Pepper's eyes widened at the sound of buzzing, and she turned to the source to see the largest carrion flies she's ever seen! She started panicking as she repeated, "[color=f49ac2]Nonononono-![/color]" She lets out a scream as they swarm around her and she reacts by moving and waving around her wand uselessly. Thankfully, her frantic movements did keep the flies from biting her. She could feel tears start to well again as the familiar sense of being overwhelmed appears again. She felt like curling up into a ball again...

[color=8bb9c3][i]"Pepper!"[/I][/color]

His voice breaks through the chaos in her mind, crystal clear like a bell! Her eyes open wide once again as she tries to communicate in return, "[color=f49ac2][I]Capriccio?! Is that you?![/I][/color]"

[color=8bb9c3][i]"Yes, hello, it's me! I know, not [b]quite [/b]the happy reunion I would've imagined either, but, well,"[/i][/color]

As he mentally cleared his throat and gathered his thoughts, Pepper couldn't help but wonder if he really was here, or if she was imagining this. But, regardless, it's clear that he's not done: The line of telepathy is still open! 

[color=8bb9c3][i]"My promise from back then still stands; you're not alone. Help is on the way."[/i][/color]

Her eyes widen again, but this time, the fear is gone and replaced with hope. She could even feel her heart flutter as the encouragement reaches her. She thinks back to Capriccio, "[color=f49ac2][I]Right! Thank you, Capriccio![/I][/color]" 

She then realizes that she is dealing with carrion flies, and the line of telepathy may have ended with, "[color=f49ac2][I]Oh! I have an idea![/I][/color]"

She then takes in a deep breath through her nose and focuses her attention on the flies and the magic she learned. There is a spell that can help with this: A spell that would not only push the flies away from her, but she could also use it to keep them off of her. They're attracted to the smell of rot, so why not let them help by consuming the Auroch and the parasitic plant?

She raises her wand and the wind kicks up, alighting in pale pink and green ribbons of light. As she waves the wand, the affected winds pick up as many of the engorged flies as possible, entrapping them in the whirlwind. She speaks the incantation, and after speaking the incantation, she tells the flies, 

"[color=f49ac2]The buffet's over there, you hedonistic, gluttonous flies![/color]" She then gives a final wave of her featureless wooden wand, and the wind flings the flies at the Auroch, and far from her! Hopefully, with any luck, the flies will simply chow on the Auroch.

[hider=OOC]Pepper will use her turn to use Power Push from the Book of Ava to fling the swarm of flies at the Auroch.

The Spellcast Roll was a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29820]15[/url] with Fear, and the Damage roll is a [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/29821]9[/url] Magic Damage.

If the Spellcast roll is not enough, Pepper will use her Rally Die. But if it is enough, then she'll hold onto the Rally Die. [/hider]
