The city guards of Novid arrived at the scene and cleaned up the aftermath of the brawl.
In the end, one Puki Master and two mercenaries were seriously injured, while another mercenary died on the spot.
As the fight concluded, all the Pukis self-destructed, and the shockwave from the explosion completely destroyed the tavern's entrance, lightly injuring two unfortunate onlookers.
Fortunately, there were no more casualties; most of the adventurers were seasoned pros who, upon seeing the conflict escalate, had long since skillfully hidden at a safe distance to watch the spectacle.
Drunken adventurers brawling and even killing someone was not uncommon in such border towns.
In fact, having one death and three injuries was far from the worst outcome in such incidents.
But this time was completely different; it represented the increasingly intense conflict between local adventurers and the emerging Puki Master group.
