> Narrow our eyes and lower our voice.
> "I know you're there. I saw the movement."

[Hello Purvis]

> Narrow our eyes and lower our voice.

>The grass doesn't seem to be interested in answering you.

> Slowly approach the grass.

[Hello Purvis]

> Slowly approach the grass.

> Keep approaching until the grass moves again or until we can figure out what it is. Keep a spell card in hand.

[Kilgamayan]

> Well, have the knife in hand instead of the spell card, since our current card is the only one we've got and it's not in tip-top shape right now.
> And keep the knife in hand in the bucket, so it's not as obvious we have it.

>You approach the grass, while readying your knife and keeping your hand hidden. The swaying slows; whatever is there is clearly not moving anymore.
>As you draw closer, you become aware that something is there; there is the hint of a "hole" in the grass where it's laying. You can't make it out; the tall grass does well to obscure it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Float up a bit, then over the 'hole' so we can see it from above.

[Hello Purvis]

> Float up a bit, then over the 'hole' so we can see it from above.

>You float upward a bit, then forward. 
>Suddenly it explodes into motion, a person in brown springing forward; toward you!

[Kilgamayan]

> Swerve to the left!
> Turn our head to track their movement if we successfully dodge.

[Hello Purvis]

> Swerve to the left!

>And then the bottom of your bucket falls out, leaving you to tumble into the grass. It is sad that your journey has to come to an end here...
