With 2 of the 3 runners dead, one shredded after it was bound up with plants, that now seem to be rotting themselves. The other having an arrow pin it to a tree, suspending it as it died from that archery, the final struggled under Strike of Heaven's tackle, having sprayed him and Mora with that thick, vile green sludge that was acting as blood. The green flame flickered, starting to fade out now that it wasn't attended and the thing that struggled started to slow in its movements.

Strike-of-Heaven was busy telling off his foe one second, and then the next he's got something in his face and it is foul beyond heck. While it doesn't seem to harm him, the tiger looks like he's a hair's breadth from going ballistic and is spitting and shrieking loud enough to wake the dead. His foe is forgotten as he lurches backwards, pawing frantically at his face with no apparent concerns if he claws off his own stripes.

Against the Wind goes right for the nape of the neck of the creature to keep it from getting away when the large tiger jumped away

Mora does not want any of them to get away as she starts to charge right at the last one but she has not caught up yet. she howls a slight as she does make some progress.

How it twists and moves is definitely NOT normal. It'd just avoid Against the Wind's pounce on it, then somehow flexes the other way to avoid Mora's own attempt to stop it as it'd start to skitter off away from them. The lethargy it had before seeming to be a fake as the green flames it had been tending to flares stronger!

Seeing that the thing is trying to get away she looks between it and poor SoH. Well they are moving after it but it's moving so she calls upon her powers once more to try to slow it down before she has Kringer move her to SoH so that she can try to help him..

After missing with his first attempt Against the Wind barrels through the brush attempting to catch up and attack the snake thing.

Strike-of-Heaven isn't dying. He's not dying. Get your shit together, boy! The poor Khan tries to pull himself together and swallow back his Rage, and poor Erin almost gets a wicked clawed cuff in his reflexive need (and gunked vision) to maul something. Thankfully he's of sound enough mind to pull his punch back with a startled hiss. He hangs his head, perhaps just a bit embarrassed by his outburst, and gives it a shake as the pervasive gunk oozes and crawls and itches at his skin. Minus his own scratch marks, he doesn't seem injured, but he definitely seems freaked out.

As Against the Wind and Mora deal with the one that tries to get away, they manage to once again trap it, this time Against the Wind pinning it down with that bite. Mora takes a chunk out of it, making it jerk and spasm. Looks like it's probably dying now, as the green flame sputters as if a strong wind swept through the area.. Although there's no wind to be had at the moment.

Against the Wind isn't letting up, as thing has already played possum once. He continues to keep his massive jaw locked around the prey's throat and releases deep throaty primal growls as he continues to tear the snake to shreds.

Mora rushes in lupus as Winds rushes in Hispo she latches on to its leg doing little damage but suddenly lets go as something foul tastes like acid as it burns hard. she leaps back to get her dagger ready to take a slice at it as she shifts in to Crinos.

Erin actually jumps back when SOH almost swings at her "Hey hey relax.. Just relax" she jumps off Kringer "Go help them if they need it" she pats the panther who takes off as fast as it can to find the other two as Erin begins slowly try to help SOH as she begins to chant once more and draw in the air. I am SOH is like WTF take this off me you woman! She finishes her chant with a hop and touching SOH's chest and suddenly it's like woof it's all clear and healed as she wipes his face as the final step "Better?" she says softly. Boy she is strange.

Strike-of-Heaven doesn't protest the woman trying to heal him, though he looks downright twitchy while she does her work. Once does, the cat lets out a loud huff of air like he could finally breath, the tension briefly leaving him before his head jerks back upwards and towards the others. Shit, the fight! But they seem to have it under control. The Khan twitches his tail once with a low, dismayed grunt but at least has the politeness to butt his head against Erin's hand in thanks.

Mora shows she has some skills with blades as she takes a the chance as she makes a powerful lunge as the dagger strikes the heart and exits the back. As in the adrenaline is still kicking in she howls something as the like of dead mother fucker right here.

Kringer arrives to Mora and AtW and isn't even panting as it looks to see if they need help its tail sways back and forth.

Erin blinks as SoH bumps her with his head and she smiles giving him a bit of a pet only one before she steps out of its way.

Against the Wind releases the dead snake thing as it dies out and then immediately starts moving about the area sniffing and tracking trying to find the trail where they came from. He knows the three paths they just recently took to flee, now he is looking to find the path they took to get here.

Ildar in that Crinos form, comes walking back towards where the fire had been at. Now that the green flame is out, it's able to be seen that it's the charred and partly charred remains of human limbs. Only even without the fire's damage, they look sickly and deformed. Twisted in whatever existence they had before being used as kindling.

The area around that source of the slowly dissipating smoke all has the same sort of scent. Rot and a vileness that seeks to crawl into the very soul. It's almost impossible to tell where they had come from, as it looks like they landed a short distance away and just shuffled to where the flame was at.

Ildar comes back from his own kill, shifting once again to human form as he'd look to the others. "Everyone ok? Anyone hurt?"

Against the Wind doesn't appear to injured, just pissed off. He paces back in forth in his Hispo form. <From the Velvet Shadow? check?> growls out the large beast.

Mora starts to calm down as she starts to get a very annoyed look on her face "damn it I" said as she shifts to Glabro form "I think I need a cleansing I feel the corruption all over me." she is looking her dagger like she might have to cut skin off.

Strike-of-Heaven retakes his human form once they're back towards the fire, all the easier to converse. "Not hurt-hurt, but whatever those are, their blood is corrupting. I could feel it before she healed me." He gestures towards Erin. "I know the ritual of Cleansing. I imagine it's not much different among us as it is you. The purpose is the same, at least."

Looking to Mora "I can try to heal you too if you want me too" she offers. Wow she asks her permission and totally put her hands on SOH without any then again he was kinda freaking out so I mean totally not her fault. She rocks on her heels as Kringer comes and rubs his head against her.

Ildar nods a little, frowning as he glances around. "Ok. Erin? I'm going to ask you to race back with your companion. Get some backup to help cover the rest of this section. We need a report of what happen to get back to them promptly." He nods to Mora then. "I can cleanse.." A nod is given to Strike of Heaven then. "And you can too. There's a few spots to cleanse it looks like."

Ildar looks over to Erin and nods a little. "That'll work. You help her, then get back to get a report in. We'll cleanse the area. Mora and Against the Wind? Once you're recovered, please keep alert for any others. This was odd.. I don't like the feel of it."

Mora lays on the ground "Go ahead Erin." is all she says letting her to do that and hopes it removes the ickiness in her. Then Ildar speaks "that would be good to I should be healed up soon."

Against the Wind is already on the alert and blending into the shadows to start his patrol around the area while the others do their cleansing thing.

Erin nods to Ildar "Who am I talking too? It will only take me about a moment to get there" she points out before she turns to Mora and does almost the same waving of hands jumping on one foot and waving her hands in the air before touching Mora and poof she's healed
