Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIX: Ang Sagang Daga, bow. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It has been a fortday and a fortnight since the Prophet Nilpaurion ascended the cloud-crowned heights to obtain the 'rules' from the Mod God himself. The villagers watched the spectacle, betting among themselves whether Nilp would still come back or not. A few of the hardy ones (stalkers, if truth be known) dared to climb the mountain after the Prophet, but were turned back when bolts of lightning came down from the clouds surrounding the mountain.

Ened-in-Nowhere would have been a shocking sight for an Atani from beyond the village, a Man who had lived in a time when the golden ship of Arien had scarce a hundred years of sailing in the firmament. But this was no ordinary village; many of the rules of Physics and morality were allowed to be bent, even broken, so long as it was written in an italic fashion. But this was about to change.

Slowly, the mists surrounding the mountain dispersed, and the figure of the Prophet can be seen. In his hand were two stone tablets. He stopped short of the foot of the mountain, raised the tablets, and cried:

'Hear now, O villagers of Ened-in-Nowhere, the laws from our Mod God.

'There shall be two phases in this game: DAY and NIGHT. By the DAY every villager shall talk among themselves in public, and cast their vote. The person who receives the most votes shall be lynched. The Mod God shall allow two persons to be lynched in a DAY, but not more. If three or more persons are up for lynching, the first two to get the highest number of votes shall be consumed by fire from Menel.

'Votes shall be cast in this manner:

'++Meneltarmacil

'Votes must be in a separate line. Unlike the Mod God, his Prophet is not all-seeing.

'By NIGHT the thread is closed to all but the Prophet of the Mod God and anyone to whom he gives permission to post.

'You shall have four Werewolves in this village, and they may talk among themselves DAY and NIGHT. At NIGHT, they shall kill one of the villagers. The Werewolves shall win if their numbers equal the number of the remaining villagers, unless the Lovers are still alive.

'You shall have two Lovers in this village, one from the ranks of the villagers, and one from the Werewolves. They shall PM each other but once during the DAY and once during the NIGHT, for their love is a secret love, and a deadly one. The Lovers will die together--if one is lynched, or killed by the Werewolves, or struck dead by the Mod God, the other shall join him in the gloom of underworld. They shall win if they are left together with but one person, be the survivor innocent or guilty.

'You shall have two Seers in this village, and they may talk among themselves DAY and NIGHT. At NIGHT, they shall dream of a villager, and his true aspect shall be revealed to them, save the role of the Lovers. The Werewolf/Lover they shall see only as a Werewolf, and the Ordinary Villager/Lover they shall see only as an Ordinary Villager.

'All out-of-character comments, regarding absences, discussion of rules, usw, must be placed in the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread.

'Death to anyone who goes absent for a whole DAY without prior notice, unless he redeems his life by giving the Prophet a very good excuse for his absence.

'Death to anyone who does not vote for three DAYs.

'Death to anyone who does not post for three DAYs, be his absences excused or not.

'Here is the full census of the village:

dancing spawn of ungoliant, a laundress
Kath, a turtle-farmer
Lhunardawen, a Dark Elf (literally)
Caranlondien, a lumberjack
tar-ancalime, a witch
Cailín, the town gossip
Celuien, a psychiatrist
Naria, a midwife who goes ever so slightly mad with each birth
Valier, a small, sweet sheep-shearer
Lalaith, a rich young widow
Thinlómien, a mushroom-picker
Garin, the town surgeon and barber
Formendacil, an unemployed person
littlemanpoet, a stone-cutter
Glirdan, an unemployed person
Farael, an escaped mental asylum internee who suffers from chronic suicidal tendency and conspiracy theories
Anguirel, a wood-madman
Eomer of the Rohirrim, the royal musician
Gurthang, an arrowsmith
the guy who be short, a Nilp fan, stalker and impersonator, also a fisherman
Eonwe, a wayfaring stranger
SamwiseGamgee, the town bank manager

'Remember the invisible mode, and keep the box ticked.

'It is now a NIGHT. The Mod God expects a name from the Seers. DAY shall begin tomorrow, 8:30am GMT.'
