WWJ II: Welcome to Lower Tadfield. The Apocalypse has Now Begun. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, It's awfully silent. I'm surprised that people aren't up and about talking about this monstrosity. Well actually I'm not. I'm an early riser so I don't know who else knows about this awful tragedy.....

I'm going to say right now that I think Eonwe is innocent. Don't ask why, it's a complete gut feeling.

Marcolie is a little suspicious. Is it just an accident that s/he was going there to help our two friends? Or was s/he there for a more sinister reason?

As for the rest, I will have to wait and see...

Two in one night!?!?!?! Even worse, two of my dearest friends. They were the only ones who encouraged my dream of butterflydom(yes that is so a word). They would always say "You can do it Wilwa, one day you will be a butterfly".

We must find these fiends, and soon, or we could lose the whole village. But I'm afraid I have to take a nap, then tend to my studies, then I will be back to find these lycans.

Oh what a sad day indeed poor Malkatoj and AbercrombieOfRohan what a horrible end they met....
Eonwe we will sadly need your expertise in taking care of these poor dead souls, but for now l shall return and search the old school library for any tips and clues on how to recognize such evil.

Two people dead? Oh no what a horrible time for me to be in town. I shall now proably be stuck here for a while. With any luck we'll be able to resolve matters soon. I am really sorry that the village has lost two really good people.

May you rest in peace Malkatoj and AbercombieOfRohan

I hoped it would never happen in Lower Tadfield. Other places, other villages have been attacked but we have so far been spared.

Let us learn from those who have fought wolves before us. Although we do indeed face the unsettling task of weeding out the culprits, we must never forget that peace may come at the expense of the lives of some of our innocent villagers.

Today, especially, we must be strong in the face of uncertainty. I urge everyone to watch, to wait, and above all to refrain from accusing the innocent.

I feel I should point out that this will not really work. We have to speak up, or else we will never figure anything out. And about the accusing, judging reactions is a big thing. If you accuse someone, you may be able to tell a lot about them by how they respond.

Basically, let the accusations and defenses fly!

tar-ancalime · 10-18-2005, 02:50 AM

But of course, Gurthang! I said that we should refrain from accusing the innocent. But I also know that whomever I accuse is sure to be guilty, so no worries there.

*Comes back to the group with a newly sharpened and gleaming ax, among other things.*

Wow, I just recalled that I haven't used this ax since my wagon was assaulted by thieves about a year and a half ago. Not the best of memories...

But, yes, I've got some things that will help us.

First, here's a couple bottles of anti-thing tonic. Guaranteed to keep off any foul creatures of the night! Only $17.46... (note: this is a cheap mixture of 55% water, 42% alcohol and 3% sugar. Roleplay accordingly.

) Also, I've got a small sword, a rather bulky shield, and a couple of breastplates. Any bids on this fine equipment?

Oh, Glirdan, I couldn't help but overhear. I've done some calculating, and it's true that the odds are in Eonwe's favor, but you can never be completely sure about anyone. Don't make assumptions now, because once they are in your mind, it is very difficult to get them out.

One other bit of advice. Look not at those who are loud, nor at those who are quiet... our enemies will surely try to keep away from either extreme.
