Please don't try non-rare versions of Mawrat substitutes with <1226HP, cause Mar'cuus will have the Beast-passive active when our Haunt pet is forced into battle and we don't want to see it die to Pounce before applying the DoT.

Did it enough times that I memorized it; but I persevered just knowing that there must be a way to make it work. First of all, it would be helpful to know that after Turn 15, Frostfur Rat dies and you should bring in Grassland Hopper in order to cast Screech, followed by Swarm, followed by the Grassland Hopper dying. The rest worked thus (and I tried different combos):

Only remaining pet is Blind Rat
Turn 18: Lullaby
Turns 19–21: Stampede
Turn 22: Flurry

Used PS/HP/SB. Failed using steps/wist's TD script. Then I used wist's TD script until Blind Rat was the only pet left; then, as per Serendipitus' suggestion, cast Lullaby=>Stampede->Flurry. Worked perfectly. This was so weird and interesting!
