Feliana hesitantly nods before making her way back across the bridge she had carried Prino over earlier.

As Dimple begins his prayer, he immediately feels the attention of something far bigger and grander than himself zero in on him. While his eyes are closed, he no longer feels as if he's hovering in the middle of Alula. He feels likes he's somewhere else, somewhere deeper within the Fanewick, standing in the shadow of some colossal creature, larger than even the auroch that is attacking the village, and much, [i]much[/i] older. The sounds of Alula in chaos seem to fade away for a moment as Dimple is seeming trapped in this being's presence, as if under some divine judgement. 

Then this being breaks the silence with a loud bellow, much deeper than the one the auroch had made earlier. Dimple is forced out of his mind, his eyes involuntarily opening as he finds himself back in Alula, floating over the auroch. The presence and the feeling of being somewhere else, somewhere ethereal and ancient, had faded.

But he can still hear that bellow, and it seems he is not the only one. Several villagers pause in whatever they doing, be they villagers starting to panic or hunters and guardsmen readying to fight against the auroch. Even the auroch itself lifts up its ears, and then its whole head to sky. If anyone were paying attention to its eyes, they're notice they neither look unfocused nor angry.

Its eyes look... wistful, as it is temporarily distracted from its rage.

[hider=OOC]Somewhere deep within the Fanewick, Rohkin hears Dimple's prayer and responds with his approval. The Auroch is temporarily distracted and Dimple has advantage on his next roll against the Auroch.[/hider]

As Arnannel near the top of the ladder, a hand reaches down, grasping his shoulder and pulling him the rest of the way up. It was the older human hunter who had ascended before him. The other hunters are around him. A couple are still regarding Arnannel suspiciously, but most of them are focused on the auroch. At Pepper's magically-enhanced shout, the human hunter motions to his comrades. "You heard the girl," he said. "Light some arrows and starting firing at the bastard!" As the other hunters start readying themselves, the hunter turns his attention back to Arnannel. "You seem pretty good with a bow," he said. "Mind helping out?"

Pepper's shout draws the attention from several hunters and watchmen, including the green ribbit who had previously called out to her, who were now hurrying to battle stations and readying their bows.

The auroch was thankfully too distracted by the sudden bellow from somewhere else in the Fanewick to pay attention to her... but her shout [i]does[/i] draw the attention of something else. Pepper hears the sound of high-pitched buzzing as several bloated, fist-sized flies come flying out of the foliage, drawn by the scent of rot the auroch is radiating. Since Pepper is the closest thing when they emerge, they made a beeline for her and start swarming.

[hider=OOC]I'm a spending a Fear token to make an additional GM move, introducing a new adversary: a swarm of large flies. They attempt to attack Pepper, but they roll a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29810]4[/url]. Apparently they're so drunk on the scent of rot they are unable to land an attack on her.

... That was a great use of a Fear Token, good job, me. xD[/hider]

Greenbeard, Mito and Spix all follow Capriccio out of the pub, and all four of them witness the chaos that Alula has become. Cappricio will just about hear Pepper's shout, drawing attention to where she is, currently being swarm with flies. He'll also see several hunters and watch-men readying bows and torches to rain fiery arrows upon the auroch, who is temporarily distracted by a distant bellow.

Who will Capriccio help?
