Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIII: Enter Shamville - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A confusing and bitter day was ending. There were now two wolves against two villagers, but the lycans hadn't moved even a claw in order to claim their victory. After a voting, Lalaith and tar-ancalime had been chosen for the day's lynchees.

"Which one goes first?" the ever-reducing lot inquired.

"This is insane", Lalaith protested, "Wolves should not have a franchise."

"Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? Did you see her repressing me? You saw her, didn't you?" tar-ancalime gloated.

"I have a suggestion", Eonwe smiled. "Let's not lynch Lalaith and tar. Let's kill Lalaith and Ang."

"Sounds good", tar-ancalime nodded. "It was fun to watch you two struggling, though."

"Yes, we thought it would be a nice jesture to let you think you could still survive", Eonwe added.

"A jester never dies! No living man can kill me!" Anguirel bragged but not very convincingly.

"But no living man am I! You look upon a wolf!" Eonwe and tar-ancalime looked at each other and laughed hysterically. Their bodies trembled with laughter that changed into spine-chilling howling. Tar-ancalime bared her teeth which grew sharp and long and thick grey fur appeared to cover Eonwe's skin. Eonwe leaped on Anguirel and plunged his teeth into the jester's neck. Another horrendous wolf stood up and tensed up her muscles preparing to attack.

Lalaith had only a short dagger against the vigorous wolf and although she fought bravely, the wolf was quicker and tar-ancalime closed her jaw around Lalaith's wrist and tore it off with a sickening crunch.

"Now give up, worthy adversary", tar-ancalime panted.

"'Tis but a scratch", Lalaith belittled.

Grimacing furiously tar-ancalime brought Lalaith to the ground and the wolves rent her heart out. After a little feast the lycans walked away satisfied and extremely pleased with themselves.

A somewhat nearsighted fox passing through Shamville on business of his own stopped several minutes and sniffed. "Villagers!" he thought. "Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a villager sleeping out of doors in the middle of a square. Two of them! There's something mighty queer behind this." He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.

WOLVES WIN!

What a wonderful study in how to throw away a dead cert victory ...

Well done, tar-ancalime. You managed to convince the Villagers of your innocence just long enough to snatch a most unlikely victory. Although you were aided and abetted unwillingly by the most foolish of fools (

), that does not detract from the sheer length of time that you managed to survive under the most intense examination.

Congrats to the Wolves and well done, spawn, for an excellently modded and most enjoyable to watch game.

And I can sense another lmp rant materialising on the horizon ...

Perhaps we should change the name of the role of Cobbler to Jester

I must say it has been a real joy following this game, nothing was missing, it had it all. The kind of game I really want to be in. *kicking my self for not signing up*

The wolfs had me completely fooled, great job !

Allthough the villagers did not win most of you played a good game.

wilwarin538 · 11-20-2005, 07:56 AM

Wow, that was interesting. Congrats wolves!

Well I had fun, it was a great game, nicely done Spawn!

Celuien · 11-20-2005, 07:27 AM

Ah, it was a most enjoyable game. Thanks to everyone and congrats to the wolves.

But, why, oh why, Ang, did you have to do that?

My picks were

Night 1: Ang
This was an almost random choice from the villagers I thought were most likely innocent. Almost, I say, because I knew that Ang was itching for me to be a wolf, so if he lead a charge against me on day 2, I wanted the satisfaction of rubbing in that I'd guarded him.
Night 2: lmp
This was a hard choice for me. For most of the night I was debating guarding lmp or Firefoot. I finally decided on lmp on the basis of the Seer debate, just in case the wolves chose to attack on the chance that he was a Seer in the open.
Night 3: wilwa
An obvious choice, though I wish I had been guarded by someone that night.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone happen to spot my anagrams?
