Cujo stands by the Rangers, looking about as comfortable as he did here Tuesday night.

Dakota stands next to Cujo, checking her fingernails.

Heartsight lowers her muzzle, eyes brimming with silver, and claws click together as fingers flex.

Luna-Singer grips the knife tighter and shifts slightly in her crouch.

Jabs has had about enough waiting and waiting. He's as anxious as a Garou gets without completely losing it. He's bouncing back and forth from gigundous foot to gigundous foot.

Falcon's Wing lurks somewhere in the shadows, near his pack.

Nightflash paces a short distance inside the building. The rage he built up the previous day has not left him, and the ahroun looks unusually eager for battle.

Collin's tongue lolls out. He stays tensed, ready, glancing towards Sassafras and then Mountain's-Peak before he looks back to the front of him, just waiting.

Stormcloud is just sitting there inside, watching his alpha pace. Obviously, however, he does not like being here.

Heartsight merely stands where she is, letting the heightening rage around her wash around, over, through her, adding fuel to the fire that burns barely contained within.

Defends-Wolves is crouched near the door, muscles tensed as he awaits the arrival of the foes.

The wait indeed seems long to those inside. No noise indicates that the spirits are yet outside.

The Fostern Walker takes the opportunity to shift up to Crinos (Since the player was a ditz and didn't do so earlier). At least her fur's growing back.

All around the Garou, the spirits perch on every nook and cranny. Most are trying to give the Garou room, but there just isn't much. As a pigeon flies away from the two-foot roach jaggling, it runs into Cujo's back.

Cujo starts and lunges at the bird, lightning fast, snarling as the tension flows from stasis into action.

Blur Grrl apparently has been listening to loud and edgy music today, as the small Gnawer seems to occassionally come forth with a murmured lyric under her breath, tapping her foot as well as 'fidgiting' from side to side.

Heartsight crouches down, a checked growl easing out as a quiet whine, hackles raised as muscles tense, ready to attack.

Luna-Singer takes a moment to eye the gathered spirits, then settles down on one knee for now, sitting as still as possible given the tension in the air.

Cujo's actions cause a small flurry of spirits to try to get anywhere further away from him. Garou ankles and legs are brushed as there's a tiny stampede.

Moon Otter moves a rust-pitted broadsword from his clawed, right hand to his non-dominant left hand. Having already raked his claws over the ground, he simply waits for the inevitable--tense from the full of the moon.

Night's-Justice crouches, waiting. He's nervous, that much is obvious. His handsa clench and unclench quietly.

You paged Night's-Justice, Drives, and Luna-Singer with 'Sarge comes again. *Good. Coming!*'.

Black Water watches the actions of those closest to her warily. She, too, is ready to break her demeanor of dead calm, thanks to the tension without, and within.

Drives looks toward the door. ~Incoming. Be ready.~

Stormcloud gets to his feet with a starts, snarling as finally he let's show Luna's influence over him as the small stampede passes him by.

Cujo pulls back before slapping Otter with his claws, missing the bird entirely. He grunts sheepishly. ~Sorry.~

Collin's form tenses up again. He flexes his fingers, stretching hismelf out. His breathing is a little faster than it was moments ago. Go figure.

Luna-Singer rises back to her crouch, eyes glittering in anticipation.

Black Water stiffens at the 'incoming', and she gets a slight growl to her tribemate.

You paged Moon Otter, Defends-Wolves, Night's-Justice, and Drives with 'You hear the sounds of hooves hitting pavement outside, and the more muffled noise of heavy, padded feet.'.

Clouded Sky licks her muzzle, smoothing back her whiskers. She tenses, lowering her bulky form as far as it will go.

Heartsight tenses further, clawed hands drifting forward, ready for the pounce.

Mountain's-Peak snarls silenly, lips pulling back from dagger-sized teeth.

Night's-Justice's ears perk up. ~Theeeeyyy'rrreee heeerrrree.~

Drives shifts in preparation for pouncing, holding the mysterious talen in one hand and watching the door intently.

Collin smacks Night's-Justice on the back of the head, lightly. ~Leave those references to me.~

In the near-silence of the room, after Night's-Justice makes his announcement, the muffled war bugle of an equine comes from the alley outside.

Defends-Wolves tenses even more, muttering to those around him. ~Here they come.~

Jabs assumes the classic Wolverine pose: knees bent, claws astride them, feral, almost demonic, smile glinting in the eerie theurgey light.

Heartsight's tongue flicks out, licking at her teeth, lips drawn far back.

Black Water crouches, keeping tight to the group she's with.

Luna-Singer tenses, ready to spring, teeth bared and gleaming in the light coming from the knife in her clawed hand.

Something heavy slams into the wall, shaking the curtains and other hangings. More of the Garou hear the other sounds of scuffling outside.

Moon Otter crouches slightly, preparing for battle. He makes a motion for silence. This is, after all, supposed to be a surprise attack.

Heartsight ears flatten back, toes digging claws into the wood in preparation, her body trembling as she does her best to hold still.

Nightflash lunges for the door. ~Now! Go! Go!~

Blur Grrl nudges both of her proto-packmates, Collin and Mountain's-Peak. ~Stay together."

Black Water's ears pull back as she obeys Otter's motion.

Stormcloud doesn't hesitate, following his alpha immediately as he shifts up to the near-wolf.

Falcon's Wing follows his Alpha, silently snarling.

Defends-Wolves starts at the door at his Alpha's order, claws extended as he prepares for the upcoming battle.

At the sound of the Go!, the World's Smallest Gnawer is a blur of motion, both from her gift and from natural quickness. Small enough to weave through the spirit chaos, she gets the door open for the rest to go.

Heartsight leaps, but not at the door. Instead, the lithe young Garou sails for a window that leads out to where the others are spilling out through the door.

As the Garou round the corner, they see a tableau reminiscient of the Umbra fights they missed the night the power plant exploded. The Gaian totems are outnumbered by their foes, who have already dealt them damage. Near the wall of the Rialto, Razor clings to a humanoid creature with a death grip. As the two fight, they slam against the wall with dull crashing noises. Jade has flow up out of reach, and an enormous rotting spider has reared on its hind four legs and is casting webbing at her. Sarge's squat form and Eclipse's tawny hide are almost hidden behind the three humanoid banes besetting them. Toward the far side of the alley from the Rialto, a grey unicorn rears on his hind legs, striking his forehooves at two more.

~Fuck this~, the MexiGnawer grunts, stomping over to the window Heartsight popped out. He grabs a window handle and opens it, swinging the large (broken) window out and hopping up on the sill, leaping out into the umbral street.

Moon Otter waits a moment so multiple Garou don't plug into the doorway or window like a hairball clogs a sink or bathtub drain. As he does move forward, he throws a pebble towards the two banes attacking the unicorn avatar as a silvery glow begins to envelope his body. Black Water, Cujo, and Sky exit through the doorway with him. ~To Eclipse,~ he orders, storming towards Forest Howl's Echo's harried Cougar avatar.

Nightflash heads immediately in the direction of his pack's totem, planning to help Reisig deal with the pair attacking it. He gives a short howl that ends in a snarl, a battle cry meant to attract attention as he speeds toward the scrags. Falcon's Wing charges after his Alpha, caution apparently forgotten in the heat of the moment, sticking to Nightflash's left. Defends-Wolves follows after his Alpha, also heading for the unicorn spirit. A howl emerges from his throat as he prepares to rake his claws at the nearest of the two banes. Wolf-Bear follows behind the rest of the pack, neither snarling or howling. This is a hunt to him and such noise isn't really him, but ready for battle he is. Eyes-of-a-Child takes the rear, following his raging packmates, watching their backs for any oppurtunistic banes who want to jump the determined wolves' backs.

Jabs tears across the ground as he takes in the scene, claws and teeth flashing as they reach for the humanoid creature locked in combat with Razor, a hit and run strategy. Heartsight follows up, a furious slashing of claws to the other side of the creature, in the hopes of distracting the thing long enough for Razor to gain the upper hand.

A mass of Garou flows into action, Luna-Singer at the fore, howling her fury as she comes to Sarge's defense, with Collin blurring and running up with all his speed to attack one's side with his claws. Night's-Justice follows with the others in his squad, claws bared, slashing at whatever he comes closest to while Drives uses the talen he was given on the biggest and baddest of the banes besieging Sarge. Blur Grrl launches herself at the rotting spider, jumping on it and attempting to jab her claws into its head and use her gift of element creation to send rock down thru its brain Mountain's-Peak remains to the rear of the pack for now, seeking an opportunity to go for the Banes backside as the pack closes in to attack.

The full moon shines an impersonable face down on the fight as the Garou join the fray. Nightflash and Falcon's Wing move with their totem's speed to strike the furthest bane nearly simultaneously. Tattered clothing rips from the scrag's thin lips as their claws strike, but it has time to turn and stab a clawed hand at Nightflash's throat. It slides off the fur, but penetrates the shoulder and rips down deep in the muscle. Defends-Wolves attacks the other ghoul on his pack totem, ripping across its back. The creature whips around, eyes glowing red. Just then, the pebble tossed by Moon Otter explodes, piercing Dreamrunners and scrags alike with ice shards. Over near the wall, Edge moves to help its totem. Unfortunately, the weasel's very efforts make it hard for the pack to help, and Heartsight's blow misses. Jabs, however, finds an opening, and he rips skin and cloth from the back of the scrag. The reinforcements toward Eclipse find themselves stalled by Cavall rushing toward Sarge. Cavall and their allies seem to tear well into the two of the three ghouls, however, just as Sarge locks onto the hamstring of the third. Drives does not attack but lobs a small object. It strikes the ghoul that Collin clawed, and the creature freezes in place. Its eyes glow with sullen anger as it looks for the talen wielder. Sass, alone, leaps on the back of the spider with unnatural height to her bound. Only a few grains of sand dribble from her palms, though, as the spider gives up its attack on the flying serpent and lands back on the ground. Blur Grrl is jarred but does not fall.

Defends-Wolves' howl grows louder and more high pitched as his claws rake into the nearest target. In this case, it's the ahroun in front of him that receives the fury of his rage-fueled strikes.

Heartsight moves to allow Jabs' pass, and the larger Edger whirls, snarling as he lunges again for another strike, cutting low at the creature's legs. The younger packmember attempts to edge her way in, Heartsight's teeth laying claim to the bane's shoulder.

Blur Grrl tears into the spider's head and any eyes she can reach with a flurry of jabs, rends, claws and tears, holding on tight. Drives goes into frenzy, attacking the paralyzed ghoul with all the abandon that frenzy entails. Luna-Singer goes after the remaining one to finish it off completely with Mountain's Peak to back her up. Collin and Night's Justice go to assist Sarge with the one whose hamstring the totem has.

Forest Howl's Echo and its two temporary additions move to intercept the humanoid banes harassing the Cougar avatar. Otter, Black Water, Sky, and Cujo use a rather straightforward tactic: they charge directly towards the nearest bane they can get at and attack it. Black Water uses her claws. Otter uses his right hand to claw and the sword-wielding left hand to block. Cujo, Black Water, and Cujo tear in with their claws.

Falcon's Wing snarls, continuing his assault on the spirit, ~Fuck /you/,~ and dives downwards, slashing with amazing speed for both hamstrings and further upwards. Perhaps he's learning from his absent Fury packmate. Nightflash ignores the pain of multiple wounds. Rage lends speed to his attacks this time. He bears down on the bane with his weight, raking front claws down its chest while his teeth seek purchase in its foul hide. Wolf-Bear throws himself at the same bane that the rest of Dreamrunners that have their faculties are attacking, throwing his full weight into the being to put it on the ground. Eyes-of-a-Child catches the betrayal quickly and with obvious regret and pain, turns on Defends-Wolves, moving to wrap his arms around the wild Child and subduing him.

The weasel and his children continue to rip at the scrag. Jabs' claws strike bone and glance off with little damage, but Heartsight now has the clear shot she earlier missed, and she nearly rips the creature's bony arm from its body with her teeth. Black ichor pours from her mouth. Blur Grrl is at a tactical disadvantage, being alone on the six-foot spider. She manages to rip at the rotting flesh of its head, but it tosses her from its back and stabs her belly with its taloned foreleg. The spider withdraws its leg and waves its jaws menacingly. Eclipse is trading swipes with one of the scrags when the wave of Forest's Howl's Echo and friends hits it from behind. Only Moon Otter and Black Water can reach it under the cramped conditions, and it turns to howl its rage at the group in a hollow voice. After its howl, though, the two fostern begin ripping into it. Seirian and Mountain's Peak don't find it so easy to finish the scrag, as it returns favor for favor with a vicious bite that rips part of Luna-Singer's shoulder. Drives' frenzy has disastrous results for both parties. Black ichor flies, but so does red, warm blood. Unhampered by his wounds, Drives attacks on. Luna's protection stands Nightflash in good stead as his packmate frenzies on his back, and Casper has difficulty subduing the frenzied Garou. Defends-Wolves turns on a new target. The second scrag rips into Stormcloud's right shoulder, and the badly healed bone snaps under its attack. Behind it, though, Reisig drives his horn into its chest with a vengeful snort.

Additionally, Collin and Night's Justice close on the one with Sarge. Between the three, its form is starting to look a little over-tattered, but it claws deep into the Glasswalker in return.

Nightflash doesn't even look back, counting on one of his packmates to distract whatever it is that attacked him from behind. He concentrates on the bane in front of him, moving with amazing speed this time. Teeth and claws snap and slash in a blur. Falcon's Wing continues to support his more doughty packmate, going low where Nightflash goes high, ripping at the thing's nether regions. Wolf-Bear gets knocked as he rams into the bane, causing him to land oddly and causing an audible *snap* as his leg breaks. forced somewhat now to shift up to crinos, he turns his full attention at the bane that just attacked him from behind. Eyes-of-a-Child is having a difficult time with his frenzying packmate. He aims blows for his face repeatedly, a glimmer of solid determination declouding his eyes and quickly fuelling his resolve.

Now in close proximity, Black Water attempts to chop down at a vulnerable part of the skrag and hold on for dear life. Otter, still glowing faintly with Luna's light, takes another slash at the same bane--right as Cujo attacks the Shadow Lord from behind. The Slord turns sideways in an attempt to fend off any more surprise attacks with his rusted sword while not presenting too much of an opportunity for the nearby skrag. Clouded Sky, seeing no opportunity to engage the skrag, is about to go help out with the rotting spider when Cujo's attacks on her packmate take her by surprise.

Flame on! That's the Littlest Gnawer's attack as she turns her create element gift on the spider's menacing little fangs, this time with fire. Night's-Justice backs away fron the bane to leave room for Forest Howl's Echo and friends, Collin dropping down to slash it's leg out from under it and back away from it's claws, leaving Sarge to finish it off. Drives continues his frenzy unabated, regardless of his target. Luna-Singer snarls at the pain in her right shoulder and raises the light-shedding knife in a shaking hand. Clasping the blade in both hands, she plunges it towards the scrag's upper body while Mountain's-Peak continues to attack it.

Between Falcon's Wing and Nightflash, the first scrag is ripped to pieces. It leaves the Gaian ahroun one last parting gift, slashing down his side and ripping muscle and fat from the bone around the right hip. For children of Unicorn, Eyes-of-a-Child and Defends-Wolves are causing a lot of damage to each other. The Gaian theurge tears his Stargazer packmate in the face, ripping the cheek loose and flapping. Gritting his exposed teeth against the pain, Casper punches Defends-Wolves twice in the face. The second hit blossoms Defends-Wolves nose into gouts of blood. The remaining scrag takes a swipe at Stormcloud while he shifts into a two-legged form, but does only superficial damage against the lupus. Luna's defense stands another backstabbed Garou in good stead as Moon Otter takes only superficial damage from Cujo's first blow. Moving with his own supernatural speed, the Shadow Lord ragabash manages to parry the next claw aimed for his head. Where the blade does cut into Cujo's arm, the movement leaves Moon Otter more open for the next attack, which comes with the blinding speed of an ahroun that cannot control his rage or actions. Still, the gift protects Moon Otter, and he takes relatively little damage. Dakota and the cougar spirit indeed manage to visit some loving care on their scrag, and it blesses Black Water in return, cutting into her left arm. Clouded Sky remains next to a frenzied Cujo: a bad proposition. As to the spider, those menacing fangs are not that little. The fire does scorch it, leaving the appetizing scent of burning flesh, but it clamps down with those burning jaws and begins to squeeze. Blood floods from Sass's nose and mouth as the spirit presses on things it shouldn't. Badly wounded, Night's Justice wisely tries to retreat. The scrag lashes out again as he does, knocking him bleeding to the ground. Collin does get a free shot with this tactic, pulling off more flesh from the bones. Sarge growls and tightens his hold on its leg.

To the far side, Razor and his pack finish off their battle. At the same time, Mountain's Peak distracts the leering ghoul from Luna-Singer and takes a claw swipe down her side. Both Garou hit their target, though Luna-Singer's attack seems weaker than before, now that her weapon arm is injured.

Drives continues to frenzy on his target, headless of the wounds that would have slowed him to stopping in his right mind. Alone on his target, there is nothing to distract the bane from dealing the killing blow. The Bone Gnawer theurge falls to one side as the scrag claws up and through his stomach, spilling his innards to the ground. BJ returns to homid form as life leaves him in a rush of blood and intestines.

Cujo continues his frenzied attacks on elements of Forest Howl's Echo. Clouded Sky does the only thing she can, with her packmate under attack. She reaches out with jaws and claws to hamstring the mindless Glass Walker. Otter steps and circles, putting distance between himself and the skrag so he can concentrate on the ahroun attacking him. He takes a defensive stance, waiting for an opportunity to fake high and swing low--on the side Clouded Sky isn't attempting to chew on--with the sword at the ahroun's legs. Black Water growls as her arm is hit, and she returns with another clawing attack at the skrag. She attempts to draw its attention more towards her, hoping to leave the bane open to Eclipse's attacks from behind.

Falcon's Wing doesn't even take the time to stomp on his kill, instead whirling to confront the scrag buffeting Stormcloud. Again, he goes low, aiming to tear upwards. The frenzied Gaian continues to slash at Casper's face mindlessly even as the blood pours from his mangled nose. Nightflash pauses just long enough to look around and take stock of the situation. As he does so, the ahrouns wounds heal over, fading almost entirely. Wolf-Bear lets his rage burn a little free as he attempts to rend and tear the bane on him into kibbles and bits. Eyes-of-a-Child grows desperate and rage pushes at his finely crafted walls of reason. Blood seeps into his eye and somehow this triggers a volley of claw slashes to Defends-Wolves abdomen. The high-pitched growl he lets loose is truly strange.

Luna-Singer pulls the knife back and half-flings it to the side, catching sight of her downed packmates in the process. Howling in anger and grief, she circles around to the back of the bane she's been attacking and leaps onto it, tearing into it with claws fueled by her rage. Mountain's-Peak exerts all of her rage and attempts to slash the thing to bits. Blur Grrl tries desperately to get away, hollering up at Jade to help her, knowing the totem is up there somewhere. Collin rushes over, trying to catch the spider at a slightly diagonal angle to avoid being directly exposed to it, using his claws and legs to cling and attack it with the strength of his rage.

Moon Otter continues to take buffeting blows from the enraged Glass Walker, though one blow widely misses as the ragabash ducks to one side. His dark coat is flecked with blood, but amazingly he's still standing. Cujo takes attacks in return as Clouded Sky clamps onto his leg and dodges his instinctive swipe down to remove her. Not enough to slow him down in his current state, but he does have a good weight hanging onto one leg now. Dakota attempts to dodge the ghoul's attack as well, after firing off a clawing manuveur of her own. The Glass Walker moves the wrong way, however, and ends up getting clawed again, this time down the side of the face. The cougar spirit does her own clawing, ripping into the scrag's unprotected back. Collin vaults over toward Sassafras and attempts to climb up the spider's side. He doesn't land on top of it, but he does manage to distract it into dropping the limp Bone Gnawer to the ground and turning on him. It opens its jaws and fires webbing at the nimble Silent Strider. It clings to his fur. To the side, another pair of Garou dance the frenzy dance, as Casper grimly tries to take down his packmate. His wounds hamper him from doing so, though he manages through force of will to claw his packmate across the belly. Defends-Wolves drops, unconscious, his face a mask of blood. To their other side, the Red Talon and the Silver Fang attack the ghoul in tandem. Falcon's Wing takes a claw for his pains, but Stormcloud is uninjured as the pair press the attack. Reisig also drives his blooded horn into the creature again, trumpting his cry. Sarge seems to fall into frenzy himself as Drives falls, and he and his scrag exchange a flurry of attack. Luna-Singer and Mountain's Peak do a lot of damage between the two of them, especially under the rage-fueled claws of the Fianna. Still, the lupus takes a deep wound in the shoulder that tears down to bone. The bane that killed BJ doesn't have long to savor its victory, as suddenly dozens of rats spill out of the open window of the Rialto and swarm its form. Dozens of biting mouths avenge Mama Rat's loss as the scrag staggers, trying to crush the horde.

Falcon's Wing snarls, ~Get outta my life,~ and rips at it again, intent on disembowling it with extreme prejudice. Nightflash looks around. Finding the nearest scrag surrounded by his packmates and his totem, and seeing that Defends-Wolves has finally been put down, he charges for the nearest threat: the spider. Wolf-Bear continues his attacks with no small amount of savagery. If he manages a hold on the bane, he just pick it up and beat it upon the ground until dead. If not, claw it to bits. Eyes-of-a-Child falls down to his knees as Defends-Wolves falls into darkness. He lay shaking hands on his wounded packmate to heal him.

Black Water falters a bit after the hit to the face, but with a growl of fury, she launches herself back into the attack, continuing to occupy the scrag's front, while Eclipse continues her assault on the scrag's undefended back. Cujo, still frenzied, continues his attempts to fell Moon Otter. Clouded Sky, jaws latched firmly onto Cujo's leg, waits for an opportunity to pull him off balance. Otter steps back a pace, allowing him to gain the advantage of reach that his rusted broadsword allows over the frenzied ahroun's arms and speed. He looks to inflict damage this way while avoiding it himself, or run the ahroun through should he divert his attentions to the hispo chewing through his leg.

Luna-Singer attacks the bane with redoubled fury, howling her packmate's names as she adds her back feet to the mass of rage-fueled claws, trying to rip out the thing's spine if she can. Wounded, Mountain's-Peak drops back and out of the fray, joining the ranks of those unable to fight. Hoping that Nightflash's arrival with distract the Spider again, Collin pushes himself away from it, going for Sassafras to quickly get her away from the mandibles, as well as himself. He's moving, still, with the speed fueld by Rage.

The Silver Fang's claws bite deep as he strikes with Luna's speed. Stormcloud manages to grab the scrag, even with one arm useless for controlling its struggles. He strikes it against the ground twice, snarling. It manages to claw up his back as the Red Talon does this, but it dissipates on the second blow, leaving only a stain of black ichor on Stormcloud's hands. Nightflash, now fully healed, uses his speed to join battle with the spider threatening Collin. His claws rake great furrows in the rotted meat of its side, and it again spits white webbing at Collin, who has bent to drag the unconscious Sassafras away. More strands catch in Collin's fur, until he's nearly coated. Between Black Water and the cougar totem spirit, they tear the scrag to pieces. Eclipse gives a hoarse cry of victory, though the scrag's final blow wounded her badly. Moon Otter manages to slice into Cujo this time, helped by a timely move on Clouded Sky's part. The enraged ahroun doesn't seem to notice that he's missing three fingers on his left hand, though, as he reaches for another blur of attacks on the Shadow Lord elder. Only one lands, and does only superficial damage. The Fianna galliard screams her packmate's name like weapons, though her physical attack does more damage. Unfortunately, so do the spirit's claws. Luna-Singer is thrown back as a claw sinks in deep right above her left nipple and tracks up to her jawline. The wound seals as rage floods her eyes, but it isn't enough to raise her from where she falls to the ground. The scrag moves in for the kill--just as Razor leaps onto it and presses it back. To the back, Sarge and his scrag are still going to town, and BJ's killer is paying for his crime bite by rat-sized bite.

To the back, perhaps twenty feet back is a rat-covered scrag and a Sarge-covered scrag and a Razor-covered scrag. The Razor-covered scrag is closest. The spider is the only other thing left, and it's ended up to the other side of the Garou fray, but only by about ten or fifteen feet.

John slips back into breed form as Casper heals him. His mouth hangs open when he sits up, looking like a newly hooked fish for a moment. His eyes swivel around the area as he tries to reassess the situation. Nightflash leaps onto the back of the spider bane, using both front and rear claws to rip its hide from its back. Falcon's Wing snarls in something resembling triumph, and looks around wildly. While Razor's scrag looks attractive, his packmate looks even better, so he lopes at speed over toward the spider. Eyes-of-a-Child finishes healing his packmate and then sees another wounded. He presses his hand to his wounded face and hobbles over to Stormcloud, calling out, ~I heal you... now... Come here.~ He outstretches fingers on his free hand and moves to the large Talon.

Moon Otter takes another step step back, hissing cat-like at the still-frenzied ahroun, and doing precisely what he did earlier once again--taking a step back in hope that he can hack with his broadsword and stay just out of reach of those claws. Sky continues chewing on the ahroun's leg, hindering his progress and ability to move. Black Water frowns a bit in concern at the hit Eclipse took, but she turns around to aim a hard hit to the back of her tribemate's head, in hopes that it will knock him out. Eclipse, ever the relentless warrioress, moves to intervene against the frenzied Glasswalker.

Luna-Singer wisely does not try to get back up, instead curling over to protect her injury. Collin continues in his efforts to drag Sass to relative safety.

The spider rears on its back four legs again, spitting a last glob of webbing at Collin before Nightflash literally guts it. The ahroun is covered in rotting flesh up to his elbows, until the spirit starts to fade away. Collin, however, is frozen in place like a poorly dressed mime, his face almost comical in its panic. Sarge finally prevails over his target, though holes are rent in the stout dog spirit on every side. Limping, he makes his slow way back to BJ's corpse. Moon Otter's luck finally runs out, and Cujo's impassioned lunge breaks through the ragabash's guard and lets the ahroun score. Eclipse distracts him, however, as she leaps toward his face with heavy paws unvelveted. Cujo gets one full blow on the cougar that starts to tumble her to the side, before she fades away into air. Forest Howl's Echo feels their link fade. At the same time as this setback, however, Black Water lands her blow and Clouded Sky clamps down with her jaws. Cujo finally drops like a stone, limbs twisted under him with the unelegant fall.

Nightflash again looks for new targets. Failing to find any, he goes to check on his packmates to see if any are in need of healing. Collin isn't going anywhere.

John seems to have recovered his wits well enough to look to any in need of healing as well.

Indeed, in the back, the giant weasel and the rat hordes have finished their work. None of the spirits have escaped untouched, and Razor seems to have lost an ear and part of his tail. Still, he has fared better than the rats. Fewer of them scurry back to the Rialto than swarmed out.

Falcon's Wing looks around for something else to fight, and relaxes only slightly when he sees nothing.

Wolf-Bear settles back onto his haunches, the battle now seemingly over. I am ready to leave now, he announces, speaking in the wolf even in crinos.

Clouded Sky releases her hold on Rik only once she is certain that he will not begin to move again.

Luna-Singer just curls up into a ball of sorts and lays still, eyes staring at BJ's body mournfully.

Black Water glances down at her tribemate and shakes her head. She then looks between Otter and Clouded Sky, uncertain of their reception now that the fight's over.

Warlike howls from the direction of the park herald the arrival of Blackwatch plus Brigid, and Untouchables. Echen is out in front of the two packs, running hard in the direction of the ambush site.

Nightflash wanders around, checking his packmates for severe wounds.

Moon Otter is still standing, though he certainly looks like he shouldn't be. ~Ahrouns,~ he snarls tiredly under his breath. Following this, he bows his head slightly, eyeing the fallen Walker, trying to decide whether to finish the job or get healing for him. The latter prevails. ~Healer! Over here,~ he commands, just as Blackwatch's howl carries into the area.

Falcon's Wing belts out an answering howl, of, at the least, victory.

Black Water seems to echo Otter's statement about Ahrouns, though she's somewhat relieved that a healer was called for. She tilts her head between the two howlers.

Casper heals his packmate before nodding quiet agreement. His own face shows the marks of Garou claws.

Clouded Sky still stares for a moment at the damaged Walker. Blankly, she turns her gaze to her alpha and then pads to his side. The tilt of her head, and drop of her tail read of uncertainty, and something darker.

John shuffles over in the Shadow Lord's direction to tend to his and the Walker's wounds.

Nightflash noses Stormcloud as Casper heals him then sits back as John moves off to attend to Moon Otter. If anyone else needs a healer, they'll ask.

Luna-Singer uncurls enough to try and drag herself over to BJ and Sarge, keeping her eyes also on Bailey's unconscious form.

Moon Otter points John towards the downed Walker first, forgoing healing, and turning to watch for the incoming pack(s) and news of the other fight.

In addition to the moving wounded and Cavall's obvious plight, Collin still stands frozen in webstuff. Sass lies unconscious at his feet, with blood at her mouth.

Nightflash pushes to his feet, having forgotten briefly about Collin. He moves up to the Strider and begins tearing the webs that hold him in place.

Nightflash stops.

Falcon's Wing, not able to heal, shifts down into glabro and pads over to Collin, helping his packmate free the young man.

Ravenfeeder, the farthest thing from a healer, begins moving towards Collin to free him before Nightflash reaches him first. Instead, she swerves, heading to her tribemate to help her along. ~Easy, Luna-Singer.~ A flicker of a glance goes to BJ's body, and she snarls silently through singed fur and puffy burned skin, tinged with sorrow.

Black Water seems anxious as well to hear the news of the other fight. SHe shifts down to Glabro, watching the healer with her tribemate. Occasionally she glances up to Otter and Sky, somewhat concerned.

Cujo manages to open his eyes with a moan after the son of Unicorn lays on his hands.

Wolf-Bear gets healed by Casper a goodly bit, leg mended but still bent, still ready to break again at a moment's notice, and resigns himself to just waiting until someone can lead him out of this god-forsaken scab.

John, finished with the Walker, looks up at Moon Otter quizzically.

Echen sweeps his attention over the tableau, and inhales sharply. ~Move the injured and the dead inside the Rialto,~ he instructs. ~Those who are healthy enough to fight, join us back at the park. We must seal our victory by calling our allies to help us hold what we've bled to take back.~

Reisig raises his head as the large group of Garou rejoin the ambush. Of all the totems still here, he seems the least wounded. Jade slipped away minutes ago.

Moon Otter looks as if he might decline John's implied offer of healing, but at the Alpha's words, simply gives the Gaian a nod of permission--steeling himself for the pain of rapid healing.

Luna-Singer accepts the help with a low whimper, though whether it's from the injury or the loss is certainly hard to tell. ~BJ...~

Heart-of-Fury arrives not long after Ravenfeeder. He gives a nod to Echen and then moves back towards the park. ~We've got a good opening now,~ he says, roughly, eyeing the muck and carnage at the ambush site.

Falcon's Wing finishes unspidering Collin and his attention snaps to Echen. The absence of one particular person makes him pause, but he doesn't say anything yet, just helping wounded move to the shelter of the Rialto.

Dakota grumbles, and reaches down to pick up and shift Rik to place him wherever it was they said to place him. "Damn, boy, heavy." She mutters.

Nightflash is, miraculously, unwounded. He seems more than eager to head back to the park.

Thunder-Eater quietly lead the remains of Untouchables back to the Park, where they start an agressive patrol of the Park's borders.

The big ahroun doesn't resist. Cujo pretty much goes where he's told, though he does mumble to Black Water, ~What happened?~

StarEyed takes a look around and curls her clawed hands into fists, nodding and hanging back, ready to return.

Clouded Sky nosebumps a less damaged area on Moon Otter. She growls lowly at Cujo's mutterings.

Wolf-Bear, mostly healed now but sore, frowns at the though of having to stay in this hell-hole, but follows behind his alpha, head lowered, without question.

Dakota glances at Moon Otter and Clouded Sky, and shakes her head. "I'll tell you about it later. Let's just say, you ddin't make any friends tonight."

Falcon's Wing pauses by Brigid to ask her a quiet question.

John finishes with the Shadow Lord and looks for others that might require healing. If there are none, he starts back with his packmates for the park.

Ravenfeeder continues helping Luna-Singer towards the Rialto at Echen's orders, her words low-spoken and serious. ~Dead, but he died defending Gaia, Singer. It will be a story to tell to send his spirit back to the wheel for the next time he is born...~ The words seem to be the smooth, flowing cadences meant to sooth the initial wounds, while she gets the galliard into the theater.

StarEyed looks to Falcon's Wing and answers him tensely, but quietly.

Collin kneels down, quietly, once he's freed. He checks on Sassafras, then goes to put her with the other wounded wordlessly. He lifts one hand and touches the top of his head for a moment, taking a look around at those around.

A bit of tension leaves the Fang Elder's body, and he thanks Brigid quietly before moving off to join his packmates.

Echen surveys the exodus from the alleyway for a few moments, though his attention is caught by Luna-Singer as Ravenfeeder helps her into the Rialto. ~Wait,~ he calls over to the pair, and moves to join them.

Moon Otter grimaces as John finishes using the healing gift on him. He offers a gruff thanks to the CoG as his wounds lessen considerably from the theurge's talents, but not completely. ~Take care of your tribemate and keep him from further trouble,~ he instructs the Walker elder. He motions to Clouded Sky, looking particularly pissy even for his usual self. ~Let us go fortify the glade with the others.~ Still oozing blood from a variety of nearly-healed wounds, the Lord elder stalks towards the nearby park's umbra.

Ravenfeeder pulls up at Echen's quiet command, muzzle swiveling towards him. Something akin to understanding enters her posture, and she loosens her grip on the galliard, waiting for the ahroun to do what she suspects is coming.

Collin pauses. He looks towards Ravenfeeder and Luna-Singer, and Echen. For a change, the Strider is actually silent again. He's been doing that a lot tonight, amazingly enough.

Clouded Sky follows close behind, watching her alpha with some measure of concern.

Luna-Singer half-raises her head at the call, lifting eyes full of pain of two kinds to look at her tribemates.

Echen eyes Luna-Singer's injuries silently for a moment or two, then runs his right hand through the blood still welling up from the deep gash across his abdomen. His expression creases in concentration as he touches his gore-covered hand to Luna-Singer's savaged shoulder: under his touch, her wounds fade considerably, only to reappear on his body. The transfer wrenches the sept alpha to his knees and he gives a sharp cry of pain.

Ravenfeeder snarls involuntarily, her grip on Seirian tightening again as Echen goes to his knees. But after a few moments, she lets go of the galliard completely, and rips a snort, dropping to all four paws. ~Alright, heal up so we can get out of here.~

Collin simply gives a start at that. Nope. That wasn't expected one bit. He shakes his head, probably attempting to clear it, and yanks a bit of webbing off his head. He winces. ~I'm never watching Spider-Man again.~

Echen spits blood onto the ground while the injury -- Luna-Singer's injury -- on his shoulder closes with characteristic speed. ~The worst was Oaken healing Diana that once,~ he mumbles. ~That hurt *me*, just watching it.~

Ravenfeeder's ears lay back in memory, while Demeter's Hand scowls and shudders as she, too, remembers that time. The philodox snorts again, but then moves to help move the rest of the wounded into the theater before joining the rest of her pack to return to the park.

Luna-Singer runs through a steady succession of blinks at all this, new concern in her eyes as she looks to the Alpha. ~My...my thanks to you, Echen-rhya.~ She stands more steadily now, looking very grateful for what has just happened and more than a bit speechless.
