Werewolf Four and Thirty: Bloodbath in the Anduin Vale - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Volo, this last message makes me feel good about you and realize that you are likely innocent.

Sixth where are you???

The Sixth Wizard · 06-09-2007, 04:17 PM

I am willing to believe that there is one Alpha Wolf (was) and that we have only one baddie left. Boro's story now seems believeable, and I don't think if he was evil he could play the part so well. Well played trick, Boromir!

I dislike the way Lommy insists on attacking him, even scraping the bottom of the barrel at times. A real ranger? Pollycock.

And why would she want to provoke a reaction anyway? What she says in latter posts sounds wolvish.

I don't mind the rest of you, so:

++Thinlomien

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-09-2007, 05:14 PM

OK, let's call it a Day, eh?

Voting outcome coming soon.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-09-2007, 05:47 PM

As the Days had grown quieter, the remaining delegates had finally got round to constructing some gallows. The delegate of INSTRAW was to be the first to test them out.

“Honorable chair, fellow delegates,” said Thinlómien, as she stood to read her closing address. “Acknowledging the votes cast toDay and fully respecting the outcome of the established voting process, I would like to move on behalf of INSTRAW that the delegates present should establish a road map within which the conditions might be met for the ultimate placement of my head in the noose, while at the same time steps be taken towards drawing up a mutually acceptable document within which criteria may be laid down for the activation of the lever, whereby the trapdoor beneath my feet might then be released, thereby propelling my body in a sharp downwards motion and so bringing about the anticipated scenario within which my neck might be broken, thus ending my life and thereby fulfilling the democratically expressed will of the assembly.”

“Motion passed,” replied the delegates, as they immediately set to work.

“Um, I would like to put forward a statement on behalf of INSTRAW expressing my complete and overwhelming surprise that the criteria and conditions laid down in my closing address have been met with such undue and unusual rapidity,” declared Thinlómien as she stood on the gallows with her head in the noose. “In my long experience as a committee representative, it is rare for such … Urrrrghh!”

The criteria had been met and the conditions fulfilled whereby Thinlómien’s life could be brought to an abrupt conclusion. Her body, however, remained unchanged.

The dead:

The Saucepan Man - Slaughtered and boiled up in a spicy ghoulash on Night zero.
xyzzy - Got bored of the role-based banter and hung himself quietly on Day 1 (Ordinary Innocent)
Meneltarmacil - Fatally wounded in sooth he was and crawled awaye to find ye deathe in ye woodes on Nighte 1 (Werewolfe)
Rune Son of Bjarne - Hunted and added to his own trophy collection on Night 1 (Ordinary Innocent)
Durelin - Spied on things which should not be seen and got hung for it on Night 1 (Thief)
Kath - Burned at the stake and spurned by her Lord on Day 2 (Priestess of Sauron)
Rikae - Tickled mercilessly and died with a smile on her face on Night 2 (Oridnary Innocent)
Legate of Amon Lanc - Underwent radical optical surgery and lost his life and his foresight on Night 2 (Druid)
Isabellkya - Mometarily caught off guard by a darting fox and set upon by the angry mob on Day 3 (Werewolf)
Shastanis Althreduin - Had the life squeezed from his Half human, half equine form on Night 3 (Oridnary Innocent)
the guy who be short - Consumed and reduced to nothing but bare bones on Night 3 (Ordinary Innocent)
Feanor of the Peredhil - Brutally attacked yet lived long enough to write her bloody epitaph on Night 3 (Ordinary Innocent).
Mithalwen - Went down fighting in a dubious pastiche of British classic comedy and was summarily dismembered by a unanimous motion of the general assembly on Day 4 (Werewolf).
Aganzir - Battered, bruised and bloodied and left to die on Night 4 (Werewolf)
Thinlómien - Fulfilled the criteria and met the conditions whereby she could be hung until she be dead on Day 5 (Ordinary Innocent)

The living:

Mormegil
Gil-Galad
Volo - the very hairy delegate from as far as it gets
Nogrod - the moody delegate from the Witch-burners' village who is ready and willing to form a theory to suit his feelings whatever the facts ...
Boromir88 - the filibuster delegate from Laketown, whose geography is not that good
The Sixth Wizard

Day 5 is over. Night 5 has begun. Let the Nightly deeds commence.

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-10-2007, 04:30 PM

On Day 6, the delegates awoke to a dreadful commotion in the village square. Venturing forth from their huts, they witnessed the closing stages of a desperate battle. A great Bear was locked in mortal combat with a huge black Wolf. The Bear, his fur matted with blood, had the Wolf gripped between his powerful arms. The Wolf, battered and bruised, was struggling and howling and attempting to twist his great head round to lock his jaws onto the Bear. Eventually, just as the last of his life was being squeezed from his body, the Wolf succeeded in sinking his cruel black fangs deep into the Bear’s throat. Both beasts were mortally wounded, yet still they struggled on. Finally, exhausted and near death, both collapsed entangled in a deadly embrace. They lay there for a while, panting hoarsely, before each breathed his last and one more assumed his human form.

Boromir88 had not come from Laketown and his geography had actually been pretty good. He had been a Shapeshifter, a descendant of Beorn, and had been sent to Woodgard by Radagast to aid the delegates in their struggle against the Wolves.

Nogrod, a fierce black-fanged Werewolf, had assumed the identity of the delegate from the Witch-burner’s village, though he had nevertheless remained ready and willing to form a theory to suit his feelings whatever the facts.

Both, however, now lay dead.

Day 6 has begun and the game continues. Time to start talking again.

Volo · 06-10-2007, 04:53 PM

Thank you Boromir. And what now?

Still more Wolves? :/ I'm a bit tired of them to say the truth...

I'm pretty much Sixth Wizard as Mormegil felt sincere yesterDay. And Gil is what he is, hopefully.

But consider: We lose if even one vote is wrong!

That being the case I'm even more inclined not to vote Gil. So, friend and foe, speak up!

And I myself am retreating for now.

Volo · 06-10-2007, 04:56 PM

Ok. If Gil is Wolf and not voting or killing, we still have tomorrow to kill him. If Gil is Innocent and we vote for somebody who isn't a Wolf toDay, we lose.

Truly, goodnight.

EDIT: Xd with Morm

mormegil · 06-10-2007, 04:54 PM

So now what? I can't believe we would have another baddie but I guess that we do. Is it possible to not lynch today? If we get it wrong we are doomed I fear. The obvious candidate is Gil but with things as they are I hesitate to vote for him but if not him then who? Right now Sixth seems much more suspcious than Volo but I'm a bit at a loss for words.

Thanks for giving us a shot Boro at a win by taking out three wolves yourself.

mormegil · 06-10-2007, 05:02 PM

Volo, I see we cross posted and feel about the same again.

The Sixth Wizard · 06-10-2007, 09:39 PM

Hey, I just realised that last post can't do anything. Volo can't retract his vote and Gil won't come round. Mormegil will vote for me and we're doomed! No!

mormegil · 06-10-2007, 10:26 PM

Sixth, I assure you I am innocent. The question I have is Volo or you? It seems that Gil would be from the Nogrol post you showed but I am not sure what else to think at this stage. I must go through yours and Volo's post (Volo you posted way too much) and decide who I will vote for. I consider Volo's early vote a bit suspicous but also a bit understandable. Is he trying to win me over by making us 'friends'? I don't really know but I'm beginning not to trust my instinct this game as I've been sadly wrong most every time. My instinct tells me that Volo is innocent which means he's likely guilty.
