Recrank the launcher, hoping that it somehow re-contains the hooks.

Nngh... no...
If possible, once the reloading process is complete, move slightly upstream and near the molasses river's edge.
Inky... darkness, all... consuming...
((In case you're wondering, Derya is plagued by eldritch visions. I'm rolling a d20 every turn to determine her actions- consistent low rolls mean she'll flip out, consistent high rolls mean she'll be more likely to accept peace, and average rolls mean she'll attack if she feels like it but otherwise leave everyone alone.))
You turn the crank around several times, dragging the hooks back inside of the launcher and making a hollow sounding click once all of them have been withdrawn. You then mutter to yourself while heading upstream, stopping by a spot on the edge of the molasses river.

Evil Lucky looks up and down his... Loot? While holding chin like he's thinking. Finally he says, "My name's Lucky and I'm calling you Lia. I'm here because I signed up to get loot and murder everyone else like me. You know, if you got exiled to a supposedly unpopulated place for crimes, something tells me we'll be fast friends! Well unless you try killing me that is. Anyways the thing that was supposed to give me loot became you so... I guess you're my loot. Well first how about showing me what you can do? That guy that's walked up to us... I think he was trying to kill us. How about we try the same? Oh and try and make it really painful hahaha. It's fun to watch people in pain."
Have Lia painfully murder the guy making funny faces at us. His face pissed me off... and the fact he tried to do something to us.
Oh man, all these stuff and things.

While Lucky introduces himself, Pariah takes the opportunity to run over to Davroz and place a hand on his candy cane, trying to will a wave of molasses to crush lucky. The molasses doesn't move in the slightest, but a sphere of light flies from the staff and strikes Lucky, turning him into an enormous living gingerbread man, complete with frosting for features. Cornelia laughs at this sudden transformation, before grimacing as flames begin to crawl across her skin, spelling out the words 'no laughing' on her arm like a cruel brand. However, Cornelia manages to focus these flames into a concentrated sphere of fire ten feet across, which she lobs at Pariah and Davros like a mortar shell. Pariah manages to dodge away from the blast in time, but Davros isn't so lucky. The fireball lands right on top of him, charring him to a skeleton and melting his candy cane into little more than a pile of bluish black sugar. As all this is going on, Derm looks on from across the arena and grins, manipulating the crimson auras that he sees around Lucky and Pariah and forcing them to mingle. The results are immediate: Pariah tears off his robe, showing off what little muscle he has, and Lucky tears the sleeves off of his newly transformed fruit leather jacket, popping them into his oversized gingerbread mouth and swallowing before yelling incoherently at Pariah, who responds only slightly more coherently in an overblown cockney accent.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!""WHAT'RE YOU GIGGLIN' AT, MATE? I'LL BUST YOUR FOOKIN GINGER HAMPSTEADS IN, I SWEAR ON ME MUM!"(Lucky Luck: 1+5)
Almost as if the god of unfitting loot himself is manipulating fate, Davroz's death causes an enormous frozen shark the size of a greatsword to materialize in Gingerbread Lucky's hands. While too frozen to move, the beast is clearly alive, and clearly none too happy about being swung around by a homicidal cookie.
Ho HA WHAT'S THAT BITCH
I'M TOO DEXTROUS FOR YOU PANSIES
Perform badass maneuvers out of way of molasses wave, attempt to laser the guy who did it to me.
Well, no molasses wave comes, due to the man who would have tried to launch it dying a fiery death.
Grab the flower and see if there's anything to murder.
You pick up the flower and look around for potential targets. Three come immediately to mind. There's the large angry cookie wielding a shark over to the north, some fiery girl in a fancy dress standing near him, and finally a furious naked man to the south. Decisions, decisions...
I totally didn't accidentally put my action here. That would be silly.
You also totally didn't forget to PM it to me. Now that would just be plain absurd.
