??! [Whoa, whoa, give him a little more warning, how about it, Rose?! Asbel's eyes fly open, and he half-quick steps, half-lunges to avoid becoming a hero pancake. The spot where he'd been standing just seconds before has melted in a bit, the packed dirt replaced by a patch of mud. The pumpkin rolls across it with a splat(!), sending spatters in all directions, and then keeps right on bounce-rolling-bounce-rolling across the ground towards freedom.]
Damn! [That was his chance! Asbel hisses under his breath and takes off after it again, looking not unlike some of the cows he once provoked in his childhood. He chains a few artes together in an attempt to gain on it, but it sure isn't showing any sign of stopping. He needs to get closer, but using a finishing move on it now -- who knows where the force might send it flying to next?!]
Rose, can you make another one of those glyphs?! I'll try to slow it down!
[Without waiting for an answer, Asbel leaps into the air, attacking the pumpkin from above. Maybe it'll slow it down a little? Or maybe Asbel is skidding right back off, taking just a single knobby pumpkin leg with him. Lot of good that'll do -- it still has three left and it's still rolling!]
