All through the day arguments had raged and despite Holbytlass's noble attempt to lay down her life to save her, the mob would not be assuaged. The feisty former hot dog saleswoman and lingerie buyer turned bailiff was doomed.

A few of the villagers hung back but there were enough certain to make what happened inevitable and they dragged her to the gallows and put the noose about her neck.

Just before they released her the words she had used earlier in an attempt to save her skin rang out:

"So go ahead and lynch me, but you're not going even the scores with the wolves"

Her body fell there was a swift crack, Kitanna's body jerked, there were a few soft thuds and a louder "plink" as items fell from her pockets. Then nothing.

The lynch mob got closer. After last night they weren't taking any chances after last night. But it was clear she was completely dead, she had ceased to be, she had joined the choir eternal and very shortly her mortal remains would lie in a grave alongside those of Mithalwen and Oddwen (the later was not particularly large as there had not been so much left to bury alas).

On the ground were a handful of sugar plums and a scrying glass.

Kitanna had not only been innocent. She had been the seer.

Night has fallen. It lasts until 8pm tomorrow unless I hear from all necessary parties sooner .

Wolves

Hunter (please - just in case it would be helpful to know who you will take with you in the event of your death)

Wolves 4 Villagers 6.

Mithalwen · 07-07-2005, 06:56 AM

Day dawned rather earlier thatn expected in Midsomer Mawlin and the villagers awoke to a new horror. Well it was new to five of them, to four it would have been familiar and the tenth - well they had gained intimate knowledge of the horror... but they weren't going to be able to tell anyone about it.

On the village green by the gallows was a tall tank with a number of unbelievably fat piranha fish burping as they basked in relatively shallow water. On teh surface floated a homburg hat that everyone recognised as belonging to Durelin. They ran to her cottage - decorated with an interesting mixture of gallic and oriental influences - and found neau trace erv their fellow villager. The did find teaumes of arcane knowledge on lycanthropy and papers with complicated calculations.

Durelin had been trying to protect them but had been unable to protect herself.

Wolves 4 Villagers 5. Enoeuf said?

well now...this is looking like a massacre too me...

the guy who be short · 07-07-2005, 07:12 AM

And the plan is in fetters.

I shall be back to post shortly. I have very conclusive evidence against mormegil. I shall be voting for him next post, as well as giving reasoning for his guilt and defending what appears to be an accusation against me.

Firefoot · 07-07-2005, 07:24 AM

No seer, and no guardian, and only a one person advantage over the wolves. All the villagers will need to vote for the same wolf for this to work.

Having since gone through the thread again, one thing that I've noticed is that our seer Kitanna seemed quite certain that Morm was a wolf. This may be our best bet for catching a wolf.

I think that we can be quite certain as well that Holbytlass is innocent, else she would not have changed her vote to herself when an innocent was about to die.

We should also be looking at who Durelin's partner the hunter may have been. The more innocents that we can figure on, the better our chances of catching a wolf will be.
