End of Day the Ninth
The defense of the Man-in-the-Moon waned on the ninth day, allowing a sneak attack by his staunchest detractors:
Man-in-the-Moon: 3 votes
The Barrow-wight: 2 votes
Teddy: 2 votes
The Mewlips: 1 vote
And so, the Man-in-the-Moon came down too soon, got spectacularly drunk, and staggered off into the deep jungle, never to be heard from again.
