The stench of doom hung in the air like fog. If a werewolf was not lynched today, then the entire village would be destroyed. Each villager cast a vote, and in the end it was decided that a double lynching would occur; if two wolves were lynched, the village would survive to see the next day; if only one wolf, or no wolves, were lynched, then the village was doomed.

Boro and Fordim were selected to die, both had acted like a King's Man, but nobody in the village was sure which was Ar-Pharazôn's true spy. Their deaths were imaginative: they would be tied to the mast of Boro's boat and the boat would be sunk into the harbor, where a watery grave awaited them. Kath, Holby, and Formendacil led the victims down the pier, the one without the smoldering remains of a pyre, and shoved them onto Boro's boat. The villagers tied them to the mast with itchy rope from the warehouse, where Lhuna's head still remained, unable to be found among the rotting crates. Neither Boro nor Fordim struggled; they seemed happy to be giving up their lives for the werewolves and the destruction of the village. The villagers then drilled a hole into the hull using poor Morm's drill, and the salty water gushed into the boat. The villagers leapt off the boat and onto the pier, to more safely survey the sinking. Boro was now trying to free himself of the ropes when he saw that death was unavoidable, but Fordim stood calm and proud. "I am glad to have helped further our great king's plans!" Then he laughed, just as the mast dipped below the waves. The tops of Boro's and Fordim's heads poked out from the harbor, just enough to let the villagers on the pier survey the drowning. From the pier the villagers could see Boro trying to claw his way to the surface, but as the minutes passed, both victims ceased to move. Kath leaned forward and peered into the water.

"Neither are werewolves!" She cried. Her stomach turned upside-down as she realized her horrible fate. She wheeled around, only to see Formendacil and Holbytlass transform into wolves. They grew thick, shaggy hair all over their bodies, and their eyes turned yellow, and they sprouted tails and fangs and snouts. Finally, they grew to an immense size, and burst from their clothing with a howl. Kath was terrified. She shoved past the changing werewolves, and ran into town. There was a tool shed near the warehouse, and there she ran, with the werewolves now in hot pursuit. She locked herself inside and selected a pitchfork from the tools. The werewolves were now at the door, banging on it and clawing it apart. There was no hope of escape: there would be no Alcarillo and Lhuna to wield their swords against the monsters, no Aiwendil with his flashing arrows, and no Jack to lend his sage advice. It was just Kath, alone in the tool shed. She gripped her pitchfork firmly; at least she would not go down without a fight. Gathering her courage, she unbolted the door, and the werewolves sprang inside, with red tongues hanging from their jaws and the scent of blood in the air. Kath thrust her pitchfork with all her strength, but it was no use, and the werewolves were upon her, and they dug into her skin with their claws, and she fell to the dirty floor screaming.
