They knew who they wanted to lynch, but they couldn't find her anywhere. ”
Naria, where are you?” they called, but there was no answer. She had disappeared. ”She must have fled us when she realised we'd kill her”,
Nerwen said. The miners looked everywhere, but they just couldn't find
Naria. ”Well, it seems we don't need to kill her at all in order to get rid of her”,
Shasta commented dryly.
Right at that moment they heard singing from the mines' bathroom. First it was only indecipherable humming, but they could hear
Naria sang in a loud, rocking voice:
“Why can't you see
What youre doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We cant go on together
With suspicious minds
And we cant build our dreams
On suspicious minds
So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again
Asking where Ive been
You cant see these tears are real
I'm crying”
The end of the song was swallowed by sobs, coughs and other, unidentifiable noises. “What is happening? What is she doing?”
Mithalwen asked.
Mith,
Nerwen and
Shasta walked closer to the bathroom. Now they could hear a small, sad voice singing:
”When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah...”
”
Naria?”
Shasta asked carefully.
”You were wrong, it seems we do have to kill her”,
Nerwen said gloomily.
”Should we break the door?”
Mithalwen asked in a low voice.
”Naria, will you come out?”
Shasta asked.
”We won't hurt you”,
Nerwen said, her fingers crossed.
There was no answer.
”Or maybe we could just leave her there and let her starve?”
Mith asked desperately.
”I think your first suggestion was better”, said
Shasta and kicked the door.
Nerwen and
Mith followed his example. For an hour or so, they were kicking the bathroom door, trying to break it. When it finally gave way, they found an unmoving elf on the floor.
”
Naria? Is it you?”
Nerwen asked.
”She's dead”,
Mith said in a hollow voice, ”and I don't think she looks like a dead balrog.”
At that moment, they heard an unbearably loud noise and the roof of the bathroom collapsed. They were blinded by the dust and a bright, unnaturally green light. A big metal hand reached from the roof and picked
Naria up. Various beeps and cracks followed.
”Noooooooo! You can't take me!”
Naria screamed, definitely alive. The more she screamed, the redder she got, until she was glowing like a firebrand and a great shadow shaped like wings was around her. But she did not get away, however hard she tried. The metal hand took her and put her inside a cabin with white walls. Then a door closed and
Shasta,
Nerwen and
Mith could see
Naria no more. From the hole on the roof they could see a big, shining saucer-like shape disappearing to the blue sky.

Congratulations villagers!
I will write a final narration that tells the final fates of those who survived. I hopefully manage to do it tomorrow, but other than that, the game has ended.
Thanks to everyone for playing, it was a hilarious game!
