The wolves ferociously debated through the night, throwing around several names of folk they would love to take a bite out of tonight. "Are we agreed then on this one?" asked the Alpha.

"Agreed" chimed the other two.

The three wolves snuck into the room of their intended victim. At first, they looked apprehensive, hoping there would be no one else in the room to stop their feast. The Ranger was not to be found and the wolves smirked as they closed in for the easy kill.

The Alpha approached the lump of a form underneath the covers and said "Be ready to dine on the finest meat tonight fellas." The other two waited in eager anticipation. The wolf removed the covers. But Lo! Behold! No fresh flesh was there, it was just a pile o' bones.

The wolves stood around confused and angered as their appetites were still unsatisfied. "We could just gnaw on them?" One wolf suggested "There still might be some flavor on them."

"Gnaw! Are you serious? No. We have no idea where those bones have been."

"But I'm hunnnngrryyy" whined the third.

"I'll eat you, then neither of us will be hungry if you don't quit that whining." snarled the Alpha.

Then as the wolves looked like they were about to tear into eachother, it got even darker and a bone chilling cold swept over the entire room. They turned and the door, which was previously closed, creaked open. But there was no one standing at the entrance. "There!" shouted one of the wolves pointing at the floor. It was a ghoulish, dim green hand crawling! Just a hand, crawling across the floor.

The Alpha tried to smack the ghastly hand with its paw, but the hand jumped out of the way. Then a chilled wind rushed passed the wolves. "Muahahaha" laughed a villanous voice from behind. The wolves turned back to the bed, to see what was at first just a pile of bones, now into an animated form. They first slowly began backing away, but when the dark figure moved towards the pack, they bolted out the door and slammed it shut behind them.

"What was that!?" cried one of the wolves.

"Don't worry mates." sneered the Alpha. "Whatever it is, we'll get it eventually. We'll show that creature who these common folk of this town should fear the most. Come! We have work to do. Everyone should be waking soon."

But as the Alpha said that, none of the three looked too convinced. Since the dark figure within the room let out another terrible laugh that turned their blood cold. There may just be another dark power in Bree, more horrible than the wolves.

Obviously, the best course of action would be for the wolves to come forward with who they attacked last night.

I'm afraid that depends on how valuable they think the BW's "help" to them is - and if TBW wishes to eliminate the ranger in the first place (how'd you do that even if you wished for it is another question) - and that in turn depends on how well they will succeed themselves. If we get one wolf like toDay and another one is getting lots of suspicion as well they might try to turn our eyes towards the BW...

Now please, what kind of a "seer" would that make me? If there is even one reasonable wolf in the pack, they'd know better than to think me the seer. What comes to the assumption you're making through implication - that I'm the BW who tried to pose as the seer, just think of this: what would the real seer do if she noticed someone posing as the seer? What do you think? "Why bother checking that guy out who impersonates me..."

Really? So whoever the BW is s/he would do really bad trying to look like a seer as there is a real one to check that out - and to feel very uncomfortable with it. Especially when it's only the village who can get rid of her/him...

So hurray for the Night with no kill but dratted it was not a ranger-save, when we'd (well the ranger would) know something. I'm not too optimistic about the wolves' willingness to throw the BW under the bus in any near future unless we can really pressure them.

On another news... well it's too late and I'm off to bed. See you later. We have a host of things to discuss toDay.

wilwarin538 · 10-28-2010, 04:02 PM

So the wolvies went for the Barrow Wight. That's extremely lucky for us.

Now we just need to try and figure out who would have been a likely target last Night and we'll be able to narrow down our BW suspects.

I would guess it was maybe someone more quiet, a trailess kill, the first Night is really the only time to be able to do that since many people haven't posted much. But they may have spotted what they thought was a Seer hint, but that is way harder for us to figure out.

But first I need to catch up on what happened after I left yesterDay, and get some food and I should be on in the next couple of hours.

edit: x'ed with Shasta, haha, actually that's not a completely awful idea. If one of the wolves is in great danger of being lynched, like where it's obvious they will definitely be the one to go, they may as well say who the BW is, that way they can help us kill him (which would also help their surviving mates since the BW is a threat to them too). They will have nothing to lose at that point, and they'll be able to still help their team even though they're dead (since the wolves can't kill the BW on their own, they need our help to do that).

I am shocked, appalled, and hurt at the attitude towards my ideas that this comment implies.

But in any case, moving on, starting with Assumption #1 - the wolves went after someone they thought was the Seer. Honestly, the first person to jump out at me in this manner is Nog, who was quite explicit in this post right at DL -

I'm also worried about wilwa. She voted for Glirdy too easily.

Pitch is nicely saving wilwa (I've had a bad feeling about him all the Day - he's reasonable, but then again like a cheetah looking for a victim to jump upon).

Those two being wolves and not knowing of the cobbler would just make sense.

Aganzir is a baddie. Which type? A cobbler, of course.

As an interesting aside, this would also point at one or more of Greenie, Pitch, Wilwa, and Agan as wolves. Agan is probably the most likely of this bunch, considering that Nog was most specific about her. How likely it is that an Aganwolf would have gone after Nog (expecting that Nog-Seer would die, of course) knowing that his death would point to her is debatable, however.

More thoughts on Assumption 1 as I think of them. I should be back in a few hours.

Inziladun · 10-28-2010, 04:38 PM

Well, not a bad start at all. No wolf or Wight with YesterDay's lynch, but a Cobbler is the next best thing. And no kill last Night, marking two setbacks for the pack right out of the gate.

Trying to backtrack wolf-targets on Day 1 is tricky, but I guess Nog is a possibility. There was also this from him:

Hard to say, which one.

Then again, Nog voted for Agan, and it wasn't a situation where Agan was given a pass by everyone except Nog. So I'm not sure why his suspicion and vote for her would necessarily stand out from others.

x/d with Nog

Simple. Because of how explicit it was, Inzil. I believe I just said that.

And Nog, haven't there been plenty of games where ordos have posed as the Seer in order to take a hit for said Seer? I know I myself have done it at least once (and it worked

), so surely you aren't saying that the only person that would pose as the Seer besides the Seer themselves is the BW, are you?

Well, I'd say this:

++ AGANZIR

is pretty explicit as well. Why would they believe Nog over that if Agan was a wolf, especially when Nog also said:

So wilwa and Pitchie are wolves together?

If Aganwolf sees that, why should she worry about Nog being the Seer?
