This one is for my friend Eleanor, she gave me the idea for this chapter

"He's back there- here, move to the side, let me aim the bow-" Impulse whispered to Grian. "Wait wait- I have a splash potion- that might hurt too much- I also have a Pesky Bird head."

Impulse and Grian were perched on the top of one of Scar's villaging huts, watching him work. They had been playing Truth or Dare with Bdubs and False, and Bdubs had dared them to go prank Scar.

Little did Bdubs know, Impulse and Grian weren't the best at pranks. Sure, they'd leave the occasional block or sign in someone's base, but they weren't good at pranks.

Grian launched a splash potion of leaping over the edge, landing on Scar. The pair laughed as Scar started bouncing around, a confused look on his face.

They went around like that, playing harmless pranks and watching Scar fly around, trying to find the pranksters. They quickly downed invis potions, unable to hide fast enough.

Finally, about 2 hours later, Scar gave up and ignored their tricks. Impulse and Grian decided to do one last prank.

"Let's shoot him! Just once- then we'll run away!" Impulse giggled, and Grian agreed. (They are not good at pranks, I know)

Impulse pulled his bow string back, an arrow loaded. "Just gonna bang him in the head- nothing too serious-" Grian laughed nervously. He never hit people on purpose, but this was just a silly prank, right?

There was a quiet pop and the arrow was soaring through the sky. Scar was crouched over, breaking a block of wood. The arrow shot right over and right through his head.

There was a faint "owwwww" and a message flashed across their communicators.

<GoodTimesWithScar was shot by impulseSV>

Impulse gasped as Scar's inventory exploded all over the courtyard. "Oh- oh no!" Grian yelled as he shot down to collect Scar's stuff.

Death on the Hermitcraft server happened often, but it was never enjoyable. Depending on how you die, the pain ranged from a scale of a stubbed toe to screaming in pain. To put it bluntly.

Getting shot through the head wasn't fun, but it wasn't as bad as dying in the void or being burned alive. Scar would probably be nursing a headache for a couple days, but he'd be alright. If he wasn't looking for revenge.

"Hurry! Place a chest, put the stuff in it! We need to get out of here before Scar gets back-" Impulse stammered nervously. Scar was one of the nicest hermits, but when he got angry, he got scary.

<BdoubleO100> Uhm, guys? Does this have anything to do with what we were playing earlier?

Impulse hurriedly typed a reply as Grian shoved all the stuff into a chest.

<impulseSV> Uhhhhh maybe?

"I'm done! Go, go, go!" Grian and Impulse flew off in the direction of Bdubs's  base, ready to face him. Once they arrived, they were not ready for what they found.

Scar was waiting for them in Bdubs's house, sword in hand, a devilish smile on his face.

"Are you ready to play a game?"

Grian shook his head furiously, as if that would do anything. Impulse grinned nervously, trying to win Scar over with his dashing smile. It didn't work.

"Why did you shoot me? I was working! And besides, I know you guys were the ones messing with me."

They looked at each other nervously. "No! No- no- we were busy- doing something else-" they spat out to each other.

"Mhmmmmm," Scar hummed, walking closer to them, his enchanted netherite blade flashing.

"Are- are you ready?" He laughed.

<Grian was slain by GoodTimesWithScar>
<impulseSV was slain by GoodTimesWithScar>

"And that's why you don't play with a wizard."
