Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[Glirdan]

Actually, I said that being silent for the last few Days and then putting an appearance now that there is only one Wolf left made you look even more suspicious than if you had stayed silent. In fact, I was thinking that it was almost too suspicious. But your mischaracterisation of my words makes me wonder.(SpM)

And that's where the fact that I'm on maybe fifteen hours of sleep in four days comes into play. I misunderstood you. However, I do stand by what I said. If I did not show, I would have been lynched. Now that I'm here, I have a chance to defend myself and hopefully stay alive.

As for me defending myself, that's one of my main objectives toDay as well as trying to find the last Wolf. I've also said that I'm only going over toDay's posts. I do not have time to go back and check over all the other posts (grrr for homework to catch up on!!).

I looked at Farael quite a bit yesterday and very nearly voted for him. I no longer believe he's guilty because he loudly and persistently accused Aiwendil. Who turned out to be a wolf. And I don't think they would have played that visible a game.

Which leaves you, SPM and Nilp appearing innocent due to their involvement in the discoveries of both Wereomer and Ai-wolf-dil.

Not regretting my vote at all here.

If Glirdan was a Wolf, I would actually have expected him to be less defensive today and trying hard instead to get someone other than himself lynched. I may be making a mistake here, but I tend to think that his defensiveness speaks more in favour of innocence than guilt.

Farael, if he is a Wolf, has played an excellent game and I will take my hat off to him. But that aggressive pursuit of Aiwendil was surely too risky for a Wolf.

Nilp, I still trust. I don't think that he would have taken the risk of putting his fellow Wolf in danger twice.

Which leaves me with Celuien. Of those who voted yesterday for Aiwendil, her behaviour looks the most suspicious to me. I felt at the time that she was rather too easily swayed by my arguments against Aiwendil. And she has been pursuing Glirdan rather too aggressively today for my liking. And so I will cross my fingers and vote:

++ CELUIEN

With Glirdan yet to vote, I suspect that this may well have sealed her fate. If I am right, all well and good. But if I am wrong, it will probably be down to you, Nilp, to choose between Glirdan and Farael. If so, I hope that you choose correctly.

[Celuien]

And so it has, I'm sure. No way is Glirdy voting for himself.

I hope you get that last wolf tomorrow. Think better of me then!

As for me, I accept my fate with quiet dignity and grace.

At least the wolf-cook didn't get to turn me into frog fricassee.

[Glirdan]

I shall have to leave shortly and I must cast my vote now.

++Celuien

After all the analyses done toDay, she looks the most suspicious. Good night and I hope this is the final one where we have to put up with a lycan.

[Farael]

I know it's meaningless but I still feel uneasy about Glirdan. Much more uneasy than soon-to-be-dead Celuien anyway. The problem here is that, should Celuien be found innocent, I'm sure this will appear pretty bad to whoever is left an innocent along with me tomorrow. Anyway, I still don't buy Glirdan's defense of himself

++Glirdan

And may Eru forgive me if I'm wrong... oh, and forgiveness from Glirdan would be goood as well =P

[Shelob]

(The village had been quiet but, then again, there had been little for them to discuss. With only 5 remaining villagers and one of them a wolf there was no longer much need for long analysis of numerous people.)

Celuien: Well, I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t just lynch Glirdan right now.
Glirdan: I can think of a reason, a very good reason, I’m not a wolf. You though, you’re looking very wolfy.
Saucepan Man: I’m afraid I have to agree with Glirdan, our amphibian’s looking a bit fishy.
Nilp: Thanks for stealing my line, but I agree. Sorry Celuien.
Farael: I’m not so sure, I rather agree with Celuien. However…

(The villagers try to catch Celuien, being an amphibian she manages to avoid them for a while, but eventually they get her cornered in the fountain. Deciding that she really has no chance Celuien gives in and allows them to bring her to the gallows.)

Celuien:So long, (turning to address her oldest friend in the village) and thanks for all the fish.

(With that the villagers lynched their resident amphibian, who happened to be one fifth of their remaining villagers, and one fourth their remaining innocents. They depart from the square knowing that there is but one day more, come what may.)
