WW XCVI - The Fell Winter of 2911

[Nerwen]

So it was you, Shasta.

Oh well, at least I was the first to pick the correct wolf-line-up.

You were. And you gave me an incredible fright when, two minutes after the day opened, you asked the one question I was so scared you were going to - "why Nog, if Kath?"

[Kitanna]

“Well Kath, this is it.” Shasta remarked. He'd found a rope in Inzil's storeroom and was knotting it while Nerwen tied Kath's hands together.

“You know I'm innocent!” Kath had originally struggled against them. She had done nothing wrong and they had no right to harm her. But her efforts were futile and she realized this. At least she'd be dead and wouldn't see what was left of the village fall into ruin.

Shasta threw the rope over a beam on the ceiling. He fiddled with the height for a few moments before he placed a chair under the noose, content with his work. “Bring her over, Nerwen.”

The two forced Kath to stand on the back of the chair. It was a balancing act, causing her to stand up on her toes. At least the awkwardness of it all wouldn't last long. Shasta and Nerwen kicked out the chair together. The drop was short and the jolt of the drop cracked the woodsmith's neck.

The body swung there. Silence fell over the bar. Uncomfortable, Nerwen approached the body of Kath. She searched her pockets. No contract.

“I suppose I'm screwed now.”

“Yes, I suppose you are,” Shasta responded. Outside the wolves bayed.

I say! Wonderful performance, shasta, you managed to sneak your way through the remaining Days fairly enough without us.

I am so sorry for the very scattered performance of mine especially on the last Day I was playing, though maybe it was for the best. Sadly, there was no time for me to attempt to drown a few more ships along with mine

I have still enjoyed the first Days so much, especially, like I have already told her (and I should probably apologize for it once more), questioning G55 over and over again about the same stuff to the point of frustration, and I believe the famous slip of hers can be attributed to that. Yes, I know, not nice at all.

In any case, great job from my colleagues' part, it was lovely to play with you. As with everyone else. I must say, Nog, you were clinging to your life really nail and tooth, and I have to take hat off to you for making it that far. I was thinking you might be gone by Day 2 already. And of course, nice job from Agan. We were debating what you might be (Shasta thought you might be the Hunter posing as Cobbler until I pointed out to him that there is no Hunter in this game, but he managed to freak me out with that possibility for a second, too ), although I think my colleagues did not believe you were the Cobbler so much. I thought so on the first Day, but later I wasn't so sure anymore. The weirdest thing was we (or at least I) didn't think you might be a Ranger posing as Cobbler, somehow that didn't occur to me (I was operating under the logic "Ranger wants to stay quiet").

Lommy's death on Night 3 was, if I recall correctly, partially with the hope of her being a Ranger.

And before somebody asks, no, we did not really spot any Seer hints from Inzil as far as I know, but we just thought he might be a good target, and possibly a Seer. But, of course, the main reason was that our resident psychic just happened to randomly throw the name in. As it happens We still had no idea what would happen after we decided the kill. It was a surprise, but a pleasant one, to quote one of my favourite scheming Galactic senators. It's funny, at the moment I saw Shasta listing Zil's name as a possibility for our Night kill, I felt like "hey! This looks like some psychic pick!" And so it was...

Last of all, thanks to Kitanna. It was really enjoyable game, a pity the Cobbler didn't work out so much, but then again, even though its abilites were not successfully utilised (or were they?) it was present at least "theoretically", in discussions, which was enough...

[Inziladun]

Wow, what a failure on my part. Looks like I managed to do just enough on Day 1 to get the wolves' attention, but not enough to keep Menel safe. Definitely not how I envisioned my debut as a Seer.

Menel was indeed my Night 1 dream, and Nog nailed the reason why: since I'd never played with him before, I saw him as more of an unknown than the rest.

Night 2 I went for Agan, learning of course that she was the Ranger. Going into Day 2 I was pondering how I would play it if the time came to reveal. That turned out to not be an issue.

I was focused on avoiding my perennial hazard: getting lynched. Being Night-killed usually isn't something I have to worry about, especially early on.

I wasn't able to follow this very closely after my demise, but it appears to have been very well-played on the pack's part.

Thanks for the game, Kit, and for the opportunity to be Seer.

We should have known. How does he *do* it?
