Shaken and disturbed after finding Zil's corpse, the cast disposed of the body in one of the bottomless pits.

"So who'd want to kill Zil?" Galadriel55 wondered.

"They were either threatened by him or wanted to make people say 'kill Zil' beacause it rhymed," Sally said.

"Somehow, I don't think rhyming was the motive here," Foley said.

"Zil suspected Bom," Boro pointed out.

"Oh, not this again," Bom said.

"He also suspected McCaber," Eomer said. "Let's kill him."

"Or we could kill Galadriel55," Shasta said.

"Or Bom, I liked that idea," Tum said.

"No, seriously," Eomer said. "Kill McCaber."

"Oh, fine," Eonwe said, picking up a rock. "McCaber it is."

McCaber looked between Eonwe and his rock and Eruhen, who'd taken a step forward threateningly, and tried to pull a Gandalf - he stepped backwards off the edge of the bottomless pit and fell. But unlike Gandalf, no Eagle came to catch and save him.

"...hey," Boro said, "that was in my script."

"Are you a murderer?" Foley yelled down after him.

"No!" McCaber called up, his voice growing fainter. "I was as ordindary as it gets for an actor of my caliber."

That night, the three actors debated who to kill listlessly. They'd agreed that they had to keep going now. Even if they'd tried to back out, the other actors would kill them the moment they found them. They had no choice but to kill again toNight. They made their choice quickly. No one really wanted to argue, and they all agreed that the sooner they got this over with, the better.

But when they arrived at the trailer, they found someone else waiting for them.

"Is that a...ski mask?" one of the murderers asked.

"You notice the ski mask first?" another said. "Instead of, say, the machete?"

"I have access to the props department," the Ranger explained.

"Yeah, yeah, got that, but...why not a sword, or a bow, or something cool?"

"I don't know how to use those."

"And you know how to use a machete?"

"I once killed a snake with one. Long story."

"And...you're not going to let us past."

"That'd kind of defeat the purpose of getting all suited up like this, wouldn't it?"

The third murderer shrugged. "You could always join us."

"Put those machete skills to good use," added the second.

"I've already got a use," the Ranger said, swinging wildly at the murderers.

"Pity," the first murderer said, walking backwards into the shadows. "This could've been a lot more fun. I suppose we'll have to kill you eventually."

The Ranger looked around. The murderers had faded into the shadows. "Wait!" he yelled suddenly, realizing that he still didn't know who they were. "Come back!"

But the only answer he got was a quiet laugh, so quiet he didn't know for sure whether or not he'd imagined it.

Day 3 has begun.

Boromir88 · 07-31-2011, 06:03 PM

That's interesting, they must have gone for the revealed Eomer (are you doing the uncloaking now!? Unkilting?

), who was thus protected. I thought the wolves would have wanted to go down more honorably as I had Shasta on my night hunt, for whatever it's worth.

Bom Tombadillo · 07-31-2011, 06:28 PM

So . . . either the wolves planned for the Ranger protecting the fake-revealing Eomer and attacked one of their own,

OR

Eomer is really the Seer and Nerwolf and Shastanis Wolfthreduin need to die,

OR

the wolves attacked somebody entirely different, who the Ranger protected. This is pretty much the least likely of the three after Eomer's reveal as Seer.

Galadriel55 · 07-31-2011, 07:34 PM

Oi! I was slow yesterday! Commenting about shouting about the Seer after a reveal!

Nice job, Ranger! Now, however true or false the reveals happen to be, you know one innocent...

Now, back to business. How likely are the options Bom listed?

a)Eomer is a fake-revealing wolf whom the wolves went after and the Ranger protected:

There is a chance that Eomer is a fake revealing wolf. However, if that is the case, I think that the intended target was not him but someone else altogether. If the victim-to-be was Eomer, the wolves probably thought that the Ranger would think that they would think the Ranger would protect Eomer and not protect him (what a brain-twister...), so they went for him. So did the Ranger.

The thing that really speaks for this argument is the slim chance of dreaming twice and getting 2 wolves - 100% efficiency! Pretty rare!

b) Eomer is the Seer who revealed Shasta and Nerwen as wolves:

The only way to prove it is to lynch one of them. Unless Eomer is the fake-revealing wolf described in (a) and revealed his packmates. Which could make things complicated.

c) The wolves and the Ranger had a target other than Eomer:

I also think this is the unlikeliest option. Whom? Not Boro (unless he's one of them, so then obviously not), since Eomer revealed two wolves, and one of them would be Boro's pick (which he says it was). Who else would be such a choice that both the wolves and the Ranger would pick them?

There is also the question that if Eomer really dreamed about Nerwen&Shasta and the wolves got scared - would they try to kill Eomer and thus doom two of them? However, it might save the last survivor. If they left Eomer alive, he might dream of the last wolf and hence leave no chances at all.
