The group meets up OUTSIDE the Irish Times Pub at the time assigned for their bawn patrol together. Dale strolls in wearing camo pants with pockets, but a pink tee that says 'Air Dry Only'. He also wears a pair of yellow loafer sneaks. All the rage right now, no pun intended. "Hello everyone. If you haven't met me yet, all your gorgeous people, I'm Dale Daugaard, born on these two lovely legs, under the No Moon. Proud to be a Get of Fenris Foster, rited Knockout Queen." He scans the group to see Kennard. "Righteous, I asked for this gig, honey. We're going to get you beautiful again." He smiles at Rhapsody and Lennox too. "Looks like we get the north path to follow along some broken road." Oh he takes a breath, "Broken road, not yellow brick road. Oh! I wish."
Stepping out of the Pub is Kennard. Standard fare for Kennard's patrol. He's in a kilt with that helicopter blade he calls a sword strapped to his back. He's holding his head up, but well, when you've spiritually been kicking in the bojangles, it leaves a mark. He bows to everyone, " Kennard Ry Madden, rited Wrath of Morrigu, Ahroun Cub of the Fianna, born of man to Harold 'Song-of-Harmony' Madden Elder Philodox, Alpha to the pack Stag's Blessing, Grandson of Alesdair Drinks-Like-Fish Madden Athro Ragabash, taken by the Wyrm, Great Grandson of Caden Bane-blight Madden Elder Ahroun WyrmFoe Sept of the Three Valleys, directly decscended from Phelan 'Voice of Wisdom' Madden Elder Galliard and Songkeeper, Righ of Clan Madden. From the Sept of Airgetteamhair, now of Enduring Spirit." He looks around, "I am honored to be here with you today." His words are sincere.
Lennox ensure's he's early to the meeting place and happy to wait, not wanting to be the one that might delay everyone. He's got his walking stick slash staff leant against his shoulder while he waits for people to show up. After Dale's introduction he nods to the Fostern and gives his abbreviated introduction, the daily driver version, including Rhapsody as well, since they also haven't met before, "Lennox Harlow, rited Glacadair, born homid under no moon. Cliath of the Fianna. Pleasure to meet you both."
Rhapsody is the last to speak, as she learns names today. "May Gaia bless you all. I am Rhapsody Teresi, Rited Protector of Hope, born with two legs under the crescent moon, Fostern of the Black Furies, sworn to Black Unicorn. Daughter of Feeds the Weak, Adren Galliard, Granddaughter of Accepts-No-Excuses, Elder Ahroun, GreatGranddaughter of Follows-the-Light, Elder Theurge." She smiles to Dale with the joke about the yellow brick road.
Dale claps his hands. "Pleased to meet you!" He smiles wider, "Now that Protector of Hope has blessed us, we should begin our walk. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. Ken and I know eachother from his amazon adventures. WHO knew you could get such things out here in the mail. Latte dah." He starts the group walking north. "Nice sword," he compliments Ken. "So many jokes I'd crack right now but I'll hold my peace." He gazes to Lennox, "I don't normally get chatty on the trail. Because stealth is all about winning, but once we get out of the housing area, keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary."
Dale takes them up a deer trail behind a few houses, and then it slips into deeper woods, where the brush begins to thicken. Those who may have come this way before, will see the trail dot along a small stream, and then curve into a denser forest, where they can single file.
There's a little chuckle, "I've probably heard them all." Kennard says in respond to Dale's mentioning of sword jokes. "May I ask a favor?" He looks to the Fosterns. "I'm used to being out front. May I take that position? Or do you want me somewhere else?" I mean, there's nothing that says 'stealth' about Kennard.
Lennox is easy going enough to fall into single file order wherever he ends up, confident in his stride and already keeping his eyes open and scanning surroundings while they walk. He's sure footed, with the stick as a third point of contact with the ground to make it easier. "Aye, Knockout Queen, as you say. I'm fair quiet in the woods if you'd like me to range a little." Leaving the decision up to Dale, but it wouldn't do to have no initiative at all.
Rhapsody is used to being more in the middle, and looks to Dale. "Up to you, Knockout Queen." She is keeping her eyes peeled and looking around. The houses drift away and they are deeper into the woods and she hears the stream. "So long as we all keep our senses up."
If it were his own funeral, Finn would be late. Today is no different! Jogging to catch up, he does manage to find the patrol he was supposed to be on. He's missing a sock. "Hey there..." He says, a bit hushed as they are likely already on the trail. "Did I miss anything?"
Dale says, "Nope! Didn't miss anything. Glad you run fast."
Dale barely finishes his sentence, when they hear a little girl ahead on the trail as they see a small wild orchard ahead. It's only about five or six fruit black cherry trees. The girl is crying, "Momma! Wake up..." She's dragging at her mother's hand, who seems to be unconscious. A basket is tipped over beside her under one big tree, and cherries are spilled all over the ground. There's a few broken branches around her that looks like there may have been a fall out of the tree.
That gets Kennard's attention! He starts sprinting that way. "Hang on wee one! Help is coming." Kennard calls out. He's making his way over as quickly as possible.
Rhapsody is worried when she hears that sound of the little girl. No time to lose! She SPRINTS! Top Speed!!! As fast as she can toward the little girl and the mom.
Lennox nods to Dale when his suggestion of ranging ahead and around the group is accepted, to his mind it's useful to have stealthy eyes looking further afield to catch problems early and alert the group while surprise is still on their side. Of course, before he can go run off to scout around he hears the cries and watches Kennard disappear off forwards. He doesn't sprint forward towards the injured woman or crying child, he takes the sceptics approach of looking around for the ambush in this possible trap.
Woman? Child? Finn is on alert too - but not rushing forward. Nope. He's sniffing at the air, looking around in suspicion. He does move forward, apace with Lennox - but cautiously. Also, he's no medic!
The kinfolk mother on the ground appears to possibly fallen out of the tree. There's a few bee stings on her right arm, that are swelling, but it doesn't look to be the reason she's knocked out. The closer the group gets to the tree, they will hear an angry buzz up in the tree itself, quite up high.
The child turns to look at the kilt running Scot, moving quickly toward her and her mum, and she cries in deep breaths. All the men coming forward now are scary to her. Except, perhaps Rhapsody, she beelines it for her out of the orchard, and runs toward her.
Dale also hears the child's cry and races forward with the group. He sidesteps the cherry tree, to begin approaching the mother on the ground, especially after the child is seen going for the one female in the group.
With the child running to Rhapsody, Kennard skids and slides in next to the mother. He's careful though. He looks to make sure there's not -obvious- things, like compound fractures or limbs turned in ways they shouldn't be. He carefully reaches put his middle and ring fingertips on the side of her neck. He holds that a moment and then looks to the others, "She's alive, but I nae know if she can be moved."
Lennox is taking that cautious approach, why would this woman have even fallen out of this tree? Surely an inept climber wouldn't be picking cherries. He looks around and up and eventually notices something which he squints at for just a moment. After that moment's examination, even from this distance, he speeds up and lopes forward, gesturing up higher in the tree, "Looks like something living in the tree might've got her. Careful you don't irritate it further."
An angry buzz of bees begins to grow high up in the cherry tree.
Rhapsody catches the little girl, and hugs her tight. "It's ok. We are here to help." She holds the girl and walks over to the mother. As she hears the bees, she is careful. "Pick her up carefully. I'd be more worried about the bees than moving her right now. We get them away from the bees and I can heal her." She tells the girl, "Stick close to me. We're going to help. Tell us what happened?"
The little girl tugs on Rhapsody, crying. "The bees made mum fall down." She sobs. Her mouth is covered in cherry juice from eating the wild fruit.
Dale nods to Rhapsody, as if it were a good idea. "Get her out of the danger. Nox, grab her feet and I'll get her head and shoulders. We'll keep her flat as possible." He does have medicine skills, and scans her over. "She's breathing, and that's good at least." He we'll wait to work together with Lennox, and then quickly get her out from under the tree and away from the cherry tree itself to the edge of the orchard, and will lay her down on the dirt deer path.
It's like a flash. But a dark flash. The bees suddenly swarm out in a shadow from the hole up above in the tree. And they can see it as the acoustic momentum of angry buzz, pushes them out of the tree itself in a swarm. They are evacuating their nest!
"Shite!" Kennard calls out. He looks back, "Ye may want to back up a wee bit further." He moves to stand with Finn. "Dunno if batting at them with me sword will do much ..." He says, in side thought. "But we should maybe back up a bit. Just 'a be safe."
Lennox moves over towards the injured woman, going along with Dale's suggestion, "Aye, I'm no medic." He doesn't have a handy stretcher on hand either, so it's just a case of do the best you can. He gets down by her feet, crouches and grabs, ready to lift and waddle the poor lady away to some bit of safer and hopefully softer ground for proper healing attention. "On your lead Knockout Queen."
Rhapsody gets the little girl back with her mother and begins to do her thing for them. Checking over the mom and pulling something out of her bag. It's a clear water talen. "I'm going to help your mom, give her this. It will help with the toxin from the bees." She holds up the mom's head a bit and gets the water into her mouth. Once that is done, they need to wait a bit. She holds the little girl, stroking her hair and soothing her with a little hum of a melody.
Turning to face the tree - and the hole in the trunk, Finn hunkers down. "Never turn your back on the enemy." He shakes his head. "Get the Kin clear - there's more than bees in that tree." He says, a low growl in his throat.
The little girl hunkers down next to her Mom when Rhapsody begins to work on her. She holds her mother's hand, "Please wake up, mum!" Once the liquid is taken by the mother, she slowly begins to open her eyes, and looks confused by where she is, what happened, and in general looks stunned.
The bees surprisingly vacate the cherry tree. They are angry about their nest but whatever is inside that rotten hole up the tree, is far more dangerous than what they can handle.
Something dark sticks a clawed dark hand out outward, and it grips the bark until it sticks its sinister head out like a darkened shadow that has taken on mass. It hisses and mimics the buzz of the bees. >>Bzzzzzzz. zbzzzbzzz. Bzzzzz!<< It's head suddenly turns and out crawls a dark bane about the size of a very LARGE dog. It hops from the hole to the large tree branch and snears down at the Wolf party. Jagged teeth grin back. Hssssssssss!!! It eyes the group to seek out its weakest link to inhabit. It looks from Finn, over at the little girl on the path.

There's no hesitation! At the sight of the bane, Wrath growls deeply and squats down. Launching himself, he swipes with the first claw and the bane dodges! But that's what Wrath wanted and catches him deep with the second! His claws dig deep into the bane's hide!

Knife in hand, Finn follows suit in attacking the Bane. His blade, while striking true, does not carve through the hide of the Bane as easily as the Ragabash would have liked. "Fuck."
The bane starts to bleed ichor once Wrath of Morrigu strikes it. But then as Finn leaps to stab at it, the dark creature, decides to get away! It LEAPS down from the tree in a sickening arch of its body, like a flying squirrel, and then lands on the ground between spread out parties. It's running in the direction of the Little Girl, and right where Rhapsody, Lennox, and Dale are.
<OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "any rage spent Rhaps?" <OOC> Rhapsody says, "I'll spend 1 rage please" <OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "the blade pulling was for your free action, for Finn's warning."

And going last."
Rhapsody stands up as the mom is coming to. "Stay behind me." She says with deep concern to the two kinfolk. Taking out the hilt of her power blade, she gives it the juice it needs to activate, and Pssshhew! The Power blade lights up - the lightsaber that it is! She is still in homid, but she has her weapon ready!
<OOC> Glacadair says, "Lennox will try to fall on it and grapple it to prevent it getting to the girl and mum." <OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "roll it" <OOC> Glacadair says, "And hold it still for someone else to finish off." <OOC> Glacadair says, "I guess it's a clinch."

Knockout Queenr sees the Bane incoming and swipes at the creature with his claws! It slices air, hitting it, but the shadowy ick that it is... seems to have no effect!
When Glacadair transforms into Crinos most of his things vanish along with it, including his staff, leaving him unarmed. Seeing the others swing hard at the beast and yet not fell it he crouches and prepares to try to defend the child and injured woman. As the bane leaps over the others he launches forwards to body slam it, trying to grab hold and pin it before it can get past him, but he ends up getting a foot in the chin and not being able to hold on.

<OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "soak!" <OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "Finn also spent rage 1"
Rhapsody steps up to try to slice and dice into the bane with her activated lightsaber, and swings it through the air at it! Vrau, vrau! But while it looked like she hit, it did nothing. "Must be a force field or something?" She looks back at the girl and her mom to be sure they have remained behind her.
<OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "Finn also spent rage 1" <OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "Finn you are up! Wrath pose." <OOC> Knockout Queenr says, "its at 5 agg. its half dead"
>>COME HERE!<< Wrath growls out powered with Rage! He turns and leaps again at the beast! His claws dig in, raking at the hide, but it seems to have little effect!
The bane is a slippery little bastard! It's coated in honey and dripping in remnants of white beeswax. It's moving fast, with so many garou trying to attack it at once.

Slippery indeed. The knife strike from Finn does manage to find purchase, a bit of ichor oozing from the wound. "The hell... this dude..." Finn growls, focused on the task at hand - killing the Bane.

Glacadair ends up half crouched somewhere behind the Bane after it gets loose of his first attempt to hold it down, but with a growl of rising anger he claws at the ground and launches himself after it, slamming into it from behind and rolling across the floor, finally managing to get his arms around it and hold on, clinching it and forcing it to deal only with him while exposing it to the others.

The knife is dropped to the side for the moment, Finn relying on his claws for now. Bad choice. In trying to wiggle free of the grapple, the Bane avoids a slash from Finn's claws.

Knockout Queenr sees his team really struggling to kill this dark bane and he growls out, >>JUST DIE ALREADY!<< He swipes claws and makes initial contact to dig in deep to the bane's body itself. Black ichor goes spraying outward, away from the kinfolk. This thing is going to die now. The creature is screeching at this point, until it hisses low, and eventually stops.
Is it dead?

Rhapsody makes sure NOT to hit anyone else - because that would be horrible! The Bane is doen, and she sizzzzzzles her lightsaber right into it where a heart? a brain? A something would be! The sound of something burning and the scent of the nastiness is bad, but it is DED. Just DED. "Finally!" She pulls out her lightsaber and turns back to the little girl and her mom. "We need to get you to the kinfolk house and get cleansed."
Finn glances around, relaxing a bit. "The..." he waves his hand up in the air. "Danger is gone." He explains, shifting back down to his homid form.
Dale shifts into his human form.
Waiting and making sure there's nothing else coming at them, Wrath of Morrigu looks around before melding down into his oversized human form (Fair Glabro). He looks to the others and then to the kin. "I think I can still assist in cleansing rituals." But he looks to the others. He's just the help here today.
Dale looks to Finn as if relieved there's nothing else left in that hole above in the tree. "For once I'm thrilled we had the gumption to take a larger party out on patrol. This was one slippery bit of drivelry." No cussing, since kids are around. He winks over at the little girl to hopefully help that she isn't too frightened by all the wolves.
Dale takes a small breath and agrees with Rhapsody, 'I know the rite of cleansing, if others do not? But if someone wants practice, I'll assist, or step in." He glances to Rhapsody, "Can you heal the mother?"
Glacadair rolls around on the ground with it until the others have dealt it the damage needed to kill it, just hugging the hell out of that thing so it can't hurt anyone else. When it sizzles, pops and fries thanks to Rhapsody's lightsaber he finally tosses it aside and scrabbles away, heaving for breath and staring around ready for more killing. It takes a little while for that adrenaline hit to subside before he relaxes and then shifts back to glabro, becoming much more the normal Lennox once more, "That was... tougher than I expected."

Lennox loses one Magical Essence Lennox loses one Magical Essence Lennox loses one Magical Essence <OOC> Lennox spends 3 Gnosis for the rite.
The bane starts to dissolve into a puddle of black liquid. It's not immediate, but it's shrinking and oozing.

Rhapsody opens up her bag and gets out her items for the cleansing ritual. She holds the up and points the others around. They will cover the area with the tree and the mother and child. "All together now!" She begins singing about raindrops, and cleansing rain, as she dances around. The others do not need to be exact in following her, but make their best at it.

Dale assists in the cleansing rite. He'll offer to help hold things, or simply following along in the song. And he loves the song about raindrops! He dances around the tainted cherry tree and where the fight went down, and ended. At the end he'll howl with the taint chased away, in glee!
Finn does follow along with the dance, knowing the rite helps! He keeps tempo, pace and rythym. Once done, he nods to the others, then grins to the Kin pair. "Good taking care of your mom, little one." He offers to the girl.
The mother gets up and thanks the patrol group, "Thank you so much!" She hugs her child to her, "I don't know what I'd do without you finding us." Everyone is graciously thanked, and when safe to leaf, she will return home with her daughter.
Seems Kennard knows the Rite too! He dances and hoots and hollars to scare off the tained spirits. He dances round the area till the ritual is done.
Lennox, now shifted back into his usual form, glabro that can pass as human, and with his stick once again in his hands, dances and sings by following Rhapsody's lead from the corner of his eye. Always keeping the Theurge in sight so he can respond to whatever she does, he's not a fantastic singer by any stretch, nor a very evocative dancer, but effort and intent is the point, right? He hopes so anyway.
