Werewolf XXX - Tol-in-Elendili - The Isle of the Were-Faithfuls

[Nogrod]

A few comments on some people I haven't yet have time to look at closer...

I'm a bit puzzled by the way Roa has played toDay. I mean she seems to defend me in every corner. That makes one uneasy. Or maybe she's using me just as her hobby-horse to go after Spm? Anyhow that I need to think toMorrow if I'm still around.

Another one who puzzles me a bit is tgwbs as I think I have agreed with almost everything he's said toDay. That also makes me worried as I see that through agreement I'm getting to trust him.

Kath I'm afraid as I always seem to be. She has posted little hanging under every radar just to possibly sting when the time is ripe. She knows how to do that.

It's funny how prophetic the first post turned out to be.

And here you are about to lynch your seer.

Sorry if this is premature, but with 20 minutes left I didn't dare wait any longer.

[Durelin]

Oh lord, I knew this was going to be off to a bad start...

--Manwe

++Garin

[Mithalwen]

Oh £$%^$$£££ Who best to vote for since the people who I suspect most aren'tthose who others do ..not convinced of Manwe or Garin's guilt but we need our seer ..... arrrgh

[Mithalwen]

Rikae was a very bold wolf last time but...... if she is lying she will get found out ere long and if she tells the truth she will be needed...

[Nogrod]

Rikae I believe would fight back if she'd be a werecreature. So how she is that calm and quiet?
---
Look what I wrote before I saw what Rikae told us just a minute ago!

[Nogrod]

Okay. From between Garin and Mänwe I'd think Mänwe not being a were-faithful (too reckless for that) but possibly a cobbler. There is something cobbleresque in his one track mind stuff...

Garin is just a mystery to me still. A very-very jumpy wolf or just a plain innocent who always gets lynched? Or now as he finally is a werecreature he's even more jumpy than normally?

Oh my.

[Nogrod]

Please Mith, if you have any fresh ideas tell us... although I know the history of last minute "fresh ideas" as they tend to turn out into disasters more often than not if they are taken in at last minutes.

[Lalaith]

Ok Rikae, I'll buy what you've said. Now, given you've had a dream already, tell us what you've seen. In your opinion, is it ok to switch to Garin?

[Lalaith]

Actually sorry, arrgh, what was I thinking.

The Ranger will protect you tonight and then the wolves will kill the known innocent. DON'T tell us the known innocent if you have one.

[Roa_Aoife]

Certainly, Rikae shouldn't reveal anything until Tomorrow.

[Nogrod]

I think Mänwe might be more a cobbler than Garin a were-faithful. But hard to say...

[Roa_Aoife]

Garin voters

TGWBS - first vote, put Garin in the running
Kitanna - second, put Garin in second
Rune - third, tied Garin with Rikae
Holby - fourth, tied Garin with Rikae
Durelin - fifth, put Garin in lead
Roa - sixth, no real impact on lynch

Holby's dead, and I can't analyze myself. So...

TGWBS, Day 1

1st post - doesn't like Day 1 banter, says innocents tend to get lynched for "spurious" evidence, banter with Kath, points out that suspicion tends to fall on the loud, lists the quiet, questions Nogrod, SPM, and Roa for Glirdan suspicion

2nd post - more banter with Kath, clarifies that the "prophesy" was a joke, and truly suspects for quietness

(For someone who says he doesn't like the banter, he's engaging in it quite a bit.)

3rd post - Accepts SPM's explanation for Glirdan, also retracts question to Roa, wonders why Durelin is worried about Glirdan but not Kath, also asks Nogord why he picked out Glirdan and not Kath, voting record, feelings on villagers: Innocent- Nogrod, SPM; Faithful- Mith, Manwe, Rikae; Slightly suspicious- Glirdan, Gil-galad, The Might; Wants to hear more from mith about gifted question, wants Rikae to explain her vote, wants Gil to explain his hunches

(Seems straight forward, but I wonder why he keeps hinting towards Kath. Also, with the voting record and lists, it feels like he's trying to beef up his post and make it seem more substantial than it really is.)

4th post - Disagrees with Holby, says mith's statement is we have to judge her on since it's all she's said

5th post - Asks Garin why he voted for Nogrod, thinks the only reason is, "If he were faithful, he would be dangerous."

6th post - tells Rikae he couldn't find her notice on the Admin thread, isn't convinced of either Rikae's or Mith's evidence, says Garin stands out the most, says we better get rid of him, Votes Garin, leaves for the Day

(Something about this last post seems... forced somehow. In fact, every post he's made is filled with the air of finality that I just don't like.)

Kitanna next....

[Durelin]

Wow, there were a lot more people around then I thought. I guess I jumped the gun thinking voting Garin was my only option. Argh.

[Mithalwen]

++Lalaith
since Rikae seems safe

[Lalaith]

I'm not at all sure about either Garin or Manwe, I think both too bold for wolvishness. Between the two I'm more inclined to go for Manwe as obviously our seer must be safe.

---HOLBY

+++MANWE

[Rikae]

It's not that bad - at least I'm not the ranger!

[Roa_Aoife]

Had a few moments and thought I'd check up on the end of the day.

Well, that's great.

I'll solve the dilema for you.

--SPM

++Garin

He's the one tied with Rikae, after all.

[Mithalwen]

Lalaith probably would be my choice since I can't decide about Roa and Spm. Usually Lalaith seems fine to me and now she doesn't. Every time I have played with her before seh has either been ordo of gifted. I think I may be playing a Lalith wolf for the first time. But I might be prejudiced.

[Mithalwen]

Quite... unless she has a wolf. We have one known innocent (assuming she is truthful and that is enough for a single ranger) . Assuming we don't manage to lynch the ranger

[Nogrod]

Okay. If there is someone still thinking I'll leave the door open as I think this more likely a hit to the baddies...

++ Mänwe

EDIT: X'd with Mith...

[Macalaure]

Long the Númenoreans debated their next step, even though some still seemed to be too shocked to talk much. It was clear to them that there were Faithfuls among them and therefore one of them had to die. But who should that be?

After much back and forth it was agreed that Garin should be lynched.

“But why me?” Garin asked shocked “I serve the Lord Melkor like the next of us. I cannot believe you doubt my faith and devotedness!”

“Well, we don’t really do that, to be honest,” answered the guy who be short “but your ways of worship seem strange to us, and, frankly, we don’t have anybody better.”

“But can you not see that this is madness!?”

“You see, Garin, it is an evil hour that puts such a choice on us, but we cannot help it.” said Kitanna “Prove your faith in Melkor by accepting your death as a thing inevitable and honourable!”

“What?? No way!”

But more he was not able to say. Silently Holbytlass took up her huge scythe and approached Garin from behind, and in this moment, with one skilled swing, she decapitated him and Garin lay dead at the villager’s feet.

“Search his body!” ordered Durelin, but all they found was a talisman that proved Garin’s belief in Melkor and Annatar, the god who is his prophet. Garin was no Faithful, but one of them.


Crestfallen the Númenoreans left the peak of Meneltarma and went back to their huts as the sun was setting and it was getting dark.

“Now that I get to think about it, couldn’t we have searched Garin before we killed him?” asked Hookbill, the Goomba, as they descended the hill.

“I think the way we handled it is a quite proven method. And if it works, I don’t see any reason to change it at all.” Roa answered composed.

Wolves, send me your kill. Seer, send me your dream. Ranger, send me your protectee. Hunter, send me your list. It would be best if you do so until about one hour before the deadline, so I have time to write the narration.
