Like the previous page, this page jumps between Pleht and Brudil's perspectives.
Pleht: Right... L-let's try that again...
He tucks the ladle into his sleeve.
Brudil lifts the axe, pulling it out of her washboard (with "snap!" SFX).
Brudil: I was just about to tell you...
Pleht has an aura of magic, looking up at the ladybug. From the ladybug's perspective, it looks like the ladle has become a floating metal ball.
Pleht: Ooooo... Look at the floating orb...
Meanwhile, Brudil has swung the axe overhead, bashing the Bandaged Slugfolk's head with the flat end (with "WHAM!" SFX).
Brudil: ...TO KNOCK IT OFF!
The ladybug happily stares at the floating orb, which the ladle truly has become, hovering between Pleht's fingers.
Pleht (thinking): Okay, Pleht, it's working. Just gotta do this right...
Ladybug: chlee!
Meanwhile, the other Slugfolk is running for aid from the ones lying in wait.
Brudil (thinking): Okay, Brudil, just like you practiced...
Slugfolk: GUYS! GUYS?!
Bandaged Slugfolk: Ugh...

Gosh, Pleht's lucky that giant ladybugs like shiny things.

I haven't researched whether real ladybugs act like magpies like that.

Oh, I think it's high time I thank Brooke Vavros, without whom Pleht and Brudil wouldn't be. You may have guessed that they were (rather loosely) based on RPG characters I had made, and Brooke was the fun and supportive GM who helped me bring them to life.
