The thing that gets me about lommy is that although I picked up her suggestion about Lal ..she didn't really follow when I tried to run with it ... much later in the day she said Lal seemed odd for something else but no consideration of voting for her .....

I don't think it will matter but does Kath's vote stand if she is dead?

All votes that have been cast during the Day will count. No one dies before the deadline or loses her/his right to speak until the Day is over.

Ok .. think it has got to be Lommy or Rikae ....

Now leaning towards Lommy but far from certain ... Rikae, I haven't played with before so have no prior experience - but she has ploughed such a conspicuously individual furrow that it seems so unlikely for a wolf ... but maybe she is just a freespirit aieeeeeeeee

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
I'm optimistic about this Day right now. I would be extremely shocked if neither Kath nor Lommy was a wolf and slightly surprised if both weren't.

--Kath

++Lommy

In which case you are safe .... I am not sure .. I feel it is one of you .... but we may as well make this unanimous andI have suspected her more in the end...

YesterDay it had been a run of two candidates but as the morning rose and the body of the Ranger was found all seemed to be open again. But soon enough Lommy the Shepherdess had gathered enough votes to turn out the obvious next lynchee of the village. The villagers turned towards her.

“Loomy is a wolf”, said the Moose Tamer. He had said that from the first Day onwards with great certainty.

“Lommy's every move has been the model of an alpha-wolf”, said Anguirel the Merry.

“Killing me won't help you to survive this village, I'm afraid. However, it's not a disaster if you kill me since we can afford losing an innocent toDay”, she said resignedly and turned to the doorway. “Anyway, I'll go now.” With that she left, choking back her tears. The people at the inn looked at each other a bit concernedly and then ran after her.

But they were too late. The Ugly Little Shepherdess had jumped in to the well at the square. The villagers heaved her up only to find out that she was still a human being, only a dead one now.

“Now that did it!” said Anguirel the Merry and revealed his golden dagger. “Kath the Weaver, in the name of the good Elvenking Finrod Felagund I slay you now.” He called aloud and before the Weaver had time to react, he drove the dagger straight into her chest.

There was an expression of bewilderment in the Weaver’s eyes when she started changing, first slower, then faster. Hair started growing all over her body and her teeth started changing, the eyes were turning red and she was gaining in size too. The villagers pulled back away from her in horror, but Gorlim's Lighthearted Brother stood firm on his feet and stabbed her again. A shrilling roar came out from her mouth as she fell down. She was a wolf. She clearly was.

The initial success of the wolves had started waning. The Alpha-Wolf was alone now but it knew whom to kill. It felt itself driven to the corner but would at least go with a blaze of glory. And the commanding voice in it’s head called for more blood.

The Ranger heard the Wolf creeping towards the house she was guarding that Night. She had gotten it right this Night! There would be no deaths toNight! She was pleased. But she was also nervous, almost terrified in fact. There being no deaths toNite would require her to step forwards and face the beast alone in the Night. Would the sword protect her?

The Homeless Waif’s heartbeat went wild. But inspired by Gorlim’s Lighthearted Brother’s firmness the evening before she gathered all her courage and stepped out from the shadows to cut the Wolf’s way. “You foul beast of Darkness! With this sword of the Eagles I command thee to crawl back to your lair! You shall not kill anyone toNight!” The giant Wolf stopped on it’s trail.

Suddenly the front door of the house banged open and the Serious Jester ran out, an arrow already notched in his bowstring. “Get out of my way you Homeless Waif! This matter is between me and the wolf. That beast tops my list and I have been preparing for this already two Nights in a row. And I will kill the beast even if I have to perish along with it. This werewolvery will have to end toNight!” The Jester bellowed and pulled the string.

The Homeless Waif took a step forwards to get between the Jester and the Wolf. She would not allow anyone to get killed so long as she was protecting them. “Hold on a...”, she started.

“Hold on a minute, everyone!” a loud call echoed from the darkness not far away. “I think it’s my privilege to make us rid of the beast”, the voice declared.

The wolf turned it’s head towards the new voice just to realise a heavy golden dagger coming towards it, flying much too fast for the giant wolf to react to in anyway. The dagger hit the creature straight into the forehead, breaking deep into it’s skull. Rikae fell backwards from the impact. First she was in shock, then she was dead.

Anguirel the Merry came out from behind the nearest trees. “Sorry Boro, me old mate.” He said merrily. “You see, this way no’ne else had to die.” He looked at the astonished faces of both Firefoot and Boromir. “Keep it simple...”, he added and smiled.

“Should we wake Mith and Farael up? I mean this has ended now, hasn’t it? Shouldn’t they know it asap?” Firefoot asked.

“I think we have all earned a pint!”, Boro agreed.

“On the house...”, Firefoot added.
