Noh chooses to trust Frederick as the crazy old axeman spins around three times to make himself dizzy, then swings the axe not at Noh's fingers but at the side of his head! "HONK!!!"
"Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!" goes the raven, soaring to the rafters in a puff of black feathers.
"Shhhh! Keep it down, you rascals," Ursa curses from her chair by the fire.
Noh reflexively brings his hand up to his temple, to stuff his brains back into his shattered skull and stop the bleeding. But to his astonishment, there's no blood at all! It stings a little, like he's been slapped, but there's no damage.
"HONK!!! Ha ha ha, gotcha. You said the 11th finger, BAM! Right in the old noggin. Get it? The 11th finger? You're lucky I don't have a dirty mind." Frederick takes off the blindfold, winks, juggles the axe in the air, and then hands it over to Noh for inspection. It is lightweight, perfectly balanced, and completely dull, a harmless juggling prop. "You don't think I would really leave a priceless magic axe hanging on the wall of a family pancake restaurant, do you? The real Chopper is someplace much safer. I'm sorry about the prank; no hard feelings? Now that I am retired from Adventuring I get my fun from collecting Adventurers. Ursa, are you feeling better old gal? Here, bring her a mug of this comfrey tea. It aids healing."
