The gnomes first

How could anyone resist such tasty morsels falling practically into their lap? Slowly slinking down from the branches, I noticed they were busy chatting and munching on some bread while messing with a lot of rope and crossbows. Getting behind one while the other was distracted was child’s play.

Extending my jaws, I tensed and then surged, chomping down on one while spearing the other with my stinger. It was over in a flash and with nary more than the noise of a soft crunch. Glancing about, I noticed that none of the others had seemed to notice my actions.
