A system of daily lynching was decided on. They would vote to kill someone each day, then hang him from the gallows.
Yes, the mansion had an indoor gallows. Shut up. Those gallows were old and dusty though. A test lynch was needed! And who better to test it on than the
Village Idiot?
_Nobody_ was strung up by the neck and hung for all to see. Satisfied with this, everyone went to bed for a good night's rest.
Some slept a bit too deeply, though. Two scuffles were heard in the night, with screams and howls intertwined. The crowd of villagers later examined each site to find evidence.
Staxed, the first to be attacked, was found thrown through a wall with inhuman strength. How could anyone survive that? Somehow, though, he crawled out of the plaster with nothing more than a pounding headache. It was a miracle! He lived!
The next scene was equally terrifying.
Goreae is found in his room cleaning blood off of a pocket knife. It seems he was attacked by a wolf in the night, but he too survived. The way he told it, he fought off the beast with nothing more than the knife! All he could remember of the incident was a flash of froth and the song of a blueJay.
Everyone was now ready for some sleep.
Vikestep in particular was quite tired. He didn't see the shadow on the ground sliding towards him until it was too late. He screwed his eyes shut in a final defense... Only to see
Not_Steve collapsed in front of him. Did he jump in front of the shadow to protect Vike? Not_Steve was knocked unconscious but otherwise okay, aside from a slight feeling of dread. A miniature pentagram had appeared on his forehead...
