It was a drizzly sort of morning when the villagers awoke on the morning of Day 4. Quickly taking stock of their numbers (which, alas, was growing ever smaller) and found that [d]Dancing Spawn[/b] no longer lived among them.

What would they do without their beloved landlady? Absurd question: she had had but one tenant, already dead, and it was unlikely that any more would come to this mistakenly named village.

With these heavy thoughts in mind, the villagers headed off to Dancing Spawn’s lovely home. Today, the door was wide open and inside were signs of evident struggle. The front room was the room in which possible tenants had their first impression of Dancing Spawn’s ably run business, and she had always taken great pride in its appearance. Now, however, the curtains were shredded, the furniture in pieces, and the stuffing from the pillows had been ripped out. The wolves had clearly been on a rampage the previous night, and for good reason: the villager they had thought was the Seer was no seer at all. In fact, she was completely ordinary.

On the stairway, the fifth and sixth steps had been smashed in, revealing the contents of the closet beneath. It was into this closet that Dancing Spawn had been stuffed (through the hole in the stairs, not the door). The villagers saw clearly that she had been put through a lot of pain before being killed: her legs and arms were both twisted in such ways as no limbs were meant to be built. Finally satisfied with the painful punishment for not being the seer, the wolves had twisted her head around 180 degrees, instantly killing the unfortunate landlady.

Some thought she looked reminiscent of a pretzel; others merely saw a knot. Either way, it looked to have been an entirely unpleasant experience. Rather sickened by the sight, the villagers retreated outside, and for once, no one had anything to say.
