway, and looses another living arrow at the Scrag staring at Erik, figuring the 'Fang would likely need more support than the Fenrir.
((Another activated shot))

Erik, aquite fond of acts of pointless destruction, is still a little disappointed that his opponent preferred to sing and dance than fight back, and continues his assault.
More hearing the newcomer's attack, than seeing it, he's glad that there is one less scrag to worry about keeping track off.
He does notice that Cloudy was still occupied with her chosen foe, and calls-out to her.
"You need a hand over there?" He growls, in what could best be described as an arrogant, yet good-natured, tone.
((Spending 1 Rage for an additional action, splitting primary action into 2 actions. 1st action, bite Erik's scrag. 2nd action, bite Erik's scrag. 3rd action, bite Cloudy's scrag. Abort to biting Cloudy's scrag if the one he's meant to attack falls, or, keep biting Erik's scrag if it doesn't fall.))
