The villagers woke up, much as villagers are obliged to do in the mornings. Orodreth viewed late mornings as a sign of treachery, not to mention how unproductive they were.
A headcount revealed that the village was now down to single-figures, which was mildly depressing. The absence of any giant dancing spiders was immediately noticeable as the cause of this. Dancing spawn of ungoliant had been taken in the night!
As per usual, the villagefolk traipsed to the home of the deceased. What would it hold? Would their yearning for blood and gore be satisfied with this death? The door to the small shack creaked open as they filed in.
The remains of dancing spawn of ungoliant lay, face down, in the middle of the floor. As well as being a (rather poor) house-wife, dancing spawn supplemented her income by selling small tree-frogs on the black market – it all made sense now! She had supplied the frog… and now the werewolves had exacted terrible vengeance (though ulterior motives couldn't be ruled out, of course).
The body has suffered cruelly. Turning her over, the villagers saw that her throat had been forcibly removed, and a small, rather limp amphibian had been shoved down her windpipe. What a horrible way to die, asphyxiated by a frog! And to think that two members of their humble village had died so! This must have been some kind of record, surely.
Surroundings inspected for any oddities (there were none), the villagers filed out again, leaving dancing spawn of ungoliant lying on her floor with a frog half-way down her throat, to discuss who the remaining wolves could be.
NB: Yes, I was feeling quite… odd when I wrote that. And yes, I re-used a few jokes. So sue me. My contract with you people says nothing about originality.
