Alas! Two more innocent villagers are gone from our midst within this last day and night! My eyes are red with the tears I have shed, my heart is heavy and my head too weary to comprehend the horror of it. And yet think we must, attempting to prevent more of the same. Sixteen of us there were before the deaths began; now there are ten, and two of them still wolves. One of the six deceased was a wolf whom we have vanquished, yet who is to say that there may not be a cursed villager who joins them to increase their numbers again?
We must choose wisely and debate with utmost care today. I for my part will do my very best to contribute, for I must atone for Shelob's death, of which I was, unwittingly, a cause. And I wish to avenge LMP's death, for we are now shown the true nobility he hid behind his careless ways. Who could have known that his concern for our comfort and rest was genuine, that all this time he was tirelessly protecting us in secret?
I will dry my eyes and return for speech with you all.
