Sarai replies, in Hebrew, "I am reporting a lycanthrope infestation, specifically werewolves, at Ofrit Military Base. No uninfected humans were seen, as of 17:00 hours today. Containment is an immediate need. We have reason to believe one of the participant pairs in the Grail War has gone off leash, as it were. Respectfully suggest the Church be informed, and request resolution from them pertaining to the rules of engagement. We were unable to contain due to a lack of personnel and silvered weapons."

The line goes silent for a moment, but the voice speaks up once again, “Warbeak, please repeat. Werewolves have not been present in the world since their disappearance after the Age of Gods, aside from a few select populations in Europe. Are you sure that this is what you saw?”
If Sarai, or Caster as well (since he can understand the language), would like to make a History or Arcana check with advantage, please do.

Despite being a magical creature of similar nature to werewolves, Sarai is not too familiar with their disappearance other than they migrated alongside other magical creatures to another plane. Caster, meanwhile, knows a great deal. Werewolves, dragons, pegasi, fairies, all of these and more fall under the category of “Phantasmal Species.” After the end of the Age of Gods, such creatures fled to the Reverse Side of the World, a mirror dimension under the effects of the laws of the Age of Gods. There they now reside and spend their days. There are some that remained, but they are few and far between. Furthermore, as a bonus, it is also where the paradise Avalon resides.
Sarai listens to Caster, then responds to the speaker on the other end. "Dead certain, down to the stench of their breath. No mistaking them, and there are dozens. It appeared the entire base was overrun and infected. There have been other reports around Jerusalem, and this corroborates them."

"Nothing," Sarai says. "The Church will be informed. My people will be in touch. We should secure the tower for the night. That was the intent of setting up here, no?"

Sarai makes a warbling sound that might be laughter, and her beak opens and her head shakes a little. "You are right, Oz, that is funny. Yes, it was quite an eventful night. It looks like a werewolf, or a werewolf Servant, more likely, got to the base before us, and infected all the humans there. Dream got in and out with a small amount of what we wanted, and we were woefully unprepared, what with no silver. There was a little tension when a few of the dogs jumped on the catbus plane, but nothing we could not handle. You would have enjoyed it."
If we knew a threat was imminent, Sarai would exit the tower and set up a blind+Pass Without Trace, possibly with Virgil-intercom in tow. When she needed to, she would fly back to the tower as a sparrow, fly in through an arrow slit, and we would proceed from there.
But given that we don't know if a threat is coming, or rather, we don't know when, she's not sure if that is the best plan.
"Do we have some sort of early warning system? Ideally, we'd know if someone was coming... five or ten minutes before they arrived, that would be enough time."

Her plea to share information largely ignored, Imani snorts and turns to the nearest arrowslit. She beckons Virgil over to her and cups her hands to give him a place to stand. After a moment, she sends the little stone frogbeast out into the darknening sky.
"So. Right now we're sitting a little prettier than before." She raps a knuckle against her illusioned body armor. "I can only imagine that Oz and I will be the targets tonight- Dream, would it make the most sense if you were nearby to act as our bodyguard? Sarai can manage the windows and Caster can blast them from the roof if they get close."
She looks at the others, confident but out of her depth. "Sound good?"
