Ziirphael glanced around scanning the dark looming trees that encircled the ruined playground on which they stood. On this playground the smell of fear was palpable. It was intoxicating. Ziir suspected that the creature made it's prey aware of it's presence, and toyed with them as they panicked and tried to flee. He caught the glares of the lich, who was watching intently as he strolled merrily up and down the playground.
"So?" asked the lich impatiently. "Where is this awful predator?"
"Don't know." Ziir responded. "But it definately knows that we're here. It's just a matter of waiting for it to show up."
"Isn't that plan somewhat unwise?" Konka asked. "I don't think that just waiting is an efficient use of our time." Ziir looked at him thoughtfully.
"Good point." he conceded. "Plus there's no guarantee that it will even come after us. It could attack one of our competitors." He looked thoughtful, as he gazed at a broken children's climbing frame. "I have a better idea." He said with a grin and rushed over to the twisted structure. The lich gazed quizzically at him, as he set about hacking at the climbing frame.
"I would like to hear this better idea, for the purpose of discovering what precisely it is better than..." he said skeptically. Ziirphael gripped the frame with his two upper limbs and hauled it out of the ground, holding it easily above his head.
"Simple." he said. "We attract the creature's attention." And with that he flung the frame into the air, and it continued skywards until it hit the bars of the fence that arched overhead with a resounding thud that echoed throughout the entire park.
"Not exactly subtle..." Konka commented, as Ziirphael cheerfully sidestepped the plummeting remains of the climbing frame.
