Pleht's pretty good at running. Jumping from errand to errand will do that for you.

The Pink Slugfolk nudges the Red Slugfolk.
Pink Slugfolk: Wait, look...
The Pink Slugfolk points to Pleht, who swallows nervously (with "GULP" SFX).
Pink Slugfolk: Take care of the wizard and that head! I'll get that bucket off!
Pleht: Hold on, adventurer...
Brudil: HRM? MRRPG GRRMGH HRN?!
Pleht makes a mad dash. He dodges the Red Slugfolk's tackle on his way and makes it over to Brudil's body, where the Pink Slugfolk is trying to remove the bucket.
