Game Thread: WW LXXXVI - The Halls of Mandos - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rikae · 01-28-2011, 10:01 PM

Cold and lonely was the day for Beren Camlost (apart from the occasional heated argument with the Elves), and he longed for the company of his sweet Tinúviel. Yet she was gone, not to return for many an age. In his tormented dreams Beren pleaded to Mandos, the Lord of the Dead, bid him to let Lúthien stay with him just one more day, and it seemed to him as if the Vala was answering him:

"Thingol's daughter indeed shall return to the living and remain with you and your companions for one more day. But then you both shall return to my halls to dwell here until your spirits are healed."

"In the meantime, your love and her fellow dead wish to give to you, as a sign of their trust, to have your vote doubled in your quest to slay the evil that has beset you."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the day progressed, no clear bandwagon emerged... there was no one person, it seemed, who looked particularly evil, no one person on whom many could agree; Boromir, Wilwa, phantom and Nessa each received one vote, while nine elves pointed to Nogrod. Tension was high. The lynch hung by a thread.

"As time here..." Nogrod began, then coughed: "I mean, I am the seer. Aganzir is indeed Beren. phantom is a phabbler."

"No, I'm not Beren - I'm Lúthien!" laughed Aganzir, pulling off her false beard.

Nogrod contined to stare fixedly in the other direction, mumbling something about helping from the halls of Mandos.
"He's lying! Kill him!" shouted the others. Not nine, but ten arrows struck the bewildered looking Nogrod in the
back. The tenth was Aganzir's, and it could be argued that it was absolutely essential.

Nogrod fell to his knees, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "You will have to beg me to reveal my dreams!" he
cried.

"Actually, I was Beren all along" Aganzir added, pulling off his false chin and revealing a beard. "Not that it matters."

When the company turned back toward their campsite, they noticed that one of their number was missing without a trace.
Perhaps Blind Guardian had also gone to Mandos; time would only tell if her voice would be heard there.

The living:

Aganzir
Glirdan
A Little Green
elronds_daughter
Nerwen
Loslote
Wilwa
Legate
Lommy
Nessa
satansaloser2005
the phantom

The dead:

Nogrod
Blind Guardian

Night 3 has begun. Nocturnal people, be active.

Note: Blind Guardian has been modfired; however, I have made the unilateral modly decision to re-assign her
role. One of you will be receiving your new role by PM toNight.
