Primordial Church

[Kelreth]

Vision blurs to red and narrows as the Rage inside fills Brigit as the pale man she bites into just seems so ...weak and prey-like....

I'm going to break this down because I missed this for Matt and we have two four wolves potentially rolling for Kuruth right now.

So we're going to do this:

Last of Flames is in human form and has a defense of 2, so Brigit deals 5 Lethal to him.
Brigit needs to roll Composure + Resolve to resist falling into a Death Rage but can not use WP as this occurs on her turn and WP was used for the attack.

Xadun if Brigit falls to Kuruth you can redo Emily's turn (if you so choose) to reflect the fact that Emily's packmate just went into rampage mode. If Brigit passes however Emily's existing turn remains in which case... Howl of Night is in human form and has a defense of 2, so Emily deals 5 Lethal to him and Emily Makerith needs to roll Composure + Resolve to resist falling into a Death Rage but can use WP as she didn't use any during her turn already.

Once those are resolved I'll roll for the Pure and we'll see just how many Kuruthing wolves are present.

I'm sorry for the confusion around all of this but I want to take it piece by piece as Kuruth is the lurking menace that makes Wolf combat risky.

[Brigit]

Also forgot to mention Urshul pushes Brigit's Init to 13 methinks. Her Defense remains 2 due to Wits

[Emily Makerith]

For simplicity I'm happy to keep Emily's turn as is.

Emily falls to Kuruth and shifts reflexively to Garou.

[Kelreth]

The red fades from Brigit's gaze and maybe, just maybe, she feels a second heartbeat for a moment. Then the feeling fades just as quickly as it came.

For the pack's bolder Crescent moon however the red grows deeper turning into a crimson soak tunnel that finally ends in darkness. As the world turns to nothingness Emily's body erupts into the warform with a howl of pure Rage.

For his own part Last of the Flames looks ready to give into the Rage but he manages to hold himself back. In fact so does his Alpha, though the olive skinned man also clearly wants to see blood. Then Emily howls and both Pure rapidly shift from hate to fear. Both know what that sound means. Almost instinctively both drop to Urhan, shedding some clothing as they do. Then, they start running away.

  Last and Howl both resist

Kuruth Effects

Time in Gauru form lasts for entire scene
Attempts to destroy nearest target, friend or foe
Self-preservation takes over when wounded within last 3 health boxes – Flees, attacking anyone intervening
Attempts to mentally/socially coerce at -3
Talkdowns are an automatic -5
Cannot use fetishes/Gifts
Cannot spend Willpower
Resolve + Composure may be rolled if talked down, etc.
Induces fear in spirits
Reflexive Kuruth roll may save from being disabled by giving extra health

Emily's initiative drops to 11 as Gauru is just slightly slower than a Urshul. Last of the Flames and Howl of Night both shift to Urhan and move away.

Last of the Flames is now 11 meters/yards away and Howl of Night is 10 meters/yards away.

Which brings us to the top of the initiative order with Nathaniel Dormur

Initiative Order: Nathaniel 15, Faiths-Toll 14, Eight 14 (4L), Brigit 13, Matt 12, Emily 11, Last 7 (5L), Howl 6 (5L)

[Nathaniel Dormur]

Oh. Great.
Juuuust what the young pup needed. It could have been worse, he supposed. He could be in the middle of a death rave, and end up having to pick up the pieces after the party. So, you know. Little things. Except now Emily might ACTUALLY kill someone. The two pure seemed to be running away- Nathaniel was tempted to give chase, but any chance that his sister would start chasing them (and inadvertently end up around humans) was one he didn't want to take. Nathaniel had already told himself that he'd accept the burden that being here, being in a pack, meant. Now he had to put that to the test....

The young pup dashed between his sister and the fleeing Pure, reverting back to human- he'd need words to reach her, words that he (unfortunately...) couldn't get across as a big safe giant wolf. It wouldn't have been his first time- though the desperation of this scenario certainly added to the recklessness of this choice. The Pure could wait- their plans were likely foiled, for now. And the Spirit, if it stuck around, would contend with the pack alone.

Nathaniel put a foot forward, and roared in the Spirit Tongue, shoving aside any semblance of timidity.

<< SISTER!...STOP...NOW!>>

  Snapple out of it!

The words were guttural, throaty- but they hopefully hit the mark. And if not... Well, Nathaniel just made himself a big target. And he wasn't sure how much extra effort he could put in, feeling exhausted mentally from the repeated shifts and the exertion as his body shook slightly and he waited to see if he'd have to shift once more just to survive.

Housekeeping: Nathaniel has expended 2 willpower, 2 essence so far

Housekeeping: it's -5, not -3. new roll!

[Matt Joule]

Matt snarls and shifts and grows and grows higher but lighter until he is standing high on two legs and leaps to try to hold Emily tightly with his limbs without hurting her much!

Matt tries to grapple Emily into a hold!

house keeping: will power

[Kelreth]

Despite putting his all into it Nathaniel's words fall on ears that can hear perfectly fine but simply don't care. Words that, to Emily would mean something, feel like something. But to what Emily is now, mean nothing at all. Only noise. And a small little treat they came from.

If the Pure's response was one of fear Faith's-Toll's response is something almost beyond that. The spirit hurls itself into the building to get away from the monster outside. For her own part Eight takes a moment to glance the situation over before nodding, likely to herself, maybe to you all, then dropping into Urhan and starting to flee as well.

As if filling the void left by Eight, Matt rushes in and manages to get his arms around the towering Gauru-Emily.

Eight shifts to Urhan and begins to flee. Matt successfully Grapples Emily, Emily can attempt to break out with a Str+Brawl check penalized by Matt's Str on her turn. Next turn if the grapple is maintained whoever is the grappler can attempt to immobilize the other (or bite them).

Last of the Flames is now 11 meters/yards away, Howl of Night is 10 meters/yards away, and Eight is 10 meters/yards away.

This brings us to Brigit .

Initiative Order: Nathaniel 15, Faiths-Toll 14, Eight 14 (4L), Brigit 13, Matt 12, Emily 11, Last 7 (5L), Howl 6 (5L)

[Brigit]

Brigit was conflicted and nearly chased after the retreating Pure.

A parting growl was offered to Eight as she nodded, a simple guttural word of contempt passing from the Urshul throat as she ran: <<Coward>>

Then Brigit, turned her attention back to the pack. Matt's efforts were valiant, Nathan's... well... he'd come to know the Rage in time. If Matt failed, what they needed was a way to herd Emily away until the Rage subsided.

Thus, the Redeemed looked to their surroundings, looking for abandoned buildings and alleys.
