Maeljin Attack

    • The impossible fire of the portal parts before your eyes. The reek of the Corruptor overpowers your sense, bringing you to tears so powerful is the stench. You ready your weapons as all the celebrants. The ritual is interrupted as every werewolves, nearly fifty of them prepare to fight the horror the Wyrm has sent to punish you. You count the steps it makes from its infernal home with each sliver of Rage your beating heart send pumping through your veins. You mumble the names of your ancestors, sensing their pride and their anger filling your limbs be righteous fury.

    They emerge from the portal! Not one but two! The first has a skin of burnished brass, red and bloody and fiery. He snarls as a beast gesturing towards you with clawed hands. You see the balefire that fills his immortal form constrained by his armor, dying stars filling his eyes. So it is Rage incarnate, the fury the Wyrm holds for every living thing.

    The second is more constrained and thus perhaps more dangerous. You see a suit of complete armor black as the starless night. On the torso, surrounding a burning heart of emerald fire is represented a three-headed hydra snarling and clawing. His helm mocks you in the form of a snarling wolf head. In his hands he holds a gigantic sword which howls in disharmony with his wearer.

    "YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE BOON THAT WAS OFFERED HOWLERS OF GAÏA. NOW ALL OF YOU SHALL DIE FOR YOUR IMPERTINENCEL! I AM LORD STEEL THE BLACK WOLF OF THE DRAGON, TREASURE MY NAME AS I SEND YOU IN THE EMBRACE OF THE BARREN MOTHER,"

    As he ready himself for battle you understand you have a slight chance from attacking one of them before they jump.


    [] Will you attack the Destroyer?

    [] Will you attack Lord Steel?

    [] Will you await their attack?

    • You don't know if you jump on the destroyer before it jumped on you but you are soon in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the incarnation of Rage. Blood pumps to your Ears and you surrender to the red mist, thinking it will grant you victory in this fight like it did so many times before. Your pack surround you, nimbling at the heels of your opponent and battering it with Gifts and spells.

    Your raging reveals itself as a mistake for your enemy is more ferocious you could ever think being. Claws dig deep into your fur while toxic fire fills your lungs. But you press on scratching the metal hide', swallowing the burning blood, scratching the scaly skin of the Maeljin. Nothing exist to you than your enemy and the burning desire to ravage him and destroy him and maim him and burn him in its own fires.

    However it soon sounds that you can't fight this fight alone, your rage empowers your dreadful enemy as it sustains you and the others are forced to come to your help.

    • If they're available (and they are), we have to go with one of the two other tribes that died out entirely before modern times.
    [X]Croatan
    This tribe pushed an Incarnation of one third of the Wyrm out of the mortal realm. The Wyrm is this things ultimate boss, and each of its three head are thousands of times as powerful as this thing. Sure, it took a ritual where every living member of the tribe gathered together and sacrificed their lives, but still! Even just having representatives of the people who know enough to make a ritual that powerful will be helpful.

    The other choice, of course, is the Bunyip. We don't know !much about them, but their awesomeness can be summed up in a single sentence. They are the Werewolves of Australia.
     
    They pushed it out with a modified version of the Rite of Unending Pursuit and needed to sacrifice their entire Tribe including Ancestors and Kin to do it.
     
    Nope they called the Warders of Men but Glass Walkers is more known.
     
    Victory!

    One of your ennemies' blows strike your head and send you flying across the room. Fortunately for you, before he can lunge for the kill, one of your allies stand between you. It's one of the Pure One a woman still in human form, frail and vulnerable before the Destroyer's rage.

    Or so it seems, for when your foe strikes her, his blow connect with an ethereal shield in the form of a great turtle shell. The woman stands her ground, never attacking but letting the Maeljin boundless wrath exhaust itself against her defenses. You do not know how much time she can hold. Already you can see the scales of the shell blacken and break under the relentless assault. Still she stands, concentrating all her strength in this single Gift.

    At last her shield breaks but the breaking is not what you expected. The shards fly to strike the Maeljin, sending him the full force of his attacks enhanced sevenfold. It's the demon prince's turn to be sent broken across the room, near the gaping wound in reality.

    You know it's the time to end this. The Uktena, Children, Get and Warder are with your pack on this one while their brethren nip at Lord Steel's armour. Your own hands glow with white hot fire while you direct the ressentment of your ancestors aganst the sworn foe of your race. The others contribute with their own gifts, submerging the fiend with claws, ice and magic. Soon he can't maintain a physical form even in the bounds of this accursed place and you see his spirit flee like a black cloud of malice accross the gateway.

    Lord Steel is the next to succumb and with his departure, you see the wound close and be bound under your rites. The battle is won even if many members of your tribes and foreign representatives lie dead and bleeding on the ground.

    How will you celebrate this ?

    [] The Glory way : A great feast with honor, howling for the fallen, great songs and revelry

    [] The Wisdom way : Lead the Stargazers and the Uktena in cataloguing everything, ennemies corpses and texts and everything you can sniff.

    [] The Balance way : Go to your kin and celebrate with them the blow you struck in gaining your land freedom. Profit from the occasion to discuss mariage ties with the other tribes

    [] The Cunning way : Great scathing satires of the Wyrm and his minions will be sung, bitter jokes at your expense and the Corrupter's. The manner with which you were sent from the fight will be a centerpiece.

    [] The Purity way : Great ceremony of thanks for Gaïa and the others spirits, very solemn with planting of hallowed trees on this ground while your shamans lead the cleansing ritual.

    Let's make sure that rift can't reopen anytime soon, mmkay?
     
    Mostly giving you brownie points with the others tribes, some of them who'd like a way of celebrating more than the others.

    That's how I'd want to celebrate putting a boot into the devil's ass.
     
    Now that I remember this land in canon is infested by the 'Wyrm', cleaning this land is a good option.
