Artagor looked from Mixun to the mob of gnomes arrayed around them. The little folk were quieter than they ever had been, standing and watching the humans with clear, unblinking eyes—a thousand pairs. Artagor tugged at his beard.

"Of course not," said Raegel, standing at last. "Take what you will, excellent Artagor."

The pirates ransacked Nevermind South with brisk, professional thoroughness. The results were disappointing. A small heap of metal trinkets, mostly steel, grew in front of the impatient chief. As time passed and the pile did not progress, he began to roar again.

"What's this?" he bellowed, gesturing to the modest haul of swag. "All you tinkers, and this is all the metal you've got? And you, from Sanction—if you're the paymaster, where's your pay chest?"

"The gnomes are working on account," Raegel said smoothly. "They're to be paid off when we reach our destination."

"Which is where?"

Mixun opened his mouth, so Raegel let him answer. "Sancrist Isle, of course."

A pirate wearing a mate's cap ran up. "That's all, captain. There's no more to find."

Artagor shoved the young buccaneer away roughly.
