Amascut, in an effort to cause more destruction, recently set a number of plagues on Sophanem, including swarms of locust and a disease that causes the victim to develop spots on their face. The cows too have become diseased, although with a different illness. Though not as severe as some of the plagues, they have reduced trade and supplies within the city. Attempting to pet them will result in one of the following messages: "Awww, look at the poor sick cow. We'd never make a burger out of you." "Don't worry cow, I'm sure somebody will find a cure for this plague soon."
