Fri The Talons of Weng-Chiang pts 3+4 of 6

Sat The Hand Of Fear all 4 pts
Note: when trying to sentence a criminal to death, you really should keep track of the body. I know scattering someone's silicon remains to all corners of the universe sounds neat and cool, but if you don't keep track of the body, you can't be sure that he's really dead.

If all assassins were as good shots as this guy, there would be fewer recurring characters.
