Micheal sleeps through it of course, he's killing himself wandering around in all that metal anyway. I snag 4 arrows and my two magic dragon daggers and it's blue bandanas for me and brother chester. I grab his shoulders tight though, before we go, stare in his eyes and do my little magic - "Kegtapper, Dad, Redgar" Then it's darting in the darkness. Artemis leaves a camp like you'd expect - wagon next to a fire, like a signal to say - I'm bigger and meaner than everything, well he's bigger. I leave the gnome to Chester, signal him over, I'm in the tree, and a little worried about magic alarms and sorcerous fracases. This guys are cocky but not so cocky they won't post a guard while they're both sleeping.

Chester's got the Gnome cut almost in thirds by the time the magic does kick in, a whirl of air and noise, shrieking like mad and seemingly everywhere- That's my chance, Artemis is up quick, and back down just as quickly, arrow in his eye and throat, courtesy me, he's still moving though, I wait for Chester to put him down, he being the humane hunter (we're both the human hunters though.) But Chester's now tangling with the air given life, it doesn't like him any, but his magic armor seems to be helping him out, "Catch," and toss with apalling grace my magic dragon knife, one of the green ones Micheal made me, after that I take it's twin out and slash open Artemis' hand, he's holding his throat together pretty good, but I'm afraid he'll call down his gods, so I take time out of revenge and cut out his tounge, through his open throat. I'm wondering what to do next, when my knife blooms at his temple. "There's no need for torture, what does he know anyway?"

"I dunno, maybe he knows where our dad is, or who we'll have to kill when we finally get to waterdeep?"

"Oh."
"Ah, don't worry about it, I'm proud of you."
