If you are in fact the Ranger you will have died knowing that you have sealed the victory for the village. Someone has to die today and your death will definitely tell us enough information to win the game.

Of course I am the Ranger, it would make no sense for me to keep claiming it now that I have no chance of survival.

This is turning out to be a great day, I was just informed that we will not have internet for another 2 weeks.

Wow...there isn't really much else to say is there....

Except that the suspense is killing me.

Well, there's no reason now for Rune to maintain he's the Ranger if he's not... (except to screw with our heads, of course).

Deadline stop posting.

I'm sorry darlings, I just really really can't write the narration now, not the old one or the new one, because I feel so dreadful. (Don't worry, it's nothing serious, I just have a worse sort of headache and I quarreled with my mum about useless stuff...) You'll get the narrations tomorrow.

You lynched Rune, your ranger.

Night7 (if my maths is working) has now begun. Wraith, I want a pick. Hunter, you may change your pick if you want to.

They were having breakfast and starting their daily conversations when Rune, also known as Tivo the Sorceror, suddenly stood up. "One wraith left, right? It should be fairly easy... Just lynch Lhuna. I am the Ranger!"

There was a silence. Finally, Wilwarin finished eating her pancake and said: "Uhm....yeah, I still believe Lhuna." Then she took a sip from her glass of blackberry juice and took another pancake. The other did not react, just kept eating breakfast.

"I am the ranger!" Rune shouted. Had the others not heard what he had just told them?

"There's not a lot to say, is there?" King Shasta asked his wife, Nerwen. Then he glanced at the sorceror. "Good try, Rune. Now, Lady Brinniel, please pass me the fruit tray."

"Didn't you hear me?" Rune asked, suddenly drawing a huge sword he had hid in his cloak. "I am the ranger! I protect you at night! That Lhuna is a fraud!"

Brinniel put down her teacup and raised an eyebrow. "Well I suppose you might as well go down fighting; it's more fun that way, but I had figured the last baddie was probably you Rune." She took another sip from her cup. "Of course, I meant fighting metaphorically, please don't mess around with that sword." She offered an apologetic smile and the others laughed.

"But I am the ranger!" Rune shouted, swinging the sword in a demonstrative arch.

Nerwen eyed his sword. "I was actually thinking of a coin toss between you and Shasta but now... Hmm didn't those murderes have swords...? Well, that makes it simpler, doesn't it?" She smiled.

Shasta did not smile. "Nerwen doesn't really love me," he sighed.
"Aww... there, there. I was just trying to teach you a lesson, my dearest," Nerwen told him and gave him a hug.

"Hey! I AM THE RANGER!" Rune shouted, now jumping onto the table. "I AM THE RANGER!"

"Oh now he dropped the fruit tray!" Nerwen observed. "I never did trust that landlubber of a wizard!"

"I AM THE RANGER I AM THE RANGER I AM THE RANGER!" Rune shouted, but no one seemed impressed.

"I think we want to kill you anyway," Nienna said. The others nodded.

"But I am the ranger!" Rune cried. They were all looking relentless. He sighed. "Why do I bother... I am dead anyway."

"Yes, you are," Lhuna confrimed. "I think we may as well get done with it." She drew a finely crafted dagger from her belt and others started looking for their weapons too.
Nerwen shrugged. "Well, sorry, Rune, if you really are the Ranger..."

"ENOUGH!" he shouted and everybody stopped. "I will take my own life with my ranger's sword rather than be stabbed by those pitiful daggers and knives! I will only say this: by playing like I did, I have enabled my self to hand you the last wraith on a silver plate."

The others watched as he took the sword and put it against his stomach. "Fair play... I am a dead Ranger," he said, and casted himself upon the point of his blade. For a moment, he lay on their breakfast table, punctured by his own sword, cackling blood. "I am not happy... I wanted to live!" And with those words, his eyes turned around and his spirit left Middle-Earth.

"I love you, Rune," Lhuna whispered and closed his eyes.

Nienna cleared her throat and said gravely: "If you were in fact the Ranger you have died knowing that you have sealed the victory for the us. Someone had to die today and your death will definitely tell us enough information to beat the enemy."

"I don't think there's much to conclude here, except that his body did not vanish like the others," Shasta said.
"Yes, but we'd still better to check his room to find out who he really was," Brinniel agreed.

"Wow...there isn't really much else to say is there..." Wilwarin said. "Except that the suspense is killing me."

From Rune's room, they found many archaic scrolls about protection from the dark and an ancient book about sword-fighting. And then they found his diary, telling about his exchange with the two cloaked figures at Captain Nogrod's door just a few nights ago. They resolved to go to their rooms for the rest of the day and ponder what this all meant for them.
