Welcome to Tol-in-Gauroth XI 'Fall of the Fall' - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-06-2005, 05:50 PM

Phew! All a bit of a scramble at the end there! I wish that I had returned earlier. And I wish in a way that we had lynched wilwarin because, either way, I think that it would have helped us in identifying the remaining Wolf or Wolves. Now the Wolves get to see my reasoning and have the opportunity to adjust their plans accordingly.

I think it quite likely that I shall die to-Night, being probably the most innocent looking one around here and (I hope) a pain in the Wolves’ furry necks. So I shall set out my thoughts on all the remaining villagers now, while I still can.

Boromir88: Early vote for mormegil, before we had much of a chance for discussion got me concerned about him again to-Day (having all but discounted him earlier). He still gets credit for having spotted the Seer’s message (although it remains uncertain whether he did so or not before the Cursed was taken) and for helping to nail Eomer-Wolf. If wilwarin is guilty, he could be the final Wolf. Do not discount him. He’s a shrewd one and would be more than capable of winning the game as a lone Wolf.

Wilwarin: I still strongly suspect her, for the reasons that I have given and that have been given by others. I suggest that, subject to any unexpected developments, she is lynched to-Morrow. The reasoning that I outlined above, with regard to Formendacil and arcticstorm will apply. If she’s innocent, one is most likely a Wolf, and quite possibly both. If not, they can probably (although not definitively) be trusted.

Formendacil: His fate now seems to me to be tied to that of wilwarin - see above. If he is a Wolf, Eomer’s responses to his early vote on Day 1 take on a fresh angle.

Mormegil: We will soon find out. I am grateful to you for having declared me cleared of all suspicion, but I am fearful that it may be a final message to your Wolf buddies advising them to take me out to-Night. If, on the other hand, you are the Hunter, I salute you for you will not have died in vain.

Abercrombie: If morm’s a Wolf, she’s the Hunter. If morm’s the Hunter, she dies.

Arctistorm: Same applies as with regard to Formendacil, although Formen was the most zealous of wilwa’s prosecutors to-Day.

Marcolie: I had thought her a possible Wolf at the outset of to-Day. Her contributions to-Day have lessened my suspicions of her, but she cannot be discounted completely.

Azaelia: I still believe that Cailin’s comments yester-Day indicate that she most probably dreamed of Azaelia and found her to be innocent. It’s still unclear to me whether that would have been before the transformation of the Cursed that Night. Unlikely to be a Wolf, but cannot be discounted completely either, since I may have read Cailin’s comments wrongly (or she may have transformed subsequent to Cailin dreaming about her).

Alcarillo: Who knows? I only wish that he would contribute more.

SpM: Probably Wolf-food tonight. They may leave me alone if they want to try to set me up to-Morrow, but there are more suspicious people round here than me right now, so probably not.

Cheerio!

PS (edit): If either or both of mormegil and wilwarin are Wolves, it would speak in Alcarillo's favour as they targetted him yester-Day as the alternative lynchee to Eomer.

Assuming nothing unexpected happens to prevent the lynching of wilwarin again, the only that might have been different is which of these two was lynched, and even that probably not so. Because of this I didn't think it'd be worth lynching wilwarin today. However if anyone could argue we should, because I see the point I'd half agree, it'd be SpM, too bad he didn't come in earlier.

However what is done is done. Hopefully we choose a wolf and not our hunter, though either way we'll at least be down one wolf.

Holbytlass · 10-06-2005, 07:13 PM

A soft early snow fell upon the land blanketing it in sparkles that bedazzled the eyes. Not much to do, the villagers gathered in the warmth of the Inn but not in the warmth of the company.

Morning was spent in greatfulness to Cailin the seer for her work in weeding out one of the beasts, with the cost of her own life. Songs of praise were sang. Attentions were also turned in analizing her words, for knowledge about a few more of villagers.

Talk turned to who the accomplices might be. One stood up straight and tall, "I am the hunter.", he proclaimed.

Another rose up fair and firm,"Thou speakest false, wolf, I am the hunter."

Silence ensued at the two proclaimers. One definitely lied, but which? And it was safe to assume that one truly was the hunter and one would be a wolf, for an ordinary person wouldn't dream of confusing the issue on purpose.

More talk, more deceit, and more votes. Mormegil-blacksmith specializing in weaponry was to be executed for his part in the nightly killings of innocents and his shameful attempt to desicrate the honorable position of hunter.

Most of the villagers praised Abercrombieof Rohan-anchoress for her bravery and fortitude in coming forth in righteousness to demask another wolf.
So they agreed that she should have the honor of taking him down.

The hunter and the false hunter, followed by the rest of the villagers, went outside faced each other and drew their weapons. One had a long sword and one had a double-bladed battle axe.

After the mandatory bow, they locked weapons in a fierce battle to the death: for life, for the dead, for the village.
Working their weapons, blocking, thrusting, swinging, they hit power for power. Rings of clashing metals, sweat dripping, up and down they tried to over power the other.

With a surge of adrenaline, and a cry, "Aure entuluva!!, the true hunter extended their arm slicing through the head of their opponent, the swing was so mighty it came full circle and sliced off the head of its beloved owner.

The villagers had watched, mesmerized by the prowess of the small fair-haired maiden fighting for them all against an equally masterful blacksmith. A battle that seemed to last forever but came to an ubrupt end when the blacksmith removed the anchoress' head and his own.

In that instant, they both showed their true colors, Mormegil- a faint etheral glow that transcends time and Abercrombie- a faint evil glint in the eye and a furry face.

"That certainly explains her strength," one commented, "And isn't Morm known to be the best hunter in these parts? His larder is always full of meat. How did we miss that?"

Though the villagers felt guilty about their grave mistake, they bore him in honor also, for his sacrifice in taking down a wolf despite all the harsh words and accusations toward him.

After many hours of celebrating the true hunter's victory, the two remaining wolves snuck out without notice to do a bit of planning for a 'celebration' of their own. They were grateful for the sacrifice of their own wolf for having befuddled the villagers and getting the hunter out of the picture. But now it was time to exact revenge in a most diabolical way imaginable.....

The villagers all lined up in the morning for the head count, another shock, they were all there.

Then a gut-wrenching yell came from one of them. The one was doubled over wrything in pain. The others rushed over and laid the one on their back. A horrible sight played before them, a bubbly, foamy liquid burned its way out of the stomach. With a final yell, the villager was dead.

The rest ran to the one's cabin, on a thorough search, it was finally found, a jug of the finest home-brewed "Mornin' Mash" on the breakfast table with acidic poison in it.

Its early, but I am not going to go a day without voting, and I am not going to be around at all tomarrow, and until I vote I'll be distracted from the homework thats due at Midnight today. So without further ado, the extremely early vote for

++Wilwarin

oh and a request to the wolves PLEASE eat me. I need to get out of the game, I have finals starting Tuesday as well as other work and need out so that I actually do my work.

Formendacil · 10-07-2005, 09:05 PM

And so, Saucepan Man is dead... And with his and Mormegil's close-related deaths, the village loses two of it's most vocal remaining villagers...

Two wolves down, and two wolves left... And Marcolie has already voted that Wilwarin be executed.

And, truth be told, I still think her guilty. But we must remember that there are TWO Werewolves at large. Who is this other, this fourth wolf? It's all very well to vote off Wilwa ASAP, but we ought to give thought to this fourth...

And right now, I think it to be one the three "A" names on our list: Azaelia, Alcarillo, or Arcticstorm. Boromir and Marcolie, while not entirely exonerated in my mind, are a good deal less suspicious. Boromir COULD, however, be one of the guilty party. He did, after all, open early yesterday with a vote against Mormegil, and if he was a wolf, he would have known AoR was not the Hunter, but one of his nefarious kin... Still, I don't harbour strong suspicions of Boro.

And my suspicions are the 3 "A"s, but it's mainly because the three of them have been keeping a rather low profile lately. It's really more of a suspicion based on omission than a suspicion based on evidence.

Which basically means that, other than Wilwa, I am hesitant to condemn anybody.

Boromir88 · 10-07-2005, 09:54 PM

I will say mormegil was right about one thing, I'm going to be eating my words, and do I sure feel like an idiot. Anyway, I'll be back, this death is rather a surprising one.

I'm glad I denied Abercrombie from a deprogramming one time, since she didn't have enough money for it. I would have been wolf-food for sure then.
