I disagree, firstly it was a classic off screen death and if we've learnt anything from comics, movies and tv someones not dead till we've seen their mutilated body (and perhaps not even then).EHKOS said:Nines. No way he survived that werewolf attack.
Secondly yes you physically cannot kill the werewolf (except for the awesome crushing that I personally discovered completely by accident and loved). But Nine's is older and potentially more powerful than you. He's at least 80 years old which isn't that much compared to some elders, but you're not even a year old (but you're meant to have amazing potential). Also in the RPG, which I've not had a lot of experience with, but generation descended from an antidiluvian also equals power. So Nines may be relatively young but might have been sired by a powerful elder.
Next he's a Brujah, two of their main powers revolve around speed (celerity) and strength (potence?). If you have high enough celerity out-maneuvering the werewolf is a lot easier. Finally the were-wolf and him were both tumbling down a steep mountain. It not un-imaginable that Nine used his speed to ride the were-wolf gandalf style making sure it took the large brunt of the damage, before having a brutal fight where he killed the wounded were-wolf with his brute strength (+/- the desert eagle and grenades we know he might be carrying).
And even then Nine's was in such a condition that he was almost dead at least a day later, as you leave the park just before dawn, spend a night in your haven, then make the run for the cab. We're talking creatures that can basically fully regenerate with enough blood, so to still be wreaked enough not to be able to help you means he was probably very close to dead when he was found.
Now whether or not it would be a better plot point for him to be dead is another issue. But it's not impossible.
