Stol smiles as the various novices cut loose with their weapons, observing the
shower of nails with even more surprise, then takes his second shot.  The
stool jumps out of the way, and the dagger plows into the wall behind it.  
He too turns to the druid, and hefts two more daggers, one in each hand.  The
dagger in his right hand sails toward the druid, its tip burying underneath
the druids glass.  As the druid starts backward Stol grins and fires his left 
dagger backward. It lands in the exact center of the crescent moon of nails 
and well within the center ring.

Stol walks over to the druid's table without looking at the target and draws 
his dagger from the woodwork with a smile, then continues into the main bar 
where he grabs a glass of ale and hurries back, at last, to recover his other 
two daggers.  He then sets his foot against the target and, pulling with all
his might, withdraws the crossbow bolt and nails, which he lays aside on the
table.


Stol, Master Thief and Thieves' Master
