Werewolf IX: the Saga Owns You and You Know It

[Encaitare]

Despite the fact that Gil-Galad had received but three measly votes, the majority ruled and it was time to find out whether he was really a wolf or not.

"You can't do this! I'll sue you for all you're worth!" he shouted as he was forced onto the gallows.

"That's not much, pal," the villagers said wryly. The tumbleweed from DAY 1 rolled through the derelict town in agreement.

"I'm not a wolf! And since I'm not a wolf, there'll be more deaths! And then I'll sue you all in the afterlife!" he carried on. His bird squawked, proividing accentuation to each exclamation point.

"Lawyers," the villagers muttered. But Gil wouldn't shut up, as lawyers are wont to do. Finally, someone picked up a rock and chucked it at him. The others followed suit, crying "Stone him! Stone him!"

And they did. And much to the chagrin of the villagers (and the delight of the wolves), Gil-Galad was nothing more than an ordinary villager. But he did get his revenge. For as the villagers went back home in the orange light of the setting sun, three of them got a little present from Gil's bird on their shoulder.

[Encaitare]

Nine villagers gathered in the square.

Eight were the number counted by one villager, until he remembered to include himself.

Seven of them were shivering in the chill of the autumn morning, except for the two who had remembered to bring a coat.

Six eyes tried very carefully not to betray a gleam of happiness at last night’s successful killing.

Five noses were running due to the cold.

Four handkerchiefs were all they had between themselves, and no one was willing to share.

Three crows flew overhead.

Two dead leaves, the very last ones, fell from a skeletal tree.

One villager was dead, and his name was Nilpaurion Felagund.

~*~*~*~*~

Half full was the glass of water on Nilp’s table – although most of the villagers perceived it as half empty, and they had every right to do so.

The villagers realized in horror that a full third of their number was lupine.

The Shirriff’s body had been quartered, and the pieces were scattered.

One quarter was nailed to the wall of each corner of the room, and the fifth piece, the head, was in the dead center of the room.

The villagers left the house in a grim silence that enveloped them all.

It is now DAY 5. Do your stuff!

[Meneltarmacil]

More innocents dying every day, and we haven't caught a single wolf. The situation is getting really desperate now.

The wolves killed Nilp, which doesn't leave a lot of tracks to follow. However, Gil-Galad was lynched yesterDay, and a wolf may have been among those who voted for him. These would be WaynetheGoblin, Holbytlass, and wilwarin538. I really don't see anything too suspicious here, though I have expressed some doubts as to Holby's innocence before and this adds another reason to doubt her. Wayne I have pretty much taken for granted as an innocent villager just trying to stay alive, though I may be wrong there. As for Wilwa, the voting was quite close, and she happened to be the one who put in the third vote for Gil. She's a little suspicious in my mind, but not as much as others.

Kath and Shelob, once again, have tried to get me lynched, and are still at the very top of my list. Again, one of them will probably receive my vote by the end of the Day.

[Folwren]

Confound it all, ranger, why aren’t you doing your job? Of all the people left in this village, who did you think needed your protection? Who other than Nilp? Well...too late now. *ferocious look around the villager’s faces*

I am down right sorry that I wasn’t here last night. I figured that it was going to be Gil-Galad or myself that was lynched last night. It’s a sorry sight indeed when one finds that his guess is correct. I knew well that Gil-Galad was innocent, and I think that the people who voted for him new it, too. There was at least one wolf who helped hang him, and I think there were two.

My main suspects today are Wayne and Holby. Wayne for his blatant and obvious attacking on Gil for no reason other than his silence, a thing which he himself is quite guilty of, and Holby for her incessant, dumb reasoning for the people who she suspects and who she doesn’t suspect. Gil-Galad has done absolutely nothing this game to deserve a vote from any right minded villager.

There are other reasons but I have absolutely not time to explain.

I have no idea if I will be able to vote again this evening. We are having desperate computer troubles and may not even have a computer tomorrow. I will try my best, however, to not only vote, but also read what people say and say stuff myself.

Well the ranger can't protect the same person twice. The ranger probably protected Nilp the first day we knew he was the shirriff and couldn't protect him again. He/she probably tried his/her best, we can't get angry at the only gifted left who can help us.

I have to go to school now but I will come on with my suspicions later.

No vote: Nilp, Gil, Durelin, Folwren

Oh now that's interesting. Nilp and Gil we know to be innocent but I have been suspicious of Durelin and Folwren for working together. Now I am not so sure. It seems likely that at least one wolf would vote for Gil. Of course, this is based on my assumption that Menel is a wolf. If he would just die so we could see either way it would make things a lot clearer!

Speaking of Menel:

Kath and Shelob, once again, have tried to get me lynched, and are still at the very top of my list. Again, one of them will probably receive my vote by the end of the Day.

So, you will be voting for one of us, because we are voting for you. Not particularly helpful to the village, just going after us as some kind of revenge.

Still, the lack of voting from Durelin and Folwren is odd. Argh! I am having such trouble with this, everything everyone does looks suspicious in some way. I have no 'known' innocents in my head except myself, just people I can't get a feel on and those I feel could be guilty.

No idea:
WaynetheGoblin - too confusing at the start and such a sudden change from being loud to being quiet. Missing votes and having no reasons for the votes he does make. It all points to a rookie wolf but I just can't see it.

wilwarin538 - I read her posts and get nothing, I don't suspect her but I can't exonerate her because she is too, almost ambiguous.

Cailín - has steadily become louder but as a first timer (?) this could just be her confidence naturally increasing so again, nothing on her.

Holbytlass - again I can't see her as suspicious, which is exactly why I shoudl suspect her I feel.

Could be guilty:
Folwren
Shelob
Meneltarmacil
Durelin

More when I've had a chance to think.
