Werewolf XLII, Mist in the Barrow Downs

[Gwathagor]

Well...I'll be the first one to say it: I got completely duped, and now I look REALLY suspicious.

[Nerwen]

At last! We got one.

...But I am in total awe of Rikae. The Seer had all but tattooed "Wolf" on her forehead– and she came this close to talking her way out of it. I'm glad I wasn't around near the deadline– that would have been horribly nerveracking.

And thanks, Little Green. R.I.P.

Edit: X'd with Gwathagor.

Well, after seeing yesterDay's events, I must say it was quite close and in any case, Rikae indeed quite succeeded in her misleading tactics. With this, I would like to point out that given our numbers, this shows how dangerous the voting may be, and since there are two wolves among us, their votes have large weight. It is of question whether there were (except for Rikae) one, two or no votes among Nerwen-voters. Personally I don't think they'd dare to vote all for Nerwen, on the other hand, given the close result of the vote, it may be possible. Anyway, after this I am inclined to think better of Nerwen, as she was the only other candidate against Rikae and Rikae herself voted her. Well, technically, there is of course the possibility of both them being wolves, but I don't think it much sure and Nerwen did not seem much suspicious to me this far. However, the same way, Rikae being a Wolf confirms my suspicions of Sally whom I now think as another Wolf, based on their seeming connection with Rikae, as it was said earlier.

And LG's death - well, personally I don't recall her posting much, did she? I am going to go through her posts to try to see if we can find what might have been the cause for her death.

EDIT: x-ed since Nerwen's second post

[Nerwen]

It's worth a try, but I imagine she was just a safe kill at that point.

I have to go now. I'm be back later in the Day. Good luck.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Okay, sorry for the delay, I'm back, we just have a new (old) President. Well, I went through LG's posts. She spoke about her suspects probably the most in her post #331:

I'm inclined to think the third one is someone who has slipped under everyone's (well, at least mine ) radar in all this discussion about Rikae. Possibly Shasta, or Noggie, or McCaber? I'll have a look at those three, as they are the ones I have least opinion of.

From these, she said McCaber might be a "stay-in-the-shadows" wolf, Shasta she mentioned as being baffled by his reasoning, but not particularly suspecting him, and Nog either playing a neat wolf or being innocent.

I am not sure whether to judge anything from it. It may be possible that there's a wolf among those she suspected, but it may as well be that she was killed to bring into spotlight those she suspected, or that she was killed simply because she was a rather quiet player and did not leave many concrete tracks. So yes, I think maybe a "safe kill" is one of the more plausible solutions... though of course, we cannot know. I would maybe like to hear other people's opinions on that.

Well....let's see here. Need to read further back, but one of the last things Greenie said was:

I suspect Rikae and maybe Nerwen are wolves and of the third I have no idea. The third is most likely someone not really looked at, someone not especially quiet maybe but someone who isn't considered at all, or not much, in the late discussion.

She also says this, which Legate mentioned as well:

My theory is that one of the wolves is hiding away and being very stealthy, and they want it to stay that way. That and if Nerwen is a wolf (which I'm pretty sure she is) she needs to get rid of anyone who is A)pretty innocent looking and B)after her in an obvious way.

So let's follow the theory that Nerwen is a wolf, which I find pretty dern plausible. Her choices are Legate, Shasta, Me, Gwath, Greenie, Cabbie, and Noggie, and from that I would find Shasta, Noggie, and Greenie the most helpful to get rid of.

Gwath and I look suspicious enough that we need to be kept around, assuming of course that we're not wolfiekinses ourselves, and Cabbie and Legate the same but to a lesser extent.

Shasta's most likely been dreamt of, so I would think that the wolfsies would kill him, but since he's not said to make himself interesting he survived.

Noggie....well I don't know why she wouldn't kill Noggie, as he's been fairly active. Maybe they're fellows, although he doesn't seem furry. Could explain the death of Greenie though, as up until now Noggie's barely even been mentioned and then Greenie brings him up as a possible suspect. Might have been the kicker between her and Shasta.

One moment. Allow Emily and I to do our double post dance. *does the dance while Emily quacks along to the music*

Okay, all done now. Just an FYI that I'll be gone for a bit, and then I'll try to (maybe) post some more before I go to work. I need to head down to visit the campus nurse and get some lunch since I didn't go to classes again today. *mumbles* If I don't post before then, it'll be about 8 hours before I return, but I'll be around. Happy posting!

Long after the others had gone to bed, Nogrod sat awake in the darkness, thinking. He absentmindedly stroked the considerable whiskers that were already growing again. The events of the past few days were troubling to be sure, and though one wolf had been caught two others lived and would surely kill again this night. How the others slept was truly beyond him. Nogrod's thoughts were broken, however, when another sleeper stirred and sat up.

"Can't sleep?" queried the newly awoken player, and Nogrod nodded.

"Me neither," said a another voice.

The two stood, started to walk away, and then motioned Nogrod to follow.

Somehow, they came to be outside. The turned to Nogrod with very serious expressions.

"We have a deal for you, Nogrod. we want you to become one of us, and replace our sister, Rikae. What do you say?"

Nogrod thought for a moment. He was half-werewolf already- why not? He nodded. As he did, he felt himself change. His fully human half melted away, and a new third werewolf stood before them.

"Good," started one of the others,"Now we have enough to take the remaining villa-"

"Hold it right there!" cried a familiar but almost forgooten voice. They all turned to see Roa standing only a few feet away. Nogrod groaned rather audibly. "Ha!" the newly returned Roa cried, "You're a werewolf and I finally caught you at it, Nogrod! It's about time!" As she said this she brought forth a dead white staff. Nogrod recognized it instantly.

"Is that what I think it is?" he asked cautiously.

"Yup, it is. I am the Evil Wizard, and you are now one of MY wolves, so come along. We have another village to take over."

"Fine," Nogrod said, "But this time, let me live a bit longer, eh?"

"Alright, alright," Roa agreed, and the two were off.


The Living:
Legate
McCaber
Gwathagor
Nerwen
Shasta


The Dead:
Roa: Eaten by werewolves, or otherwise gone missing
Farael: Killed by a convenient plot-twist
Aganzir: Squished into non-existance inside a d2
Loomy: May not be dead, but she's sure too far from the game to be of much help
Macalaure: Lynched old-fashion way
Meneltarmacil: Lost to the whims of the GM
Rikae: WOLF dead because of her cunning plan of world-domination (or at the very least, adventurer-snacking)
A Little Green: Dyed... the walls a lovely pink.
Sally: Left to nurse her heroic duck back to life.
Nogrod: Turned full wolf and taken away by the Evil Wizard Roa.

The Tally
2 wolves

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Oh, my. I must say I am quite trembling right now. And I must also say I don't have any particularly clear ideas now. I was quite convinced about Sally.

There are two Wolves around here still. But who now? I really find it hard to believe Nerwen is one, even though Sally seemed so convinced about her. But then, who else? If you are, Nerwen, then you deserve an applause, in any case. The death of Rikae in such a case, as a well-orchestrated bluff, and everything... But Nogrod was killed, and he spoke yesterDay about Nerwen positively. Would it make sense for her to kill him? I don't think so, unless it was a double-bluff counting with that we are not going to suspect her after Nogrod died. The trouble is, if she is a wolf, all the things between her and Rikae were a bluff, so such a behavior would go with the overall scheme. So, all in all, I think such reasoning is not proving anything much either way.

After I looked at McCaber yesterDay, I said I don't think it's probable that he'd be a Wolf - unless he and Nerwen are. Now what I am to think? If McCaber was lurking in the shadows all the time, well, why not. Shasta is the one I have probably the best feeling about. And then there is Gwathagor... well, it was spoken about the matter many times before: his "pre-emptiveness" and other things. If the wolves are Nerwen and Gwathagor, then they did really well in avoiding the lynch this far. Or, other possibility is that Gwathagor is a wolf and someone else with him...
There is also the question of the voting on Day 3. Unless both wolves voted for Rikae, at least one of them is Gwathagor or Shasta.

In any case, we should take care toDay with the voting, and this is no time for experiments. Also we should not vote hastily or jump at someone's bandwagon, as the wolves may place up a vote and hope to catch us upon that.

Most probably, I would vote for Nerwen or Gwathagor. I spoke about my reluctance to vote Nerwen earlier. I would like to hear other opinions first, and let's hope we reach a conclusion and get a wolf. If possible, all innocents should vote together toDay. So, I am waiting for your input, people. I am probably going to try to re-read some older posts still if I don't stumble upon anything.
