Blessed are the cheesemakers, for they shall be lynched

And so all at once it was decided. Mithalwen, who was always so generous with her excellent cheeses, would be the first to be lynched.

"I hope the rest of the Village realizes the sacrifices they're making," muttered Mith. "Sacrificing cheese for revenge..."

Saucie looked dismayed. "Aye, I did enjoy the ale and cheese tasting."

But die Mith must, the why had been told, how was now the big question.
After deliberation, they rigged up a gallows not far up the mountain out of an old tree that had somehow grown with a bend as if it had forseen the use o't.

"Well Mith, if you are innocent, no hard feelings, eh?"

Mith levelled her steelly glare at the speaker.

"You're all cheddar heads, you know? Out of all the Villagers you had to choose me."

"I think it was a "gouda" choice," muttered one. "Get it? Gouda...ah, never mind."

One moved closer to place the rope around Miths neck. With a snarl, Mith exploded!

The Villagers gasped in horror at the transformation! Eyes they had thought so kindly before went blood red and fairly glowed. Hands previously so genarous with cheese clawed the air as if to shred it to bits, and ears once thought shapely, well-rounded and shell-white went pointy and...hairy.

As one man, crying "You Meunster!" the Villagers forced the rope over Mith's neck, and pulled the stepstool from underneath her.

Mith tried to shout curses at her executors, but all that came out were strangled growls. Her struggles grew less, and with a not-at-all-called-for obscene gesture at the crowd, the body suddenly went limp and dead.

The Villagers immediately started an impromptu square dance, accompanied by Laitaine who played in a key that was not minor.

They had killed a Werewolf, and on the first DAY no less!

This is precidented! And unexpected!
