Later in the day...
Around dinner time, the villagers gathered in the tavern.
Firefoot and Lhuna walked in with a bowl containing some strange sort of liquid. They also were carrying a large rotten board. After everyone else had arrived, Mister Underhill staggered in carrying a large stone figure. "So, did anyone have any luck with their project?" "Well," said Firefoot, "I had some luck. Lhuna, the healer, helped me a bit. We found a book that said if you drop a hair from someone's arm in a brew of dandelion milk, apple juice, and shredded wolf's bane, and then pour it over a rotten board, words will appear on the board revealing any genetic secrets about the person you took the hair from." "Wow! That's great!" "Yeah! I say we try it- right now!" "Woah, everyone- I don't have enough ingredients to go trying it on everyone. Dandelions aren't in season right now, and I only have twelve in my store- just enough for one bowl of the stuff." "Well, if that's the case," said mormegil, "Then we need to first decide who our main suspect is and try the stuff on them to see if we should go ahead and lynch them." "Well, hold on a minute there!" cut in Boromir. "First let's find out what sort of success Formendacil and Underhill had with their projects." Formendacil slumped down in his chair. "I analyzed every toilet in town, and I couldn't find any unusual droppings. Apparently, when wolves are in their human form all of their functions are completely human." "How about you, Underhill?" asked Fea, staring at the large stone figure he had carried into the tavern. The stone was carved in the shape of a man sitting cross-legged with his hands resting in his lap. "I think making the type of watch stone that I promised earlier is a bit beyond my skill," replied Mister Underhill. "So, you don't think that there watch stone will come to life to fight wolves and yell out an alert?" questioned Enca. "No." "Then what does it do?" "Well... this is kind of embarrassing, but... whenever someone nearby says 'Werewolf'..." Suddenly the watch stone stood up and began the most ridiculous dance. Mister Underhill covered his face. Then the stone started yodeling. Everyone in the room covered their ears and began filing out of the door, but as soon as it had started, it stopped. The figure closed its mouth and sat down. "So," said the guy who be short, "Your figure there doesn't fight Wer-, umm, I mean wolves, it just sings and dances when someone says it?" "Says what?" "You know- it." "Aahh- he said the word!" cried a passing Knight Who Says Ni. "Well, it looks like Firefoot's serum is the only thing we have to work with," said Esty. "Oh well. So- who should we test it on?" Several names were said, but more people said Formendacil than any other name. "All right then, Formendacil, come over here and sit by me so I can take one of your hairs," said Lhuna. Formendacil looked none to pleased, but he complied. After Lhuna and Firefoot had taken the hair and mixed it with the brew, Lhuna grabbed the rotten board and set it on the table. Firefoot poured the contents of the bowl onto the board. "Okay- let's see if it reveals Formendacil's genetics like it said." As the astonished villagers looked on, words began to appear on the wood. "They're really faint! Can anyone make out what they say?!" "I think I can!" cried Fea, who had very sharp eyes. "It says 'If you look closely at Formendacil, you will find micro elf dna'." "What?" "I'm not elvish," said Formendacil. "Are you sure?" "Um, do I look like I have elvish blood?" asked the very homely gong farmer. "I suppose not." Everyone sighed. "So, the brew is worthless! It didn't tell us anything!" complained Boromir. "Wait!" cried Fea, "More words are appearing!" This time, everyone could read the words- "PS- he's also a wolf". "KILL HIM!!!" yelled Boromir. All of the villagers grabbed the closest heavy object they could find. Formendacil jumped onto the table and snarled at the villagers. He had been found out, but he was determined to either escape or take one of the villagers with him. His body quickly changed into its wolf form. "Touch me and your healer is dead!" growled Formendacil as he plucked Lhunardawen from her seat and held her high above his head. But the villagers did not heed his words. They rushed him from all sides, swinging chairs, knives, candlesticks, and other various items. Formendacil howled in pain as a knife pierced his foot. He kicked out at the villagers and flung Lhuna across the room. Her neck snapped as she hit the wall head first. "I'll kill you all!" yelled Formendacil as he leaped off the table onto morm and Fea, knocking them to the floor. As he raised his hands to strike them, Boromir jumped at him from behind and drove his long dagger into Formendacil's skull. The werewolf fell to the floor with a thud. "HA!" shouted Boromir, "I finally got him!! I TOLD you he was a Werewolf!" Fea and Enca hugged. TGWBS high fived Esty. Mister Underhill's watch stone danced and yodeled. Living-
Dead-
Score: Villagers- 7, Werewolves- 1 It is now night. If you post on this thread during the night I will kill you. Wolf, Seer- I need your picks by 12:30 AM EST.

During Night 4...
Sauron was in a foul mood. He knew that the villagers of Erbar Telamarth were a talented bunch, but he never expected to be down to his last wolf by the end of Day 3.
Sauron knew that this night could very well be his wolf's last chance to kill, so he wanted to make sure his wolf made as damaging a kill as possible. He had been deep in thought for the entire night, strenuously searching for the best possible target. And now, the search was over. Sauron had found his target. No wonder this village has been tough he thought. Erbar Telamarth has a Seer. Sauron stood and faced the village. He remained rooted in place, completely still, for half an hour. A distant howl suddenly interrupted the silence. Sauron lowered himself onto his throne and smiled devilishly. They don't have a Seer any more!

Day 4 Begins...
That morning, Firefoot did not show up at the tavern. Everyone knew what that meant.
Mister Underhill and the guy who be short were sent to Firefoot's cottage to see if there were any clues there to help identify the final wolf. Most of the villagers, however, figured all the two would find would be a corpse. "What did you find?!" burst out Esty as the pair entered the tavern. "It wasn't a pretty sight," said Underhill. "You can say that again," added TGWBS. "It seems that she was lying in her bed when the beast laid hold of her. Judging by the damage to her and the things around the house, I'd say that the wolf yanked her out of bed by the ankles and swung her around, bashing her head against the walls and furniture. And then it appears that the creature slashed her with its claws and beat her with its fists, though it was likely she was already dead. Last of all, the foul demon snapped her in half over its knee, stuffed her into her cupboard, and stuck knives into her eyes." Many of the villagers didn't hear the last part, as they had covered their ears halfway through the horrific report. Boromir, who had listened to the whole thing, wondered aloud, "Why was the wolf so incredibly vicious this time? Is it simply angry about losing its comrades, or did it particularly dislike Firefoot?" "I was about to ask the same thing," added mormegil. "Both reasons, most likely," answered Mister Underhill. "TGWBS and I found several interesting books and journals in Firefoot's house, and all were marked with the same symbol- an eye ringed with stars and crescent moons. The symbol was also tattooed on her back just below her neck." "Just a minute, here!" exclaimed Fea. "Are you telling us that-" "-Firefoot was a seer?!" finished Enca. Mister Underhill and the guy who be short nodded. Living-
Dead
Score: Villagers- 6, Werewolves- 1 The following villagers have informed me that their participation will be somewhat limited today- Encaitare will not be present until around 5 PM EST.

All I can say right now is that we ought to take a peek at Firefoot's most recent accusations and defenses, as they are the up-to-date Seer-speak.
Obviously she believed in Weredacil's guilt. I'm assuming that means he was one of her dreams, as he held a constant place in her suspicions through her entire life here. She also seems to have dreamt of me, mentioning Day 2 that her suspicion of me was lessening (I'm assuming she dreamt after this) and on Day 3 agreeing with morm about how I was set up. I also think that she dreamt about Esty, having defended her three days solid. I'm a bit nervous of TGWBS right now, given her two-day-straight suspicion of him. I remain nervous of Underhill, especially based on Formendacil's insistence on him. I wouldn't put it past the two to do something of that nature. I know I said I'd try to stop thinking in terms of what I'd do, but it's the first thing that springs to mind. Also, Boromir, who continuously voted Weremendacil while the rest of us weren't all that worked up about it. Why, Boromir, did you know to vote for him? Basically what I'm asking of you guys is this: Boro, Underhill, and TGWBS, please defend yourself to the village. I'm posting this now because I'm currently awake, but as far as I know, I won't be able to post again until about 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. I wanted to make sure my thoughts were available before then.

Currently the village should believe that Mister Underhill and I are innocent that leaves 5 others who are still suspect. Now we do not have any gifted left to help us out so it's left to us alone to rid us. Now we really need to kill the remaining wolf today to eliminate the risk of the cursed being attacked and also saving lives. I just found another post the would implicate Mister Underhill's innocence. Post 210 Quote:
I think I shall do a further analysis of all Firefoot had to say but not currently. Of the other five I would rank them thusly in order of suspicion Encai Feanor/TGWBS Boromir Esty One thing that I would like to hear from Boromir is what was the comment about if you die Encai will certainly die too? Please explain. Edit: cross post with Fea....Why did you forget Encai? Also I think Underhill is cleared by what I've said. It's nice to know that we can't have 2 wolves working together now though.

Alas that our Seer Firefoot was found out and killed after only a few nights of dreams! We could have used her in-sight-full help longer. It is good that a wolf, Formendacil, was lynched, though. I will go back for a thorough analysis later on, but here are my first, spontaneous thoughts.
Lhuna, poor innocent, has also died; however, since she was on several suspect lists, that does narrow the search down. Going back to my own theory, that one of the voters for Anguirel was a wolf, that means a choice between two people, since the other two are gone. I never considered Underhill particularly suspicious, and I do so even less now. He hasn't been able to participate as actively as he would like to, and I think that shows that he is not a wolf. Judging from my past experience with him as a member of the Downs administration, I would say that he would find a way, even under difficult circumstances, to do his "duty" if he had such an important, active role. That leaves Encaitare, and she is still top on my list of suspects. I must say, the arguments of those who spoke against Formendacil convinced me of his guilt, although I was chasing a different wolf. Boromir spoke against him very convincingly, voting for him all three times, and the second name he has mentioned as a suspect is Enca. Though I'm not trusting anyone 100%, the fact that he was right on Formy does make me inclined to listen to what he says. He also suggested that Fea was being set up by the wolves, a possibility I want to examine more closely as well. Seven remain, one is a wolf - unless we don't lynch her/him before a cursed villager adds to the werewolf ranks.

Firefoot... Seer?
That was completely unexpected.Here's what I thought: Boromir was the Seer. He dreamt of Formendacil on Day 1. He was kept alive incase he was the Seer, as it would incriminate Form. However, with Form's death, he would be killed so he could not name more innocents or the other wolf. Now that we know Boromir isn't the Seer... how did you know about Form? That's uncanny. And suspicious. I was quite hoping a Boro-Seer would die tonight, not out of any lycanthropic intentions, but due to the fact that we'd still have two definite innocents left - morm and Firefoot. Unfortunately, that it down to one. Once morm is dead, we enter a danger zone where lupine influence is magnified. That means we have to try our hardest to catch a wolf today, as it will only get harder once morm is dead. Innocents: mormegil the guy who be short Wolves?: Encaitare Boromir88 Feanor of the Peredhil Estelyn Telcontar Mister Underhill That's the only thing absolute in my mind right now. I'd kick myself if Esty were a wolf, but there's a tiny chance of her guilt, so I'm including her on the wolf list anyway. That leaves me four suspects. Today I shall go over all Firefoot has said. I want to find out who she dreamt of each night. Form's posts shall also be analyzed. Voting patterns will be produced as per usual. Things wont necessarily happen in that order. Quote:

DAY ONE:
Shelob - 2 (Esty 2, TGWBS 3) Eomer - 1 (Cailin 4) Boromir - 3 (Anguirel 1, Eomer 5, Feanor 14) Formendacil - 1 (Boromir 6) Mr. Underhill - 1 (Formendacil 7) Anguirel - 4 (Shelob 8, Encaitarë 12, Mister Underhill 13, Lhuna 15) Cailin - 3 (Mormegil 9, Firefoot 10, LMP 11) DAY TWO: Mr. Underhill – 2 (Lhuna 1, Formendacil 8) Lhuna – 1 (Shelob 2) Shelob – 4 (TGWBS 3, Esty 5, Firefoot 9, Encai 12) Formendacil – 1 (Boromir 4) LMP – 1 (Fea 6) Fea – 3 (Morm 7, Mr. Underhill 10, LMP 11) DAY THREE: Lhuna – 1 (TGWBS 1) Formendacil 3 – (Boromir 2, Firefoot 5, Mister Underhill 8) Fea – 1 (Formendacil 3) Boromir - 1 (Encaitare 4) Encaitare - 1 (Esty 6, mormegil 9) Mister Underhill - 1 (Feanor 7) So, to go by votes: Formendacil votes Mr U two days in a row. On the last day, Mr U votes Form, but Form does not vote Mr U. Why? I wouldn't put it past them to be a wolvish duo seeking to sow confusion. (Wow, I agree with Fea...) Yesterday, Form voted for Fea. Fea voted Mr U. Let me stop there. My brain is exploding. Formen-Underhill? Formen-Fea organising a conspiracy aganst Mr U? Formen-Boro planning Boro's apparent innocence? These are the three things most apparent to me, and I can't decide on one. Why do people suspect Enca again? Esty and her look cleanest to me. |

I still have to go through Firefoot's posts and find out what clues there are to her being a Seer. How could the wolf recognize her?
