The Rangers started up in low spirits after their aroused hope had been cut off from them so suddenly and in such an evil way. To freeze to death in this weather was just a bit too concrete for them as they made their way in the blizzard. They went on silently, pushing through the snow.

But for the first time in a few days the weather actually started settling down a bit come afternoon. The blizzard changed slowly into a snowfall and the wind eased it’s grip making the cold a bit more bearable. And with the change of weather the minds of the Rangers changed as well – and they started talking once again.

Roa and Legate were now more or less openly against each other while the others mainly listened to them from aside trying to figure out what it was all about.

Finally Roa seemed to have enough of it all and went to the fore. “I’m not a fool. And I’m not going to start any wars here so I’ll go and scout forwards. If the most influential person here has decided I’m suspicious then be it. Live with that. But I’ll vote for him to be lynched.”

With that he went and soon disappeared into the snowfall.

The others went forward with their normal speed and mainly discussed Roa’s behaviour. They all thought it rash and hasty. What had happened to that valiant and reasonable man? Maybe he was a werewolf after all? Maybe he went ahead to prepare a trap for them? They should lynch him was the general agreement even if a few disagreed.


When the night started to crawl on them they finally saw a fire in the distance. Roa had set up a fire at the Dead Man’s Hollow as they had presumed.

“So you have come to lynch me then?” Roa yelled to them from a distance. “Well I’ve picked a suitable place for it.”

The Rangers dropped their packings and draw their swords.

“C’mon Roa, give yourself up and we’ll kill you quick and painlessly!” Fea shouted.

“Don’t try anything stupid Roa! There is no way you can overpower us all!” Legate called to him.

“And if you’re an innocent you don’t want to make things worse now do you?” Greenie suggested.

“Now that’s just it! I hate conspiracies played out in front of me in bright daylight!” For a moment Roa went silent and it looked like he was grinning to the irony of the term he had used.

The others drew closer their blades ready.

“You left us, isn’t that enough? Now what’s the trap you have in mind?” Loslote yelled.

“There is no trap…” Roa said quietly “… only justice!”

With that Roa sprang towards the Rangers.

Gwath was the first to pass Roa’s path. Roa clearly tried to avoid him but Gwath gave him a blow to the side with his sword. Roa stumbled but managed to keep his balance and avoid the next swing of the sword by Fea. He was bleeding but none slower for agility. He was the old soldier here.

The others tried to encircle him but he kept evading the hits and being closed in. Legate managed a hit to his side but it didn’t seem to affect him too much.

“If you’re innocent, this is ridiculous Roa!” Greenie yelled on top of the hassle and confusion – only to realise Roa suddenly stood in front of him.

“Okay, I’m ready now you traitor!” With that Roa threw his blade into Greenie’s throat. Greenie yelled and then wheezed when the blood burst out from his throat. Loslote’s and Gwath’s swords cut Roa at the same moment.

Both Greenie and Roa fell to the snow and the blood stained the white surface beneath them. Neither changed into anything. They had both been innocents…
