[@Guardian Angel Haruki] [@Vertigo] [@rush99999] [@Randomguy] Dimple succeeds in shooing away the flies around him so they returned to the much tastier option: the auroch, which was now lying on the ground, unable to do much besides aimlessly thrash around. As such, there is nothing hindering Pepper as she approaches the fallen beast, allowing her to cauterise the wounds with her flames. The auroch gets a final spike of panic, causing it to thrash around a little more... before it seems to weaken. Anyone paying attention to its eyes will notice that they clear up for a brief moment, suddenly becoming fully aware of its situation before its eyelids calmly flutter close and it becomes still. After the creature remained still for some time, a few villagers join Pepper on the ground, Gokuanni among them, and they tend to the beast's body, making certain that whatever was infecting the auroch is well and truly dealt with. They also make certain to take care of the remaining flies, just in case their consumption of the auroch's blood caused them to become infected as well. While this whole situation was pretty horrifying for everyone, Arnannel, Dimple, Pepper and Capriccio will all notice that, now that the dust has settled, the villagers approach the aftermath with a kind of grim acceptance. It's clear that while some aspects of this incident are unusual, this isn't the first withered creature they've had to deal with. [hider=OOC]Combat is now over! Pepper's flames cauterised the wound and any remaining traces of whatever was plaguing the auroch will be taken care of by Alula's healers and spellcasters. You are all free to do as you wish now, be it interact with each other, talk to any of the nearby villagers or what have you.[/hider]
