As each of the villagers woke up in the morning, they thanked – well, they weren’t sure who to thank, but they were thankful to still be alive. They met outside once more and made a painfully short headcount – only five left, and Encaitare was now missing.

Encai, being a wandering gypsy, had no real home of her own and had made her abode out in the woods. The villagers weren’t precisely sure where she had camped the previous night, but, looking out in the general direction, they realized that some smoke still rose above the trees. The villagers hastened in that direction, wondering what they might find that could still be smoking.

It did not take long before they found what was left of her camp. Before the arrival of the werewolf, it had been a comparatively cheery place: a small, brightly colored wagon and the horse that drew it. Now, all that was left was a heap of mostly ashes. Encai’s draft horse had been killed and her wagon destroyed; both had been heaped together. Encai (gagged first, so as not to cause so much of a ruckus), had been tied to a stake and stuck on top. Then the whole mound had burned; it still smoked. Little that was left could be recognized: a few metal oddments (jewelry and such), some bones.

The villagers tried to recall who had suggested burning Morm at the stake the previous Day and could not. Meanwhile, one of the villagers had wandered off a bit and found a message scratched in the dirt. The others noticed and went over to see what had caught the villager’s notice. The message read: Good luck to you, my fellow Shirriff and other villagers. If anything else had been written, it had been smudged away.

Sorrowfully, the villagers began their trek back to the village.
