Day 4
The Brandywine Cabins were actually two Hunters’ Lodges, a curing-house and a sauna built initially by Breelander hunters going for a hunting trail as the flocks of elks and the moose used to be abundant at these areas. By time they were forgotten by the men of Bree, but the Rangers of the North remembered them well and took them to their own use.
They were built half into the ground so only the upper half of the ceilings were above the ground. The Rangers had landscaped them by pulling soil on top of them – and now after a century or so they were just mounds in the middle of a thicket of woods to any ignorant passer by.
But to the Rangers they were the oasis of the wilderland. They had storages of cured meat, dried bread and fruit, wine, dry wood for the fireplaces, first-aid supplies, clean clothes, tinderboxes, some weaponry, blankets… and real beds with mattresses – even if thin and rude.
The Rangers reached the cabins at early afternoon due to their early start. After heating up the cabins and the sauna they broke holes into the ice and washed themselves in the icy water of the Brandywine. After the bathing; fresh, clean and with a decent meal in their bellies they finally took the wine to the table of the larger cabin and started talking.
“Lottie and Sally have my full support, the werewolves must be among you others. Now explain…” Nienna proclaimed.
“I don't suspect Nienna or Sally” Loslote added nodding his head towards Nerwen. “You must be one, and then maybe Lommy and Gwath…”
“Not me, Lommy is!” Nerwen protested.
“Well, Lommy should not be a Captain anyway.” Sally said. “But I might like to be a Captain…”
“Sally should be the Captain” Nienna and Loslote echoed.
“Well now you’re either trusting innocents or then scheming wolves…” Lommy shook his head in despair.
“Look, Nienna. One of you is a wolf. In any ostensible category or group like this, it's never all innocents or all wolves. There's always one mixed in with the others” Gwath tried to reason.
“How can you trust them just like that… now just consider Nienna.” Kath added.
But they were voting for Nerwen to be lynched.
Loslote, Lommy and Nienna stood up and pulled their swords.
“It’s time Nerwen!” Loslote said.
“Give away your sword in peace.” Lommy added.
“Yeah. We’ll do it nice and clean if you co-operate.” Nienna said calmly.
"Just a minute! Let’s lynch Lommy instead, like Nerwen suggested?” Kath put in.
“Yeah, I have no reason but winning in mind I should say…” Gwath continued and stood up as well.
“Oooh! That is soo bold Gwath! I’ll take back my word. Let’s kill Lommy!” Sally cried and drove his sword through Lommy’s side. Kath and Nerwen struck simultaneously. Lommy fell down bleeding heavily.
“You fools…” He sighed… and died.
Nienna and Loslote looked at each other in growing anguish.
Nerwen grinned widely now. “So you little schemers… you thought you run away with this?”
Kath chuckled behind him and casually stabbed Nienna to death.
Sally realised his mistake and tried to reach the door only to feel Gwath’s hairy arms around him carrying him back to the center of the floor.
“Okay, I’ll handle this little sweetie myself” Nerwen said to Gwath and pointed at Loslote. “Unless you Kath wish to do it… You Gwath have your way with Sally...”
The game ends.
The wolves win!
