It was a rather slow day in the village, voting-wise. It seemed some people had secretly celebrated the lynching of JennyHallu and many a hung-over face could be seen. Some accusations were tossed about, some accusations were responded to. For most of the day, Kitanna was the lead candidate for lynching, accumulating 5 votes as the day went on. There were still about six more people to vote and the time of the lynching was drawing closer, when something extremely unlikely happened.

Grendelien, Naria and Nogrod decided to vote at the exact same time. Their votes were swiftly recorded on the vot-a-tron and thus this sudden cheap-shot of destiny sealed Kitanna’s fate.

They grabbed her and tied her to a long pole. Yet they could not decide what to do with her, so they left the pole leaning against Farael’s lab wall and huddled up to decide what to do.

Nogrod: “I say we burn her. These wereorcs deserve nothing better”

Naria: “No, we’d spend too much firewood, and for some reason it’s still freezing cold even though we are supposed to be in mid-winter right now. How about we throw here on the river and let her drown?’

SleepyBarrel: “No, she’d float… she’s tied to a pole”

Grendelien: “Sleepy! You promised not to kill anyone else after Day 1”

Sleepy: “Its not me.. what IS that noise?”

Naria: “Erm, Roa where did you get that pole from?”

Roa_aoife: “Oh, yes I forgot to tell you. I found it in your flower shop”

Naria: “Did that pole happened to have a hole close to the top?”

Celuien: “Why, yes! It was the perfect size to fit Kitanna’s head on”

Naria: “Did anyone look inside the hole to see what was in?”

The question was answered by many embarrassed looks.

Naria: “I will share a secret with you…’

Findëasëa: “She is a wereorc!! Lynch her!!”

Naria: “See why I hardly ever talk? It’s impossible with you guys. No, I’m not a wereorc. What I was going to say is that I.. .well, I have a pet woodpecker. That log of yours is it’s home”

The villagers went pale as they heard the knocking sound again

Azaelia went to her house and quickly brought a blanket. They covered Kitanna’s body without looking and then lifted the covers enough to see one of her hands. It had long, white fingers with well polished nails, Kitanna was clearly not a wereorc.

The village fell silent, they had lynched their first innocent even if by accident. Disgusted, they all went home, without noticing they had forgotten something. Or rather Someone.

Legolas in Spandex was still standing next to Kitanna’s blanketed body, and she decided to lift the blanket and take a peek. With a scream, she ran away into the forest, never to be seen again.

There are still 2 wereorcs, a Ranger and a Shaman living.

Now living:
Caranlondien: aspiring harpist
JennyHallu: Doomsday prophet
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Findëasëa: paleoelfropologist
Celuien:lampwright
Zali: stringer-of-bows
Diamond: Inept Jewel Smith
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers
Sleepy A barrel of apples
Roa_Aoife aspiring ballad writer

Now dead:
FaraelMod: He dyed… erm I mean died.
GlirdanRepentant werewolf : Choked on an apple. No wonder why werewolves are carnivores.
JennyHalluWereorc: Escaped the village, but could not escape the laws of physics.
Dancing Spawn...: Just a merchant: Trapped on a deathly spider’s web.
Kitanna:The town's gate-keeper: Had a lobotomy performed by an angry woodpecker.
Legolas in spandex: Legolass (A movie-Legolas impersonator): Overwhelmed and or frightened into leaving the village after seeing what had happened to Kitanna
