As usual, phantom's reasoning is hard to argue against. I think it is worth a try.

Then we have our first victim!

Anguirel, step forward to the noose, if you will, man....

Terribly sorry, BTW, old chum. Didn't mean to look pushy or anything.

It is 6 votes isn't it?

I'm sorry to see you go Anguirel, but since it seems my vote is moot I will hold my tongue and wish you a pain free death.

Well I recant and hope that it was painful beyond belief you blight to our beautiful village.

Thank you sir.

And so, I am proven correct. Anguirel was indeed a werewolf. Whichever one of you is the seer, use your gift wisely during the next night. Most of us are fairly confident that Fea is a wolf, but you can dream about her just to make sure. However, if you are already certain about Fea, then try to discover the third werewolf.

But who will be the third?

Well, I said earlier that I suspected Primrose Bolger, but despite popular belief, I am not entirely infallible.

*sigh* Why do I get the feeling that either Saucy or I will die tonight?

Hey werewolves, you should eat Saucy instead of me. I mean, you wouldn't have to go looking for something to cook him in- he's already wearing all the pans you need.

DAY has ended and NIGHT is here. No more talking until 6PM this evening when I will reveal who the werewolves have killed.

*** A reminder***
When you are dead, you are dead, and cannot particpate in public or private discussions. I'm sure players will want to continue to support their team, but the survivors will have to make it on the own.

The villagers awoke to a bright morning, surprised that they had each slept soundly through the night. No noises had kept them from slumber, and even the wind had lain silent, like a warm blanket over a cold nightmare that faded with the stars. When dawn arrived, people slowly emerged from their homes, wondering if the wolfish menace had moved on to another town, scared off by clever inhabitants of the small hamlet. Perhaps Anguirel’s death had convinced them to find easier victims.

Mormegil waved to The Phantom, and both shared a cheerful ‘good morning’ with Primrose Bolger and Firefoot. Together, the four old friends walked around the town, checking in on Oddwen, Feanor, and Bilbo_Baggins. Kuruharan joined the group, and at last even Mithalwen emerged from her tiny but picturesque cottage. Everyone was safe, it seemed.

“Well,” asked someone, “are we missing anyone?”

“Where’s The Saucepan Man?”

“Cooking us a good breakfast, I should hope. Let us go down to the tavern and see.”

Convinced that they had rid themselves of their beastly troubles, the villagers walked to Saucepan’s place with all expectations of a good breakfast and some hot coffee. But when they approached his home, their faces fell, and the horror of the previous day came rushing back like an avalanche of stones.

The Saucepan Man’s front door hung ajar, silent as the night had been, and from inside came no noise or light. They carefully entered, suddenly expecting the worst. But they were surprised to find everything in place and unmolested. The last embers of the evening’s fire glowed dully in the hearth, and a great pan still hung where the Saucepan Man did much of his cooking.

“Perhaps he did make breakfast, after all,” said someone, looking for a plate and some silverware.

But they were wrong. The pan was indeed full of flesh, but when the villagers discovered what was simmering over the dying fire, they all began to scream.

It is now DAY. All players can talk publicly in the thread until 6PM tomorrow evening, when we will hang someone. Of course, if a majority vote is reached earlier, we may get to string someone up before 6PM.

With four votes in the last four posts, ANGUIREL's total reaches six, and he is immediately bound and led toward the gallows, with the mob screaming behind him in a maddened frenzy. As he stumbles up the stairs, he looks down on his accusers with a look of horror in his eyes, as if to say "Why?". Tears rolls down his face as the hangman places a burlap sack over his head, and his cries are muffled by his mask as the noose is fit snuggly around his neck. Without fanfare or pause, the lever is pulled and Anguirel falls downward with a sickening thud...

... but not the expected *snap* of the neck...

... though the villagers had braced themselves for their victim's neck to break loudly, they were unprepared for what happened next. Intead of the silence of death, the mob heard a horrible shriek and a wail as if the hounds of hell had been released. Anguirel's body writhed and shook at the end of the rope, and his head rolled back to reveal a ghastly maul of fangs and blood. His arms, tied behind his back, flexed in mounds of monstrous flesh that threatend to break the beast's bonds. But the villagers had tied the knots correctly, just as they had correctly deduced the beast among them.

The entire village cheered as the werewolf slowly choked to death on the shaking gibbet.

What about me? I had him figured out long ago. Good job you voted for him too.

So even if I die tonight, I will tell you all now that I think Feanor was another of the werewolves. But who will be the third? Or did someone vote for another werewolf? Shoot one of your one?

Who will know?
