Magnus was out covered in mud with his shirt off not too far from their territory and is standing in front of a large tree but inside a mud wallow. The others just came in too. He turns. You can see that he has drawn several glyphs onto his torso and face with the mud. He blinks as both Elowyn and Theron come into view and he bellows out, ?Blessed be Fenrir, just when I need some help, along come two members of te pack.?. He claps his hands out of joy (and habit) and sends mud flying off his hands in both of their general directions.
Theron arches a brow a moment. "Uhm, sure, Im always willing to help but with what?" he asks as he begins to unclasp his gear, not wanting to have Dainsleif dirty.
The sound of a heavy boots can be heard as down the path comes Ratsputin with his hands buried deep in the pockets of his duster, as he watches nods slowly with a little chuckle, as he moves towards Elowyn trying to sneak but he is lauhging too much, the prank too good. Then as he gets to her he says fuck in grabing her hand in his softly squeezing it."Hiya gang, what is going on?"
Elowyn hears the laughing as she turns then chuckles a bit as she shakes her head. "Nice try...." At that she then licks her lips as she looks back to Magnus. "Yes....what are we doing?"
Magnus looks as Ratsputin comes into view too and snerks. He says, ?Whelp, Ratsputin was teaching me te Rite of Contrition so I figured I?d come out to te largest tree in this part of te forest and offer Contrition for the truck striking its breathern te other day and doing them damage.?. He takes a deep breath and looks around at the mud, ?But every time I start the Rite I sink deeper into te mud and the tree?s roots start te move.?. He winks.
"Yeah man, be careful with that rite. It is imporant to do it right, bad stuff hits the fan if you fuck it." Rats nods slowly as he squeezes her waist as he looks at Elo, and then back at Magnus."Now then, I have found someone to teach me the gift of spirt speach."
El smiles a bit as she leans into Rats before nodding a bit. "So how can we help then?" She adjusts her purse before pulling her hair back a bit. "Or anything I can even do to help?"
Magnus grins and gets that devilish smirk on his face, ?Ye kin help me by acting as a distraction while I attempt to perform this Rite. Fair warning, te Rite May go sideways as I am still learning it. Do ye accept the challenge of dealing with an awakened manifestation of this old, wise, and strong tree spirit??.
"If we most so you can learn it, wanna wait for me to learn to speak with em first or just run right into it?" Rats watches the man with a little chuckle, his hand resting on his belt."I mean your the boss man."
A slight nod, "You mean do we accept fighting a tree spirit if you piss it off?" Theron asks curiouslh with a chuckle.
Elowyn looks at them all before clearing her throat and moving to set her purse down. Clearing her throat she pulls out a hair tie and ties her hair back into a messy bun. Licking her lips a bit she rolls her shoulders before chuckling a bit. "I thought I wasn't supposed to actively put myself in danger...." Grinning a bit she then looks too Rats with a smile.
"So then, lets do this and get it over with do your rite Magnus, if you mess it I'll fix it." Rats nods slowly with a wink at his ALpha as he starts to remove his duster throwing it behind him, now in a black work shirt, didn't need his favorite coat fucked up by a mad tree.
Theron positions himself so his sword can be drawn quickly if meeded, but otherwise just watches.
Magnus laughs lightly at Theron?s words, ?Aye that?s the rub.?. To Elowyn, ?Iffn ye are uncomfortable, ye din have to, but I personally don?t agree with kinfolk not waging battle with us as long as we are smart about it and train ye.? To Rats he shrugs, ?No time like the present to try something new and dangerous and fun.?. Yep, classic Get mentality there.
Magnus starts reciting some of the Rite only to have the mud begin rippling and the ground shifting under everyone. Small roots start to weave in and out of the surface of the earth. Magnus adds, ?Speak now Iffn ye wish to back out.?
"Nah, let's do this Magnus only way to learn is to fail, and then fight it." Rats voice is soft as he is ready for it, his body tense his eyes narrowed. He stands right next to Elowyn his arm ready to throw her back if need, with a little chuckle.
Elowyn smiles softly as she chuckles a bit. "Yeah....my mom is right in the throws of battle with my father when it comes to it...." At that she just takes a deep breath and readies her just.
Rats is changes quickly into his war form his snarl of rage coming out of his lips, as he dashes froward grabbing as many of the roots as he can, as he pins them to the tree with a snarl at the others as, his eyes narrow. His body is huge 7'6 with a muscles over where and his flesh is covered in the same spots, still a hairless of course.
Elowyn purses her lips but as it starts to move she goes slightly wide eyed. "Eep!" At that she just jumps out of the way of the roots, stepping to the side a bit as she squints a bit the looks it over. "Hrm...." That's when she seems to beeped in thought.
As a branch swings his way, Theron swings his blade in a quick arc. He misses it however andnis forced to dive and roll out of the way in a last minute and deft dodge.
Magnus continues the Rite as the others fight. For his part, he is sinking lower and lower into the mud slowly. He is up to his waist now. The root that the hairless Crinos has is held tightly, but for that one that he holds, four more pop out of the Ground equally thick and swinging at Rats. The one for Elowyn snakes upwards out of the ground and serpents back and forth before it snaps out at her. Theron May have rolled out of the way, but it splinters into two in a quick rapid growth of wood and bark. One lances at Theron and the other sweeps at his feet.
Elowyn quickly scrambles to avoid being hit by the roots again. "Do we have a plan or....?" At that she spins around to avoid that grab, swatting it with her arm to keep it from snagging her up. "...because we really shouldn't piss this poor tree off any further...."
Rats is mad now, his hands is leaving the tree with a wide swipe of his claws, and a snarl of rage he is attacking now, holding a tree seemed to do nothing, but a little bit of pruning is in order.
Theron is wrapped up by a tree branch as he struggles against the attacking tree spirit. Its now for the first time that the garou see that the kin who claims to be a Berserker shows what he is capable of as he flexes and tears free.
Magnus is now up to his neck in mud as he has been slowly sinking. He continues the Rite and calls out, ?Almost done, keep it up.?
Two of the five roots swinging wildly around Ratsputin are cut cleanly away by those Crinos claws. The other five sweep back to steer clear for a moment. The one root that had started to wrap around Elowyn is pulled off only to slither away for a second too. The two vines that bore around Theron go splintering in every direction as Theron?s night is made known.
Magnus is only showing his face at this point as he is close to finishing the Rite. The three roots all shoot forward at once from different angles to stab at Ratsputin. With the splintering of the other roots holding Theron, two large branches come crashing down towards Theron to smoosh him between them.
The claws are out again as Rats is moving towards the tree with a little chuckle of rage and then he starts to move around with his claws, spinning around in the winds. Rats is ready to murder and kill and harm.
This time there is no more messing around. The Get Kinfolk swings his sword in a broad strike with incredible power. His blade striking true, used in war as it is meant to be.
Magnus finishes the Rite and gives some of the core of his essence to the tree as Ratsputin and Theron make short work of the rest of the roots and branches. The branches fall to the ground as Theron?s mighty sword skills strike hard and through. Rat?s rage and claws send the other roots sprawling to the ground like rag dolls. Whether it was the fighting that did it, the Rite , or more likely a combination of the two, the tree suddenly grows quiet and still, with only the leaves rustling with the wind. In the quiet, Magnus says with only his lips and nose out of the mud, ?Some help??
Ratsputin walks over in his large form to yank Magnus free of the mud, after this the monster is once again shifting to his homid, as he looks around with a shake of his head and then he bites his lip with a sigh."Fucking hell, that was a pain in the ass."
Magnus is pulled up and out of the mud. There would be some resistance from the suction of the mud, but also from a bunch of small roots that embedded themselves within Magnus? skin. They all slough off when he is out and slowly lower back into the mud. Magnus is looking weak. He grunts. ?Sometimes blood is the only true sacrifice,? he notes, and from the look of it, the tree was drinking from him. He shifts into lupus and then goes unconscious.
