At last, William's blade strikes home. Another vine is detached from the body of the plant, leaving a mere quartet.

Cackling as he grabs the flask, Lepus tries to scramble back out of the shed.

William continues to guard Lepus, striking at the next vine to come near him.
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
"Thank you kindly," says Henry. "Come on, let's get her outside now that Lepus has the flask." He and Ivan withdraw from the shed, the latter carrying Miss Ravenscroft.

Miss Ravenscroft, her senses awakened by the shock of this incident, arises and rushes out of the shed.
"Pour the devitalization fluid into the creature's mouth!"
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
Lepus quickly complies with Ravenscroft’s request and pours the fluid as directed.
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
Henry applies his Regenerator to Ivan's wound to heal him and returns the favor by sucking out the poison from him.

William helps carry the Russian out of the shed. Once that's accomplished - and seeing that Lepus seems to have the situation with the Creature in hand - he reenters the shed to make another attempt to obtain the firework.

As if the liquid were undiluted vitriol and the roiling flesh of the creature base metal, there is much bubbling and hissing as what signs of life remain within the loathsome corpus are extinguished at last, leaving only a noxious and evil-smelling puddle of putrescence.jp1885 wrote:

"Now that this unpleasant task is at an end," Miss Ravenscroft remarks, "there remains the question of locating the female. I trust you have some strategy in mind?"

His grisly work done, Lepus rushes to the stricken soldier.
Setting the firework aside for someone else to deal with, he places his medallion around William’s neck, hoping that it will negate the poison.
Should this fail, he will follow the others’ lead and try to suck the poison out.
Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
"I heard her voice earlier, so I know she hasn't gone far," says Henry, taking the firework and firing it at the plant. "Our soldier friend is a good tracker when he's on horseback, so we should be able to find her without too much trouble. When we do, I'm sure she will come with me willingly. She called me her father, which in a sense I am."

Re: Book the Second, Chapter the Eighth: A Brace of Conundr
The medallion prevents any further effects of the toxic substance, it appears, although it has, of course, no effect on the sheer physical damage caused by the curious plant.
The firework being directed at the said plant, the night is riven by a tremendous burst of light, accompanied by a loud explosion, leaving one's ears ringing. After the thick black smoke thus produced drifts away in the breeze, it can be seen that nothing remains of the shed save randomly scattered bits of wood, metal, and glass. The sight renders Miss Ravenscroft in a state of melancholia, and she retreats to her former room within the manor house silently.
