Tol-in-Gaurhoth LIV: The Council of Evil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Btw Ilya, if that's a vote, it doesn't count unless it's on a separate line...at least that's the typical rules. But it doesn't matter because Agan has two votes and I have three, I think.

With the roles sent out late, multiple players unaware that the game had started (or thought it began with a night), and Christmas doings being attended to, I will consider all posts as within the reaches of the day phase.

Brinn to be slain soon. Description will follow soon....

Ack! For some reason I thought we started tomorrow, or I'd have checked the board. Sorry, everyone!

After some arguing and speeches, the Council chose to eliminate the Wingless Dragon Brinniel. "One can never fully trust the offspring of Glaurung," said one Councilor, "remember what he did to his orcs after he conquered Nargothrond!"
Several moved towards the dragon, not quite willing to come too close.
"At least you're not killing one of those who aid the Council," Brinniel said, "but I cannot prove my innocence."

"You're right you can't," growled Eonwe, and Brinniel snarled at him.

Two members leapt swiftly forward and smashed the scaly head. Black blood burst forth as from a fountain and Brinniel exhaled for the last time. Sticky liquid spread over the stone floor while the dying worm murmured: "Glory to Morgoth!"

...and the Council realized they had not acted for the best.

Councilors:

Aganzir
Boromir88
Eonwe
Gwathagor
Ilya
Isabellkya
Kath
Meneltarmacil
Nogrod
Sally
Shasta
Strongbow

Dead:

Brinniel (innocent)

No time for a descriptive post.

Alatar was slain in the night.

Dead:

Boro (inno)
Brinn (inno)

Alive:

Everyone else

Begin without me; I won't be here.

Strongbow · 12-25-2008, 04:55 PM

Alas.

Did the Bear choose not to kill? I am surprised.

Aganzir · 12-25-2008, 05:07 PM

Ouch.

Well at least this makes me feel quite good about Nog. I find it incredibly hard to imagine he'd kill someone he enjoys playing with that much, even to bluff.

I wonder why there was only one kill if we're supposed to have both two wolves and a bear. Hmm Izzy hasn't been online has she? Could it be she is the bear and just doesn't know the game has started? Or does just one team get a kill each night? Or was it deliberate? I assume the gifted roles are traditional and neither of them has any protecting abilities?

I think it's possible the killer/s thought Boro was the seer. It's a thing at least I considered yesterday. In addition, he was quite widely regarded as innocent. Plus he can be a dangerous player.

A narration would have been nice provided that it had given us some insight as to whether it was the bear or wolves who killed Boro, but...

How am I flip-flopping? On who? How does it look like I was indirectly trying to cast suspicion on people?

Lil' Miss Aganzir is off to sleep.
