AHHHHHHHH. Hard times are upon us, villagers of Shamville. Harder times than when you wouldn't buy my fiddles and lutes and I nearly went out of business. My life has been spent in the carving of wood into works of art with voices of their own, not in pursuit of foul beasts. But it seems that is the task Fate has dealt us all.

Here's a plan. Back when I was a small lass, my gaffer had a pet dog. (Patience, patience, there is a point to this story.) Whenever I would sing a high note or squeak out a tune on my fiddle, the dog would howl. Nearly drove me out of my mind. Wolves are pretty close to dogs. Maybe if I let out a high C, the wolves would be like Huan Jr. and howl too, giving away their identities.

Oh, wait. I already sang my high C and the wolves didn't emit a single note. I guess that won't work. So I don't have any better plan for the moment than the previous suggestion to speak out in debate.
