Though we could potentially have been three?

I asked Kath earlier. She said it was "Where Monsters Roam." Translated by Anguirel.

I was suspect-Seer? Cool! You guys didn't really seem suspicious - it was process of elimination. Everybody else felt innocent.

I don't know why I didn't go after Nogrod after Saucy's lynching. I thought he'd just muddled up his numbers and didn't realise his vote was needed.

I too would like to know what my surprise was. Though I presume it involved Pokémon?

Speaking of Pokémon, I believe our victory demands a song and dance. Here you go! Celebrate ŕ la fęte de Miaouss!

Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Nah, it's Where Monsters Slaughter. Or Butcher. Or some similar verb. Apparently on this occasion they didn't...

Now...back to Latin revision...

My mistake. Trucidare is "to slaughter" or "to massacre." So it would be equally apt for morm's butcher.

You can ask Kath, whom I rather smugly told I had spotted the Seer after merely two days.
It's true, she did!

Quote:
Thank you for the chat skwerlz, Kath m'love. I loved my death!
You're most welcome, it was a fun one to write!

Quote:
And, of course, a big well done for Kath for such great modding. I was genuinely contrite when you told me off for my anagram shenanigans. Wonderful death scenes, though (although I was rather annoyed that Nilp crashed my death scene ).

Oh, and my favourite animal is not a Duck-Billed Platypus. I gave Kath a serious option and two silly ones. She went for one of the silly ones ...

What was the surpise for tgwbs, by the way?
Glad to see I got through! Yes I'm sorry about Nilp crashing it but I had to kill him off sometime or he'd have yelled at me more. The silly one was more fun, and it meant I could curb your verbosity! The surprise for tgwbs was simply that his killers would be Pokemon. I was going to have a battle between Ash and Team Rocket going on in front of him

Ang is right on that (he should be since he came up with it for me), it means "Where Monsters Slaughter".

Quote:
Kath, you are evil. I wanted to die in Caran's hands. You know, some Werewolf VI frustration...
Sorry Lhuna my love! But she was never after you anyway.

Quote:
So who are the gifteds, aside from Caran and Nog - I mean Lommy, really?
Lommy was the Seer.
Caran the Hunter.
Durelin was the Ranger.
Cailin the Changeling.
Lhuna, Nogrod and tom the wolves.

Oh and I will be getting Fin's death and the final narration up sometime today. I just had a clash with an RL RS exam that I suddenly realised I really should revise for, and then you guys had to go and finish the game!

Reps are also coming out soon, I just got repped out yesterday.

I'm disappointed I wasn't lynched.

Actually, if I'm understanding correctly, shouldn't it be 'Monsters Slaughter Here'? If you wanted 'Where', 'ubi' might have been more appropriate.

And if you really want to be technical, 'monstrae' is used more in the sense of omens and portents; 'belluae' would indicate a beast or wild animal.

Yep... it's official. I'm a nerd.
