Day 4 morning
The next night started with Shaz waking up rather suddenly (to the great surprise of everyone) and announcing all that sleep made him hungry and that he was going to hunt, and also to look for missing Bane. Meanwhile, the other trolls were discussing poor Brin and trying to remember who she frowned at the most during the previous nights. After some deliberation, many seemed to recall she did not seem to be particularly fond of Gil. Knowing that she was clever, the conclusion was simple for the simple trolls.
"You're a wizzer, Gil," Cop announced the general consensus.
"I'm a wha'?" asked Gil, confused.
"A wizzer," said Nerve, stepping closer menacingly.
"A wizzer?" Gil's voice sounded even more disbelieving. "Bu' I'm jus' Gil!"
"Well, 'jus' Gil'," Sal interjected, "you're a wizzer."
"I'm a wha'?"
"A wizzer, Gil," said Rick.
"Bu' I'm not!" Gil protested. "I'm jus' Gil!"
"Well, 'jus' Gil', you're a wizzer!!!" Cab screamed and put his fist in Gil's eye. Gil staggered, but did not fall.
"I won't take that from you lot," he shouted and launched himself back at Cab, taking them both down to the floor and sweeping the legs from under Lad in the process.
"Help!" Cab yelled, but the other trolls did not need to be called to take part in such a thing. Soon Lot was in, and Nog, and others followed.
Then there was a gorgeous row. Soon, all the thirteen trolls were rolling on the floor, punching, kicking, biting and headbutting each other, and in the fury of the brawl many got bruises also from others than just from Gil. Needless to say, it took the remaining Wizards a lot of effort to stay out of harm's way and remain hidden at the same time under such circumstances, but fortunately the rest of the trolls were so furious that they likely would not have noticed even if a Wizards' disguise had faltered for a moment.
But Gil was alone, after all, and eventually, after much beating from the others, he remained lying on the floor, completely dead.
"Um, but shouldn't he turn back into a small wizzer?" asked Green as everyone else got back to their feet.
The trolls looked at each other, scratching their heads.
"Unless," said Mors, "he wasn't a wizzer?"
Kat looked longingly at the load of firewood prepared in the corner of the cave already since yesterday.
"That means we won't be havin' a wizzer for supper tonight, either," she said mournfully.
They had all completely forgotten about Shaz, who was still somewhere outside, wandering around the woods, following Bane's tracks, until the moment when the light came over the hills, and he turned to stone where he stood.
