Evidently, ahem, we should, ah, start with an, ah, examination of this alleged poem.

"There once were three werewolves from Ridgecrest,
Whose party turned into a meat fest.
Another had sight,
To see truth once each night,
And a fifth thinks your doom would be best."


Well, any fool can see that the structure is a limerick, a vulgar form rarely conveying import and usually dealing with nonsense or obscenity.

Unfortunately, this would appear to be a case of obscenity, not nonsense.

Oh, this is quite ridiculous! I'm too old and wise for this sort of foolishness. Who do these tomfools think I am, Colonel Sapt?

We're all doomed, apparently, so I shall spend my last hours enjoyably, pretending to be Ptolemaius the Objectionable and casting a spell to get myself back to Dryasdust College, Camford.

Oh...my.

That interrupts my campaign for the position of #1 Canadian...

And if I hear ONE MORE PERSON tell me, "He's dead, Jim," I will...go through my mid-life crisis all over again. So don't even start. My name's not Jim! And I know they're dead.

Heh...

*crickets*

That was the evil Captain Durelin...

So, we need a plan. Personally, I say we blast these werewolves into oblivion... We just need to find out who they are...yeah...

are we sure that this has actually happened ? Could it just not be a really cool ehm life like scenario ?

I once played in one where they ripped this guys heart out, well that was what it looked like. It was actually just a pigs heart!

If not then the blasting to oblivion sounds like a good idea.

Wow. I am, at this moment, torn between unspeakable horror and professional fascination. Jenny and Foley, turned to parchment and their blood made ink? I'm half surprised their spines were not made into, well, spines.

What? You're all thinking it.

Well, I know one thing for certain, we'll need all our cleverness and weaponry to fend off these disturbingly creative beasts. Luckily, I have my enchantments -- super strong sleep potions and the like, so they can't possibly get to me. I'll just lay some supernatural whammy on them! And if even that fails, well, there's always.....

*pauses dramatically*

"Azgalthro!"

*whips out gigantic, gleaming, curved sword, as on cue, the hip-hopping beat of Crazy In Love bursts out from... somewhere...*

[sword]
Yes! so crazy right now
Most incredibly
It's your girl B
It's your boy young
History in the makin'
[/sword]

I have no idea what that means, but there you have it. Azgalthro also does gangsta, if need be.

Anyway, I'll be around.

I'm always the red-shirted Mr. Johnson that travels with Kirk, Spock, and Mccoy, on an expeditionary team and ends up dying...so I'm looking at our Mr. Shatner over there.

I understand we also have a Cobbler in this troop? That aint good news thats for sure. It's been a long time since any of my ancestors have had a Cobbler...and my notes on them are few and scarce.

Dying? Ah, "a little suffering is good for the soul, Mr. Johnson."

Interesting...you are the first person to actually throw out any accusations. I'll keep an eye on you, as well, red shirt.

"Death. Destruction. Disease. Horror..."

This place smells of it.

We must find...the source. *sniffs off*

Edit: Cross-posted with Farael. No, you are not the first...but I am flattered to be such a target of interest.

But admitted vileness does not mean wolf-dom. I would certainly know that. In my private life I have been accused, out of many things, of evicting peasants from their homes so that my game-hunting lands can be expanded. And that's just my pre-afternoon warmup.

[Aside] Wretched commoners...

Perhaps we should keep an eye on both Farael and Durelin.

*Farael sneaks up on Naria* Come on! let's start a band... you play your flute and I'll sing.
Er, umm sorry Farael but I've heard your singing the last time our group was together and I don't know if you had too much liquour or weed or both, but ummm it was awful. So I think I will just stick with listening to the hip-hop masterings of Azgalthro.

There hasn't been too much said so far. So I will go tend to my rats. I will be around...just follow the sound of my flute and you will find me.

What to do today. . .well Diamond is sertainly too intertaining to lynch today and I think I will hold back on the accusations against Farael, you know. To breake a habbit.

What to do. . .
*starts to headbang to the sound of Naria's flute*

Lets lynch Naria, otherwise I will be headbanging all day and get a headache!


Actually I am clueless. . . Maybe General Nogrod will have some sugestions when he returns? Maybe not, I hope there will have been some development before I speak again, which should be in around 9 hours. . .

*sits in a coner refusing to speak while headbanging*

Blast it. If I could only have found an ounce more hellebore...the spell would surely have gone off perfectly...

Ahem. The conventional characteristics of villains in Ruritanian ballads include a certain, ah, debonair, er, air, casualness and confidence.

Supposing some of our werewolves are villains of this sort, then the two who come to mind here are Diamond and Durelin.

I must say I thought Durelin's attempt to staunch accusations most peculiar. My dear ladies, education, or detective work, can only be brought to tuition by the Socratic method, that is, by questioning, and, ah, accusing.

I am surprised that Gurthang has yet to speak. A cowardly knight he may be, but I think we're going to need that broadsword he bought off an ironmonger...
