Gurthang has just left Hobbiton.
"Cursed, since your birth dear, and your worst fears have all come true"

During the night, a heart chilling howl split the silence. Every villager sat upright in their beds. To each the howl had sounded almost outside their window. But the silence reigned again, although sleep did not.

When they arose in the morning, each made their way to the center of town, just as they had grown accustomed to do. The Villagers were already used to encountering the loss of a new Villager every morning, and therefore couldn't believe their eyes when they gathered to the village square. Everyone was there and very much alive. What did this mean? Had the wolf become a pacifist in one night? Had someone somehow escaped from the wolves never-missing grasp? They stood for a while in silence, trying to sort out their thoughts. But suddenly the villagers noticed a big 'C' carved on the wall of the nearest house.

They walked over to inspect the carving, which appeared to have been made by claws. Yet the letter had been hewn out of solid stone. Quivering, the villagers turned and walked away, knowing that the symbol had been left by the Werewolf.

"A 'C'? What could that mean?", one thought out loud.

"Clowns, perhaps?", piped in the very cheery jester.

"No, it can't be that. We're talking wolves here."

"Claws!"

"No, it has to Mean something."

"Then it must mean... Cursed..."

All the villagers gasped. But two of those gasps were only a ploy. Terrified they looked at each other. They knew that the nightly howl had sounded much to joyful to be normal. Suddenly they knew why the wolvish noise had sounded so full of glee. One of their own had been converted into a werewolf.


Living:
Anguirel - jester
Eonwe - militiaman
Lalaith - goosegirl
tar-ancalime - charlatan

Dead:
dancing spawn of ungoliant(mod) - mangled, tangled and strangled in fishing nets on Night 1
Bergil(ord) - hanged to death with profitable consequences on Day 1
Kuruharan(ord) - half devoured and prepared to be turned into haggis on Night 2
Meneltarmacil(ord) - sat on, roasted, minced and boiled by three passing by trolls on Day 2

Glirdan(ord) - taunted to death on Day 5
Firefoot(ord) - mutilated and deformed on Night 6
littlemanpoet(ord) - maimed with wondrous gadgets on Day 6

Score:
Villagers: 2
Wolves: 2

It is now Day 7. Day will end in 24 hours, or when everyone has voted. Normally, this villager to wolf ratio would mean that the wolves have won. But the outcome is not yet that certain.
