Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXIII: Journey to Hy Brazil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Anguirel · 06-23-2006, 02:39 PM

I suspect a flurry of last minute decisions is in the offing...

Firefoot · 06-23-2006, 02:46 PM

Only 15 minutes left to go... somehow, it seems that there will be several people not voting toDay.

Durelin · 06-23-2006, 02:47 PM

Everyone should know that waiting and watching people for as long as you can until the end of the Day is the best way to go.

People tend to do the oddest things around then.

Though Day 2 is a little early for anything really spectacular, much less entertaining.

So far all I've noted is mostly just annoying...

Gurthang · 06-23-2006, 02:48 PM

I just got back. I'll try to catch up as much as possible before I vote.

It did just strike me, though. I'd really like to hear more from TGWBS. He's barely said anything, and I'm not sure any of it's very constructive.

Glirdan · 06-23-2006, 02:54 PM

Gah! Five minutes till the end of the Day and we're at a standstill...again....

Firefoot · 06-23-2006, 02:56 PM

Well, now I can at least feel safe voting the way I had been intending to... I don't think either Lhuna or Holby is a wolf and am glad I don't have to vote for either. Even if one of them seems guaranteed to be lynched, there doesn't seem any way for me to change that. I doubt Formen will pick up the necessary votes.

++Lalaith

Anguirel · 06-23-2006, 02:59 PM

So many last-minute, scantily supported votes. This will be a mystery to puzzle out next Day...I sincerely hope we've caught a wolf in Lhuna.

Cailín · 06-23-2006, 03:00 PM

Day's over now. Please stop the last-minute voting. Lhunardawen's death will be up within the next hour.

Gurthang · 06-23-2006, 02:58 PM

Decision time.

++mormegil

His early vote for Glirdan yesterday was not in itself suspicious, but the fact that he continues gunning for him today is really odd. I also noticed that he said nothing against Anguirel (well, I just skimmed quickly, but I didn't see anything.) yesterday, but suddenly came out and voted for him today. He might be the seer, but I just don't think so.

I see that Lhuna and Holby are the likeliest choices toDay. I don't really think either too suspicious, but Holby's vote just now did raise my eyebrow. I'll be looking at her tomorrow, if she survives.

Holby's vote doesn't really surprise me... even if she is an innocent. When it's yourself, a known innocent (at least to yourself) versus someone else who you only think is innocent... well...

Cailín · 06-23-2006, 03:37 PM

The day seemed to both start and end in a haze.

"I am confused," began Firefoot, observing the freshly killed Eomer of the Rohirrim.

"Well, I am not," said Glirdan. "Oh no. Must mean I am sobering up." He went in search of some rum immediately.

"It's all her fault anyway," said Formendacil childishly, pointing at Lhunardawen.

"You are all wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. It was Anguirel," said Mormegil.

"Nonsense," commented Anguirel.

"I really think it's the whale hunter," said Sir Horatio thoughtfully. "She is obviously trying to be helpful and contributive. Highly unfeminine."

"You know, I am the Seer, the Lover, a wolf, and the Hunter," said Dread Pirate Roberta quite non-comittical. "And an Ordinary Passenger too."

"I am confused," cut in Caranlondien.

Towards the end of the Day, it became clear it was going to be a race between Holbytlass and perpetually sick Lhunardawen. After a few last moments of horrible confusion, Lhunardawen was eventually picked as the guilty party.

"That seasick act is just a cover," Taliesin grunted. "Green is obviously just the natural tone of her skin."

Lhunardawen was pulled from her favourite spot near the port side railing. When Gurthang and Durelin approached her, she looked up.

"Are we there yet?" she wailed piteously.

"Not exactly," said Gurthang with an uncomfortable grin. "But you are not going any further."

"Oh good," Lhuna started to say, when she realised the horrible implication of Gurthang's statement. The passengers closed in on her threateningly, ensuring the suspected wolf could not escape.

"Dead by drowning," spoke Lhuna in a low voice. "Typical."

"Yup, rotten luck," said Taliesin, as he shoved her over the railing. After a few moments of helpless paddling, Lhuna went head down into the deep. The passengers waited until Lhunardawen surfaced again and to their great surprise, she looked calm and lovely, serene almost as she drifted there. Not in the slightest bit green or sickly looking. It seemed that although she had to die to achieve it, Lhunardawen had finally gotten her sealegs.

"I am confused," repeated Kath.

Lhunardawen had been neither evil nor not-as-innocent-as-she-appeared. She was an Ordinary Passenger.

Cailín – mod, forced to walk the plank at the end of Night1/ the beginning of Day1
Nilpaurion Felagund – ranger, lynched himself at the end of Day1
Eomer of the Rohirrim – ordinary passenger, replaced the main topmast during Night2
Lhunardawen - ordinary passenger, overcame her seasickness by force at the end of Day2.

~The living ~
Durelin -- eye-borrowing Jounin instructor
Caranlondien -- ships's bartender
Holbytlass -- whale hunter

Kath -- plotting slave
JennyHallu -- Dread Pirate Roberta
Lalaith -- Football Widow
Diamond18 -- Weslamond, the Dread Pirate Roberta's protégé
Firefoot -- wandering traveller with a dog that dislikes pirates

Gurthang -- Plank Operator
Formendacil -- Ne'er-do-well stowaway of snobbish, blue-blooded origins
Rune Son of Bjarne -- crazy slave, with an obsession for cheese
Mormegil -- the vocal nitpick who can find fault in anything
Taliesin -- criminal who was set adrift
Saucepan Man -- Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Potboiler
Sir Anguirel Spens (Anguirel)
Glirdan -- drunken porter
Friedrich Engels (the guy who be short)

Night 3 has now started. I need names from the Wolves and the Seer and possibly from the Hunter.

Cailín · 06-24-2006, 03:03 PM

The wolves killed JennyHallu (i.e. the Dread Pirate Roberta) who was the Hunter, and she took no good Formendacil with her, who was an Ordinary Passenger.

Day 3 has now started. Narration will be up later. *hic*

the guy who be short · 06-24-2006, 03:09 PM

How positively exciting!

If I were more conscious, I'd come up with a theory and astound you all with my brilliance.

Alack.

Glirdan · 06-24-2006, 03:11 PM

Major OCC - Hey! She stole my line AND my rum!!

Oh great! Another death that was actually more random than not....or is it? Isn't it true that Jenny stated yesterDay that she was the Hunter...and the Seer...and an Ordo....and a Wolf....and the Lover....ah you get the point. Anyway, is it possible the Wolves actually believed she was the Seer and decided to go after her on that assumption? Hmmm....I wonder...

Now I shall depart. Without having rum around, I'm starting to feel queasy...I'm going to go lay down...

RL (again) - I'm suddenly not feeling well and I need to go relax. I should be back later on.

Odd, I haven't been able to follow as much but our voting choices seem interesting. I think Holby more guilty than Lhuna, but perhaps I missed something today. I haven't kept caught up on the last 10 hours of stuff.
