Adran saw the flash of lightning and looked up from his rite. He felt cleansed but heard the sounds of battle a little ways from where he was standing. He immediately jumped up and started running towards where he thought the battle was. He remarked to himself, "What would be out here to cause this ruckus? It does sound like a good battle though, I think I'll check it out. Hopefully its not a BSD war."
Shifting into crinos he ran into the clearing a little ways from where Vasara was standing. He sent out a call to Starcaller for aid. He asked her, "What is going on here, who are these guys?" Seeing the grenade marks and the gashes all across Saxon's body he cautiously looked around before moving around towards where Nadya was standing.

Kamut gives a momentary whine of suprise and fear, but rapidly turns it into a determined growl. There was no way he was going to let a leech best him, the foul creature will die. He lunges again, snapping his teeth once more before lunging to pin Zarastaro to the ground in his jaws and rip him apart.

Zarastaro looked at Kamut with ennui and shook his head at him. Taking a good look a Kamut in the eye he plunged his sword down into Kamut's throat.

Nadya charged for Joni, despite the difficulty to move, and unleashed a rapid series of attacks at her. As she clawed through Joni's chest, she felt the pain rip her own. With every attack on her opponent, she felt claws rip through her own hide. However, she was too weak to hurt herself, and even Joni only had some shallow scratches. Vasara charged at Jesse and bowled her over. But even as he moved he felt his joints burn terribly with every movement. And as Jesse fell with a thud, Vasara could feel her pain in the back of his own head. He continued to claw at her, and like Nadya he could feel claws dig into his own flesh as he dug them into Jesse's. Both Jona and Jesse don't seem too hurt considering they just felt the full brunt of Bear's might, but they are not unscathed either. Jesse has long claw-marks in her chest, and is struggling to breathe. Meanwhile, Saxon feels his body twist and snap, although it doesn't look like anyone is touching him. He finally collapses and shifts down to his homid form.
Meanwhile... at the tree stump Zarastaro raised the sword and dug it into Kamut's throat. But he somehow didn't manage to penetrate the thick Garou hide, and Kamut pulled him into a grapple and held him there securely.
"Damnable Shadow Lord!"
The filthy mule was showing his true colours, he had obviously just been stringing them along, that was why he wanted to go in alone. Seeing him clearly now, his corruption was evident, Anna had been a fool to ever think his pleasant demeanour had been anything but a facade.
No-Eyes growled as Anna saw him fighting Zarastaro. No-Eyes jogged alongside her as she moved.
"He knows about the book, he must want it for himself! You must get there before him. Quickly, while they fight, now is your chance!"
It was so close by, Anna could almost feel the pages in her hands, she had to get there!
"Help them, Adran," Starcaller said. "Magic-users are not always our enemies, but they are never our allies. That one has fallen, but he still lives. Pull him to safety, then help the others."
Damage this round: Oh, Saxon does take 2 levels of aggravated damage and is incapacitated. Vasara takes one level of fire damage this turn.
Status: Vasara: 2 lethal and 1 aggravated Anna: 4 aggravated Adran: Healthy Nadya: Healthy Kamut: Healthy

Adran looked up sharply after hearing Starcaller's words, heeding them he rushed over to Saxon and after making sure that he wouldn't cause any more injury to him, slung him up over his gray and white furred shoulder and started running back the way he came.
He mused to himself, "If this is how I can start redeeming myself by saving this Garou, then so be it." He howled out an introduction with, "I am Adran, Galliard Child of Gaia, and I will help you." Without waiting for a response, Adran took off running back towards the site of his rite with Saxon's limp body on his shoulders.

Joni saw the werewolf slash at her, but was thankful for what Jesse had just given her for protection. She grinned at Nadys and spit in her face remarking, "You could do better than that you know." She shot away from Nadys towards Zarastaro.
Jesse looked down at the wounds Vasara had made on her, and then smiled with relief that she would be ok to go. She concentrated for a moment before quipping to Vasara, "Dodge This" and leveling her shotgun right in his chest and blasting him with it.

Nadya only grins back, stupid human doesn't know who she's dealing with. Nadya lets the human turn, knowing that she will be an easier target if she doesn't see the attack coming, then kicks out with one foot then the other in two rapid sweeps. She might not be able to hurt the human easily, but she can put it on the floor. Knowing she hasn't the strength to kill the human the normal way, Nadya folllows after her whether she hits the ground or not, and clamps her hands around her. Once she has a grip, Nadya takes a deep breath then begins to choke the life out of the human.
((split action three ways for two sweep attacks and one grapple, willpower into the grapple, rage to clinch - choke (just going for asphyxiation, not damage)))

The creature is obviously going to fight to the death, so Kamut doesn't hesitate to keep attacking rather than trying to make it submit. He sinks his teeth into the beast's flesh and tries to tear apart what life it has left. He puts Anna's approach out of mind, obviously she's going for the book since he's otherwise indisposed.
((just clinch with teeth, if he escapes before kamut's turn abort to another grapple attempt))

Finally, she was there. Anna looked up at No-Eyes with a smile, although he couldn't see it. "I have it," she said, just before she reached out and picked up the book. She looked down and examined it.

Someone was howling something, but Vasara was way too busy to concentrate on anything like that. He had enemies to beat and he hoped that rest of the pack was not dead yet.
Girl was under Vasara, so shotgun or not, she would not be getting back up. Vasara gorged the girl under him with serie of savage rakes and bites. This battle had proven to be really close, and he needed to bring at least someone down on the side of the enemy too.
((Basic action :Split 2 claws at girl pinned under him; use 2 Rage: extra claw at her and extra bite with penalties for too many actions.))

Zarastaro felt the jaws of Kamut clamp onto his neck, but he just relaxed and let his blood take over for him. He willed the pores on his neck in Kamut's mouth to secrete acid from them and burn Kamut's jaws from his body.

As Kamut started to squeeze the man in his grip, a strange clear liquid started to pour from his skin. It burned Kamut terribly and even as he continued to squeeze, he roared in pain as the acidic bile burnt his skin. Out of the corner of his eye, it saw Anna open the book, and it gave him a horrible sense of dread for some reason.
Vasara's continued his assault on Jesse, despite the pain burning in his joints whenever he moved, and the claws ripping into his own flesh every time he attacked. It only took one hit to take the life out of her though. Joni stopped at once, somehow knowing that Jesse had fallen, and without a warning she disappeared into thin air in an instant, like she had stepped sideways. Nadya was left with a parting gift, and like Saxon, she felt her bones snap and her muscles tear. But it was only for an instant, and it was gone when Joni was.
Adran placed Saxon gently on the ground where he had performed his rite. He knew this was a safe place, he could leave him here for now. He rushed back to the scene.
No-Eyes was so right, he stood at Anna's side smiling as he looked into the book with her, blank sockets staring into the darkness beyond. Anna saw the shadows come out to her and embrace her, her vision shrouded in black became clearer still. Suddenly, everything was in sparkling clarity, and No-Eyes had been the only one telling her the truth all along. They all lied, everyone had lied to her, every day, every word. It had all been lies upon lies upon lies.
They all deserved everything coming to them.
"Home sweet home, I miss it." No-Eyes said, as he looked into the darkness that was so familiar to him.
"The place you see is where all Black Spiral Dancers go, it shows us the truth that you've hidden from for so long. What truth do you see Anna? What blessed insight has Malfeas brought to your mind?"
He looked around them, examining the world she perceived.
"Is it Pseulak? Kirijama? Abhorra? Sykora?"
He paused, and smiled. Smug bastard, he'd always known so much too, he'd always been playing with her as well.
"It's Abhorra. She has shown you that we are all filth."
Nadya takes 3 levels of aggravated damage. Kamut takes 4 levels of aggravated damage. Both gain rage. Both manage not to frenzy. Anna gains rage. Never look at the creepy book. Never!

Adran rushed back into the battle to see Vasara stand over the eviscerated body of Jesse. He turned to Vasara and said, "I heard the sounds of battle, I came to aid you and your friend is safe at my campsite. Is there any other way I can aid you?"
He looked at Zarastaro and then at Anna and said, "We should get the Garou by the book and get her out of here. Injured as she is, she would be safer while you two combated the last guy."
He waited for a response from Vasara before continuing on.

"Huhwhat?!" Vasara mumbled at sudden appearance of Adran as he still held the mangled corpse of Jesse in his claws and definitely did not intend to let Kamut stand on his own fighting so he could do some chatting with stranger. "Get her out! Kill the Wyrm!" Vasara roared in Mother's Tongue as he launched himself at creepy guy that made Kamut roar in pain.
"Anna! What the hell are you doing!" he roared as he slammed against creepy guy.
((ooc: bodyslam to Zarastaro, abort to block using Jesse's corpse if attacked. Use 2 Rage: Claw and Claw.))

"No," Anna tried to tear herself away from the horrible book. She closed her eyes and screamed, but it turned into a roar in her Crinos form. With her claws she ripped the book to shreds. Nobody should have to look at the evil within. She wished she hadn't, but it was too late now.
(Spend willpower to... resist things)
