Amidala has been venturing in the Overgrown Caverns for quite a while now. Circling around, she could swear, that she saw this rock at least 3 times already. And every time she passed it, she glanced over the small opening next to it. It was overgrown with thick vines and seemed like she was too big to squeeze in there. But at this point it looked like she didn’t really have a better option. After approaching the opening, she squeezed her head in, turning out the small crevice changes into a big enough patch to continue. The vines covering the tunnel were concerning but she had no choice. 

The Courser cleaned the vines as best as she could, making the opening big enough to squeeze in. It was embarrassing, for once she was glad that she ventured down here alone, at least no one will see her. Continuing down the tunnel she started to doubt her decision. The vines were growing thicker and meatier with every step she took. But she won’t turn back now. 

Eventually Ami came upon their source:  a gigantic pitcher plant, large enough to dissolve even a Courser. Its colors were quite beautiful. But she wouldn’t dare to come closer to examine it. She wouldn’t want to end like the poor bastards before her - eaten and half dissolved by plants gastric acid. 

She analyzed the situation, this spot was safe, high enough that the plant couldn’t reach her without the effort. The only path that continues from this chamber was right behind the plant. She couldn’t get down before taking it out.. Or at least distracting it for long enough. 

Glancing to her right Ami noticed a big part of the cave’s wall cracked and half loose. In between the loose part and the wall there were many rocks, broken weapons and tools wedged it. And a Courser’s skeleton. Someone tried to push it down on the plant. But evidently failed. After trying to move it herself she came to the conclusion that it was too heavy for a Courser, she needed something bigger and stronger…

She put her plan into action: catched plants' attention by yelling and throwing smaller rocks at it. It seemed pissed. Good. When the pitcher plant raised one of its huge vines to hit her, Ami did a fast dodge resulting in a vine hitting the loose wall. 

The gigantic pitcher plant died in silence. Crushed by the boulder. The path was safe. Not only for her but also for the next adventurers. Too many Coursers already died here.
