The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - View Single Post - Tol-in-Gaurhoth XX: Wereorc I: The elves cannot hide themselves much longer.

Farael · 04-15-2006, 06:39 PM

After enjoying a moderate success during the night the village discussed their way into a second lynching.

-----It should be noted here that even though, technically, only the ranger had had a minor victory everyone decided (unilaterally, meaning without the ranger’s approval) to share the glory ----

Opinions were divided and for a moment it seemed that no consensus was going to be achieved. Yet as the day trickled down towards the night, a revelation happened

Azaelia: “I am the ranger and JennyHallu is a wereorc!”

Nogrod: “Hey, wait a minute, the Seer is the one to have dreams, not the ranger!”

Voice outside of the viewer’s field of view: “Tsk…. Nogrod!! There is no seer on this game”

Nogrod: “Yes, of course!! I mean, eh…. The Shaman is the one to have dreams… no, that’s not accurate, anyone can have dreams… I meant eh… oh…. uh…”

SleepyRanger: “Ok, we got it… we’ll ignore that last remark. But then, why did you say you are the ranger, Zali you fool! Having a dream does not make you any more innocent than having a nightmare!”

Naria: “…“ Naria is known for NOT being very talkative on werewolf/orc/cat/penguin/little-furry-creatures-from-alpha-centauri games

Findëasëa : “Wait a moment… if having a dream does not mean you are an innocent… how do we know that you are the ranger at all?”

Azaelia: “Because I protected Spawn last night”

Findëasëa: “You are hopeless… I was trying to give you a way out”

Naria: “…”

Kitanna: “Well, it still does not mean that she is the ranger I guess… or at least, it’s not certain, but I say we lynch JennyHallu anyway”

Caranlondien: “Yeah! If Azaelia is playing some extremely complicated bluff, we’ll know by tomorrow her true colours after lynching [B[Jenny[/B]”

Naria: “mphhhhh…. …. …. .”

Roa_Aoife [Turning around]: “Look Naria, if you are going to talk say something, don’t just try to get our attention and then stay silen… what the heck is that!!!”

It was then the villagers realized Naria was not doing it just to appear on the day’s kill write up. JennyHallu or well…. A black creature with crooked teeth, bloodshot eyes and a horrible, lumpy face… was slowly retreating towards the exit, as the villagers argued with each other. She was dragging Naria as a hostage and had stuffed a scarf that said “The world is going to end, and I’ll help it by killing one bloody elf every night. Really, I hate those elves, all pretty and such. Still, the world is going to end and I will kill them all!! Or at least some, but a woman can dream, can’t she?” (it was a rather long scarf) on Naria’s mouth. The scarf explained Naria’s silence as well as confirming without any doubt that JennyHallu was indeed a wereorc.

The elves ran as fast as only elves can run (without leaving any marks on the snow that covered some patches of the villager for dramatic purposes) and finally corralled JennyHallu before she… or well, it… could escape the village

Azaelia: “I stopped you last night, now I shall finish my job and kill you!”

JennyOrcu: “ugh dar thelar meith dan agggggg”

Celuien: “That’s dark speech… does anyone know what it means?”

Jenny: “No you fools, I was choking in that stupidly long scarf… what was I thinking when I made it? Anyway, Azaelia… I must say the ranger last night caught us by surprise yet you are not him. He was a ten feet tall man, with arms as big as my legs and a chest the size of Sleepy applebarrel.”

Diamond18: “Uh…. I wouldn’t want to sound too argumentative, it’ll get my lynched sooner or later but… there is no-one that fits that description in this village”

Dancing Spawn: “It matters not, I say kill her!!!!!”

Then, as the villagers closed their circle, threatening the wereorc with sharp pointy things, something rather unexpected happened. Jenny threw Naria towards the crowd and did what at the time was misinterpreted as a very sophisticated attempt at doing a double back-flip through a loop while whistling “Star Spangled Banner”. Yet what it actually meant was:

“So long, and thanks for all the flesh”

Then, and to the surprise of everyone involved, JennyHallu sprouted wings and flew away.

Legolas in Spandex: “I might be new at this but… since when do orcs have wings?”

Nogrod: “Well, as far as I know, they don’t”

JennyHallu: “What do you mean we don’t?”

Then, the brief glitch of altered reality was reversed and the wings vanished into thin air. And the air was rather thin as JennyHallu was flying high above the village. What happened next is so gruesome and gory, it will be replaced by some selected scenes of a teenager horror movie. Those movies are never unnecessarily gory and gruesome, right?

It suffices to say that after the fall, the villagers had one wereorc less to worry about. As a celebration, they all decided to throw their sombreros high up in the air. Yet because of an error of judgement of the current winds and the natural strength of the elves, the sombreros flew really high and when they landed a few villagers got some rather nasty bruises. They had thought of having a party all night long to celebrate, yet after the bruising they decided to lock themselves in and pray to Eru they survived the night.

Day 2 has ended, a wereorc has been lynched

There are still 2 wereorcs, 1 Ranger and 1 Shaman living.

Caranlondien: aspiring harpist
JennyHallu: Doomsday prophet
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Findëasëa: paleoelfropologist
Celuien:lampwright
Zali: stringer-of-bows
Diamond: Inept Jewel Smith
Dancing Spawn...: a merchant
Kitanna:The town's gate-keeper
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers
Sleepy A barrel of apples
Legolas in spandex: Legolass (A movie-Legolas impersonator)
Roa_Aoife aspiring ballad writer

Now dead:
FaraelMod: He dyed… erm I mean died.
GlirdanRepentant werewolf : Choked on an apple. No wonder why werewolves are carnivores.
JennyHalluWereorc: Escaped the village, but could not escape the laws of physics.

A few notes:

Please, I don’t want to sound bitchy but I’d really like to ensure a fair and fun game for everyone who is involved. With regards to my comments today about Roa’s explanation, I appreciate the help, but she used Diamond, who is currently in the game, as an example. Even though she clearly said that it was not her vote, it could be read by others as some kind of hint at some point down the line. For reasons such as that is that I’m asking you let me address those questions. If you want to give me a heads-up, you are more than welcome to, just PM me.

Furthermore, as I can’t be certain that I’ll always be here in time to close off the talking, please unless I say otherwise, stop talking at 6 PM CT, 11 PM GMT. Again, this is to ensure a fair game for everyone.

Having said that, you all are doing grate and I love to see “my” village being so talkative. And such insightful newcomers!!! I’m proud of you all *beams with fatherly love, even though he is neither your father nor a father figure nor he had any actual influence on your werewolfing/orcing/etc style*

Remaining wereorcs you may PM each other and I need your nightly pick

Ranger and Shaman, I also need your picks, but no PMing you two
