    Surely Hector has heard the stories about the north of the river. For years the Pure had controlled North of the American River and West of the Sacramento River where it turns south. Then they had been pushed back and shattered in a night of Glory and Fire.

    After that fire faded the Forsaken and Pure of Sacramento drifted away into the world. Now though there’s activity north of the river again. As Bleeds Well leads the pair closer and closer territorial markings become apparent on building walls and light poles. Slashes and gouges made with precision and detail. Near Silicia Ave and Harvard St a small commercial zone tries to flourish among the budding urban sprawl.

    Within that zone is a warehouse that looks like it has seen better days. Though even at a distance the age on the building feels too clean and cut. Like a facade put up in haste or one that was made to be deliberately jarring.

    A line of people wait outside of the warehouse adorned in attire from business casual to rivethead. With a lone bouncer at the plain door to one side of wide, closed, commercial garage doors. As individuals and pairs are let in multicolored lights flash out into the night before disappearing as the plain door closes.

    On the wind is the faint whiff of wolf but it's impossible to tell at this distance if it's the well dressed bouncer, someone in line, or coming from inside of the warehouse.

    Feeling hidden, if not safe, in their shadowed alley Bleeds Well drops to a crouch and assumes urhan.

    Silent and still the midnight wolf watches and wait from their position. Alpha will lead when he's ready to make a move, but for now they need information. He sniffs the air, trying to determine how many different wolf scents he might be getting. He listens to the crowd move, trying to make out voices in muffled din of the thumping club music. But most importantly he observes, one of these outside might be wolf.

    That woman in line with giving her lover a predatory gaze, is that a wolf? Or the bouncer as he eyes the potential patrons.

    He sizes up the bunch. Watching body language, and how they are carrying themselves to try and identify those in the crowd that might a skilled fighter.

    Hector has made an effort. The rags of the street are gone; instead the Cahalith wares jeans, a slightly too florid shirt with a fashionable cut - only ten to fifteen years out of fashion. Scuffed boots, not shoes, are on his feet. He smells scrubbed down too; but not even that can strip away months (years) of hard living: his personal scent might have been temporarily cleansed and replaced with an ugly generic scent, but Bleeds Well could still make out his B.O. and general stink.

    Hector grunts when the Suthar Anzuth changes shape.

    The Alpha's attention is currently on the territorial markings.

    What roll do you need to work out what the territorial markings mean - which packs, tribes, etc?

    It's hard to tell from this distance, with so many people standing around and not really doing anything, and it takes time. Heartbeats blend into breathes blend into moments. But after several long moments Bleeds Well can tell that the bouncer can likely hold their own in a bar fight. Down the line of people waiting to get in another person stands out. While most people are dressed to some form of fashion this man stands comfortably in ripped jeans and a sleeveless dark orange t-shirt. He just seems almost to comfortable and at ease.

    The Brawl+Wits rolled had a -8 penalty applied between trying to determine relative fighting capacity when the targets aren't fighting or moving and because Bleeds Well is looking over a crowd. That still leaves two successes though.

    Int + Occult + any specialties regarding Pure Tribes or Traditions to get a better idea of what the territorial markings mean.

    Hector's malleable face hardens into a frown. His mouth forms a line, his upper lip jutting out with a pronounced overbite.

    "There."

    Noticing the man BW sizes him up, or tries to, but mother's blessing escaped him.

    Bleeds Well form returns to hishu and he nods up to Alpha. He showered just a few days ago at Makerith Moters, and even shaved. His jeans have been washed, but his shirt is still well worn.

    He points out the man in the line, looking out of place.

    "He might be a wolf. Him and the bouncer are the only one that look like they could be any good in fight."

    Of the Tribes of the Pure there are the monsters, the fanatics, and the zealots. The monsters avoid the cities, mostly, the zealots are already in town, and that leaves the fanatics. Ivory Claws is the name they go by despite their Totem's name. There is little doubt that the territorial markings belong to a pack of Ivory Claws, the markings are to clean and neat. Time and care had gone into them.

    While the markings are clear as to Tribe they are less clear as to what pack of Ivory Claws. Likely they are rather young looking to expand or transplants from far away.

    Away from the pair of Forsaken the bouncer lets in a couple that had clearly been pre-gaming. They stumble into the flashing lights before disappearing as the door closes them in.

    A sound: not a pur, not a growl, not a groan, rumbles behind Hector's teeth.

    "Tzuumfin," Hector stretches, rolling his shoulders.

    "Making a claim but can't figure out much more than that. You mentioned the bouncer could handle himself. And one other in the crowd."

    He squinted, only seeing a line of herd milling around the entrance.

    "Well. I'm thinking of learning the lay of the land. But do you think we should just walk in and... see what we can shake loose?"

    Bleeds Well grunts as Hector announces the nature of their foe.

    The hot blooded Talon bounces on his toes, ready. He opens his mouth to speak his desire for the latter suggestion, but settles back with both feet firmly on the ground.

    Purity demands caution.

    "Glory screams for action, but that seems unwise. We might have been the least suited to walking into a club, but that probably makes us the most suited for this mission. I think we wait and watch, see who leaves at the end of the night and where they go. We might get an idea of their number and who they are."

    "Thats wise. Easier to spot them, too, I reckon. Thats if Luna blesses us and they wander in packs. Easier to smell."

    Hector cracks a grin.

    "I don't think the bouncer is going anywhere. And that other guy is probably waiting for get in the club. So we know where he is going. How about we take a walk and case the area properly. Don't know about you, but I want to get to grips with this battle ground before we have to make a stand."
