Rory was oh so kind enough to let Gavin drive his truck out into the middle of nowhere. An evening drive is rapidly turning into something far more engrossing as the clock on the dashboard ticks over into 1am. "Where the paths of the Weaver run parallel to the river. Honored Dead lay near to desecration. This has to be it." A flashlight is in Rory's mouth though as he looks down at the map, then up towards the approaching rest-step. "Turnoffhere."
Gavin is at home in big trucks, being a cowboy and Texan and all, when Rory tell him to turn off... he does and says, "Right..." He turns on the brights to better see in case there's anything in the path and says, "Yer spirit tell y'all what exactly we're lookin' fer out here in the boonies?" Being a scout, this is his bailiwick, but still he likes to have a bit more to go on then some spirit asking them to check things out.
"I don't think the Ancestral Spirit was all too happy that I was the one he found. I probably missed quite a bit of context." His hand reaches up to grasp the ohshitbar as they wheel up into the rest stop's parking lot. Which is entirely empty. Immediately though, the wafted stench of decay and general yucky uck gets pulled from outside and pushed through the AC vents. "We're looking for something digging up old graves."
Gavin makes a face and pulls up his kerchief around his neck up over his nose and mouth and says, "Stay upright or do y'all wanna go furry t'check? Furry'd be faster, but with this stench I don't recommend it." He gives his advice as a scout to the other man.
"You think we found something, then?" Rory's nose scrunches as the truck pulls into a parking spot to halt with the engine running. "Four legs would be easiest to find the thing. Whatever the thing is." The map is getting folded up now and tossed behind his seat along with the flashlight as the man undoes his seatbelt.
<---======##====================[ Dice Roll ]=====================##======---> Rory rolls Perception(2) + Occult(2) (4 dice) vs 7 for 2 successes. 2 2 +8 +9 <-------------=============++++++++++++++++++++++++=============------------->
Gavin shrugs and says, "Hard t'say, found somethin' sure, but what? No idea... ain't nothin' good obviously if'n it's diggin' up graves." He steps out of the truck and thanks to you teaching him the Rite of Talisman Dedication, he shifts and everything he's wearing gets sucked into dog collar that drops out of his pocket as it's sucked into the ID tag. Before his hands shift into paws, he attaches it around his neck and then completes the shift and then shakes his dark brown and red fur and gives you a doggie grin.
Rory steps out as well, finding his footing and slamming the truck door behind him. It takes only a good solid sniff before his eyes nearly cross. "Oh no. Its here, it or something else very like it." Rory will walk off towards the Rest Stop's bathroom as if the scent was in that direction, but he hasn't shifted into four legs quite yet.
Gavin motions that he's going to circle around quickly and make sure that there's nothing else around and takes off running, skirting the Rest Stop's bathroom area and making a quick circuit of the general area to see if there's anything else around other than where the main scent's coming from.

About the Rest Stop itself? Not much can be found, some trash kicked off the highway to nestle amid the treeline and its brush. The stench is directionless, both sides of Gavin reek of it. The treeline reeks of decay and winds through the trees, and the bathrooms also have the same sort of stench. Rory takes a smaller circuit about the building, to kick a boot into the side of a dumpster before circling around back to the Restroom's door.
Gavin circles back around to Rory and then shifts back into Homid form and says, "Can't smell anythin' fer shit... and shit does it smell... y'all had better luck than me?"
Rory is shaking his head Gavin as he stands by the entryway into the restrooms. "Nothing this close, I haven't been in here yet though." Which may as well be ominious words considering the creaking of plywood that emits out of there before SOMETHING charges out the doorway towards them.

Gavin might not be smelling much, but at least he's able to sense and jump, duck and roll out of the way of whatever the thing is and says, "Guess that answers our question as t'what we're lookin' fer..." He pulls out his Colt 45 Peacemaker from his hip holster and says, "I don't think we wanna let it close pardner..."
Splinters rain down from inside the restroom, and the spray of uncontained water is splattering against the ceiling as a beastly large boar-like creature thunders through the doorway to weave to try and strike Rory first, then Gavin but both manage to jump out of the way of that charge. The huge head of the creature seems to be made of craggly cancerous bonegrowth with some skin stretched overtop. It doesn't turn after skittering a few feet away to come back to them. It starts to head into the treeline instead.
Gavin raises an eyebrow and looks at Rory and then says, "Well fuck..." He tries to get a quick shot off with his revolver, center mass, to at least slow it down before they have to chase after it.
<---======##====================[ Dice Roll ]=====================##======---> Gavin McDonald rolls Dexterity + Firearms vs 6 for 6 successes. +6 +6 +9 +9 +10 +10 <-------------=============++++++++++++++++++++++++=============------------->

The bullet catches the boar-thing in the back passengerside hip and upends it into a roll that he recovers from after digging claws through dirt and digging up divots into the earth before he crashes into the trees. Rory, beside Gavin, sighs. "Chase it then?"
Gavin blows the smoke from his barrel and puts the hammer back before he twirls it and holsters it and says, "Yup pardner... can't let that varmint get away... I'll go left, y'all take right and let's see if we can't cut it off and finish it off."
"I mean. I suppose that might be the best method." This is the time that Rory will seek out his four-paw form though, that pig was running MIGHTY fast. Then he'll take off to the leff--errrrr-to right to chase the thing into the brush.

Gavin explodes into his wolf form once again and takes off to the left as he catches the scent, sneezing and running after the cancer-boar creature-thingie
The run through the woods takes a good amount of time, whats thiry minutes at a quick pace to a wolf anyways? A boar crashing through trees and stuff is something rather easy to follow. Allll the way to a small clearing where varnished wooden totems are arranged in a small circle still somehow resisting the passage of time. And....mounds of dirt everywhere from bodies being dug up. The boar had beaten them there, turned as two more boars stepped out to squeal their resistance!

Rory in Lupus charges Boar 2 at the far right with a swiftness! His paws catch the beastie upon its side and upend it as he digs teeth into the shoulder of the thing to rend its shoulder open enough to see the socket of the shoulder. Then he'll stumble and stagger away to heave and gag out the flesh that got caught in his maw. "Don't bite....gah!"

Rory's reaction to seeing Gavin skewered is enough to push him to stretch into Crinos and near gut the pig closest to him. His back gets turned to his boar entirely to turn and slash through the underbelly of the Boar that had already suffered a gunshot and bite from Gavin to leave it's guts spilling free from his stomach and rolling helplessly on the dirt.
Gavin McDonald loses one Magical Essence

Gavin howls in pain and rage as the boar gores him pretty badly and then shifts into his war form and ROARS as he swipes down with his claws to tear the second boar's head almost completely off with it! He then holds his side, getting woozy from the damage and blood loss and sinks to his knees, starting to shift back to his human form and says, "Fuck... that fuckin' varmit got me..."
Rory stands panting and heaving oxygen into his lungs as the smell of rotting decaying bodies is sucked through his nose too. The fight seems...over. For the most part. But Rory is reaching out to grasp Gavin's shoulder to ensure he stays upright still. At least not toppling over just yet. It takes a few moments before Rory does the same, shifting through creaking bones back into his human form to glance down at Gavin's stomach. "I think they got ya, buddy."
He gives Rory a LOOK and says, "Y'all think?? I kin see my intestines down there... that ain't right!" He winces in pain as he pulls off his kerchief and ties it around the wound as best he can and grimaces, "Need... help... to the truck... this is gonna be a long walk..."
"Well. Probably." Rory's flannel is probably far treatment for holding Gavin's innards, inside. And he'll unwind it from his body and use the sleeves to tie it oh so tight around the Ragabash's waist. "I'll uh, tell someone where this is and we'll get it cleaned up AFTER we get you somewhere." Then he'll move around to Gavin's untusked side to pull his arm around his shoulders to start the long walk.
Gavin grunts in pain as just walking hurts a LOT and mutters, "Remind me never to go huntin' with you without packin' more firepower than jest my revolver. I ain't cut out fer straight up fightin', I'm better at scoutin'...." He grouses and complains the whole long long walk through the woods back to the rest stop. At least that shows he's still alive?
"Wellll, I'm sure there are plenty of peopel lined up to chew me out for this too. You'll need to get in line. Behind Gwen, behind Seline, behind whichever Theurge we find to heal you. Scolding me first for not being able to heal you myself. Then scolding me for leading us into this mess." The pair start their hobbling long walk back towards the waiting truck, and a destroyed bathroom and at least no cameras. Trudge trudge trudge.
