[Just to explain how the Difficulty/TN woks here:
6 is basic, with no modifiers. Lupus form gets you -2 Difficulty on all Perception tests, which is countering out the strong scent of the crowds and traffic. +1 Difficulty each.
For Black-Fur's visual check, it's +1 for shadows/cover in the alley, +1 for Blur of the Milky Eye in effect, and -2 for being in Lupus form. Which is, again, TN6.]
Black-Fur-Rises catches sight of the sleek, silver-furred Garou crouched behind the dumpster. He is in Crinos form, clutching a large, black weapon in his claws that Black-Fur is unfamiliar with (though it would explain the cordite smell). Streaks of red mar his coat; he's been injured, but not badly. This is Silver-Fire, it appears. His breathing is steady, less the Rage of battle and more a sense of alert readiness.
Meanwhile, Walks-Forbidden-Trails has succeeded at being adorable. A 20-something woman in a little black dress, obviously inebriated, comes over to pet him, slurring her words. "What a cute malu... mala... m... husky!" she manages, hugging him around the neck and running her fingers through his fur. Her boyfriend, wearing shades at night (but not smelling of vampire) leans over and whispers something in her ear. She slaps him playfully, calling him a pervert.
[Primal-Urge, 2 additional successes]
There are, however, faint traces of vampires' passing through this area. Nightclubs are, after all, among their favorite feeding grounds. None seem to be in the immediate vicinity, however.

Hmm. On the one hand, if this was one of the nightclubs the leeches had crawled under, it would be unwise to singlehandedly take on foes proven to be formidable against a whole pack. On the other hand, if it turned out to be leech free, she might be able to ogle and have some quick fun. On the other other hand, of course the pack had trouble dealing with the leeches earlier because they didn't have her!
Thus resolved, she dived further into the shadows with the Blur of the Milky Eye and set of through the staff and delivery entrance, after taking a quick glance around to be sure no-one was watching.

Black-Fur leaps down from the roof to land near Silver-Fire, growling out the Ragabash's name in the Garou tongue. Nose close to the ground, scenting for others, he slowly rounds the dumpster, rising as he nears the wounded Garou's sight to allow him to view the fullness of his nightblack visage, hoping the sight of such a well-bred wolf will bring some comfort and confidence.

Snatches-Food calls upon the spirits' Gift of concealment without trouble, and her form fades from the attention of passing humans and rodents. Luckily for her, the door has been left open, wedged with a case of bottled, domestic beer - King Breweries Light Lager. The Ragabash slips inside undetected.
The storeroom of the club is full of liquor of many varieties, spare strobe lights, drinking glasses and other supplies. There's an underlying smell of stale alcohol, but nothing too strong. She hears the rattle of a door handle and the scrape of metal against metal; someone is unlocking and opening the other door, entering from the club.
[Black-Fur-Rises burns one temporary Gnosis to activate Inspiration]
The silver-furred Ragabash turns with a start, levelling his weapon at the alley wall and snarling. Then he looks down to see the Lupus-form Garou, and relaxes visibly.
"Hrhh. Glad to see you, Fury. Are your sisters here?" he growls, in the Garou tongue, "The leeches are gone... or waiting in the shadows. Not sure which I am hoping for." He flashes you a wolf-grin.
Storm-Dancer drops into the alley a moment later, landing with a crouch, and running over to embrace her packmate.
"Mrrrff! Easy, Storm-rhya!" comes his muffled cry.

Keeping to the shadows, Snatches-Food darts behind the cover of some supplies, peeking out when she feels confident whoever entering is not looking her way.

A club employee walks in, looking among the shelves for something. Music thrums from the open door. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots something hiding behind the supplies. He goes for a closer look - then, a shout comes from the club, "Michael, hurry up with the goddamn rum or your slow ass is fired!" The employee grabs a pair of bottles and heads out. "I think there's something in there, like a cat or something," he mentions to the manager. "Good," the other man says, "Maybe it'll keep the goddamn rats out."

Black-Fur continues to watch the alley as the pack mates reunite. "I brought others," he responds as way of non-answer to Silver-Fire's question. "How deep are your wounds? Can you run?" He sniffs the air, tasting the scents upon the wind. After a moment, he remarks, "The Strider seems to have lost herself."

Snatches-Food shall sniff the air for leeches, as that will determine her next course of action.

While his pack-leader checks and cleans his wounds - with her tongue, in the manner of wolves - Silver-Fire answers.
"I can run. Fight. The silver didn't bite deep," he says, his voice low and level.
"Weavertech?" Storm-Dancer glances at his mechanical weapon, bemused.
"Leeches on rooftops," he grunts, "Cunning, but never as cunning as a Ragabash. Threw a tire at one. He dropped this over the edge."
Meanwhile, Snatches-Food is certain there are no vampires lurking in the club - or at least, not anywhere near the storeroom.

Hmm...While it would likely be quite nice to have a bit of fun here, there is a leech hunt going on, and the pack would likely have trouble with her gone for more than five minutes. How long has it been?...
Duty, Pride, and Bloodlust rage across the internal battleground against the amassed forces of Gluttony, Greed, and Actual Lust.
[Rolling Willpower to see what Snatches Food will do next...3 successes.]
While the temptations of the carnal sins are manifold, virtue and the mental vices lead a compelling rout against the enemy with the combined promises of both pleasure on acceptance and shame on refusal, aided by the sudden betrayal of Actual Lust to the subversive notes of "You could always find a better nightclub later.".
Alas, duty calls. Sparing only a brief, wistful glance towards the nightclub proper, Snatches-Food sneaks around the other side of the supplies towards the open exit, trying to figure out a route that will lead to the place she needs to go, not wants to go.

The Gaillard lets out a single loud, appreciative yap -- hoping his Garou nature doesn't make it seem like an aggressive bark -- sniffs the woman who kneeled down to pet him pretty throughly, if only because that's what dogs were meant to do.
Sweat and alcohol.
Another Garou might have called the whole thing disgusting,but to one accustomed to the back alleys and turned-down streets like he was, it was the bouquet of home.
He sniffed at her purse, the likeliest place she would have kept a snack of some sort -- a granola bar or something --[[and finds nothing tasty within]] before whimpering as adorably as possible.
Hopes that some wayward Leeches would attack the obvious Garou standing out in the middle of the street were mounting, he was up to about twenty percent, now, but he would have smelled them if they were near enough to mount such an assault, and there was still the probably-traitorous Ragabash to deal with.
If he wasn't going to get fed here, it was best to remove himself from the pretty lady and her pervert boyfriend. He'd have to remember this for another time, though, when he wasn't busy. He'd never used his Lupus form for that before, and found the whole idea intriguing enough to try it once.
With a whimper, he pulled back, barked once, and, assuming no food magically found its way out of the purse, bolted off, following the nearest vampire-trail.

Snatches-Food is in transit, and will arrive on the scene shortly.
Meanwhile, on the streets...
Walks-Forbidden-Trails finds no food in the woman's purse, overwhelmed by her heavy, cloying perfume and the sharp scent of the mace spray she carries mace in the purse. The vampire scent-trails are faint, but the closest one

Walks notices a neon crimson streak catching in the smoke of a clubgoer's cigarette, and a splash of red light painting his fur. he cannot see where it is coming from.

Walks suddenly surges forward, traveling straight for the smoker, and letting loose his single most terrifying howl, barking in the Garou tongue.
"To War! The Hunt is afoot!"
Figuring that the sniper must fire in a normal ballistic arc, he knows that the best thing he could do right now would be to spoil the leech's cover and clear the street of civilians. He does this the best way he knows how, but letting his Garou nature show through in its truest, most frightening form.
Bring on the Delirium!

With muscle, fur and sinew rippling, Walks-Forbidden-Trails assumes his Crinos form, a huge werewolf amidst the crowd of drunken revellers. There are shrieks and shouts of alarm as the humans blindly panic and trample each other in their rush to get as far as they can from the emergent supernatural predator. The herd flees. Walks is left exposed in the street.
In a second-storey apartment in the building across the road, a vampire smiles cruelly. Her finger, lacquered nail and all, closes around the trigger of her submachine-gun as she peers through the window curtain at the Garou howling for battle.
The burst is inaudible over the screams of the crowd.
[Dexterity + Firearms, 4 Successes, TN7 (6+1 recoil)]

The black wolf turns his attention towards the screams. "Trouble," he tells the Talons needlessly as he moves towards the alley's mouth, surging upwards* into Hispo form and using his massive size (and the fact that he's a big honking wolf now) to keep at least this one small patch clear of panicked homids.

Silver-Fire nods and readies his weapon, his talons clacking on the metal, peering out of the alleyway in a low crouch and scanning the rooftops for threats. He sees nothing.
Perception + Primal-Urge, TN7, no successes
"I see nothing, Fury, Storm-rhya," he mutters in a low growl, "They hide well."
"In the windows," Storm-Dancer growls, her hackles up, "Can't see which one."
Perception + Primal-Urge, TN 7, 1 success
Silver-Fire tenses, watching the windows carefully and steadying his aim.

There's a brief glimmer of movement in the upper level, but nothing Black-Fur can pin down.

Thinking was never Black-Fur's strong suit, and this is no time for thinking. Limbs flexing, he leaps with the might of the Hispo to crash through the window where that movement was spotted.

[That's... 70ft in the air, with Hare's Leap. Hell of a jump.]
Black-Fur-Rises crashes through a second-floor apartment's window, shattering glass and tearing out the aluminum frames and curtain rod. Inside is the apartment's kitchen, darkened and in disarray. A startled vampire is on the ground, knocked back from the impact, his pistol on the ground beside him. From the room next door, a female voice is heard - "What the hell was that?!"
