"I don't recall property damage being part of the complaint. Is this new, or is this something else you guys have been dealing with, unrelated to the disappearances?"
Ask the farmer what he knows about property damages recently. Ask if the vandals/thieves have specifically targeted particular crops. Then take up a position on the forest side of the field and get ready to do the perspective trick of covering the creature with my glove and grabbing, to hold it in place.

The farmer says he's not sure how the damage occurs, but that it seems like they're specifically targeting his gourds. He says similar things have been happening to the other farmers near him.
(Grey is multi-talented I see)
Grey admires the shredded field of gourds.
”It really tore through here huh?”
He turns to the group.
“Alright, I believe I have captured the creature inside that field of corn, however I can’t let us through there without also releasing the creature, so we’ll want some kind of strategy. Does anyone have some magical tricks for catching it?”
Grey, seeing that everyone has surrounded the maintained corn and is prepared, pulls out his rifle and bayonet and takes up his own position around the perimeter.
As an afterthought he calls out: "We are Homunculi of the Investigation Corps! Agents of the Magi! Surrender peacefully or face the consequences!" and with that he drops his maintaining of the corn. Immediately afterwards he attempts to Maintain the creature's position once more, without affecting the corn. If the creature tries to escape by running past him, Grey cuts its legs/appendages with his bayonet.

“Ho! Ho! Ho! We'll hold it in place for you!”, Hugh proclaims as he takes a position on the perimeter of the Maintained area, and prepares to eat the creature’s ability to escape.
Hugh then waits for the Maintain spell to be lifted and then eats the creature’s ability to escape (note: the creature’s abstract ability to escape. Not it’s limbs!), if it tries to escape.

"I don't think I have any tricks, so I'll take a guard post, and try to find out more while we figure out what we are doing.
Aaron looks through his needle at the frozen part of the field, chooses a spot on the perimeter within sight of another homunculus, and attempts to know where the creature came from while he waits.

The creature will be coming....FROM BEHIND!
You spin away from the corn field and scan the forest and the area nearby, searching for the inevitable ambush.
"I could ask the corn to tangle up and grab or at least trip the guy."
Take a position on the perimeter to try and ask the corn to tangle itself around the guy in there, if that fails just try to stop the thing with violence if it gets out.

Grey
"Bite off its limbs so that it can't get away?"
Assume part of a perimeter around the Maintained zone, ready to wreak violence upon the thing within. Assuming we actually caught it.
Grey counts down releasing his magic as the rest of the Homunculi get into place. On zero he releases his initial Maintain and then a lot of things happen at once. Namely, several different magical effects are cast into that small section of cornfield within a few moments of each other, all of them targeting an as of yet unseen target. Grey attempts to maintain the creature, Hugh attempts to eat certain abstract concepts connected to it, Genesis tries to yoink it with telekinesis, and Debby tells the corn to tangle it up. Some spells succeed. Some fail and badly so. However, which does what is difficult to comprehend as a 5 meter wide circle of cornfield lifts into the air, twists into a knot, freezes in time, catches fire, and then vanishes in a burst of light and sound.
As everyone is standing around, uncertain of what to make of the magical clusterfuck that just happened in front of them, Aaron suddenly screams. He points towards the woods with his needle and jumps up and down.
"They're out there! I saw them! Along the tree line! Bulbous heads and rail thin bodies! They were watching us!"
