They would if that pack member was a distraction with an escape route mapped out.
1)What escape route? They are stealthy, not invisible, not in light.
Cat Sith may be able to teleport, but these cant.
2)Distraction for what?
There's 2x Exalts, a Temple Dog, nine ghouls and a heroic mortal here.
Malks try to avoid jumping wizards who are aware of them.
They arent going to warn a hell lord they are here, and then start a fight.
Where a Nevernever Way opens to in the Dresden-verse depends on the character of the place in the real world. Molly has totally transformed the character of the place, turning it from a place of cold, hunger and desperation, to one where an archdevil gives her new thralls hope of mercy being granted in servitude to her.
That's very different thematic associations, and not one that would take you to Winter's domain.
1)The
current character of the place in the real world is only one factor.
There is no thematic reason why the Way between Chicago and Edinburgh should open behind an old meatpacking factory, for instance.
2)Yes, I do agree that the real world to NeverNever correspondence of places can and do change.
However. There is no textev that Ways and Waygates are subject to the same limitations as far as I know.
The only commentary I recall on Ways was back in Changes, and that they do change, but not on any sorta known schedule or with any sort of correlation known to anyone.
Else Maggie LeFay's jewel-map of the Ways and Waygates would have been hopelessly obsolete by the time it fell into Harry Dresden's hands 35 years after her death, and more than four decades after she did any serious updating.
Furthermore, we know Way nexuses do not appear to change.
The Hidden Halls of Edinburgh sit on one, and went from a Sidhe stronghold to White Council HQ and has stayed that way for five hundred years even as the city above it has changed drastically.
Hell, Chicago has been important as a crossroads since before Chicago was even a city.
