Grosssss. Well, the net, whatever, seems to have worked. Whoopie. We set up like 20 or so nets around the spots we saw the most Squonks flying out of, and we managed to catch one. Though, #53 wasn't totally right. It's not the "thud" that scares them to death—it is probably the kick, after all. However, when they're tangled up in a net, they don't have a chance to run off before dissolving into a puddle of tears. So we finally got the boogers or whatever, plus a whole liquified Squonk.
The weird thing #26 failed to mention is that the Squonk comes back. Well, once you set the puddle of tears on fire anyway, it seems to reform the Squonk. The salmon-colored smoke sort of coagulates and then solidifies. And I think the whole death, fire, smoke, rebirth thing seems to have calmed the little warty weirdo down as it hasn't tried to cry itself to death again around us. Which now leaves us with an extra Squonk. I guess we could just kick it and have it burst (literally) into tears. Though… that's not really what we do, is it?
But if we're gonna send the creature back to the Esterskald, isn't it just going to end up kicked again? I guess we could take it with us, and if we release it into the Esterskald from a different portal, that would put it somewhere less likely to get kicked, right? I don't know. I guess we'll smuggle it onto our flight, and—assuming it survives the horrors of turbulence—we can decide what to do with it back at the Cafe. It could be nice to have magic-curing snot on tap, right?
