So maybe you are the other one... ;)

You know what? If both Kath and Shasta are innocent, and the wolf-pair is Lommy and phantom, Durelin and phantom or Lommy and Durelin... then you guys deserve to win. (And if it's Lommy... why, then we're quits.)

I doubt it, though.

Where's everyone gone? I need to vote now 'cause I have to leave soon. As things are I'm going to have to vote Shasta as I'm less sure of his innocence than I am of mine.

EDIT: Just got about three emails through from this thread, there you all are. :rolleyes:

Now what would be hysterical is if Shasta is the Assassin and just couldn't be here to fight Nerwen's claim. :D

That actually occured to me too but I really do trust Nerwen... (If she is a wolf :eek:, she deserves to win just for the boldness of it...)

Are we actually doing anything or just waiting for the deadline to make a last-minute voting chaos? There is something deeply unsettling in this silence and consesus...

Ha ha! Yes, I'd send her flowers and everything for doing something like that.

I hope you lot know you're keeping me from the pub by refusing to let me know just how close my neck is to being in a noose. :rolleyes:

Oh, come on Lommy. Surely you realize why everyone's waiting. The WWs don't know how things are going to go, and the innocents are scared of making the wrong choice and dooming the village. You can't tell me that you're not nervous. My stomach is churning. It hasn't been like this since the final day of Fea's village with SPM and Mith.

Alright, this is ridiculous.

++SHASTA

Oh - are we going with the 'Downs clock? 'Cause that gives us 20 minutes yet.

Of course I'm nervous - obviously I am if I find simple things like a little silence deeply unsettling... you know, I just got this nagging feeling that maybe it's you and Dury after all... Oh this game is just horrible. :D And you shouldn't really have mentioned chruning stomachs - mine started that too now...

edit: xed with Kath x2

We are. At least we have done so this far...

Well, guess it is 'Downs time then. And I have to go before my parents kill me in RL. :rolleyes: I'm not returning again now.

I think Kath and tp are a good possibility....but what the heck's with Shasta...

Sorry, I have been quiet because I got a phone call.

Or you're a WW who is still hoping to save her fellow from the lynch. You're probably safe for today, but I'm going to be looking at today's posting carefully tonight to see if you are the likely accomplice.

Arrrrrgh.

++Kath

Okay, so here's what we know. If Shasta and Kath are both innocent, the game is over.

Unless the voters were WWs.

So Nerwen, which way are you going? We know you're innocent.

Lommy- which way are you leaning? Let's not have a flurry.

Oh come on... who's my fellow? Shasta? (Well, actually, judging by what I've said about him toDay, he maybe could be... ;) But of course he's not, because I have no fellows, I'm all alone here and can't trust anybody but myself and maybe Nerwen. *sniff*)

And how come you're so sure there will be a toMorrow? Are you a wolf who feels his fellow (Shasta or maybe Kath) will be lynched toDay?

edit: mass xed eek the time

Kath for Shasta
Dur for Kath

I don't really know... Aieee.... Kath feels both more guilty and more innocent...

edit: xed with tp

Hmm... I'd rather spare Kath after all. She was innocentish today. Maybe. We can always lynch her toMorrow as I hope there will be one...

Time's just about to run out.

Let's get this over with:

++Shasta.

Personally, I think we're doomed, anyway.

EDIT: X'd since Lommy at 661.

I'm going to leave Kath alive. Shasta must go. Voting now.

++Shasta

Let the doom come...

Deadline.

Let the doom come, indeed. ;)

Well, we know who the WWs will be killing tonight.

See ya Nerwen.

Farewell...

You know, it's a shame - Mac had a great werewolf-lynching narration all planned out, and he never got to use it...

please hold off on discussion until we have the final narration up, which won't be long.

Thus started the day that should be the last the expedition was going to see. During the night before, the wolves had been nervous. In her last words before falling asleep, Brinniel made a remark that got the wolves startled:

I really hope both of you aren't wolves.

Were they not doing as well as they thought? Were the innocents actually on their trail without noticing it? Brinniel had to go in any case... but would anybody guess the reason behind it?

They continued to be nervous when the day started. Nerwen, who revealed herself as the assassin stood before them upright: Well, it's clear now: the evil ones are Lommy and the phantom.

The wolves gasped. Busted. they thought. But then Nerwen laughed: Nah, I'm just kidding.

I'm really finding it hard to think of Lommy and phantom as guilty. Durelin added.

The wolves took a look at each other. Could it be that some of the surviving villagers were also secretely on their side? Even though most of the village seemed convinced of their innocence, they couldn't feel secure just yet. Not with the loner roane glaring at one of them, and interrupting the discussion now and then to cry "Now can we kill him? Please please please?", nor with the unemployed bum occasionally accusing the other.

But eventually the villagers grew weary of their march and their debate. Kath was the first to decide; declaring "this is ridiculous!" . Kath was the first to decide; declaring "this is ridiculous!" announced her wish for Shasta's death.

Durelin, however, disagreed, and sounding her barbaric "Arrrrrgh." into the world, vowed to lynch Kath.
Okay, so here's what we know. If Shasta and Kath are both innocent, the game is over. the phantom concluded, surpressing a grin.

After that, the expedition finally lost heart, and considering themselves doomed anyway, agreed with Kath. They never got to do what they planned to do, though. As soon as it was clear to him that his death would be the death of the entire expedition, and that his arch-enemy would be among the victors, his own prophecy fulfilled itself: Shasta's head exploded, covering those willing to kill him in his blood.
The innocents were stunned. Only Nerwen screamed:

These wolves are enemies beyond our strength. Run!



a fresh breeze drifted down the corridor, renewing their hope, and they hurried forward, fighting to keep their eyes open, each watching the other suspiciously out of the corner of an eye, wondering if this was one of the two waiting to slaughter them all in their sleep. Gradually they noticed the light beginning to change - taking on a quality of natural light. Durelin fancied she could hear birds singing - but birds? Here in the far north? It couldn't be....

suddenly, she awoke to find she had collapsed on the floor. Sitting up, she saw that Kath and Nerwen had fallen also - and, looking further ahead, she saw, unmistakably, the exit to the tunnel. But before she could rise, the wolves were upon her.

Congratulations, wolves! You guys were awesome. Total nail-biter there at the end...

To quote Kath's signature: Great ordos of disappointment! :p

You may start discussing now.

Congrats you two, obviously had no idea.

Apologies to Nogrod.

*gloatgloatgloat* Oh, my first real success ever as a wolf. :D This was just great. I'm sorry for Kath, though. :D

I must say I have found such remarks...not fun.

Wow! My plan worked!

That was a very interesting game. And my first as a non-ordo. Congratulations, wolves!

Arggh! I've been screaming at the screen now for days!
WW IV!! WW IV! He was just the same!

Well done. Great playing.
