WWJ XI: When World's Collide

[Glirdan]

The four final villagers gathered for what they hoped would be the final lynch. "Only two need cast their votes toNight," Wilwa said sadly. "Be sure you are happy with your decision." And she walked away slowly, never to be seen again.

The other villagers looked at each other and started addressing each other. Finally, two cas their votes...both for Nogrod.

The other three looked at each other, hoping they had made the right decision.

"So, what should we do to him?" Kath said nervously, always glancing sideways at Nogrod in fright.

"Well, we could attempt to trample him with my horses," Lommy suggested.

"No," Volo said straight out. "How about we poison him? I've been keeping some in my Inn to poison Wilwa..." he said, grinning evily.

"Ummm, no...." Kath said, horror struck at Volo's sudden outburst. "What if we cut him up and ate him?"

"Ugh!! NO!!!" They all shouted at once.

"I have an idea," said a deep voice behind them. "How about we do none of those, and I kill you all!"

TO BE CONTINUED....TOMORROW!!!! ( )

[Glirdan]

The villagers turned slowly around to find a great hairy beast standing where Nogrod once stood. There was a big glob of drool hanging from his bottom lip as he slicked his lip in anticipation, excited at the meal he was about to recieve.

The villagers were rooted to the spot in pure fear. "What, are you all going to stand there as I kill you one by one?" Nogrod snarled in amusement. "Come on! I want a chase!" And he lunged at the Kath and Lommy, who screamed in utter terror.

Out of nowhere, an arrow zoomed into view and thudded right between the snarling beast and the girls. "Stay away from them!" Volo said quietly. The others turned to look at him. He had cast his Day garb aside. Underneath it, he had a sword attached to his sash and a quiver of arrows slung over his back with an bow out and another arrow already stung to it. "I said stay away from them you great ugly brute!!" Volo yelled and he fired off the arrow. It flew straight and pierced Nogrod's arm.

Nogrod howled in pain and ripped the arrow out of his arm. He turned quickly and lunged for Volo. He cast his sword aside and drew his sword. There was a deafning clang as Nogrod's claws clashed against Volo's sword.

A furious battle between the final Cursed and final Gifted errupted. They moved quickly, slashing here, clawing there. Finally, they stood ten feet apart from each other, each with cuts and scratches all over. Volo was panting heavily whereas Nogrod stood looking at him in pleasure.

"You have put up an excellent fight, Ranger. And I must comend you on your efforts to protect the village, but they were futile. You will all die anyway!"

"Is that so?" Volo asked, snearing. "Why don't you look behind you!"

Nogrod turned around quickly. Lommy and Kath, who, during the battle, had ran to Volo's Inn, had swords in their hands. Nogrod sneered. "Ha! I bet you two don't even know how to wield swords, you pathetic little whelps!"

"No, you're right," Kath said, smiling evily.

"We're just a distraction," Lommy said, smiling just as evily.

Then there was a loud twang from behind him and Nogrod fell, an arrow protruding from his heart.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Kath opened her eyes slowly, wondering where she was. "What, where am I? What happened?" She rose slowly and looked around. She saw Lommy and Volo standing there. And next to them was...Glirdan and Wilwa!

"What's going on?" she asked, utterly perplexed.

"That's just what we were asking," Volo said.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead, and you supposed to be lost forever!?" Lommy asked, frightened by what she saw in front of her.

"No, we are not dead. Neither are the people who you were with, with the exception of the Wolves. The others have been spared and sent back to their original era's. But you three have overcome all odds. You three, are exactly what we are looking for," Glirdan said smiling.

"And why's that?" Kath asked.

"Well, this all started awhile ago. Melkor, or as most no him as now, Morgoth, has laid siege on Beleriand," Wilwa started.

"Yes, know that, but what have these two got to do with it?" Lommy said inquisitively.

"We're getting to that, but these two need to know what's happening," Glirdan said shortly.

"As I was saying, Morgoth has laid siege on Beleriand and all it's inhabitants. He has put his most feared servant, Sauron, in charge of the island Tol-in-Gaurhoth. There, he breeds fell creatures, Werewolves in fact."

"And that's when I cam up with the idea of recrutting adventuerer's to come aid us. The only problem was how," Glirdan continued. "A short while ago, Wilwa and myself stumbled upon this little set up," he spread his arms to indicate the room. It was just then that Volo, Lommy and Kath noticed where they were. They were in a cave which was brightly lit and full of strange contraptions they had never even seen before.

"What is all this stuff?" Volo asked curiously.

"We don't exactly know, but we have thoughts," Wilwa answered. "With this equipment, we managed to travel to other era's in time and put everyone who was with you in a deep sleep. We brought you back here and put you in those pods."

"Now what happened is that once you were put in those pods, you all fell into a deep sleep and only until you were killed, or in your case, managed to find the Wolves, you stayed asleep. Once you were killed, you awoke and we sent you away."

"However, there are some who did outstanding work and we let them stay here. Boromir was one of those. We sent him off to help out in the war against Morgoth. And that is what you are here to do. You are here to help us in this war. That is if you would like," Glirdan said with a pleading expression.

Volo, Kath and Lommy looked at each other and said at the same time, "Of course we'll help!!"

Wilwa and Glirdan looked at each other and smiled. "Then be on your way, young heroes. The land of Beleriand beckons you!" And with a strange flash, the two Elves had disappeared.

"Man, they're good at that disappearing thing," Volo said, shaking his head in amazment.

"So, shall we go?" Kath asked them timidly.

"Yes, we shall. Follow me, for I know this land," Lommy said excitedly. And all three headed off out of the cave. They looked around the land.

Without a glance backwards, they set off into the sinking sun, not know what to expect on the horizon.

As for the ending, I told you it was far fetched.

Anyway, here are my congrats:

Nogrod - You did absolutely amazing!! I was so happy watching you choose your kills near the end. You planned them out perfectly. Too bad that Ranger got in your way a few times. Which brings me to my next one...

Volo - For your first time and in a Gifted role, I am greatly impressed. You too were amazing!

Kath and Lommy - Congrats on making it to the end and managing to stay under the radar.

Boromir - I don't think I've ever seen a Seer get that lucky before. I was shocked and impressed when you naile the first two Wolves in three Days.

Valesse - You did amazing, especially since this was only your second time and in a Cursed role. Many congrats!

Menel - I had high hopes for you, but Boromir went and nailed you on the first Day. Still, I know you would have done an amazing job.

Everyone else - You have no idea how proud I am of each and every one of you. All of you have amazing writing skills and amazing playing skills. Of all three games I've modded, this has been the most fun, the funniest and the best game I have modded. I owe you all a great thank you. So, THANK YOU!!!!

Wilwa - Even though you didn't do a whole lot, you helped me with the planning of the ending and you did the other stuff I asked you to do. Thank you ever so much!!

Now, you can all post away and rep away!!

And once again, thank you too all of you for an amazing game!!

[wilwarin538]

You're welcome!

Congrats villagers!

I know I wasn't that useful near the end, very very busy in real life, but I still had fun reading everything and doing the few posts I did.

You all played very well!

[Boromir88]

Boromir - I don't think I've ever seen a Seer get that lucky before. I was shocked and impressed when you naile the first two Wolves in three Days.

You must have missed the game I was the Seer and Mithalwen modded, when I got Fea and Kuru, both wolves, in two days.

Congradulations villagers, and a super congrats to you Volo, for having two successful protections...(I'm not sure if that Ranger has done that in any game before).

It was fun seering, after I was whacked I was begging everyone to listen to Naria and Kath as they were pretty much dead on my votes and my mind. And eventhough if Nogrod was twisting everything I still never suspected him as a wolf, you almost pulled it off.

Basically just my thoughts. I've played with Menel before and know he can be a valuabe guy so I wanted to make sure about him right from the start, turns out bad luck for him. Then I thought exactly what Gil thought and perhaps Menel voted for Valier to throw us off, so I dreamt of her. I followed up my growing suspicions of Valesse with a dream. Then I really had no clue who the third wolf was. I thought perhaps Mac was trying to slip through, and if not him then Sleepy...Nogrod never came across as being a wolf, extremely bold move (don't think I would even attempt that ) but it almost paid off.

Good job for figuring the little conniving lycan out.

And a special congrats to Glirdan and Wilwa (glad I could make you laugh, ). I thorougly enjoyed this game it's got me back and addicted after I really wasn't sure about participating again considering how some prior games had gone.

[The Saucepan Man]

I only really followed this towards the end, but it was fun to watch. Well done to all concerned.

You villagers really should have listened to Naria, you know, when she pointed out that Boro had left some doubt as to Noggie's innocence. It seemed to me to be a very insightful analysis so, after she turned out innocent, Nog was looking pretty suspicious to me for the remainder of the game. Luckily for you, Lommy finally picked up on the point again at the end - just in time.

But you did a great job too, Nogrod, as a lone Wolf throughout much of the game. I was half rooting for you and half screaming in frustration every time that you were once again assumed to be part of Boro's "innocent" list.

[Valesse]

I have to agree. As I was following the game (almost obsessively. Honestly I think I refreshed the page more often post mortum than while I had business in it.) I had to cheer on Noggie's choice kills.

As for that strategy of ours... heh... it was a big bungled, but in the end looked rather different than it actually was.

Menel's death was rather upsetting for me at least. I didn't join the bandwagon against him not because... well... I'd look innocent, but because Nogrod has voted for him already, and our mission was first and most importantly to separate.

I ought to thank Menel here. When I was appointed wolf I had NO idea what to do about it. Honestly, this is my first 'gifted' position, and without that first hint of direction would have freaked out so quickly it wouldn't have been much of a game.

Oh goodness, I could go on until my death tonight, but alas right now I have homework and an early meeting. I will be back in a matter of hours to babble mindlessly on what I was involved with.

However I must mention to Boromir that I did think that Menel was "just joking". He was suppose to suspect Nogord that day from what I understood from our discussion the Night before.

[Thinlómien]

I was wrong after all with the "I catch no evil intent" -thing.... Luckily the part I got right was the identity of the wolf. Cheers, Naria! We should have listened to you. Sorry for being a big factor in your lynch. (I can apologise after game, right? )

(By the way, Kath, what was so wrong with fellow victims? )

A great game everybody!

Especially Nogrod. Wonderful bluffing and back-stabbing. It wasn't that you were really suspicious on the last day but that Kath and Volo seemed just more innocent (partly by gut-feeling, I must admit).

Thanks for Boro too, for great seering.

And Volo, you were absolutely great for a ranger (and you were a newbie... I guess we tend to undervalue newbies.) Keep playing!

I must say, as a final note, that I was quite amused by the fact that the three people who were with me on the last day were my father, my RL friend and the first 'downer I ever really befriended with.

Well it was a very short game, Borosir

[JennyHallu]

AGH!!!! I just knew Noggie was evil. Especially that last day when everything he said sounded so reasonable and made no sense.

So, wolvsies, why'd I get killed so early?

[Meneltarmacil]

Well, it was a good game, though I missed most of it. Nogrod almost made it there...

Anyhow, I was wondering why I was killed the first Day and thought it was due to my post about Lommy and Naria. It turns out now that I was actually the casualty of a Seer's dream, and a very wise choice of a Seer's dream as well. (I would have dreamed about you first as well, Boromir.)

I'd hoped that my comment about Gil-Galad's occupation and Glirdan's death would have been interpreted as the rather obvious joke it was, though...

Anyway, is it just me or have I always been suspicious of Boromir88 when we've played together?

Sounds like a good place to start today. After Menel was eliminated *sniffsniff* Nogrod and I... well... at least I was a bit frazzled. Basically instead of getting rid of Boromir (Which we should have!) we decided to pick a random person from the list (You, Jenny) in hopes that people would be thrown off by it. We also considered Lommy, which probably would have been much easier on Noggie IRL, but I completely forgot they knew one another.

During that second Day, Noggie tried to keep Mac and Boromir in close assosication with him, which most everyone picked up on nicely. Mwahahaha!

I had plans to frame Sleepy and Naria, but that didn't work out so well. Instead people were making a case against Diamond and Kath, and because I wanted it to look natural... I voted Kath. I must say that Nogrod's targets (Gil and Diamond) were much more effectively eliminated.

The third night Nogrod sounded like he was pretty sure he was going to die... Which I didn't understand at all.

As he had so gently stated the Day before, Boromir was going to be after me the next day, so naturally I'm panicing because all of my hope for a wolfish victory meant Nogrod staying alive... And keeping Nogrod alive meant we couldn't get rid of Boromir! Besides... now if we had gone and picked Boromir I would have looked twice as guilty as before.

Anyway, He was so stanchly protecting Noggie that it seemed foolish to remove him from our deceptive shield. You can't imagine how frustrating that was for me, so I gritted my teeth and suggested that we needed to get rid of Valier before she could put up anything incriminating against us. Hence her murder.

I knew the end was near for me because of you, Boromir *shakes fist*
Infact:

Don't support me. I'd rather you vote for me than do what I did to Menel.

If we weren't suppose to be connected, what better way to remove a wolf from the 'pack' than to have it turn against it's own kind? I was sure it would promise us a victory and it worked until the very very end. Grr! So close, too!

I'd like to hear Nogrod's reasons for the other deaths, and why no one considered why the oh-so-innocent Nogrod lasted so long during the nights?
