In case I'm not alive tomorrow I'd just like to remind you that if one innocent votes wrong, we lose. Yes we have the retractions but they might not be enough.

And the seer and/or the ranger should probably seriously consider coming out tomorrow. The ranger not so much though.

This is going to end badly.

Aganzir · 01-10-2011, 03:58 PM

I wonder if I should retract and vote for skip... I don't really want any of the others to die.

So happy we don't have double lynches... Right Mac? Greenie?

Rikae & skip where are you?

edit: xed as you can see. Now I'm worried.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-10-2011, 04:00 PM

Don't like skip being lynched.

EDIT: okay, seems no need to... so?

Oh

Nogrod · 01-10-2011, 04:02 PM

Deadline.

You lynched Pitchwife... the cobbler.

Narration coming a bit later.

Night 5 is on, anyway...

Ea Herald – Narvinye 21, 7th age

Interestingly enough, what Melkor had foreseen did take place. Giving the Maiar the responsibility to actually kill the one they chose themselves clearly heated the debate. It was a “Day” of strong arguments and taking sides. And the lines seemed to go criss-cross, soon looking like the votes were going all around the place.

But finally it was clear it was Pitchwife who was going to be lynched.

Many of those facing death before had been brave and virtuous in front of the unthinkable doom laid before them, but Pitchwife was more like jubilant. Let’s hear the tape.

~*~

“Ha-ha! I made it! See! I made it!” Pitchie yelled and danced after Skip and Rikae gave their last votes. “It’s the happiest day of my life!”

“Has he gone completely mad?” Greenie asked Agan a bit troubled.

“What? A crab?” Legate was baffled overhearing it.

“No, a lobster, dummy.” Agan said trying to make the two quiet.

"A lob... okay, who cares." Legate muttered.

“Now I’m going to be called to the choir of the balrogs and I get to sing those awesome melodies! And hey…” Pitch looked around him, “Didn’t I have quite a nice timing, eh?”

“Okay, shut him up. I mean I’m really ready to kill him, right now.” Agan said annoyedly.

“But who should do it, and how? I’m ready to vote but I’m not too happy with these pointed and sharp objects.” Elronds daughter asked quite frankly.

“Well someone has to do the dirty work, I guess…” Macalaure said a bit disappointed and picked a giant axe from the floor.

“Rain it on me, let the skulls be splintered!” Pitchie laughed now aloud.

“Couldn’t we change the vote now, like for Ed, I’ll change mine?” Boro offered – but others had learned to not listen to him anymore after he had shown clear signs of becoming crazy during the Day as well.

“Shut up, very helpful indeed…” Greenie hissed to him.

“Are you mad everyone?” Skip burst and took a javelin from the flor, hurling it towards Pitch.

“Let’s finish this tomfoolery!” Rikae yelled and thrusted a long-sword into Pitchie’s stomach.

“Like you say…” Mac added and hammered the axe through Pitchie’s skull.

“I’m soo happy… I feel fine… Hey, I’m not dead… no I think I am…” Pitch had fallen on the floor and was now lying in a pool of his own blood.

“Do you think he went somewhere?” Mänwe asked quietly as the silence fell.

“I think he’s still here… well, there.” Shasta said pointing to the dead corpse.

“So what was it, what he was?” Nessa asked from behind the wall of onlookers.

“He was the cobbler, look at the darkness of the blood he has bled…” wilwa said in a bitter tone.

It was only now they were sure of it. Pitchwife was indeed the blood of the cobbler.

It is Night 5. The sleep is overcoming you...

Macalaure · 01-10-2011, 03:58 PM

Shasta voting Skip is the tie-breaker between Skip and Pitch for me.
