More support has come from the Grove! Balsam, who is one of the Gauntlet fighters, knows his way around fighting a fearsome Teufel. Being Consumed just adds a bit of extra excitement to this particular fight. His loyal Icefisher Stork is here to throw some extra weight behind him as well.

A battle analysis from me and Mocles!
@FloatinInSpace What was once gasps and oohs from the crowd around the mess hall tent has now changed to cheers and the passing of pebbles as bystanders place bets. Aster and his Relentless Vortexcanis step into the tent, discovering the sheer chaos a consumed monster can unleash. Seeing other lupins and their companions thoroughly exhausted, Aster leaps to action!

60 Remaining! @purplepleb Snow White and their Kitfish hear commotion outside the fairgrounds and run to see what's going on. Over the din of the crowd, she hears, "Aster! Aster! Aster!" Pushing through the crowd, she pokes her head into the tent and sees a lupin, who must be Aster. Aster was clinging desperately to the back of the consumed Teufel as it savagely bucked and kicked. In a sudden dramatic fashion, the consumed Teufel kicks hard, sending Aster reeling high into the air to the crowd's delight. Seeing Aster crash hard onto the ground, Snow White instinctually jumps in, in hopes of distracting the creature long enough to let Aster get to safety. The Teufel huffs at what appears to be their next challenger and charges!

Miss! 0 Primal 0 Healer 56 Remaining! @spoot Clara, guided by her Icerun Enderling, rushed to the scene. Fortunately, it looks like many other likeminded lupins have arrived. What could have been a disastrous end to the Unity Games seems to be shifting into a conclusive event! The crowd is now openly cheering for what they presumably believe to be contestants in a battle to stop the Consumed Teufel. Perhaps wanting to show the crowd the might of Murkwood after their pitiful performance during Lorball, Clara charges in!

@Aurelia Bodhi and Broch, not wanting to be left out of whatever is happening, rush to the scene! Bodhi quickly assesses the situation and runs to aid the other lupins. His Broch, on the other hand...well, we all know what they say about Brochs: "Small and very nimble, but they have an appetite to match a Moorbear!" Bodhi's Broch, discovering that they are in a mess hall, immediately disregards their own safety and begins to gorge themselves on as much food as they could!
What was once a battle of taking down the Consumed Teufel turned into a battle to keep the Teufel from stepping on the absent-minded. food-crazed Broch! Lorwolves pounced, wrestled, and were thrown by the Teufel, as somehow the Broch always managed to be chasing a tomato or some other round fruit between the Teufel's legs. The crowd was thoroughly enjoying this comical encounter; however, Bodhi was slightly embarrassed that their companion was causing so much trouble. Bodhi called out to his Broch in hopes of attracting it away from the danger.
Unfortunately, his call was ill-timed. The Broch, smiling with a mouth full of food, turned around while holding their favorite dish, a pristine Mika's Pudding that somehow survived the chaos in the mess hall. As the Broch waved excitedly towards the favorite food they found, the consumed Teufel hoof slammed down right on it! The pudding spattered across the floor and all over the Broch. Bodhi pushes past the other lorwolves to console his friend, but his Broch raises their paw, signaling for him to stop. There is an uneasy tension in the air; the crowd and even the Teufel grew quiet. Bodhi's Broch sniffed, and a single tear was wept.
A commonly forgotten fact about Brochs is that their incredibly high metabolism provides them with Abnormal Speed, and that the commonly docile creatures will hold incredible Grudges against anything that gets between them and their food.
Bodhi shivered and stepped back, for he knew that if Mika's Pudding wasn't for dinner, the Teufel sure would be! Noticing Bodhi's movement, all the other lorwolves step back as well. After wiping the pudding off their face, the Broch's body begins to quiver with rage. The Teufel gives a confused look to the lorwolves who shake their heads "no" and step further back. Hesitantly, the Teufel whinnies and stomps their hooves. Unfazed, the Broch undoes their handkerchief satchel, dropping numerous spices and cooking utensils. The Broch then takes their handkerchief and ties it around their head as a headband. Overconfidently, the Teufel rears up and stomps down on the Broch.
With sudden speed the Broch draws forth a butter knife and spreads butter on the ground before darting away. The Teufel slams down and immediately slips! Before it could regain its balance, the Broch sprints around and tosses union powder directly into its face! The Teufel, blinded and unable to stand on the buttered floor, whinnies and attempts to bite the Broch. However, the Broch is too fast. Instead of biting air, the Teufel gets all manners of fruits and vegetables stuffed down its throat! The Broch, its rage not yet sated, unleashes a plume of flour, salt, and pepper upon the Teufel. The Teufel, now blind, slipping, sliding, coughing, sputtering, and sneezing, tries to put up a fight but fails. What came next was all sorts of seasoning and meat tenderizing of the consumed Teufel at the hands of the apparently master chef Broch.
Huffing out of breath and ready to finish the Teufel steak he is preparing, the Broch withdraws his metal meat tenderizer. Bodhi, confident that this is going too far, steps forward to stop his friends. Fortunately, the tenderizer drops to the ground with a clank as the Broch locks eyes with an audience member in the crowd. The lorwolf, stuffing their face full of freshly popped buttered popcorn, looks around to see who the Broch is looking at. Bodhi's Broch licks their lips, and the popcorn-carrying, realizing they are the target, sprints away, as Bodhi's Broch chases after them! Bodhi just sighs with relief and shakes their head.
