TOL-IN-GAURHOTH XII, Erbar Telamarth

[the phantom]

Encaitare tore the arrow out of her middle and flung it at Mister Underhill. It pierced him in the thigh, and he fell with cry. Encaitare then hunched down and began slowly creeping towards her victims. Esty sat on the ground with eyes open wide, too scared to move or scream.

Mister Underhill threw his head back and cried to the empty sky, "Eru! Deliver us from this Werewolf!!"

Encaitare pulled back her clawed hand, preparing to slash Mister Underhill, but suddenly two thick arms grabbed her around the waist.

"What?!" she yelled, as she was lifted off her feet.

It was Mister Underhill's watch stone.

"May Eru be praised!" shouted Mister Underhill.

Encaitare struggled with all her might. She kicked the watch stone, and scraped at it with her claws, but nothing could break its hold. Mister Underhill painfully crawled forward and picked up his bow and arrow.

"You won't recover from this shot!" he said as he loosed the shaft. It flew straight into the roof of Enca's open mouth and pierced her evil brain.

The villagers had won!
