===Introduction===
You approach the portal, weapons at the ready. It's as you draw close to the pink and purple blob of energy that you hear the noise.
"Is someone sawing wood?" Tessa asks.
You shrug your shoulders, as surprised and confused as she is. That's what it sounds like -- as though dozens of industrious woodsmen are sawing away at the trunks of felled trees.
"No," Brachus says. "That's the sound of demons snoring."
Silence greets that pronouncement. But as you round the portal you see that he spoke the truth. Demons of various shapes and sizes are lying on the grass, some curled up, others stretched full length. All of them are sleeping.
"I didn't know demons even slept," you say, after a few seconds of perturbed quietness.
"We should slay them before they wake," Tessa says.
You're about to give the order, when you notice for the first time how tired you are. All this walking and fighting have left you exhausted. And was your sword always this heavy?
"Killing's a lot of work," one of your warriors mutters. "Maybe a little rest first?'
That strikes you as a wonderful idea. You're about to suggest a tactical nap, when it occurs to you just how insane that would be. You start shaking the cobwebs from yoru head, trying to force yoruself to snap out of this unnatural lethargy.
At the same moment, Brachus stoops down, picks up a rock, and throws it at one of the recumbent fiends.
A blue-skinned demon sits up, clutches his head, and yells out words in his own language. From his tone, you assume that they're infernal profanities -- and for a brief second you wonder what kinds of curse words a demon might use. But you have little time to ponder such things. All the fiends are scrambling to their feet, wakefullness having arrived in an instant.
===Conclusion===
"Sloth demon," Brachus says, indicating the blue demon's corpse.
"Good life that," Hugh muses. "Getting to bloody well sleep all day. Do gluttony demons and sloth demons ever have children? Those would be the luckiest bastards of them all..."
Gluttony demons tend to eat their children," Brachus replies.
