(Oops. "Rabbit" was a typo, but forgetting you were back in the War Tavern was bad).


There was more nervous shuffling, but it ended when Unknown Rabbit remembered the word "lure" and volunteered to head up the water tower. He set off before anyone else realised.
"Good," said Batty, "I really didn't want to get ticked off."
"Wait... how are we going to lure it to the watchtower?" asked Unknown Rabbit.
"Let's see what's in here..." said Batty, rummaging around in his backpack. A can of yellow paint landed at Unknown's feet.
"Anything else?" he asked. Batty extracted a motorised pump.
"What we really need," announced Rocky, "is the biggest Lori monument we can find."
"But where are we going to find a monument big enough that we can move to the tower?" asked Batty.
"Something hollow wood be good."
"Yes. Inflatable maybe."
"Like that rubber rabbit costume."
"Only yellow. And bigger. Full of air, say."
"But all we have is the costume, this can of yellow paint, and that motorised pump."
"I've got it!" interjected Batty, "We paint ourselves yellow, use the motorised pump to dry ourselves quickly, and use the costume to tie us together so we look like a big Lori!"
"Actually, I've got a better idea," said Haze.

An hour or two later, the yellow inflated costume was being propped up against the water tower. The taverners settled down to wait. The giant sponge-like thing turned and started rolling towards them. It picked up speed, and didn't bother putting it back again. The faster it went, the more it rumbled.
"It's noisy," said Ducky, "a little too noisy."
