Caution: All Rails Are Alive

[Viola Jones]

Tristan Hardt 's ahead of Viola in initiative roster, but I'm gonna go ahead since I was called on by the Cayce to explain something near and dear -- Fighting Blind We're taking literal shots in the darksmog, we could risk it and attack, and then Cayce rolls to see if we hit -- or if we're even facing the right way! Or we could use a Gift or something, see if that works, or we try and listen for the Magath! Which is a Wits + Composure -3! Succeed and you know where it is, fail and you're still in the darksmog

The smog comes out, choking and acrid.

Thoughts of discovering what the gunk was, proving to her new pack that she was more then a bruiser leave.

Instinct has her calling on Hikaon-Ur's Gift, so she'd see through the acrid smog, choking both sight and snout.

Kid howls and she bays in return, paws already leading her after Kid and to the Magath.

With a snarl she darts in to take a bite with her own powerful jaws.

  1 success, Stalking Gift, Night Sight.

I'm assuming with my success that I can see through the smog, and since it's a reflexive action, I can make an attack -- if not, please ignore all the attacking stuff! :P

[Hector]

Hector is moving, circling, flanking, as his pack closes in on their prey.

He moves when they day, lips peeling back from his maw of sharp teeth. The magath is moving too. And as he lunges forward he is enveloped in a stinking, hot, foul, rancid, cloud. An inky darkness cutting off his senses so that all he feels is his forward momentum and the burning sensation as the liquid atmosphere seems to stick to him.

For a moment blind panic as he hurtles forward. Senses blurred. Nostrils clogged. Mouth dry. Eyes watering.

And then he struck! He ran into something.

Snarling. Pure anger. He bites!

[Tristan Hardt]

The piercing noise gives his paws purpose. He races down the track, heading straight towards the nearest entrance.

Tristan uses his action to run at Speed 14x2

[Cayce]

Magath 29 (4 lethal!!!), Tristan Hardt 15, Kid 13, Viola 11, Hector 7, Iseult 7 (3 lethal)

Kid, his mind alight with the presence of his companions, lunges forward, his teeth snapping closed on swirling smog! The monstrosity he and his pack were cornering was massive, but it was also fast! This was no bear that they were trying to kill, this was a creature from the spirit realms, and it would take a full pack to kill it...and luckily, that's exactly what Kid had!

Viola lunged forward next, the gift of vision in darkness failing against the thick smog, but the Rahu's ears were sharp and she heard the sound of the Magath's claws against the concrete floor. Her fangs met metal and then tore through, the spirit flesh of the creature crunching and tearing beneath her savagery...

But it was Hector who drew the most blood, his mad savagery catching the Magath by surprise as the vicious wolf came hurtling out the smog and tore great chunks out of its twisted hide.

And then, echoing out of the smog came a fierce, prideful howl, a howl with the strength of storm winds, a howl that carried as though it came from the throat of a canyon, a howl that called to the savage heart of her packmates and urged them not to hold back, urged them to throw everything in their hearts, their souls into their dance of war...

But, as inspiring as the howl might have been, it was suddenly cut off as a massive iron claw batted the Iseult-wolf off of her paws and the scent of wolf blood cut the stench of smog...

...his legs throwing him forward, Tristan Hardt pelted towards the building and suddenly he was ducking inside, just in time to hear the howl, the call of the Uratha, only to hear it suddenly cut short.

His People were in trouble! He'd arrived just in time.

The blinding, stinking smog clogs the air, but his ears are still sharp. The howl of another Uratha, cut short by the thing hiding in the smoke, sends the Tristan-wolf lunging for what surely must be the Magath. It had spilled Uratha blood. Time to pay it back in kind.

Also hoping/assuming 5 on perception roll will suffice. Otherwise I guess he didn't bite nobody!

[Kid]

In the ever-thickening smog, all is confusion. Violence. Struggle.

The hunt.

Kid's blood sings in his ears as his teeth tear into the foul spirit-flesh of the Magath. His heart swells at the sounds of his pack-mates joining the fray. His body vibrates with the howl he knows, simply knows, is Iseult's.

And then that howl is cut off. And he distantly feels his fellow Cahalith's pain. Knows she has been wounded thanks to the strange sixth-sense that connects them thanks to his Gift.

Joy is replaced, or swells into rage, and he lunges for the Abomination again. Huge jaws snapping viciously.

[Viola Jones]

Violence. Not just violence, but battle.

Viola's blood sings as she feels her powerful jaws snap and tear.

Her body thumbs as Iseult's howl rings out only for the rage to grow when it's cut off.

She snarls as the blood scent comes through the acrid one of the smog.

Viola moves, barking, yipping, calling <<Over here!>> swerving in and out and around.

look at me. look at me. look at me.

Magath 29 (11 lethal!!!), Tristan Hardt 15 (? lethal), Kid 13 , Viola 11, Hector 7, Iseult 7 (10 lethal)

You have to roll perception every round, otherwise its auto-fail. Positions are always changing amidst the smog!

...sprinting into the building, Tristan finds himself plunging into a storm of choking smog, spraying blood, and the snarls of wolves and spirits. His people are fighting for their lives, fighting against a massive, looming thing thrashing around amidst the smog, and he dives forward, going for the throat...

Only to miss, the huge creature darting aside just in time, its unnatural reflexes saving its flesh.

But Kid, his senses alive with his pack, knows where the Magath is dodging and his jaws find the spirits metal flesh, tearing a chunk away and spilling blood upon the ground.

And Viola-wolf is right there...or so she thinks. She tries to slip under the Magath's guard and throw it off balance, but she couldn't find it in the smog...

Tristan Hardt apply your defense to Hectors last attack roll and take any remaining damage

The Iseult-Wolf, torn flesh leaking blood onto the ground, snarls and growls, the timbre of her fury growing deeper as her muscles swell and her jaw stretches out into the fearsome maw of the Urshul. Her keen ears guide her through the chaos of flailing fur and she clamps her jaws around the throat of the Magath, foul spirit-blood pouring into her mouth...

Iseult spends 1 Essence to reflexively shift Urshul. -1 WP for attack

But the might of the Magath is tremendous, beyond the destructive might of even the Gauru, and the monster shakes its great head, flinging the Urshul to the ground like a rat, where it's terrible jaws savage the foolish creature. The scent of wolf-blood smothers the other wolve's senses, and the frantic whines of excruciating pain fill their ears...
