[Until Death] These things are tough.

Their armor makes landing a hit difficult, even with a weapon as large and powerful as a labrys or as quick and lethal as a set of falcatas. Until Death takes her own advice and lopes behind the Bane on her left, getting behind it and lowering her ax like a lumberjack, only to find it glancing off of its armor. She snarls, heaves again, and manages to take a chip out of its carapace.

It's not enough.

Kindly One does not take the Ahroun's advice and get behind the two Banes. She comes in from the side, and with a quick one-two swipe of her two-handed weapons she manages to draw gray blood. It shows no signs of slowing the beasts down. They do just as Until Death was afraid they were going to do.

They surround her.

They are absolutely vicious in their attack of the larger and stronger of the two Furies. The one they had been focusing their attack slips away from the assault and, with its packmate, flank the Ahroun. Her right leg explodes in a plume of blood and gristle, dropping her to the ground with a scream of rage. She's crippled, and a moment later, she's unconscious, a metallic claw slicing open her neck and leaving her bleeding on the Umbral pavement.

It makes Kindly One see red. Her own Rage spikes, that which she expends in order to strike out with her falcata quickly replenished. She tears off another piece of dusty carapace, but it isn't enough. A bite glances off of her sister's neck, but a second falling claw ends her life. Briefly, they can feel her lost to Stheno, can feel her flame extinguish...

... and then she's exploding to her feet, dropping her labrys and swinging out at whatever she can find. She doesn't come back to life to find her sister at her side. Her sister is in a state of berserk bloodlust herself. There is a very real chance they're going to tear each other to pieces with the Ooralaths' assistance.

And in the distance, the rumbling grows louder.

And they've come running.

[Until Death] It's hard to tell whether the Squad of Ultimate Badasses would have been coming home in one piece were it not for the descent of the Sentinels upon their location. One of the young women is crippled and bleeding, come back from the dead and spiraled into a frenzy, while the other one is untouched but likewise gripped by the berserk energy of one who has just faced insurmountable loss and been unable to retain her sanity because of it.

The Fostern and her two brothers fly out of nowhere, in Hispo and ready for a fight, throwing themselves at one of the hulking Ooralath with an abandon that has contributed to the hypothesis that there isn't a sane one amongst the surviving members of the pack.

End Transmission lives up to her name, ending the first Bane with a puff of dust and a clatter of armor on the dusty Umbral ground with a single bite. She turns her attention to the spirit's companion, snapping her jaws twice in rapid succession to no avail, while the frenzied Fury does likewise. The lone Ahroun among them tears a large chunk out of the Bane's carapace, causing it to shriek in pain; after Word on the Street chips away at it it wheels on Kindly One, lacerating her shoulder down to the bone and nearly separating it from her body.

She doesn't even feel it.

Up from behind the Sentinels pops another Ooralath, dripping earth and flailing its claws immediately. Broken Hammer turns to face it head-on, tearing away half of its unholy armor to reveal the filthy nothingness beneath. The Fury females finish off the last of the duo, while the two newest Sentinels dispatch the surprise contender a moment later, three bites sending its armor crashing to the ground in a sad heap.

The two Furies collapse a moment later, the cause of their frenzy abolished, and when they come to, Until Death seems drained, though her Rage is nowhere near tapped and is overpowering her ability to control herself. She reverts to her breed form, revealing an absolutely mangled right leg, and, grimacing, pulls a small clay gourd from her rose-colored jacket. She breaks it over not her own wound but her sister's, leaving her shoulder completely healed; she repeats the action with her destroyed leg, leaving the laceration on her neck and the absence of skin on her hamstring, and then she hitches herself to her feet.

Picking up one of the carapaces not for a trophy but for talens, she sniffs, then reaches into her jacket pocket for a half-smoked, extinguished cigarette. She eyes it, then decides to save it for later.

"Thanks," she mumbles to the Sentinels, the first words she has spoken to any of them since she met Echo and the last she speaks to them today. She's going back to the Brotherhood.

[Kindly One] Maybe it's because she didn't get enough sleep last night, which was less sleep than the night she had before that. Maybe that's why when the creatures focused their attention on her sister, Kindly One was not able to protect Until Death. Maybe that's why the sight of her sister dropping, that faint flickering along the totem link that meant she'd almost lost her, made her lose her mind.

Whatever the reason, when Alek felt her sister nearly go forever, she howled with fury and rage. She lost her mind, dropped her swords to the ground and launched herself at the armored pack creatures. Which...was not a good thing to have done. Alek is a trained fighter, a strong warrior, so long as there's a bladed weapon in her hand. Without the falcatas and their familiar range and accuracy, Alek is all but useless in a fight.

She does what she can, not so mindless that she attacks those who would help her and her sister. Those packed under Bear arrive, strong and brutal as the war totem they follow. In seconds, the creatures the Furies could barely handle are laid low.

It takes a little longer for the red curtain to lift from Alek's eyes. When she no longer trembles with wrath and a need for vengeance, she takes stock of her surroundings. She finds her sister out in the small crowd, and goes to her. From somewhere, she pulls a small vial of liquid, smashes it open, and sprinkles the contents over her sister's wounds, expending more of her spiritual energy to ensure the wounds are completely closed.

And so they heal each other. Whether Irene appreciates it or not.

The Alpha of the Squad turns to the Sentinels. Two of their number know her already. She inclines her head to them. "For your assistance, Sentinels of Bear, I think you." Oddly formal for an eighteen year old girl. She retrieves her fallen blades, and returns them to the sheaths of her forearms. She catches up with Irene easily, and together they head back to The Brotherhood.

[Until Death] [I'm out! Thanks again guys!]

[End Transmission] End Transmission doesn't even have the chance of volunteering to heal either of the Furies.

The two young women simply regain their senses, collect their weaponry and depart; as if nothing had ever happened at all. Echo Quinn, the smallish Hispo wolf tilts her head, her ears flicking back and forth and watches them go. Her acknowledgment of thanks is as simple as a excitable whuff! before she nudges her brothers and sets about cleaning up any sign that there had been a battle at all; tail wagging back and forth.

Energized, as always, by a bit of rough and tumble.

[Broken Hammer] The rawboned, feral Forseti says nothing. He keeps to the Fostern's side, waiting until she gives the all-clear to go home. Or continue the patrol.

(sorry for shittastic post! at work!)

[End Transmission] [NP! We can pretty much finish whenever, and assume Echo cleanses the area and they report back to Hatchet or whatnot!]
