Votes were counted - recounted - and recounted again.
"This can't be right," said Kathin. "You really don't want to do this."
"Yes we do," they said pointing at the votes for evidence.
"I'm telling you...you will not like this," she said as she grew visibly agitated.
"Ooh, here it comes!" they said happily; axes, small swords, hairy fists and magical staffs at the ready.
"Don't make me angry," she threatened again. "You cannot get out of this."
As several dwarf bows were readied and drawn (you don't want to get too close to an angry dwarf, do you?), she launched herself into the crowd axe brandished and bellowing as only a dwarf can. Bows twanged, arrows struck, and Kathin fell dead, but not before burying her axe in Bofgrod's throat.
"Gurgleblarglegllrrrggg!" he said, as blood soaked his beard. "Grbllllaaaagaaaaalll!" and he too fell dead across the body of Kathin.
Neither body morphed, or changed in any way at all.
"Ai, ai!" they wailed.
