Werewolf XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold Game Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Meneltarmacil · 08-11-2012, 07:02 AM

There was a knock on Nessa Telrunya's door. She opened it to see all the townsfolk standing there wielding torches and pitchforks.

"Wh- What's all this about? I haven't done anything, have I? And shouldn't you be looking for Pitchwife?"

"Don't try to protest," said G55. "We know what you are. We all do."

"Wait!" shouted Sally. "What about Kitanna? This could all be her doing!"

"How do we know you're not trying to trick us?" responded Eomer. "Wait, where's Nessa?"

Nessa had attempted to escape during the argument, but was caught by Inzil and Shasta, who forcibly led her to the gallows.

"You and your superstitions! I only use herbal medicine to help people! I'm not a witch!" pleaded Nessa.

"We're not hanging you for witchcraft," said G55.

"Oh? So am I...?" Nessa. looked confused.

Inzil clarified. "We're hanging you for being a werewolf."

The expression on Nessa's face suddenly changed to a wicked grin. "Well if that's your accusation, than I'm guilty as charged." With that she started to grow in stature and sprouted dark hair all over her body. With great strength, she threw off the villagers restraining her before dropping to all fours and growing nasty yellow fangs. An enormous grey wolf now stood where the midwife had been.

The villagers looked on in horror as the beast lunged toward them. With the strength of pure terror, they barely managed to beat back the wolf with their pitchforks while their torches seared its fur and flesh. With a great howl, the wolf finally collapsed dead.

Saruman, watching the scene from the Palantir, swore under his breath.

It is now Night 2. Wolves may PM, everone else must be silent. I need names from Radagast and the wolves.

There came a knock on Nerwen's door.

"We're closed for the night. You'll have to come again."

The knock came again, this time with a lot of growling and snarling.

Another dissatisfied customer, thought the horse trader. Haven't they ever heard of "Let the buyer beware?" "Listen, I told you up front there were no refunds, and the sign outside should have made things clear," she said, walking over to the door and opening it. "Now if you don't leav-AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

The villagers found what was left of Nerwen's corpse impaled upon her "No Refunds For Defective Merchandise" sign the next morning.

Day 2 has begun. Wolves, stop PMing. Villagers, start your discussions.

"Werewolves? You call that Werewolves? Pathetic puppies, I say! When I was a lad we were raided by wargs so fierce they'd eat every living thing in the Westfold before you could say Ride, Eorlingas!. Good King Thengel and his men gave 'em short shrift though. Ah, those were the Days!" [/belated D1 IC rant]

Seriously, sorry for doing a Kath yesterDay and thanks to Shasta, Cop and Gal for foiling Nessa Fenrinya's attempt on my unprotected life. Speaking of which, I wonder how much hope she had it would succeed - I mean, there had been some talk of submarine-hunting earlier, but lynching somebody who's in danger of modfire anyway would be considered a wasted lynch in most villages, especially one so small.

If, however, she felt she could afford to make a throwaway vote, there must either have been some chance of lynching an innocent at the time she voted - which would speak for Kit and against sally and/or Zil - , or her packmates hadn't voted yet and she was leaving things in their hands - which would point to those who voted after but not for her, i.e. Kit and Eomer (disregarding for now the possibility of wolf-on-wolf votes).

Now if the latter is true and Kit is one of the wolves, that would mean there were two wolves in danger of being lynched yesterDay and no innocent bandwagon to fall back on; which would explain the lack of any concerted attempt to save Nessa. But in this case I'd have expected to find Zil dead toDay instead of Nerwen.

Good questions both, I'd like to hear that too. But Cop, why did you think Nerwen a possible seer?
