WWJ VIII ~ Things That Go "Quack" In The Night

[Diamond18]

The Kum-Bah-Yah-ing of the morning was misleading indeed, as the second day saw the village descend into madness. The Moddess Goddess watched from her airy cloud throne in the sky and was amused by it all, verily.

By the close, the young Ent Glirdan’s accusation of Dancing Spawn of Ungoliant stuck, and the spider loving orcish astronaut was slated for death.

Glirdan, Roa, Nogrod, and Saucepan Orc seized the less-than-comely maiden and pinned her to the ground, though she thrashed and her skin was slimy, making it hard to get a really good handhold on her. However since Nogrod worked out, he was pretty buff, and was able to overpower their quarry.

“Let’s see how much you like spiders now,” snickered Valier, approaching with a jar of Spawn’s favorite pet spiders in her hand. Mormegil and Jenny watched approvingly but did nothing, as Morm was too idle an elf to sully his hands thus, and Jenny was, of course, not really there.

“What are you doing with my pretties?” Spawn gasped, but her question was soon answered as Valier dumped the contents of the jar into her gasping mouth.

Down her gullet tumbled the arachnids, and she choked and gagged on them, their fuzzy little thorax’s muting her screams.

The villagers watched in disgust, then horror, as the orc’s body changed. To tell the truth, aesthetically it was an improvement, as the feathers covered up her festering skin and the beak looked quite a bit better than her warty nose. But these villagers were a strange lot who lived in harmony with orcs and feared quacking waterfowl.

No sooner had she sprouted wings than the Dancing Duck of Ungoliant breathed — or rather choked — her last.

Simultaneously, the bystander Elu Ancalime was struck by a blinding flash of Mod Fire from above and burst into flames. His charred remains fell smoking to the ground and struck fear into the hearts of non-voters everywhere.
