Werewolf XLVI: Getting Back to Basics - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Meneltarmacil · 05-09-2008, 01:35 PM

Sorry, guys, I forgot about the deadline. I'll have a death scene posted shortly.

EDIT: Here goes:

Once again, it was time for an execution. Sally was the unlucky one, and the noose was once again tied.

"I really wish you wouldn't do this," the therapist pleaded. "I think you're all suffering from severe paranoia. If you would just calm down and..."

"Yeah, we're pretty paranoid, and it's all because of you and your furry friends," said Oddwen.

"It's time we cured this paranioa by getting rid of the cause!" shouted Legate. "Lynch the wolf!"

"No, wait! You can't do this! I'm....GACKKKKKKK...."

Sally was dead, and it was quite clear that she was a perfectly Ordinary Villager.

Alive:
Kath
Legate of Amon Lanc
Mithalwen
Nerwen
Oddwen
The Elf-warrior

Dead:
Meneltarmacil (Moderator): Crushed under falling cow by Wolves on Night 1.
Lhunardawen (Seer): Hung by villagers on Day 1.
Aganzir (Ordinary Villager): Made into shoes by Wolves on Night 2.
Gwathagor (Werewolf): Objections aside, hung by villagers on Day 2.
Volo (Ordinary Villager): Turned into a hunting trophy by Wolves on Night 3.
Nogrod (Werewolf): Killed with thrown ale barrels by villagers on Day 3.
Thinlomien (Ordinary Villager): Impaled on a hat rack by Wolves on Night 4.
satansaloser2005 (Ordinary Villager): Failed to cure the mass paranoia and hung by villagers on Day 4.

Night 5 will commence.

Nerwen was up fairly late that night, and was surprised when a big dog entered her office.

"Well, you're a pretty-looking thing," she said. "What seems to be the trouble?"

Try as she might, Nerwen couldn't figure out who this dog belonged to, and couldn't even remember seeing a dog like this anywhere...until...

"Hey, wait a minute! You're not a dog! You're a..."

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR!" The wolf pounced and devoured her. All that was left in the morning was a skeleton.

Alive:
Kath
Legate of Amon Lanc
Mithalwen
Oddwen
The Elf-warrior

Dead:
Meneltarmacil (Moderator): Crushed under falling cow by Wolves on Night 1.
Lhunardawen (Seer): Hung by villagers on Day 1.
Aganzir (Ordinary Villager): Made into shoes by Wolves on Night 2.
Gwathagor (Werewolf): Objections aside, hung by villagers on Day 2.
Volo (Ordinary Villager): Turned into a hunting trophy by Wolves on Night 3.
Nogrod (Werewolf): Killed with thrown ale barrels by villagers on Day 3.
Thinlomien (Ordinary Villager): Impaled on a hat rack by Wolves on Night 4.
satansaloser2005 (Ordinary Villager): Failed to cure the mass paranoia and hung by villagers on Day 4.
Nerwen (Ordinary Villager): Eaten by Wolves on Night 5.

Thus begins Day 5.

Kath · 05-10-2008, 01:39 PM

Well then, it sounds like the usual three wolves situation as there seems to be only one left.

I'm thinking I'm probably going to stick with Legate as my main suspect for this. I do wonder though why Nerwen was killed so I will have a look at that. Also, Oddwen pinged out at me when I read the narration, purely because she wasn't dead. I don't know why, I thought she would be.

Anyway, back later.

Oddwen · 05-10-2008, 11:48 PM

Hmm, it is beings of the quiet...

Not just that the vote was for Sally that it was random - you haven't even mentioned anyone* except Nogrod and once Legate in passing - suspicion of whom you blew off because of a bit of formal-title-related foolery.

Argh, going cross-eyed...

My thoughts:

Either Legate or EW are a Wolf

Either EW or Mith are a Cobbler

Kath, still not convinced either way. More inclined to think not.

* I'm not counting the mentions of Agan & Nerwen on Day one, mostly because that was part of another game.

Kath · 05-11-2008, 04:43 AM

This is ... scarily quiet. Why did the wolves have to kill Lommy? We could have had floods of posts with her by this time.

Anyway. A Cobbler, really? In such a small game I'm not sure that would really be viable. I mean, we have done extremely well in getting two wolves so early, but had they not been quite so boisterous it could have taken us Days to find them. To add in a Cobbler as well would be cruel I think. At any rate, the Cobbler only wins if there is a wolf left, so we get the last wolf and the Cobbler goes too.

Mith ... I can sort of see the point with her. She hasn't been quiet but she has said little of substance, focusing often on herself and not really contributing to the discussion much. I don't know what to make of her right now, and that's rare.

I hate that Legate is not here. I want him to reply to what I said yesterDay because although I'm tempted to vote for him again having read over the thread again I'm not sure I can when we've had just nothing else from him.

There's been so little from EW. I really should go back and take a look at that. Someone brought all the posts up yesterDay so I may do that.

Oddwen is still buzzing for me. The Cobbler suggestion so late in the game is only adding to it. This one is pure gut feeling, but then so is Legate really, and I can't be right on both.

Right now, I'm leaning Legate, but we shall see.

Mithalwen · 05-11-2008, 10:00 AM

Ok Oddwen, I am not a wolf. I am not a cobbler. Am befuddled innocent.

Not surprised Nerwen was killed, seemed innocent but what I can't decide is whether she was killed because she was on the right track with Elf .....

Or wheter that would be too obvious.

I have to rethink all my suspicions ... maybe I was left alive becasue I was completely on the wrong track.

I am here until the end . Hope things will be clearer. I would so much rather be in my garden onthis scorchin' afternoon.... nvm.. a wolf to catch.

Oddwen · 05-11-2008, 12:05 PM

So. Then.

I'm going to either vote EW or Legate today - and very soon.

*shrug* Just wondering - the talk about "four wolves?" seems a bit forced.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-11-2008, 12:19 PM

All right, I just arrived and had a chance to read (not too deeply) what happened yesterDay and now. I can't do much more than sum up my current feelings (however I didn't have time to reevaluate all facts, so it's really from scratch):

Mith I think rather innocent. I thought at first (at the end of Day 1), and hope I can say it now, that she's a Seer and later I thought that she's a Ranger, but it doesn't look anymore that there are any other Gifteds... but nevertheless I think her innocent.

Oddwen or Kath can be either way. Now what... Oddwen could be more like a slip-under-the-radar-wolf, her posts make her feel "slippery" to me, where Kath I would probably need to look at more closely... but that's the time.

Elf is silent as grave, although there was something from him. If he's a wolf, for such a quietness I don't think it'd be a well-deserved victory anyway.

I would maybe have something to say to what was said here, but that will need time. Maybe if I'm alive next day...

As for what someone said here, I thought originally that there were two wolves and I simply counted on that, that's all. That I also think is the thing to blame for my bad reasoning of clearing Nogrod after Gwath's death (if there were two wolves, that'd be imaginable in a less probable way).

Kath, could you please sum up your question or whatever you have for me in some easy and short way again if you wish me to answer it? I honestly am not going to look for what it was, so if you wish me to answer it, please re-ask. Or was it you about this two-wolf thing?

Also whatever you ask could add something for me to form a better picture of you, hopefully... so if you are around...

Otherwise, no idea about voting today, will have to think yet: anyone from the lower three mentioned above (nice expression) is possible.
