Blindknagg, Hecatom, Negrodamus. One of you avenge me if I fall. I beg of you. I know our ragtag group doesn’t have a name but how about the Brotherhood? *
**RadicalFuzz **and The Chief climbed up to the top of the ship, lying down and taking deep breaths. They both sat up, and stared at eachother. **RadicalFuzz **heard footsteps behind him, and caught a glimpse of Missing Person, before he was off, disappearing again. He rushed over to see where he went, but as he rounded the corner, he saw Missing Person was gone.
“I think Missing Person is on here with us too, Chief” said RadicalFuzz, turning back to where he was lying on the deck… only he was gone now too. “Chief?” **RadicalFuzz **tried looking around, but The Chief had disappeared too and was nowhere to be seen. **RadicalFuzz **shrugged, and ducked off to find a hiding spot himself – no way was he going to be the only vunerable one.
**ForgeDigger **stood at the end of the ship, looking off over the sea. She spotted ship #2, and saw everybody hiding. She smiled as she saw Missing Person, hanging on the outside of the ship just below deck. “They’ll never find him there” she said, laughing to herself. **DarkGeneral **strode up beside her.
“What do we do now?” he said. “The three of us can kill each other, sure, but maybe we can work together instead. AlphcaCommando over there has his Cross Bow… maybe he can use it on one of those guys over there?” he pointed across the sea to ship #1, where a bunch of guys were fighting on the deck.
AlphaCommando strode forward, surveying the scene. **ForgeDigger **looked at the other two, clearly uneasy at the situation. “What do you think, Alpha?” asked ForgeDigger.
“Let’s watch for a moment, and see how it plays out” said AlphaCommando, focusing on the argument.
Back on ship #1, an argument had broken out. The four men stood on its deck, bickering.
“I don’t trust him!” said Blindknagg, anchor hoisted over his shoulder, pointing at Aidebit. “That look in his eye… he’s going to try to kill us!”
**Hecatom **saw the twinkle in Aidebits eye, one he had seen in himself before as well… but he needed a weapon, all he could do now was survive. “I agree” nodded Hecatom. “He means to do us harm. But he only has that piddling Dagger… what can he do to us?” **Hecatom **brandished his shield. “I’ll cover you. You split him in two with that Anchor.”
**Blindknagg **nodded in agreement. **Pietastic **stood by the side, silent, afraid to get involved.
**Aidebit **stood, unconcerned, picking his teeth with the dagger. His hand clutched the scroll full of the scouting information.
“Not a good idea,” said Aidebit. “I know what secrets you hide…” he turned and stared at **Blindknagg **and **Hecatom **seriosly. “But do you know mine?”
**Blindknagg **laughed. **Hecatom **looked a little unsure. “Don’t worry” said Blindknagg, “He’s bluffing.”
**Blindknagg **raised the anchor over his head, and rushed towards **Aidebit **to crush him. **Aidebit **continued to look on, amused. Hecatom, reacting to the charge, dashed forward to block any blow **Aidebit **might throw…
Aidebit, with a graceful motion, sidestepped around Hecatom, gripping the dagger in a reverse hold, and drove it home into **Blindknaggs **chest before the anchor blow could land. He twisted the dagger, making sure the wound wouldn’t heal, and yanked it free. He turned around in one smooth motion, and set his gaze on Hecatom.
**Blindknagg **dropped dead where he stood, the Anchor clattering to the ships deck. Suddenly, **Hecatom **wasn’t feeling too good about being on this ship.
“What do you think, pie?” laughed Aidebit, who turned and saw that **pietastic **was no longer visible, instead hiding somewhere on the ship. That caused him to laugh even more.
**Hecatom **grinned to himself. “A worthy opponent, indeed” he said out loud.
Just then, a crossbow bolt flew onto their ship, landing in the recently deceased Blindknagg, piercing his corpse. Confused, **Aidebit **and **Hecatom **turned and looked over at ship #3, where **AlphaCommando **was standing.
“What the hell was that?” asked DarkGeneral.
“Couldn’t you at least have killed the other guy with the dagger or something?” said ForgeDigger.
“I just wanted to make sure he was dead” said AlphaCommando, keeping his calm. Really, he had just missed his shot – but he wasn’t about to let the others know that!
A loud bang went up over the arena, and the information on the recently deceased showed in the sky.
The ships continued to sail the high seas, keeping people segregated. **Hecatom **and **Aidebit **looked at eachother, and then down towards the Anchor sitting on deck between them. Each one wondered what the others next move would be.

Unless he wants to make a truce with me after trying to defend Blindknagg while he tried to kill him, i don’t know, it will depend if he holds any grudge.
3 would be my guess. Judging by how the writeup sounded and the fact that Augustus gift wrapped the dagger for Aidebit, I’m gonna guess 3.
Also another thing that happened is that Blindknaggs anchor break properties didn’t effect Aidebit at all. Even though break happens if you attack but don’t kill the target.*
