>You look around for something heavy. There is a rather sizable stone amid the mess where the spirit first emerged.

>You scoot over toward the stone a bit at a time, sliding the pot ahead of you then getting what little leverage you can out of your legs and forcing yourself forward. After repeating this a few times, you are within reach of the rock. It is a big, oblong stone about the side of a good construction block.

>You wrap your legs around the pot. The spirit's attempts to escape do not get any worse, but it is much harder to hold them off now. Thankfully, it seems to have worn out a bit since you first caught it, otherwise you might be in trouble. You pick up the rock, grunting a bit from the sudden weight, and gently put it on top of the pot. It balances fairly well, you think.

Sorry, wasn't around to put the finishing touches on the pot-ghost, but it was handled just about perfectly.

Well, now that we have it, what do you want to do with it?
