WW XXIIX - Queer Lodgings

[Anguirel]

Pretty taciturn lot, aren't ye? Pshah. Lurking and holding your peace does not make you wise, my good Dwarves.

I have forgotten whether the Twins amongst you are out for yourselves or working with us. If you be traitors 'gainst your lord and your company - which I seem to recall you are - remember that the wolves are a greater threat to you than we are, for the knowledge is in their hands.

Hrrrm. I have much planning to do, and also intend to check the laws that govern us in this house.

When I have come to a decision, I will order you, as my vassals, to lynch whoever I wish. I am confident you will obey me, loyal kinsmen.

The King Under The Mountain will come into his own.

[Kath]

From what I've heard the Twins are traitors, looking to their own survival only. My ancestors have perished due to their treachery in times not so long ago.

I do feel bad for the death of those animals though. Perhaps I should have been on lookout last night rather than little Meneltarbo, though he has slipped by me before so maybe it wouldn't have done us any good.

I have little to say right now, as there is just so little to make use of yet.

Yada yada yada... no King under the mountain or over it will be ordering THIS Durin around. Read my name... Durin the deathless.... you know? that fine fellow whom you owe your allegiance to. And for that matter, all of you do, other than the old wizard, the hobbit and the big guy.

How convenient, three of them, non of them dwarves, and three werewolves. I SAY DOWN WITH THEM!!! I know no dwarf would ever do something like this.

My lord Durin, I'm sorry to break it to you but you are most certainly dead. I am the only King around here.

Hmmm. Who is our enemy again? The Necromancer. What do Necromancers do? Summon up and manipulate the dead.

I smell a rat, or rather a corpse.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I think Dori, Nori and Ori are the wolves. What Countess of Chance could resist placing the curse on the rhyming three. Certainly not I, Kili, and I'm not even a Countess! That can mean only that she was even more likely to give in to that delicious temptation — if my reasoning is valid, which it is not.

But where did logic ever get us before? We set out on a quest with 13 Dwarves. That's not logic; that's suicide!

Hence: Boromir, Rune and Durelin are the wolves. I, Kili, deem it so.

[Boromir88]

Surely you would not consider you friends for wolves? Obviously a dwarf would not have done this! That leaves the burglar, the fake wizard and the big guy. . .~Runi

I would agree with Runi. No dwarf could ever do this. Not ever.~Bofrod

How convenient, three of them, non of them dwarves, and three werewolves. I SAY DOWN WITH THEM!!! I know no dwarf would ever do something like this.~Lord Durin

Ai! Three dwarves insisting no dwarf could ever do such a thing and we look at all the 'non-dwarves.' It may be overwhelming pride but smells like at least 1 wolf behavior to me. Aye, it does.

Of our non-brothers, I'd be the first to call for the lynching of Beornomien. I've seen her rage on the battlefield, she was a demon possessed I say. And can't control herself when she transforms into a bear. But I've seen the wrath, she was even impervious to weapons! There is something evil about that man-bear berserker. Beornomien...'is that your....
...
ID-ent-TI-TY!?'

I rally behind my Lord...Thorin Anguirelshield. What has little Baggins ever done to anyone here? I'm so ashamed to be in the company of such ungrateful dwarves...I've never felt this ashamed in my life. This little Baggins has risked his neck and saved our skins more than just once. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Edit: x-posted with Eomer and Nogrod

[Durelin]

Well, if we're using logic here, I say, if Bomburlass doesn't get it tonight, she must be one of the dark creatures. She's got the most meat on her, thus a wolf could not resist.

And Dori, Nori, and I are not the only ones who rhyme, thank you. Fili, Kili, and Bali...Bili...yeah...

[Nogrod]

I kind of like this: a game opening this early. Good!

Three nice moves (Runi, myself and Lord Durin), trying to clear the view from the dwarves to non-dwarves in the very beginning. Very nice indeed. But also very much in a tone of in-character (or in-story). Easy to begin with and as such not so serious. Still a good place for a wolf to hide within, or then not. Too much in the open, I think.

Then a nice move by Dori88, making us note it and to give an air of clearheaded and quick-witted innocentness to him. That too is quite light, but a bit more serious.

Then I suggest we look also Dori88, still a light one, but a step more serious again.

With this start I would be keen to look at those not able to take off the in-story stuff early enough. I think you know my ways...

[Volo]

Voin Good ("I steal from the rich (dragons) and give to the poor (dwarves)."), or Voloin here, at last. I was picking flowers, I'll give a flower to each of you and leave myself one. Each of us can give a flower to the scariest of us and the one who gets most flowers shall be looked at closer. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

I still think that it is a mistake you, Meneltarbo, didn't take your niece, Friko, with us. Although I can't know it yet, as Friko isn't even born, but she's a good lass.

Oh, so sad... But enough of sadness. Little advice can I give, but Bofgrod says true, or so I fear, Dorimor or as you call him, Dori88 has a scary air around him. I fear his words.

Of our non-brothers, I'd be the first to call for the lynching of Beornomien. I've seen her rage on the battlefield, she was a demon possessed I say. And can't control herself when she transforms into a bear. But I've seen the wrath, she was even impervious to weapons! There is something evil about that man-bear berserker. Beornomien...'is that your....
...
ID-ent-TI-TY!?'

Is he trying to give somebody a sign here, why would he say something that way. I have seen him giving, rather misleading, but clues anyway, in a strange manner.

Or is just a joke, I think not...

...I think it's time to sleep.

Sooo, Durelori, you say this so when I do get it tonight you can claim that someone was setting you up .
While I do agree that I would be a most tender meal, I disagree that I was one of these fiends. I like my sleep too much.

But as to who would do such nasty things in the house of our most esteemed host I haven't a clue.

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Quite much accusing and defending concerning Mr. Baggins here, and yet he hasn't even dared to utter a word after the grisly waking. While waiting for other people to speak their mind, I might as well say a few things.

I wonder, what makes Dori88 advertisese his wolf list so much, and if he was soundly asleep as he was supposed to, when did he have the time to write the list in the first place? Well, you say it is wolvish to accuse our non-dwarvish companions, but you agree that Beornómien seems evil. Indeed, I've heard that wolves can turn against one another to fool the innocents, but if that's the case, we might find out when the conversation gets more lively.

As for Voloin's comment about "ID-ent-TI-TY", well, I thought Dori was implying that our host could transform into an Ent, but then again, I'm not exactly sure how that would prove that she's guilty.

'Nomen est omen', some say, but since no one's name here is simply Mr. Wolf or Ms. Lycan, I think I need more evidence for myself in this matter than Eomi here.

I have to say, though, that Orilin seems to spend more time with the porter than pondering this problem...

Some seriousness is indeed in order as the day keeps growing older. I need to go braiding my beard now, but I'll see you in ten. Hours, that is.

[Boromir88]

Hmmm...I think dwarves here are trying to overthink themselves into trouble. Aye, that's what I say.

There's nothing coded at all, just two awful attempts of seeing how creative I can be. There is a common theme of puns/parodies for pure enjoyment and creativity I'm doing in my posts. If no one can see it, there's nothing I can do. Which means no Miss Spawn, I wasn't saying Beornomien can morph into an ent. It was a bad attempt of a play off a person's infamous lines. I was considering doing a 'Deal or No Deal' gag, but that's too obvious and not creative enough.

Before I depart for a brief while, just some general comments here...Lord Durin is innocent and Miss Spawn is innocent. Congratulations, you two are not the weakest link. Good bye.

And just because of that, maybe a little too convenient? That would be a maddening joke indeed, but as all of this looks like a mad-joke anyway, I wouldn't put it past this Necromancer to make it just like that.

I do not think that we should first run at the non-dwarwes just because of their non-dwarvesness, but if one of them turns out a wolf I might wish to try another one just to make sure...
