I'm getting to it.

So Lucky rounded us all up and we trekked out by the mushwood groves. While singing.

♪ Off into the woods we go~
Off to kill a thing~
Fueled by boozeahol and lo!
This our song we sing!

[surprisingly, Zel can sing, even using falsetto.]

Which led to an argument, of course, because it's us. Scowl and Sparta were all 'Well, there goes stealth', and Lucky and Boomer were like 'it's a plant; we don't need stealth'. Boomer because he and I were in charge of light, so of course he was happy, 'ba-da boom'.

[is attempting to mimic their voices, as per Trixie's request.]

Ask Lucky, not me. She was pretty drunk at the time, though.

So, we find this clearing, with all kinds of blue glowing rocks and mushroom trees. And look for the lureman's light. You know what it's like -- looks like sunlight. Smells like it too.

Anyway, everyone wants to knock over trees and Boomer was 'let's set things on fire', but Enigma was more of 'let's have a plan. Arson, catch some bait'. So we threw a frog at it first, to see how big it was.

Man, if I didn't want to hang around to make sure no one got killed, I think I would have given up and gone home.

It would be awesome if we weren't going to jump into its clutches.

So we decide to have Arson make boxes so one of us -- Sparta -- can jump to the center without getting in the plant's way. Which was pretty nice, actually -- I didn't realize Sparta was that agile. Scowl gives the lureman a poisoned frog, just in case.

Then Boomer gets bored and tosses a fireball into the center of the clearing.

No one died. It came close, though -- the smart members of our teams got out of the way when the thing tried to grab us.

I don't remember much of what happened, because I tried to distract the lureman. I flew over to the other side and started splashing around. Threw some fire of my own. I figured I'm probably the least edible, though the lureman was too dumb to realize that.

	But if it had got you, you'd still be stuck swimmin' around in icky digestive juices. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't remind me. Boomer and I fireballed its maw before it swallowed, and I flew him out of there. Well, after I picked myself up from the swampy water where it threw me. By that time, Sparta had almost grabbed the lure, and the poison we fed it finally took effect. So Scowl gets credit for the kill, and Arson and Sparta for the nab. Arson's a pretty solid kid.
