After barely escaping the vines, Simeon got a safe distance from the building and the three spiders. The spiders started back towards the front of the building. Hands-of-Mercy was still visible a little way away from the main fighting.
Though he was at the rear of the building now, out of sight of the main fight, the speed of Hispo and his gifts meant Simeon could easily run back to Hands-of-Mercy's position ahead of the spiders.

Spotting the returning three spiders, Hands of Mercy makes tracks to head them off again. He takes a few steps forward to cover their approach toward the rest of the group, and looses another arrow towards the one he shot earlier, getting ready to turn and run should they all come for him.
((Activate another shot.))

Doubling back on his path, He ran in close nipping at the trailing spiders legs. He wasn't trying to actually hurt it, more get its attention and get it and the rest to once more follow him. As long as they were chasing him, it was three foes not closing in on the rest. Like a cattle dog herding cows, he nipped and growled at them, doing his best to get their attention back on him for another game of catch the Strider.

Though Simeon's gambit was successful in yet again drawing the three spiders away, getting so close to do it gave one of them a chance to fight back. Simeon was sprayed with crystalline strands of pattern webbing, slowing down his movements but not quite enough to endanger him.
Hands-of-Mercy wasn't able to successfully activate Forest's Hunger for once, but his shot was on target despite the whirling winds. The pattern spider was still chasing after Simeon with it's two companions, but it was definitely feeling the sting of the two arrows embedded in it.
Hands-of-Mercy could see the battle raging over by the front of the building. Though the spiders were doing their best to bind the Garou there into place they were rapidly getting torn to shreds by the superior numbers.
Simeon is bound partially and is at a -2 penalty to physical stats (including dexterity and, consequently, speed... but speed of thought will keep him safe for now)

The webbing made him jump a bit as he ran, an act that any other time might have been humorous if not for the gravity of the situation. But, he was still running and still keeping them after him and as long as he was a step ahead...run he would. He shot a glance to see how things were going, he would do his best to keep his playmates amused til the others were ready, called him in or fled the scene themselves.

Hands of Mercy attempts to line up a third shot on the spider, for now waiting for the others to be free and moving before calling Simeon back to the group.
((And another))

The spiders gave up chasing Simeon quickly since he was still moving far faster than them, and they instead turned and ran towards Hands-of-Mercy. His shot was firmly on the mark, making the spider a badly-mauled pincushion as the third arrow was embedded, and it began to sprout vines which dug into the spider.
Hands-of-Mercy could see that the fight at the front of the building had come to an end and the war pack was freeing those trapped in the webs. Two surviving pattern spiders were backing away from them hurriedly and were circling around the far side of the building to get back to their nest above.
The three will reach Hands after one more turn if he stays put, Simeon can still catch up easily with the spiders or Hands-of-Mercy

Hands of Mercy drops to lupus and starts to run, cutting out sideways to lead the spiders still away from the main group. As he does so, he calls out to Simeon, ignoring complex words in favour of a simple message: We leave. The fight's done.
((2 Rage, one to shift, one for an extra action. Call of the Wyld to help get the message across while running.))

Simeon heard Hands of Mercy's cry and took a quick peek behind himself to see where his pursuers were. He saw that they here now moving towards Hands. but he also say the other Garou was on the move as well. He took that same moment to check on the others. He was most concerned at whether or not his previous playmates would follow Hands of Mercy all the way back to the others or give up the fight now.
((If the three don't follow or catch up with Hands, and don't return to the fight, Simeon will make a bit wider half circle to avoid attracting them again and meet up at the point the others are heading for. If it looks like they will catch up with hands of Mercy he will run in and try and pull them away again))

With the speed of lupus to carry him away, Hands-of-Mercy had no difficulty outrunning the spiders. They soon gave up on the chase and returned towards the building. They could see the others moving away from the building as well, though two of them were being carried. With no more pursuers they were able to regroup with the others.
2 rage left for Hands
Continued back at the main event
