Silmaril Serious Post and Farewell

Well, this will have to be my final serious word of the Day as the powers that sent me here are now demanding my return from the task for which I was sent back into the pub.

The powers that be are apparently bored and need to be entertained.

If Brinn isn’t a wolf, please everyone look carefully at Gwath, Sally, Izzy and Shasta. We do now have lots of stuff to go by. Do also have an eye for Lari.

If we didn’t get a wolf the Seer and Finrod also probably need to come out Tomorrow to assemble as many innocent votes in one place as possible.

Good Luck Village!

(btw, I’ve slipped up to .92 posts a day…whodathunkit)

Wow. Blink and Brinn's dead. Somehow I get the feeling of deja vu.


In other news I'd like to take a look at Lari and Nilp, not that I have time now, but I think it would be beneficial to....well, look into a couple things.

(Give me a break, I've got three minutes.)

Kuru, you will be missed. Thanks for your help toDay.


EDIT: x'd with Nilp. Your vote's not highlighted, sweetheart.

Hmmm...depends on who I actually end up helping.

But I know you all will miss me.

If what you say is true, Brinn, I won't highlight my vote . . .

Time is up. Nilp's vote is not highlighted as of 12:01, so it doesn't count.

Narrative up as soon as I can manage. No more posting.

When Kuru rejoined them at the start of the day, it was clear that he was aided by Beren. Everyone trusted the motives behind his words, but knew that he had not more information than themselves.

Nogrod dominated much of the discussion, pointing out the dangers of the "10ers", and suggesting that the Downers disarm so as to increase the odds of being on more even footing, but the idea was not widely accepted.

The votes rolled in, and Nog and Brin both came under threat. Then Kuru stepped forward, and in his final act he unleashed all of his votes upon Brin. But Brin still possessed every one of her bonus votes, and she struck back hard, blasting Nog with eleven votes. Everyone expected Nog to respond, but he seemed to freeze- reluctant perhaps to step forward and directly kill Brin with his votes. But finally he steeled himself, and prepared to vote. But it was too late.

The walls and ceiling of the room became as storm clouds, and from all sides bright streaks of lightning converged upon Nog. There was a dazzling flash, and then the great light was gone. The Downers were too blinded to see Nogrod's body hit the floor. Next to the bar, there was yet another thud. Kuruharan had left them for good.

The familiar icy voice spoke from all around. "Wrong again, I'm afraid." And darkness enveloped them.

There was no question who would be slain during the night. A Downer inhabited by one of the evil spirits awakened from sleep and crept to where Brinniel lay sprawled upon the floor. The fiend snapped the leg from a chair and grabbed Brin by the hair and pulled her to her feet. Just as the killer raised the chair leg to strike, Brin's eyes snapped open.

"No!" she screamed. "Don't! You don't know-"

But the servant of evil laughed and brought the heavy piece of wood whistling down upon Brin's head. Again and again blows smote her, and at last her attacker released her and she crashed to the floor, dead. But even as the villain stood over her smiling in triumph, a red glowing orb rose from Brinniel's breast and hovered in front of the evil one's eyes, and a voice spoke out of it.

"I came to give you aid- to help you achieve victory. Now you are on your own." The orb vanished with a burst of fire, and a large spark fell upon Brinniel's forehead. When it went out, the name "Grima" was left burned across her brow. Before the killer could express disappointment or rage, unconsciousness fell.

Not long after, the dawn came, and the Downers rose and looked upon Brinniel. Seven were filled with hope, and three with frustration.
