You calmly tell the lizardman to stop, but he doesn't. He tackles you and knocks you to the ground. You drop the hose and it starts soaking into a nearby patch of dirt, which coincidentally is also where you landed.

The lizardman is approaching, probably for another strike. It's time for Plan B.

Lie down in the mud

Plan B, as it turns out, is lying down in the mud. It's pretty sticky. Fortunately, it's also sticky enough that the lizardman gets two of his legs stuck in it as he draws near, and flails about desperately with his arms and third leg trying to get out. This only results in him falling flat on his face into the mud.

Suddenly, you start to feel yourself sinking. Oh great, this must be quickmud! You and the lizardman sink in deeper.

You are now an underground-dwelling creature. Two surface-dwellers have just fallen through your mud-ceiling. One of them has four arms and three legs and is passing gas, the other is wearing a mask, a coat, and a bright red hat and has an axe.

Clearly this can only mean the surface-dwellers are invading your subterranean realm. What will you do about this?
