The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!

It's a shame that you weren't here earlier, Formendacil. We might have spared Perky and caught the she-Wolf Azaelia.

It was a grim day and the sky reflected the grey in everyone's heart. After retrieving Shelob's remains, some helped the cemetary keeper dig holes, others helped prepare and dress the bodies for their eternal sleep.

There were befitting obituraries and lifelike sketches of the deceased in the newspaper. The tradesmen worked hard on the tombstones made of finely grained woods and metals interlaced with silver.

The funeral was held at mid-morn, under the angry sky. The villagers passed by the dead saying their final goodbyes and placing in each open casket a small token or trinket of importance, while a sweet soprano voice sang lyrics of haunting beauty of life and loss.

Spiritual and psyche councel were available, but everyone wanted to get the ghastly deed done, another had to die.

Again much speech and again votes tallyed. When The Perky Ent- pipeweed salesman's hit highest, the men came to hog-tie him as well.

"There is no need." said Perky, with his right hand raised palm forward.
"I have always been in service to this village and you have my word that I will not run."

They followed him outside, where he knelt down by the tree, unsheathing his sword. The villagers watched in awe as his countenance grew fair and determined. Perky sang in a language known only to a few elite.

"I hope this will bring the much needed knowledge to help you all, I make my final sacrifice. I lived by the sword and honorably die by the sword." With these final words The Perky Ent-Ranger of the North, plunged his sword through his torso.

After the Ranger's ultimate sacrifice, the men solemnly bore him on their shoulders back into the Inn with the women trailing behind wailing and gnashing of teeth.

They laid Perky on the bar of the tavern hall. Then began a night of celebration, opening many barrels and smoking many pipes in his honor and the others' memory. Music and dance filled the hall along with cheers.

Hours later the tavern hall was thick with smoke and the fevered pitch still high. One foolishly stepped outside alone for a bit of fresh air. Trying to gaze through the cloud filled sky for a glimpse of the stars, the one didn't notice until too late the three wolves sprinting towards themself.

One of the wolves leapt up and caught the villager by the throat dragging, with the help of the other two, the one deeper into the woods....

The villagers finally woke up, their heads as hazy as the hall and suffering massive hangovers. All lined up for the morbid and mandatory head count.

Instant sober for they were all of them there.

I'm going to quote myself here. Oh crap.

Looks like we now have 4 woles to worry about.

I would just like to say that I'm sorry for my very large part in Perky's lynching. I was so sure about him and was terribly wrong. Now I can't help but think that it's my fault he is gone.

I'm going to think a little harder about who I suspect and come up with some better reasons.

I can't do that now, but I will tomorrow.

Oh my, our wolves have caught thee curs-ed. I wonder if anyone else here happens to be a deprogrammer? I'm beginning to feel I need an unbrainwashing!

If we don't catch a wolf tonight, our situation becomes dire. With no Ranger, and if the hunter doesn't happen to pick a wolf we could be down 6-4 going into the next day. I'm curious to see who this newly acquired person is, but let's focus on a wolf tonight.

My suspects:

1) Arcticstorm- he tops my list today, as you will see in a post (probably tomorrow but maybe later tonight) arctic had no suspicion of Perky, even as went as far as saying he believed Perky probably wasn't a wolf, but still ended up voting for him.

2) Sauce- Same reasons as yesterday. Don't trust him, and trust him even less now that he voted for Perky and tries to turn suspicion towards me.

3) Alcarillo- Doesn't say much. Voted for Gil and Perky, not a very good track-record.

Just an idea but how about we lynch who ever we think the Wolves might have chosen last night? I know we can't really know that since we don't know who the wolves are, but its just an idea.

You know everyone has a 50/50 chance of voting for a wolf. Just thought that was kinda strange.
