WWJ XI: When World's Collide - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 09-11-2006, 03:56 PM

Nogrod came back from the lavatory and took his pint from the desk, nodding to Wilva.

"Well... I guess we are reaching an agreement here? Kath's speech made me a bit more relaxed with her - even though I think some of her arguments are not good. So that would leave Valesse to be my choice toDay. I've argued the case already and think that Botromir has some good points on her as well.

But however we succeed toDay, I really suggest the village should look at Volo a bit more closely tomorrow to see whether this increase in knowledge is real or only an impression (that it is at least on my side right now)."

Nogrod draught what was left of his pint.

++ Valesse

He turned to Maca and said to him. "I agree with you about the innocence stuff between Gil and Valesse, but Gil looks more confused than guilty. Those would have been overtly bold moves from a wolf, I mean, the things he said and did toDay. Not like people from his family would do. So there is suspicion here at the first place. Hopefully we get it right this time."

EDIT: X-talked with Valesse

Valesse · 09-11-2006, 04:01 PM

Valesse reached inside of the inn one last time and fritted the last of the apple cider. Pleased, she stood tall and considered her life very... fruitful.

Glirdan · 09-11-2006, 04:01 PM

Everyone please stop voting. There is a tie. In this case, the one who got to that number first will die. In this case, it is Valesse. I shall have the death up shortly.

Edit - My bad, no tie.

Glirdan · 09-11-2006, 04:13 PM

The villagers gathered at the end of the Day once more to cast their votes for whom they wanted to lynch. Finally, once Wilwa gathered all the votes, she tallied them.

"And the votes stand thus:

Nogrod - 1
Kath - 2
Macalaure - 1
Gil - 2
Valesse - 3
Boromir - 1

This means that Valesse is the one to be lynched."

The villagers turned and looked up at the Ent. "Hmmm...How do you kill a tree?" Boromir said thoughtfully.

"Well, we could always chop her to bits," Sleepy suggested, pulling out his sword at the same time.

"No, that would take to long," Naria said.

"How about we drown her?" Kath said savagely.

"She can just get up out of the water again!" Lommy cried.

"I know! We can burn her!" Volo suddenly shouted.

"Are you all done talking about me?" Valesse growled. For while they were debating, she had treansformed into a giant Wolf. With that, she lunged forward. But Nogrod was quicker. While everyone was talking, he had lit a match. And just as she lunged forward, he threw the match at her. The fire started to lick it's way up. Valesse was howling in pain. Finally, the fire died. All the was left of Valesse was ashes.

"Well, this makes my job easier," Boromir smirked as he walked away with the rest of the village.

Glirdan · 09-12-2006, 03:06 PM

The sun rose and dawned on the village. Everyone woke up feeling quite happy and quite relaxed. After their kill of the Wolf Valesse the Day before, they were sure that it wouldn't be much longer before they found the final Wolf.

However, their spirits fell as they congregated in the village square. Everytime that they've gathered in the morning they found that there was one person missing.

So when they counted, they were surprised that there were still nine of them. So they counted again, and again...and again.....and again....

Yet they still came to the same number.

"So, does this mean that-"

"-the Ranger succeded? Yes, yes it does."

And their spirits rose higher than they have been in a few Days. And everything looked much brighter in their eyes. Everyone, that is except one, who scowled inside and put up a pretense of joy. His attack had failed.

Please do not post until 6pm Eastern Time. I posted this up early as I knew I wouldn't have a chance then. Thanks and good luck.

Nogrod · 09-12-2006, 04:30 PM

“We’re doing more than fine!” Nogrod was still a bit high after his night trip he had had with his pills and had to make a fifth recount of the heads present. “I could guess there are a couple of guys this wolf is not wishing to play any more with... but due to our ranger fella’, now s/he is forced to continue playing, at least for one Day. So to the bussiness, I say. Let’s get the beast toDay, before it can implement it’s scheme. Honours man, I and I sees it!”

He took his pipe, filled it carefully and lighted it. After taking the first puffs and blowing some semi-succesful rings from them he turned to face the others.

“Now one thing I started to wonder just between my trips last night, brothers and sisters. How come that wolf-Val’ didn’t vote for Gil? That would have saved her! Well, what can you wait from trees as it comes to logic, but still... That kinda’ baffles me mates. There is no sense there. She might have been stunned by the excitement or tension, to be sure – or had too little time to check the situation. Sure man. Possible that is: my lorebooks and the experience of my fallen forefathers have told me that it might be tense, even so as to dim the better judgement. But still? Wouldn’t any sane wolf check the situation? A vote for Gil would’ve done the trick!” Nogrod made a pause and inhaled the smoke concentratedly.

“But if voting for Gil – and thence killing him - would have felt quite basically wrong to her? If he was her last mate? Think of it. She was under a heavy pressure with some pretty good arguments – and she was scared as lycantrophes are under well made accusations they know are true. Then she saw that the one other candidate to kill besides herself was her mate. So killing the mate now would lead to her being the only last wolf and very possibly killed toDay. I quess at least I – or Boro either – wouldn’t have given up on our suspicion on her toDay in the case of a possible Gil-wolf being killed yesterDay. Probably we might have gained others to join with more time to make the arguments even more sound – and herself fearing of making one mistake more for us to take hold of... So as a wolfie, she decided to make a suicide, or at least not to reveal her connection to Gil who then might get out from this?”

Nogrod was still just for a while to get a new load of smoke into his body before he went on.

“So if she had a choice between the Scylla and the Kharybdis? She knew that killin’ Gil yesterDay by her own vote would lead to her lonely struggle toDay against all the odds. So she decided to die bravely and leave Gil unsuspected so that her side would still have a chance to win?”

With that Nogrod started towards the bar, but as he had taken quite a lot of stuff during the night and more just recently, he erred on the direction and went into Volo’s bar instead of Wilwa’s. Slowly he managed to stagger to the large armchair in Volo’s bar just beside the fireplace. Then he passed out.

Gil-Galad · 09-12-2006, 06:05 PM

"right... i shall state again though nobody even pays attention to me and calls me useless, we must look around the box, if go saying a big lengthy description, people will be thinking 'wow, thats so long it must be true' when i go around and say my little tidbits, you people bring me into the picture for lack of post, well what i have to say, i say it in simple terms. now you may or may not even read what i said, but please don't call me useless, if you object to my theories or statements, then say 'well gil, if you say that then blah blah etc.' don't just ignroe me as always and that i'm more worthy to be cannon-fodder, if yo uall vote for me then its not a loss, but it is, because it gives the real wolf another chance to strike, and if the wolf was smart, he/she would know that to keep me alive would mean to use me as a scapegoat, so if you vote for me then you are helping the wolf's plans, though eventually he/she will be captured, it will cost us quite a bit. and that is my defense and if you say that i brought little to my defense then yo uclearly ignored me again and did not read this, now i am going to have some crapes and i'm not sharing!"

Thinlómien · 09-12-2006, 11:09 PM

Thinlómien followed Nogrod to Volo's inn after hesitating a bit. She gestured Wilwa to join the company.

Thinlómien couldn't help smiling. The village was doing very well. "Nogrod, Boromir. If you are wolves, you are so cunning ones that I wouldn't mind losing the game to you." She curtseyed. "Both playing a part in lynching a wolf, again."

"Now, master Gil, you don't do much good for your cause by this statement:

We don't suffer much if one innocent more dies; we are in a better position than the sole wolf. If we however lynched you, and you were his/her scapegoat, s/he loses one and must find a new one. Besides, the theory's a bit hm... unconvincing. I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you'd be a probable wolf kill anyways."

"Volo, might I have an applejuice, please?" Thinlómien asked, taking a more comfortable position on the chair.

"Now, this Gil here certainly is one I'm interested to lynch. When he posts, he mostly gives quite suspicious statements. He's very silent and - I'm sorry to say - not a great asset to the village since he doesn't contribute very much to the discussion."
