Trying to ascend the stairs under such circumstances didn't make sense, but there still had to be a reason behind the swamp folk's action.

They had the appetite; they just had to show it!
And there was only one way to prove the greed in their hearts, right here and right now…
Only one way to prove their appetite was boundless!
