What a shame, Enca wasn't much a customer but she and her stories will be missed, especially the scandals about the politicians. And that poor llama, one less supplier for my business.

Pure lies. Except for those about tgwbs.

My teeth will never be the same now that we lost someone.

What a terrible loss...Enca was always happy to buy a flower or two from me, no matter how wilted they were.

I've been among this town for only a short while, however I have given attention to all members of the village and I have some ideas. If I were a betting man I would say that

Kitanna
Bergil
Wilwarin of the numbers
are all wolves and that

Meneltemacil

is the bear.

Just in being among this town I've always felt something strange about them, not least because of their strange request. They were constantly asking for raw meat and other products such as large quantities of hair care products. Had I had the presence of mind to suspect them I would have known at the time they were wolves and a bear. Well there is my judgment for the time.

Meneltarmacil · 09-03-2005, 07:21 PM

Well, this was a terrible tragedy for Swankytown. I remember Enca well, always used to come and watch the monkeys, somehow they seemed to to really bond with each other.

As for the wolves and bears in the zoo, I can assure you that they are fed regularly and well-taken care of, with plenty of space to move around in, and cannot get out of their pens (I don't trust Bergil's skills enough to let him build a box, let alone a pen for large carnivorous animals!).

I'll check back here later, but now I've got to go feed the boa constrictor.

Lawks a Lordy! Looks like we've got ourselves an outbreak of lycanthrope in this here village. I heard of a similar thing happening in another village over yonder when I was harvesting mushrooms in the area. They say that the villagers there prevailed, though many died before the fiends were vanquished, both through the creatures' night-time activities and through the lynching of poor innocent villagers.

Seems it may be time for me to move on, being as I'm itinerant an' all. Then again, this village has treated me kindly, so I feel duty bound to stay and help in this time of need. That and the fact that there are still mushrooms in these parts to be harvested.

Let all speak! Mayhaps the beasts will drop their guard and we will be able to tell who is foul and who is fair.

Who am I kidding? We are just going to have to hang whoever seems the most suspicious and keep our fingers crossed.

Personally, I have four main suspects:

Kath
Shelob
Menaltarmacil and
Bergil

Kath's garden was clearly visited by this Werebear. Could it have come from her house? And the tracks led to Shelob's house. Is that because that is where it lives? Meneltarmacil seems far too well-acquainted with beasts of all kinds. As for Bergil, he's on my list because the shelves that he put up for me keep falling down.

Mark my words. It's those four that we should be keeping our eyes on.

Kitanna · 09-03-2005, 07:46 PM

Oh my! Not dear Enca, she was always such a sweet girl. And the llama, well the llama never did no harm to anyone. What sort of heartless monster would do that?

Folwren · 09-03-2005, 07:59 PM

Great scott...someone dead! I never thought I'd see the day. It's no wonder, though. Enca's doors don't have any proper locks. If I'd had known, I would have made her some. And if she felt threatened (one would have thought that something would have made her feel threatened if she were going to be slaughtered), she might have said something and iron could have even been put on the lower windows of her house. The possibilites of what might have been done to prevent such a murder are tremendously numorous.

And my dear Saucepan Man, I have to say that I agree with you on at least one of your suspects. I think that Menaltarmacil is the Bear.

(And I find Alcarillo rather questionable, too. What time to ask for votes! Heavens, man, one of your people just died. You didn't even mention a day of prayer or fasting...I'll warrant you didn't put the flag at half mast, either.)

Glirdan · 09-03-2005, 08:03 PM

Oh poor Enca! Poor, poor Enca! She was my best customer! She always came to my shop and bought the mozzerella cheese! Now my sales profits will greatly decline!

On a sidenote, please don't press charges Gil! How was I supposed to know your bird didn't like cheddar cheese? From now on, whenever you come to my shop, you get free cheese!

On another sidenote, I'll buy a sword and shield my dear mormegil.

Getting back on topic, I believe it's to early to cast any votes. We should approach this disaster with caution. We could end up lynching an innocent if we just randomly accuse people. If I had any suspicions, it would be the Saucepan Man and mormegil (don't get mad at me for that my dear old friend) due to their rashness in automatically accusing people. But as I said, I'm not casting my vote yet. Let's wait and see what the other villager's have to say about this.

Meneltarmacil · 09-03-2005, 08:05 PM

Well, perhaps it's best to look at the motives behind this attack. Clearly, someone wanted Enca to die. Why would somebody want that? Alcarillo's comments are interesting, perhaps he didn't want public opinion to be swayed against him and did away with her. Or maybe tgwbs wanted to make it appear that Alcarillo was incapable of protecting the town against the wolves and bear so he would fall out of favor and tgwbs would become mayor in his place.

However, it is hard to tell at this point who is a beast and who is not. My 20-sided die (we have 21, but subtracting my name gives us an even 20), useful for choosing things at random, says Alcarillo is the one we should look at, though like I said, this choice is random.

The monkeys have really been taking Enca's death hard. I'd better go try to cheer them up. Maybe a few bananas will help. *sigh* Such hard times have fallen on us lately... Why did it have to be our village?
