The Midsummer Maulings (WW5)

[mormegil]

Thank you. I hope to see the double plus sign followed by your own name soon.

Unsure if it's been done but I will take my own life in my own fashion

++MORMEGIL

I have a sword handy I can cast myself upon.

[mormegil]

That's 5 votes for me my fate is sealed.

Wonderful.

Morm, whatever you do, it is painstakingly obvious that you are a wolf. Nothing you do will change that. Sorry. I speak for myself, and hopefully for the rest of us, when I say our votes will not be changing, no matter how dramatic a show you put on.

[mormegil]

I'm not asking you to change your votes. I am merely going to die on my own terms.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

In order to save our lovely mod some time (and eyesight) here are the final votes:

5/9 go to Mormegil. Voting for him were: Firefoot, Fea, TGWBS, Holby, and Morm himself.

Your martyrdom is touching, though entirely unbelievable.

[Firefoot]

Thus we either seal our doom or postpone it.

The only problem with such a short day is we don't get to hear from about half our villagers - four, to be precise, and the very four which we don't know about. Alas.

TGWBS, your defence is fairly satisfactory. I'll be checking it out closer, but for now I'm satisfied. I don't know if I really think you're a wolf or not, but, like Fea, I'd kick myself to find it was so.

I'm thinking to go after Kath tomorrow.

So is everybody, I presume. What is clear is that we cannot make a single mistake from now to the end, or all is lost.

Yet again I come back to find myself under suspicion. I think I might just have to set up some kind of encampment here so I can keep an eye on this.

Earlier I said I would wait for Mormegil's defence and while it is obviously now too late for me to vote I'll just say that I found it shoddy at best. It cast doubt upon our Seer, who may not have revealed herself because she saw that many people were changing their votes from herself to Holby. She left before the votes changed again and so may have thought that it would be safer to stay in the dark and hope that she had left enough hints for us to figure out. Unfortunately we were not quick enough on the uptake and so she died.

Now, as to me. Firefoot says she wants to vote for me and has so far been supported by TGWBS. This worries me as I have been having concerns about TGWBS all day. Firefoot's post ealier (or was it yesterday?) about him possibly playing a double bluff gave me pause for thought. And now today he is going along with her ideas with no reasoning off his own. This strikes me as odd. Perhaps he is trying to put her off his trail? Firefoot seems to me trustworthy, maybe he feels that associating with her will keep suspicion away from him.

If you want a reason as to why I stopped being suspicious of Mormegil it was because he seemed quite so contrite about Gil's death once he realised he was an innocent and then gave him the benefit of the doubt many times after his reincarnation. I realise this has no basis in fact but it threw me off long enough.

Anyway, if it counts:

++Mormegil

[the guy who be short]

First of all, I am not associating myself with Firefoot. I have my own reasons to suspect you, which I have picked up on independantly, and everybody else probably has too.

Secondly, you should be concerned about me.

Thirdly, smooth talking. You go, Girl! Or should that be she-wolf...?

Patronising the mod may also be punishable by death Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

I never patronize. Just simplify. And how could you possibly resist reading through? After all... my posts are mixed in there.

Add to my count two more votes for Mormegil given by Kath and Oro.

[mormegil]

I hope Nilp/Adam and Gil vote for me so I can get 100% of the vote.

OK Take that as a yellow card - one more strike and you are out.

For one all villagers present were united though this time they did not need force of numbers. Mormegil walked calmly to the gallows. If the villagers felt any compassion for the young girl and the imminent end of her brilliant short life they did not show it. The noose was slipped around her neck and the diminutive body of the girl was released. So small was she that the drop was not enough to break her neck and as the noose tightened mormegil gasped for a final breath. Her body twisted and turned and as it did so her garments were rent as she resumed her other form. Instead of a girl the sinuous body of a werewolf teisted at the gallows.

The other villagers rushed to make sure the deed was accomplished and in death, mormegil resumed her wholseome form.

The villagers had finally killed a werewolf - but was it too little too late.


Night has now fallen.

Wolves (compulsory) and Guardian (optional) should e mail their choices.

While night lasts 24 hours, I should warn you that I am unlikely to be online tomorrow evening, so if I do not receive the necessary communications before 1.45 pm BST , it may be Saturday afternoon before I am online again. Sorry but I have a short notice work meeting and also short notice chance to see a very dear family friend. Given that she is 90 and lives a long way off you will understand why I am not passing up this chance.
