The Eighth Day Dawns...
It was a week since the village had discovered the dead body of Formendacil, the eighth day of deliberating, of trying to find the Werewolves. And yet again, they awoke to find one of their number missing. This time, it was Rune.
What had happened to the short, shoeless, little man, none of them knew- except one, of course- but they all guessed. And when they came to Rune's home on the east end of the village, they were proven right. Rune, Son of Bjarne, lay dead on his floor, the taletell marks of his Wolvish killers marring his body.
"Did he leave any instructions about what to do with his body?" said Malkatoj, with a sniffle.
"No," said Farael. "He always spoke of other things: peace, prosperity, a new world order, the importance of community, of living in a commune of peace. That commune-ism was his chief interest."
"Wasn't there a connection to a Dwarf?" asked Cailin. "I seem to recall some bearded dwarf creature figuring into all that commune stuff."
"No, it wasn't a Dwarf," said Naria. "I think it was a comedian. Markes, or something like that."
"He looked like a Groucho, anyway," said Cailin.
"We'll bury him with the others, then," said Azaelia. "With all his talk of community, it only seems appropriate. Such a pity that someone so devoted to peace had to die so violently."
"That's why the sword can never be laid down," said Naria. "Be as pacifistic as you like, the other side can never be guaranteed to do the same. 'tis better to keep your trust in arms."
"Which reminds me," said Malkatoj, "though I doubt that any of us could really have forgotten it, but we still need to hunt out at least one more Werewolf."
"Hunt it out, and kill it," said Naria, coldly.
Night 8 is over, Day 8 is begun.
