Hands of Mercy glances across the field before lining up his shot. Not seeing anything coming for him yet, he draws back Forest's Hunger, and sends a living arrow hurtling towards the bane. Without any real idea where to target a crab, he just aims for any gap in the armour he can see, then swiftly brings another arrow to the string.

B*stard F****r Saxon snarled as the pain tore through him. He was caught and caught good, but then again so was the Bane. The pincer was right in front of him and he could hardly miss could he.
Saxon tore at the pincer, trying to crack it apart.

Snarl was done and now the beast should be a little tamer. Vasara saw Saxon pinned and charged. "Saxon's hurt! Prepare for healing!" he roared to the fire support.
He rammed his body against the Bane and tried to tear chinks out of its armour.

Anna flinched as the bane impaled Saxon. She lowered the bow at once and shifted to Crinos before jumping into the pit after them. It felt good to finally let the rage loose, and she gave a snarl while she grew into her warform. Once there, she tried to pry the pincer out of Saxon's torso so she could heal him.

Hands of Mercy felt Forest's Hunger come alive in his grip, and he let the arrow loose. It was hard to miss the massive bane, even in the darkness. But hitting a specific place on the moving bane was more difficult. He saw his arrow hit the side, but not pierce the armour and take hold.
Vasara charged with the rage and strength of a bear, and raked his claw across the bane's armour. He dug his claw deep and ripped part of the armour straight off. He could see the place where the armour was removed clearly from here, but knew the archers would have trouble hitting it. He tried to keep clawing at it, but in the darkness and rough terrain, it was difficult to hit the same spot again, and he didn't hurt it as much as he'd hoped.
Saxon tore at the bane's claw, but all he managed to do was scratch the surface. David managed to hold the pincer down long enough for Anna to pry Saxon off it though. He was straining with the exertion of holding it down, but with the help of the warwolf's jaw, they kept it in place and incapable of swiping again. Saxon felt a renewed jolt of pain as Anna pulled him free, but she somehow managed not to do him further damage.
Kamut glanced Vasara aim to weaken the armour, and knew what to do. He aimed for the hole that Vasara had created. It was still too tough for the arrow to take hold, and Vasara saw the arrow hit the bane, but not pierce its hide.
The bane swiped the second pincer at Vasara, and he turned to block he but needn't have bothered. The power of the Raven Banner was now apparent. The same bane which seconds earlier had no trouble skewering Saxon and lifting him off his feet could now barely hit Vasara, who was standing inches from him.

David nodded at the warwolf for his help and let go of the pincer to start his own attack up. He let his rage out into a full fury, aiming at the hole Vasara had open up. He kept some presence of mind to dodge if needed, but this had to end quickly.
(Claw, rage to claw, rage to claw)

Hands of Mercy again sweeps his gaze across the field as he brings his bow to the string. He can't afford to get jumped, though the banner should disrupt any attempts at stealth by the Wyrm's minions just as well as their attempts at combat. Still seeing no inbound threats, he looses another living arrow towards the bane.
((Same again, please Bob.))

With Saxon free, the war wolf let go of the pincer too and let it thrash wildly. With another snarl it turned towards the bane itself and raked both its claws across the side, pulling off the armour too.
Even though its armour was damaged, the bane was still unhurt. All the Garou running around it were like flies that needed a serious swatting. So it struck out its pincers, attempting to knock out all three of David, Anna and Saxon in one hit.

Saxon staggered back, pain and adrenaline flooded his system as the Crab had got him good. “Thanks.” He gasped out to Ann and the others and then shook his head.
He saw the pincer coming and readied himself to dodge and then attack.

Anna held on to Saxon for a moment longer, letting her spiritual energy heal his gaping chest wound. They would need their full strength to wear down the bane, and he was their strongest fighter.
"Go for the armour," she said as she let go of him, and stepped back to leave the pit.

Vasara smiled at the claw that failed to connect, and again tore with both hands to the armour of the Bane. They needed larger openings to break this foe, and by Gaia, Vasara was dedicated on making those openings.

As he stepped away, Saxon felt Anna touch him with Bear's gift and the hole in his chest healed up, leaving some ugly painful scars. But he could now fight with his full strength again. The pack finally seemed to have found its stride. Saxon and Vasara, with their combined strengths, pulled off another piece of the bane's armour and David followed up by ripping out a large chunk of the bane itself from the unprotected area. He and Vasara continued to wear it down, clawing at the same spot which now seemed to have very little resistance. The warwolf ripped away a large chunk of the bane's armour too, but he wasn't targetting the same area as Vasara and Saxon.
The bane hissed in pain and swiped its pincer at all of them, attempting to knock them over. It seemed to be having trouble coordinating, and all it managed to do was knock into Anna. But its force was so strong it knocked her right across the pit, dazing her as she hit the ground.
Hands of Mercy and Kamut continued to provide the ranged assault, and although their arrows struck the bane, they once again failed to take hold. They could clearly see the armour-free areas now though, although they would be hard to hit. Both Hands of Mercy and Kamut realised they had company. A large Crinos wolf gliding on slimy leathery wings was coming their way. She glided a few metres above the ground, and like them, she carried a bow.
Anna heals Saxon for 4 damage. Anna takes 4 bashing damage and is stunned. David, Saxon and Vasara gain 1 willpower point each for a perfectly executed fur gnarl. Archers can target the armour-free areas at difficulty 10. Hand-to-hand fighters can target them at difficulty 9.

Seeing his bow having little effect on the bane, and another creature winging its way towards him, Hands of Mercy changes tack. His job was to stay alive while the war-pack killed the bane, and with an airbourne foe approaching, he would be better attempting to kill that before it started putting arrows into him. He draws back his bow and looses a shot in the direction of the flying creature, this time concentrating a little more carefully as it's a smaller, faster target than the bane.
((Full action to shoot the bugger, activated shot again.))

"Oh you filthy son of a whore! I will take you down and break that precious little bow of yours above your still-breathing body you worthless mule!" Leechwife cackled and went down to get behind cover of the rubble before the Banner-bearer could shoot her down.

Anna blinked, dazed, but didn't sit around for long. Her job was to protect Hands of Mercy and right now, she was failing miserably. She picked herself up. A few bumps and bruises weren't going to slow her down significantly. She readied the bow and arrow, and looked around for the flying Crinos.
