Once more a gruesome morning had been followed by heated discussions all over the day. Many names have been associated with faithfulness and murder, and the whole island seemed to be at odds with itself. After a long time, it looked as if Rune, Son of Bjarne, would be the one to bite the blood-soaked dust of the Holy Mountain this time.

“I don’t see how you can assume me to be a Faithful!” Rune proclaimed loudly “I am innocent. I curse the name of Eru! No Faithful would ever do that.”

This was, of course, a good evidence and the Númenoreans agreed.

“But then we need somebody else now.” explained the guy who be short.

“Brinniel is someone else!” Rune threw in quickly and pointed on her. Immediately the people started rhythmically shouting her name.

“What?” shrieked Brinniel, shocked to the bone “But you can't lynch me! I curse the name of Eru, too!”

“Yeah, right. I think I’ve heard that one before. Lynch her, I say!” answered Lalaith.

Too quick for Brinniel to fight back, Thinlómien and the Legate of Amon Lanc took her by the arms and pushed her to the ground. Ignoring her pleads, Mithalwen took an axe and without hesitation and without the grant of a last wish, she swung it down on her, and Brinniel’s head was seperated from her body.

“Rejoice, o Melkor” chanted Mithalwen “One of thy enemies has been dispatchéd!”, but her joy was untimely.

“Wait! See what lies there!” cried Nogrod.

It looked liek something else but her head has been cut off her neck. A small thing lay inside the puddle of blood. A little pendant it was.

And the pendant beared an image of the Lidless Eye. Brinniel was innocent.


Yes, there are fools even in Númenor.

Dark were the dreams in Númenor that night, and filled with sorrow and doubt. Despite their grand efforts, they had been unable to get hold of even one of the frightful Faithfuls. Visions of death and horror crept into the minds of the sleeping and they knew that, for one of them, it would become more than just a dream. Once more the Faithfuls roamed the paths of the island and gathered around one of the huts. One of them knocked at the door.

Inside, Rune, Son of Bjarne, awoke from his direful dreams to find himself in horrors much worse.

“Go away!” he shouted in fear “There are others still in other huts. Go for them first!”

“But it is none of the others that we want, at least not now. We want you!”

And with these words the door was broken and the Faithfuls entered his room.

“Then so be it. But please make it quick, at least!” Rune said in despair and he sighed, knowing that his time had come, but the Faithfuls merely laughed in quiet.

“Do you know the song which was once sung by the people of this land?” one asked him.

“What are you talking about? I told you to make it quick!” answered Rune, baffled.

“Let me sing to you first:

The father made the World for Elves and Mortals, and he gave it...”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it. I think I’ve heard that one not so long ago. Please spare me with it!”

“Would you please cease to interrupt me? I’ll make myself short:

But my heart resteth not here for ever, for here is ending, and there will be an end and the Fading, when all is counted, and all numbered at last, but yet it will not be enough, not enough.”

“So what is that supposed to mean?” asked Rune while growing impatient.

“Oh, you will not know. But those who are going to find you, they will.”

And when these words were said, one Faithful unsheathed his sword and pierced Rune’s heart with it in one fast strike.

A bright morning it was in Westernesse and the sun seemed to grace the survivors in joy. Hope sprouted anew and hearts were lifted... until the Númenoreans became aware that once again one of them was missing. With evil forebodings they went to the hut of Rune. The door was broken and a chamber of horrors waited for them inside.

There lay the dead body of Rune, Son of Bjarne – all over the room. In an amazing exhibition of pedantry, his body had been dismembered. His bones and teeth lay aligned at the foot of the bed, all muscles and veins neatly around it. His blood and other humours had been bottled and the intestines adorned the walls. On the bed, lain upon the spread skin, was his brain, eyes and stabbed heart.

Nobody spoke a word and it took a while for one of them to notice the writing upon the broken door:

~Where every fibre’s torn apart, and every bone and blood-drop counted~

I would just like to point out to tgwbs in regards to the following;

Looking back, Manwe seemed most insistent about believing Roa. As well as his very suspicious first post on it, he posts again at 227 and post 235, each time dedicating his post to the possibility of Rikae lying and coping with it.

Seeing as no-one else spotted the mistake yesterday. Those two posts you point out were me in fact me advocating strongly for the death of Roa. I was trying to get across to you that your reservations for voting Roa were incorrect, that killing Roa was the best option. Others have also stated that this was the best option.

I pointed out that there was a slight possibility that Rikae was lying. But to prove beyond all doubt whether she was or not then to do this you would have to kill Roa. You are grossly mistaken with what you say.

You seem intent on having me lynched.

I am curious as to why Hookbill has voted for me all the time, he has either voted for me of voiced his reservations about me. Is he jealous of my simple life as fisherman? Perhaps the voices he keeps hearing are getting to him..I can imagine the Faithful's continue to whisper in his ear, keep voting Manwe and others will eventually too. Though by the sounds of it this would be too unsubtle for the Faithful's.

Much like my style.

Which seems to be the focus of a number of villagers, that and my "newbie" brand that must be across my forehead the number of times its been bought up.

So I would like to ask you Hookbill, what are your reasons for voting me every time?

And I would also like to address the point that Lommy and Kath had defended me...oh by the way, Kath and Lommy, can you please stop sending me PM's about keeping calm.

And as for the point raised about me saying "Well I am here three..." it was most certainly not a typo, 100% intentional. I was meaning I was the third person to have posted. Lalaith had said, "I'm here too" I thought i'd be, well immature and say "three" as if Lal had said "I'm here two", crude I know....

Mhm, tgwbs, Hookbill, Lommy and Mith are my Faithful's.

Hookbill, because I don't like the fact his computer is down. That he would it seems has not taken the time to read the rest of the thread and keeps voting for me for the same spurious reason. That and he always needs to leave hurridly and may not have the time to come back.

tgwbs, Lommy and Mith because I think attention needs to be bought to these three more. You all say these three are suspicious but don't go so far as follow through with conviction and vote them. Well Lommy and tgwbs have been but votes have been retracted or 'reasoning' stated and therefore a vote not placed.

Edited with Mac; oh dear.
