Day 5
As the tension rose, the guy who be short started to breathe heavily and his face turned red. "There is no way you are getting me to the wall!"
"But we are," said Gil-Galad, drawing his sword. "Surrender, beast, or we are going to stone you like a dog."
"No one can withstand the power of the King of North," said the guy who be short. "No one of you is getting out of this place alive. You think you have won? Think again! I will feast on your meat tonight!"
"Get him!" Gil-Galad yelled, as the short guy's body started to change.
Andróg and Beleg prepared to fight. The guy who be short was not short anymore: he morphed into a gigantic black wolf with burning red eyes. He howled and the sound was like thunder. With tremendous roar, he charged at the outlaws.
Gil-Galad charged to stab the wolf but was disarmed: the sword flew away from his hand and broke. Beleg's sword left but a scratch on the beast's skin. But suddenly, Andróg reached for Belthronding, the great bow he hid behind his back.
"It is you who should fear us, wolf. I may have needed the staff to walk in my guise, but I'm no old woman. I may have been wrong about Gil so now I take it upon myself to avenge my friend Túrin and his dear sister." With these words Andróg shot an arrow that flew into the wolf's shoulder.
The guy who be short roared in pain but struggled to send a claw flying at the archer. The attack would have been fatal, if Beleg hadn't recovered in time and tossed himself at the beast. They both fell on the ground and the wolf was soon upon Beleg slashing at the valiant man's arms. Beleg grabbed at the arrow still sticking from the wolf's arm and pulled it out tearing the wound. He then pushed the arrow deep into the monster's chest.
Meanwhile Andróg let out another arrow. It run straight into the wolf's neck so deep that only the feathers were seen. Beleg crawled from under the dying wolf covered in blood himself. As if it wasn't enough, Gil-Galad took the broken hilt of his sword and drove it like a dagger into tgwbs's heart. With one loud bark, the wolf died.
The outlaws win!
Andróg wins!
The werewolves lose!
