Nadya grins even as she smells her fur singing, though it's more likely the smell of Vasara burning. She moves out of sight behind the tree and closer to the pack, and smashes the body once more before setting it aside.

Kamut doesn't move, sticking to his orders and trusting to Vasara to deal with the situation as he can. Maybe the figures will follow the pack into the woods and give him a chance to run for the book anyway. He studies the wyrm-tainted one as he waits, considering the information he had gathered and looking for anything unusual or any sign that the man seems to be in control of the lightning.

Zarastaro looked up as the flash of lightning lit up the sky. He remarked to himself, "Joni was right, we do have company, well, this should take care of them." He took out the grenade he kept at his side, pulled the pin and threw it at the retreating figure he could make out.
Joni had a smug expression on her face as the lightning flashed. She frowned for a moment at Nadys as she threw away the body and then took out her pistol and fired it at her figure. Hatred for the person that had just killed one of her friends flushed through her body.
Jesse gave Saxon a glance before shouting out, "You can't win, just give up." She then grinned at Anna before leveling her shotgun at her and firing.

As Kamut lies in wait, Zarastaro pulls out a grenade and tosses it towards the group of werewolves. It lands three feet from the intended target, which is Anna. The rest of the humans do not react. In fact, none of them approach the Garou. And finally, they break and run into the forest.
Vasara retreats quickly and back into the woods, but as Nadya and Saxon make to follow him, they suddenly find movement incredibly difficult. Nadya can barely move two steps away from the clearing, and Saxon drops to his knees, almost collapsing under his own weight.
Joni aimed at Nadya, but even with her slowed down, she managed to miss and the bullet lodged itself in a tree. Jesse was more focused, and her shotgun blast hit Anna in the back before she could jump for cover and pull the others to safety. The first blast was quickly followed by another as the bullets burst into flames inside her flesh. The pain almost sent her over the edge, but she didn't lose herself to the rage yet.
Anna takes 4 aggravated damage. Everyone gains rage for seeing that. Vasara spends will to avoid frenzy.
Current Status: Saxon: 3 lethal Vasara: 4 lethal Anna: 2 lethal, 4 aggravated Nadya: Healthy
Initiative: Slagbroder: 13 Joni: 11 Jesse: 16 Zarastaro: 15
Anna keeps her gnosis, but is on one will. Yes, you can now see your assailants. They are two women with guns.

Joni looked in astonishment as her bullet missed Nadya. She then frowned at Nadya again while she pulled the trigger again, hoping that she would hit her this time. "No way is anybody this lucky.", she remarked to herself.

Nadya gives a growled chuckles as she moves South to take cover from the grenade and more bullets behind the tree. Humans with guns, always so brave until they lose their arms.

The situation looks like it's rapidly getting out of control, Kamut could see at least three of the pack having trouble. As much as he would like taking the wyrm-tainted one alive, this is the time for a quick resolution rather than a tactically ideal resolution. Keeping low and quiet to maintain his element of suprise, Kamut moves into the clearing and leaps up to sink his Hispo-form teeth into Zarastro.

Once again Anna used the rage to keep herself moving and get out of the grenade's way before it went off right in her face. This wasn't going well at all. She saw Saxon struggle to move, but she could barely get herself out of the way right now, let alone help him.
(Rage to ignore stun, rage to ingore a level of wound penalties, and dodge.)

Zarastaro looked up from the site grenade to hear Kamut sneaking up on him. He looked into Kamut's eyes and allow him to see the darkness within. He then pulled out his sword and braced himself to parry Kamut's attacks until he could affect him.
Jesse pulled back away from the grenade and focused for a moment. She then dived away from the grenade behind a tree to escape its blast. "Damn Zarastaro", she thought, "He could've waited till we were clear to throw the grenade."

Boom!
The grenade goes off only three feet from Anna as she stumbles and trips into the foliage. But through pure luck she manages to drop behind a tree and avoid getting hit by the blast.
The noise, the explosions, somehow it only made things clearer to Anna. She'd been wrong all along, to her Vasara in the visage of Fenris was a savage beast, eager only to sate his thirst. Drool dripped from his slavering jaws as he growled and snarled for blood and murder. Nadya, cackling like a maniac, screeching with glee to Anna's ears as she moved away from the pack to let them fend for themselves, was somehow worse. Anna saw her eyes roll back into her head in the madness of her hysterics. Saxon seemed to exist only to make lewd remarks, he was a filthy sweaty pervert, a fact readily apparent from the raging erection he had even in the heat of battle. Anna could only imagine the horrific things he thought about doing to her young body. It was only a matter of time before she was made a victim too. And where was Kamut? The Shadow Lord had abandoned them, they were going to die, because she was fighting the wrong fight. The humans? They were grey, insignificant, merely an annoyance distracting her from what she had to do. The violent monsters that she calls pack would handle them.
As she got her balance after the explosion riddled her with fragments, she saw No-Eye's standing there to help her keep upright. He smiled as she looked into his hollow, maggot-infested socket, and spoke with his normal quiet authority. "Now is your chance Anna, leave this chaff behind as they throw themselves into battle mindlessly. Go to the book, it is your only salvation now." She felt compelled to look towards it, to see the darkness there. Deep, peaceful darkness. A place that would accept her, unlike her pack which only used her to further her own ends. The book was clearly the way. "Quickly, circle around to the left, take cover behind the tree. These humans will lose interest when they see you are no threat. They will turn on Vasara and Nadya, and destroy those hateful monsters. They deserve to die, you know that really." She felt herself compelled to move West and take cover behind the tree, then wait for a few heartbeats as the battle raged. "Once their attention is on your supposed packmates, then you can make your way to the book, and you will be free."
Saxon isn't so fortunate, and just as he gets up he is blasted off his feet by the grenade and collapses once more. Vasara feels the power of the blast just as he moves closer to Jesse, but his thick warty skin protects him. He continues to heal as he gets behind the tree. From her location behind the tree, Nadya is also safe from the blast.
Unfortunately, Joni and Jesse are just as quick, and avoid being caught in the blast as well. Both of them look unhurt.
The loud noise continues to ring in their ears for a while. Then everything goes silent.
Meanwhile, near the tree stump... Kamut lunges out of his hiding place and throws himself at Zarastaro. He doesn't see it coming, and doesn't turn around until Kamut's teeth have already dug into his back. Then hissed in pain and turned around to glare at Kamut with a look so terrifying, it stopped him dead in his tracks. He felt a horrible chill creep up his spine and although he continued to attack, he felt himself freeze in terror. He attacks again, but this time the man is ready for him and he draws a longsword to defend himself. Kamut gets another hit in, but the second one is parried by the longsword. Kamut finds himself unable to continue his attacks, however. The fear has him completely paralysed.
Saxon takes another 4 levels of lethal damage. Current Status: Saxon: 6 lethal - crippled, is forced to spent willpower to ignore frenzy Vasara: 3 lethal Anna: 1 lethal, 4 aggravated Nadya: Healthy Kamut: Healthy but paralysed for 5 turns.
Initiative: Slagbroder: 13 Joni: 11 Jesse: 12 Zarastaro: 16

Joni looked around for an escape, finding none she stared at Saxon for a moment and shot up and scrambled away from Anna.
Jesse yelled out, "Joni, take down the crippled ones, I'll get the escapee." After saying this she clenched her fist for a moment, and then got up and started circling around the group.

Anna got to her feet. He was right. She should have listened to him before. There was nothing else she could do. She needed that book. "Yes, I'll get it," she said. "I have to." She started towards the clearing, leaving the others to fight the battle. It didn't matter anymore. The book was all that mattered.

"You are mine, bitch." Vasara growled under his breath and launched himself full speed against Jesse. He tried to use his size to ram the girl into the ground and slice her to ribbons.

Nadya wasn't happy about the weight pulling her down, but she'd dealt with bigger problems. The moment was right to break cover, so she stepped out and charged, hissing a ferocious growl to fight against the weight threatening to pull her to the ground so she can move quickly. She leaps at Joni and rakes her claws and snaps her teeth viciously at her, striking again and again in lieu of the strength she feels sapped of.
