Anna was sure it would not hurt to have Kamut take a look. He wasn't caught easily, and he had a chance to at least tell them what they were fighting. But she didn't say anything. It was Vasara's call, he was the alpha. (Sorry, one-liner but after the thing with the Spiral Cub, Anna is not going to appeal to anyone for mercy )

"What law exactly are you referring to?" Vasara asked Kamut and shifted into crinos. "We follow Litany. We have met Wyrm here, and we will fight it. Wyrm might use ignorant pawns, but their ignorance will not make them innocent."
"They are here now. They are doing something and it feeds Wyrm here. Even the Owl has told us the reason for this is not in Umbra, it is happening at that place in the physical world, and it will unleash Hell in Umbra if we let them finish." Vasara spoke as he honed his claws against rocks in the earth. "They might be ignorant fools. But they are not innocent anymore."
Vasara looked at his claws. Sharp as razors, he admired, and started to grow protective warts across his body, calling out silently yet another Gift. It would be overkill if they would face some ignorant pawns, but definitely would be needed if they were anything else.
He gave his Spirit Brew to Anna after taking one portion of it to replenish the strain his Gift was giving him. "If shit really hits the fan, keep us on the side of Gauntlet where we would have advantage. If we fall back, we fall back towards the Warwolf and we must not, in any situation, go to umbra in places we know Hounds are."
((OOC: Visage of Fenris, 1 Will to Resist Pain, 1 Rage to Razor Claws and as we are still on 'preparation-posts' 1 Gnosis to activate Troll Skin. Anna has now extra Spirit Brew with 2 Gnosis.)

"You've got your orders, kid." Nadya growls out in the mother's tongue. "Get to it." She watches Vasara sharpening his claws with interest. "You'll have to teach me that someday."

Kamut struggles not to bow his head to Vasara's command, especially as he takes on the appearance of great Fenris. "It may not be the code of the litany, but we have no right to kill without knowing for certain. We don't know they are of the wyrm yet, and if we kill without certainty now we could be starting on a slippery slope."
He's careful with his words, knowing he's very near to accusing them of corruption even with what he does say. "How long will it be before you need even less justification?"

"All you need is to me ask later." Vasara said to Nadezhda. He already knew how she would pay for the teaching.
"They feed the Wyrm." Vasara said bluntly. "They are in wrong place, at a wrong time, doing very wrong things." Vasara didn't even think about Kamut's reasoning, That must be some Shadow Lord thing.
"Garou kill garou for less reason than this. Both of our Tribes are famous from that, even if both of us thinks it is wrong. To Fenrir there is no slopes. Only justification I need is what I have seen and heard tonight. Or do you think Owl was lying to us?" Shadow Lord clearly had made his mind on this one. Arguing about law with Philodox...
"You have five minutes to prepare and get your arse in position in the physical world. THAT will give you enough time to do your tricks. If they have no taint you have time to let us know and we will spare them and proceed against Hounds, but then YOU will steal the book to us. Failing will not be an option there."
"IF they are tainted, I will whip and ashame you later for disobeying me right before the assault." Vasara's tone carried a cold rage.

Kamut narrows his eyes at Vasara, as he shows the dangerous signs of a tyrant rather than merely an alpha. "We are not in battle yet and I am not disobeying, just questioning as is my right and duty as new-moon. When we face battle, I will follow your orders without question."
He nods. "For all we know they are on our side, perhaps they are there because they are helping somehow, you don't know. To check if they are tainted before launching into assault is all I asked. I will get the book as you have ordered, and I will help kill them if they are tainted."
If Vasara doesn't have more threats to make, Kamut moves somewhere out of sight, fades into the background and peeks across the gauntlet before stepping sideways to evaluate the situation better.
((kamut will position himself a little to teh south before stepping sideways, and use blur of the milky eye of course))

Kamut found a clear place to step sideways and disappeared from the Umbra. Here he could see the figures better. The ones who were spread around the circle seemed to just be milling around, watching. He could sense no taint on them, at least not on the ones he could see. There were only 3 of them in view from here. As he reached the northern-most point of the clearing and circled it, he could see the book more clearly. It was an old book, barely held together and falling apart with age. It was opened on the stump, and there was no doubt that the taint on it was strong. The man in front of the book looked young and handsome. He was also buried deeply in whatever he was doing with the book, and didn't notice Kamut sneak past him. There was no doubt though, the taint of the Wyrm lingered around him as well.
As he continued to circle, two more humans came into view. At least they looked human to Kamut, and once again Kamut could not sense any taint on them. Odd, he was sure he had counted eight before. Two were missing.
Five minutes passed. The rest of the pack got ready to step sideways.

Kamut's bad feeling is rapidly growing, he's sure only the one at the centre is a threat, and that if he's taken alive the damage might be easier to reverse... But it's too late for that. Kamut stays still, shifting to Hispo form ready for the battle to begin, repeating in his head that the alpha's orders are not to be disobeyed once battle is joined as he tries to set the very bad feeling aside.
(fatal flaw on tainted guy)

Time was ticking, and Anna was trying not to get too nervous. When the five minutes passed she held out her hands to her packmates.
"Whatever happens," she said. "We will have shown the warwolf that we do not run from a battle, no matter what the odds. Let us cleanse this place in the name of Fenris and Bear, or die trying."
Once they were all on board, she stepped through the gauntlet.

The moment they've stepped into the physical world, Nadya quietly moves up behind the nearest one and pulls him behind a tree before sinking her teeth into him and ripping out as much vital tissue as she can get hold of. If they're lucky the other victims will be occupied by the guy with the book, and wont notice one of their number pulled out of sight.((quietly, split action three ways to grapple + willpower then clinch with teeth twice, and tasty tasty rear attack bonus ))

Vasara took a deep breath. No sign from Kamut. Time to attack. Somewhere deep in the back of his head he had hoped there would have some sign from him, Vasara didn't like this either too much. But he was fostern now, they needed to accomplish this to get Warwolf on their side. Anything else mattered only a little.
There seemed to be only one guy at their immediate reach, so Vasara tried to help Nadezhda bite the guy from his neck hard enough to prevent him from screaming help. If things went well, they would get a nice and quiet kill and could attempt to kill another without getting noticed. If they would get noticed, he doubted that this poor thing could stay alive to enjoy it.
((No warcries or howls etc just a good Bite to shut the guy up. Not letting go if the guy survives.))

The group steps into the Umbra unnoticed, and the human, a young man in his twenties, doesn't even turn around. Before he knows it, he is in Nadya's iron grip. Saxon stood by, ready to attack anything else that came their way, but tried not to draw any attention to himself.
Then the lightning came, with no warning, and somehow it struck between the trees and found its way to the four Garou. As if somehow knew where to go, the first lightning bolt struck Vasara's spine. The others followed up almost immediately, hitting Anna in the shoulder and Saxon in the back. Nadya is somehow protected by the body she is holding, and though the shock kills the man in her arms, all it does is singe her fur.
Kamut can see the woods light up as his pack is struck down by the lightning bolts, but from where he is standing, there is not much he can do. The man near the book does not seem to have noticed him yet. He turns around to face the south, turning his back on Kamut for now. The other four are alert. Some of them pull out handguns.
Damage taken: In Lethal
Nadya: no damage Saxon: 4, stunned - Must spent will to avoid frenzy. Anna: 3, stunned Vasara: 5, stunned - No frenzy yet. Everyone gains rage (even Kamut)
Initiative: Slagbroeder: 12 Joni: 15 Jesse: 16 Zarastaro: 14

Vasara grinned. That could have gone better. It seemed that they themselves were ambushed here. Well, they still had their plan. They still could regroup and strike again. Vasara tried to figure out who might have been behind the lightning and how they had been noticed as he moved back into the safety of the woods to wait Anna to do her part.

Anna used the pain-induced rage to move and started her own retreat, moving closer to the pack in order to pull them back into the Umbra. She had never seen anyone do something like this before. She wasn't sure Spirals couldn't though.
(Will to ignore stun, gnosis to step sideways again, once all the pack is near me)
