End of Day the Fourteenth
Despite impassioned pleas for the "misunderstood", the fourteenth day marked the departure of not one but two oafish fellows:
Troll: 3 votes
The Giant from the Wild Hills: 3 votes
Smith of Wooton Major: 1 vote
His wife, Nell: 1 vote
Herbert Dorkins: 1 vote
And so, as Troll sat alone on his seat of stone, munching and mumbling on a bare old bone, the Giant squished him to an indiscernible patty whilst walking by. The Giant then slipped because of the gooey slick of Troll-flesh on his foot, and tumbled off a cliff into the ocean.
