Yes, let's. And maybe my mummy will have left us something to eat (I never actually got lunch, blah).

Also I'm in second place but there's no way I'm catching up to Sally and her 181 posts.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-12-2009, 03:24 PM

Now now kids, sh. I got sidetracked but I will post rightaway... wait five minutes.

satansaloser2005 · 12-12-2009, 03:27 PM

But Mummy....all right.

*shushes and waits like a good girl*

Does this mean the chocolate's safe? And can I have some?

It has been a terrifying experience, but it went smoother than we have anticipated. It was our glaciologist who decided to give up his life willingly in order to get us out of the terrible place. As his blood started to trail down the holes in the altar, some unknown mechanism below us caused the stone blocks to slide away and the door had opened.

The body of our glaciologist remained motionless on top of the altar. We shuddered at the sight and at the same time wondered what kind of monstrous things must have been going on in this complex thousands of years before the end of the last glacial period.

But as we came outside, it was not the end of the drama of that day. Our sled-dog handler, who has been remarkably vocal inside the sinister chamber, suddenly leaped forward and attacked our store manager, holding the knife which we have just used before for the sacrifice of our glaciologist. He plunged the blade deep into the other man's shoulder.

Our store manager gave out a wild cry - and then he started to change. "I knew it was you!" was our sled-dog handler's shout, and he attempted to draw the blade from the monster's shoulder, yet it hit him with its clawed fist and made him fall backwards. It leapt up on him before he could rise, and its sharp fangs closed around his throat. Yet at the same time, we noticed a glimpse of iron in the lying man's hand, and then a shot from the hidden gun pierced our ears. As the echo disappeared, the bodies of the two of them lay on the ground motionless.

LIVING MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION:

The last events have brought us to the brink of total exhaustion. The light of the electric torches was dwindling and we did not feel comfortable with switching to the other set we still had with us, as these have been our last ones. Still there was this urge to go and see what happened to the escaped creature, now that we have felt at last safe. But on the other hand there was the repulsive feeling and the wish to leave forever that terrible place as soon as possible.

At last we have decided to rest - for a few minutes, in the dark to save the batteries. Then we will decide what exactly to do next. So we all sat down and leaning against the wall relaxed in the dark. I don't know how it happened, but apparently we have dozed off. It would not be surprising after all that we have been through recently. The only thing I can record with full certainity is that after I woke up, I could not find the electric torch. Among growing panic in the dark, I have realised that there are strange sounds coming from one of the passageways nearby, and flashes of light coruscating on the black graffiti-covered walls. I jumped up and in the darkness, blind, groped my way towards the source. Then, I have identified the sounds at last: it was a mixture of gasping, snarls, growls and eerie howling. Then the corridor took a sharp turn and there I saw it at last: a woman armed only with an electric torch, standing against a terrible shadow of wolf-shaped monster on the edge of a large room, a vast subterranean cavern reaching far into darkness. In the flashing light, I noticed a glitter of iron on the ground: it was a dropped gun, probably wrestled away from the woman during the fight. And as I hurled myself forwards, I could see the abomination pouncing against the woman who tried to defend herself feebly. Her dying screem resounded through the cave and then she dropped the torch and the shadow of the werewolf disappeared in the darkness.

Then there came the sound of hurrying feet. The remnants of our expedition have gathered together. We lit the remaining torch. In its light, we found ourselves standing on the edge of a large pit - and at our feet the dead body of the originator of our expedition, who died in her last fight, unprepared to defend herself. She was the one who had come up with the idea of this expedition - yet she was never acknowledged for it properly - and now her life had also ended in this dark and cold place.

Nevertheless, we have acknowledged, as we looked into each other's pale faces, that one of us is the monster who killed her.

KNEW IT.
KNEW IT.
KNEW IT.

Now lynch me.

But, to quote my infamous words: I'm not surprised. When I was reading through yesterDay (that was crazy btw), my impressions (having been informed of the results of the Day and the roles of dead already, though) were:

Nerwen or Morsul is the last wolf.
Nogrod is an ordo.
Sally is the ranger and she's going to die toNight.

But I'm glad I was right. (Maybe happiness is not the most normal way to react to the death of the ranger, but to be honest, that was my first reaction. Well anyway, it doesn't make so much difference in any case 'cos there will be no more Nights.) It's also nice to know that I was in the end right about Boro and Shasta.

Makes me more confident.

Now, off to have a look at what I said of Nerwen and Morsul earlier. And I know I can't ignore Nogrod either on a crucial Day like this but especially after yesterDay, it is very difficult for me to see him as a wolf.

I think Nerwen is my top suspect, mainly for the way in which she jumped to support Nogrod's rather absurd* "Boro is so certainly a wolf" -theory. I smells fish. But I must say that Morsul is also making quite a show of being confused, which I don't like either, not at all.

*I may be too harsh since I only read through yesterDay knowing everybody's roles, but to me, it was just crazy how confident Nog was on Boro's guilt, especially as Boro's behaviour looked more innocent than guilty to me. But I give to Nogrod that Boro's behaviour was quite weird and like nothing I've seen from him before.
