Well, anyway. I guess we might be wiser about Lommy if we lynch Roa. Hm.

EDIT: x-ed since my last post, heijj, who is the swine?

Okay, that's horrible! After Lommy's last post, I again think better of her. I should get a rest.

I have absolutely no idea what to do about the Captain thing... bah.

Fea starting a Roa-wagon might actually point to her guilt.

I checked very quickly Roa and Rune's interactions and it looked slightly alarming until Roa voted him. I'm not convinced she'd have done that as a wolf: yes, she could pull it off, but why do it if it wasn't necessary?

She did? Well, as if it did matter - Fea could pull that off beautifully if they were fellows. I cant' really say what was funny, I don't remember (I should go back and have a look) and I don't have the time now, but I remember something caught my attention there.

At least personally, I don't think it would be any eyebrow-rising by itself. I can see an innocent Lommy doing that, only a Wolf Lommy would do the same with one more reason.

EDIT: again x-ed since my post

++lynch Fea

to give an alternative.

I can't pretend I have concrete evidence against her, but that doesn't mean I don't suspect her.

Nienna, that was the only reasonable option for me in order to prevent having a full-power Captain.

Time's up!

Stop posting.

Lommy will be the Captain (and choose a BG for herself - PM me about it).

Nerwen will be the NG.

Roa will be lynched.

And Greenie will die too...


The narration with the action and the revelation of roles will be here shortly...

Well, it makes me feel awfully unoriginal, but Roa is the best lynch candidate that I can find at the moment. Unless I have a flash of insight in the next few minutes, I voting for her.

(continued from thought process of my last post) It's not that I disagree with the points Roa's made against Legate, it's that I disagree with the case she makes out of those points. Plus her attempts to have me made Night-Guard and Captain have made me uneasy with her.

Well it looks like whatever you people do (unless someone retracts) Roa will be lynched and I will be the Captain.

DAy 3

The Rangers started up in low spirits after their aroused hope had been cut off from them so suddenly and in such an evil way. To freeze to death in this weather was just a bit too concrete for them as they made their way in the blizzard. They went on silently, pushing through the snow.

But for the first time in a few days the weather actually started settling down a bit come afternoon. The blizzard changed slowly into a snowfall and the wind eased it’s grip making the cold a bit more bearable. And with the change of weather the minds of the Rangers changed as well – and they started talking once again.

Roa and Legate were now more or less openly against each other while the others mainly listened to them from aside trying to figure out what it was all about.

Finally Roa seemed to have enough of it all and went to the fore. “I’m not a fool. And I’m not going to start any wars here so I’ll go and scout forwards. If the most influential person here has decided I’m suspicious then be it. Live with that. But I’ll vote for him to be lynched.”

With that he went and soon disappeared into the snowfall.

The others went forward with their normal speed and mainly discussed Roa’s behaviour. They all thought it rash and hasty. What had happened to that valiant and reasonable man? Maybe he was a werewolf after all? Maybe he went ahead to prepare a trap for them? They should lynch him was the general agreement even if a few disagreed.


When the night started to crawl on them they finally saw a fire in the distance. Roa had set up a fire at the Dead Man’s Hollow as they had presumed.

“So you have come to lynch me then?” Roa yelled to them from a distance. “Well I’ve picked a suitable place for it.”

The Rangers dropped their packings and draw their swords.

“C’mon Roa, give yourself up and we’ll kill you quick and painlessly!” Fea shouted.

“Don’t try anything stupid Roa! There is no way you can overpower us all!” Legate called to him.

“And if you’re an innocent you don’t want to make things worse now do you?” Greenie suggested.

“Now that’s just it! I hate conspiracies played out in front of me in bright daylight!” For a moment Roa went silent and it looked like he was grinning to the irony of the term he had used.

The others drew closer their blades ready.

“You left us, isn’t that enough? Now what’s the trap you have in mind?” Loslote yelled.

“There is no trap…” Roa said quietly “… only justice!”

With that Roa sprang towards the Rangers.

Gwath was the first to pass Roa’s path. Roa clearly tried to avoid him but Gwath gave him a blow to the side with his sword. Roa stumbled but managed to keep his balance and avoid the next swing of the sword by Fea. He was bleeding but none slower for agility. He was the old soldier here.

The others tried to encircle him but he kept evading the hits and being closed in. Legate managed a hit to his side but it didn’t seem to affect him too much.

“If you’re innocent, this is ridiculous Roa!” Greenie yelled on top of the hassle and confusion – only to realise Roa suddenly stood in front of him.

“Okay, I’m ready now you traitor!” With that Roa threw his blade into Greenie’s throat. Greenie yelled and then wheezed when the blood burst out from his throat. Loslote’s and Gwath’s swords cut Roa at the same moment.

Both Greenie and Roa fell to the snow and the blood stained the white surface beneath them. Neither changed into anything. They had both been innocents…

The Living:

Fea
Nienna

Boro (Ordinary Innocent) - left to Bree to inform others about the Company's tough fate on D2. (killed by the wolves travelling alone in the blizzard)
Valier (The Night-Traitor aka. The Cobbler) - killed by the Rangers while trying to flee on D2.
Brinn (Ordinary Innocent) – stunned, dragged through a tunnel, stripped naked and left to froze to death on N3.

Okay. I am putting my thoughts on Lommy on ice now. I need to think of that in peace. For now, I do not feel comfortable enough to vote for her, but whatever.

Let's make it this way:

++Nienna Captain
++NG Nienna

(We can do it, right? Vote for the same people for different things? Kind of a failsafe-choice. Though, I am fine with Nerwen, too, but I cast my vote for Ni now.)

EDIT: x-ed with Nienna and Lommy
