Chapter VI
After the apparent triumph of the former vote, those still believing in Hercules's guilt rallied once again to get the Courtier killed. This time no viable alternative candidate appeared, and even though by a rather close margin, Hercules won, well, lost, and was summarily executed. His pleas for a recount and an additional impartial examination of the items used in the vote went unheeded.
***
Even having just marginally survived the execution vote, DrSpike decided to further study the corpse of Duke o' york, which amidst all the humdrum about the murder weapon had gone rather unnoticed. For a refreshing change, he decided to peek inside the Duke's stomach. In it, he discovered that besides the presumed wine he had consumed, before his death the Duke had also consumed a significant quantity of bread, to satisfy his middle-of-the-night hunger pangs no doubt.
With Hercules not keeping watch, the inevitable happened - Tuberski came to pay his respects to the belated gjramsey.
"My word! DrSpike, what on earth are you doing!" Tuberski exclaimed, seeing the healer standing in front of a gutted Duke o' york, his hands cuddling the opened bowels of the deceased in question.
DrSpike just stood there, not too taken aback by the words. "I am studying the dead so that I can keep the ones alive alive longer. Am I to be condemned only for my desire to help the living?"
Tuberski shrugged. "I imagine it is not my place to decide that... really, it sounds rather a remarkable idea. It is foul to the eyes, however."
"Then please let me do my work in peace and quiet."
"As you wish... I will have time to pay my respects later."
***
The following morning was as bleak as the one before - but the inhabitants of the haggard inn had grown accustomed to it, as unfathomable as it sounds. DrSpike, the brilliant physician, was discovered in a state of perpetual and incurable death. The healer's neck had apparently been snapped - no one could verify this with DrSpike's knowhow stuck in a dead piece of neurons - but he had also been bludgeoned with something, which was obvious from he trauma in his head - possibly to stop him to do the actual neck-snapping, or possibly due to some other reasons privy only to the killer.

ACK!
noticing a pattern here) and we are waiting on Jonny to update Nascar, so I seem to have a fair bit of my Forum Games time on my hands for keeping the tally here. 
I'm hurt.
