Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIV: Nyárë Nauroron Númenoreva - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alcarillo · 12-09-2005, 06:09 PM

The villagers argued all day, attacking each other's theories while defending their own. The votes ultimately pointed to WaynetheGoblin, who wasn't known for his helpfulness. He tried to escape the crowd of villagers, violently screaming, but the strongest wrestled him to the ground and tied him up.

The pyre intended for Gurthang still sat at the end of one of the piers. The villagers decided not to waste a pile of perfectly good wood, and so thought it would be the perfect way to get rid of a pesky werewolf. Wayne, however, thought differently. He had read about burns and their treatment in his medical tomes, and shuddered at what he faced.

And so the villagers raised his bound body into the air, along with pitchforks and torches, and Wayne continued to scream. They marched down the pier chanting "Kill the werewolf! Or King's man! Whichever one he be!", placed him on a pole immerging from the pyre, and tied him fast to it, and they also gagged him so his screams wouldn't bother anybody. And then the villagers threw all of their torches into the wood. They all watched the flames crawl up Wayne's body, and soon he was a roaring fire. After some minutes roasting marshmallows for such an occasion, they doused the flames to see their dead werewolf. But their spirits fell as soon as the smoking embers died out: Wayne was no werewolf. He was just an ordinary villager, caught in a village controlled by fear and paranoia.
