Tol-in-Gaurhoth XLVII: Dueling Wizards Werewolf II

[Nogrod]

The Day has ended.

Nerwen will die shortly...

[Nogrod]

The boy sprang violently up from his chair. Tears were filling his eyes and his jaw was trembling.

“Herbert! What is it now my darling?” her mom asked startled.

“You all hate me! You’re just trying to get rid of me! And I know why!” His voice was breaking as he cried his words out.

“Now you listen to me young man! As long as I’m alive and the head of this family I will have none of that!"

The boy looked at the man his eyes full of hatred and fear. “You and your bloody war killed my father!” He turned around and ran off from the dinner table reaching for the door.

“Herbert! What are you talking about? Please come back my little boy!” her mom cried.

“You have just earned yourself a beating with that young man!” the man yelled after him but he had already gone slamming the door.

The boy ran through the deserted fields which no one had cared to sow this spring. The thunder of the artillery bombarding the enemy positions echoed from far away. The boy was already used to it not to pay any attention. But he did notice the absence of the birds. The blackbird which had its nest at the edge of the forest behind the fields was nowhere to be heard. He really loved its songs. They were the only comforting sounds he knew. But there was neither the swallow that used to go round the field chirping its simple tones of joy he couldn’t bear.

It was only by the deserted trench the boy stopped for a moment to glance backwards. No one was following him. What did I say? He thought to himself and jumped down to the trench. He followed the winding trench until he reached the old pillbox. It was pitch dark inside but he knew the way. He pulled a drawer open and picked the candle and matches as he was accustomed to.

When there was a faint light in the damp and cool bunker he finally sat down at the table and opened another drawer. There was a metal-plated box in there which he pulled out and set on the table. With shaking hands he opened it and drew the wooden figurines out laying them carefully on the table.

He had made them all himself, carved them from sticks during the cold winter nights in the bombshelters or in the darkened and joyless rooms they had hid from the air-raids or then later here in the pillbox which he had found earlier this spring.

Now they were all ready. He produced the drawing from the drawer and laid it on the table as well. It was a picture of a village with houses and yards, trees and paths, a wall and a central square. He set the figurines carefully to the map and then looked at his achievement quietly pleased with himself. Now they will all pay… he thought to himself. You will all die…


He remembered the autumn day back when he was yet a child. Her grandma had given him a mug of her own applejuice and watched over him as he draught it with a little boy’s enthusiasm. Then she had just stated bluntly “You know the dad of yours, he’s not actually your dad. He’s a vermin, a devil in disguise. That’s what he is. He made sure your father was ordered to the front, to the tightest place. My son never got out from there alive. And then this snake crawled to your mom’s bedroom using the cover of giving official regrets on behalf of the country! You believe it young man! He’s as foul as that… You should kill him when you’re old enough to do it. My hands are too weak and my feet too slow for it anymore – and your mom will never tell you the truth. They should hang that hussy as well.”

Do away with that tart! Rot in hell!

The boy squeezed the figurine of her mom in his small hands until it snapped in two.

The elders had sat on the Tavern-table listening to the row around them sipping their cider. They were shaking their heads listening to the younger ones.

“The young…” Greenie sighed.

Shasta nodded. “So fresh and soo full of energy…”

“Why don’t we just hunt both, the evil wizard and her minions? Now what is it with you?” Volo asked aloud and there was a silence. Everyone was looking at each other trying to find someone to blame for that ridiculous argument.

“And please Legate and Mac, behave yourselves!” Izzy added using the opportunity.


"It's Nerwen. Believe me! I don't want to incur the wrath of Roa and her ilk. And I have reasons to lynch her" Cailín said aloud.

"I don't have much time personally to explain it, but yes she is the one." echoed McCaber.

"I said earlier that Cailín had been talking sense, and her case against Nerwen echoed many of the thoughts I've been having. Enough pondering, it is time to act." added Lalaith.

Durelin broke in: "Right now I find Nerwen's speeches and behavior the most suspicious and I actually have a sort of gut feeling about her that's not good. I'll vote for her as well."

"I will be trying harder to listen to what you say from now on..." Diamond said. "And for my part, if I would rather not see the person in the lead get lynched, it makes more sense to vote for an alternative despite having no opinion on that person, herself". Her vote made Nerwen to pass the phantom.

"I don't like this but I'll vote for Nerwen as well..." Aganzir said.


The phantom sighed with relief as well as Agan who had gained a lot of votes late in the Day.

"Let's burn her!" Cailín yelled. "Death to the murderer of my husband!"

"Let's just rob her of her belongings" McCaber said giving a grin.

"We should burn her as Cailín says" added Lalaith.

"Let's not be too modest. Let's nail her to the oak-tree!" called Durelin.

"It's just the same... kill her... I don't want to see tp die anyhow." Di said grasping the hammer.

"And if you're thinking about killing me... then no way. Let's nail Nerwen first to see what she is." Aganzir said calmly and took the nails.



Nerwen was nailed to the oak-tree but nothing happened. She just waned little by little by no fault of her own. Some grinned with delight for that.

[Nogrod]

”Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!”

The nanny woke up to the scream and hasted herself. She rushed through the ante-chamber and past the corridor. Finally she reached the heavily bolted door and unbolted it. She pushed her mightiest to force the heavy door open as fast as she could.

“What is it my child? I’m coming!” She yelled as she forced the door open and ran into the room.

The girl was sitting in her lavish bed sweating all over. She was trembling violently trying to gasp for air.

“My love! What is it? There’s no harm! … Everything’s fine now!” The nanny tried to calm the girl taking her into her arms and pressing her tightly towards herself.

“The people are dying!” she cried and trembled even if the nanny held her tight in her embrace.

“Cool down my love! I’m here! Nothing’s wrong.” the nanny tried to sooth the girl swaying her gently to and fro.

“Everything’s wrong!” the girl protested and jerked herself off from the nanny’s grasp.

“They are killing each other! Something makes them do that!” She screamed in anguish. “Believe me! I saw it!”

“Cool down my child… No one is killing anyone here…” The nanny tried to grasp her again but she ducked away to the other corner of the great bed.

“You don’t know it but I have seen it!” the girl cried escaping from the nanny’s arms that tried to reach her.

“What is it? Who is killing who?” she asked giving up the pursuit.

The little girl halted and went silent. The nanny tried to read her face but it was empty of any feeling. The girl just stared into nowhere.

“What is it my darling?”

She swallowed her tears and straightened her back. Then she looked like concentrating hard on something.

“The men killed an innocent woman in the evening nailing her into a tree because some beasts had killed two of them. And now those beasts killed two again. And there's this woman from whom everything is ripped off so violently. I know they’re going to kill someone for revenge again. And it will not stop until they’re all dead.”

“You’ve had a nightmare my dear Edelfried. In your father’s lands there are no beasts killing people or lynching mobs. There is the court and justice and men at arms to enforce it.” The nanny looked at the girl and shook her head and sighed. She had raised a host of children and this wasn’t the first time someone had nightmares. “Now you get back under your quilt and I’ll change the coals and bring you a mug of hot blackcurrant with honey. You’ll forget that dream when the morning comes.”

The old woman rose up and straightened her nightgown. “Fresh dreams kill the old… That’s what my grandma used to say. And she was a wise woman. A healer she was… mother of nine children and a guardian for a host of grandchildren. Believe me, she knew things better than you or I.”

Edelfried watched the old woman go and then jumped off from the bed. There was a blackbird singing outside. She went to the window and tried to catch it with her eyes. It was still dark but she could identify the shapes of the walls and houses downhill. The silhouette of the mountains was clearly darker than the surrounding countryside. A tiny dark shape of a wheeling swallow caught her eyes and she followed its dashes and dives in the slowly creeping morning.

There must be a way to stop it! There must be a way… I know it. I can stop it…


*~*

“Grandpa is dead! Grandpa is dead!” Legate ran through the empty courthouse still shaking all over. He had been bringing his grandpa his usual morning tea walking through the empty hall when he had found him laying face down on the front door of the courthouse in a pool of blood. Legate ran up the stairs to the wing they slept. “Grandpa is dead!”

Roa came from the bedroom she had slept alone for a first time in months. And this time his husband had not flaked out in the tavern or been on a trip to neighbouring village. Roa was not sure she could manage the pain of her son’s words.

“Ring the bells! And go wake your sister! ” She ran past her son and hurried downstairs.

Roa rushed to her father-in-law and bent down to his torn corpse unable to believe what she saw.


“Kit is not here!” Legate ran down his voice breaking off. “Kit has vanished!”

Roa was not sure she could take it any more. She fought bravely the tears but her hand was shaking when she pointed to the open door. “Go call your uncle… Go call everyone!”

Legate rushed out from the door calling alarm as he went. Only to suddenly fall silent.

Roa noticed the sudden silence. There were no cries neither the sound of a rushing pair of feet anymore to be heard.

Then there was the sound of the steps coming backwards, very slowly.

“Mom? … Mom? She’s out here…” Legate walked the steps up to the doorway and stared emptily to the wall in the back of the hall.

Roa felt she could die. How much must a woman take? The werewolves kill my husband, you lynch my niece and then I lose both my daughter and my father-in-law!

She rose slowly from her father-in-laws torn body to embrace her son... and to stay upright herself as she felt her knees were failing her. The mother and son embraced each other shaking wildly.

“Wh-whh-at is it? Wh-hhat happened to her? Why is she not here?” Roa felt she was going to faint.

Legate felt he should act like the man in the house as he now was the only one.

“Let’s not talk of that mummy? She’s… she’s dead.”


The villagers had heard the bells and Legate’s calls. One by one they gathered in front of the courthouse learning the evil tidings.

Morm had come to see his dead father and had turned his torn body around.

“Oh noooo!” he cried out.

All went silent and every pair of eyes and ears were tuned into his direction.

Brinn had been standing behind morm to see her grandpa and saw the same. “They have pulled his eyes off… what savagery!”

There was a disquieting silence.

“My father was our seer… the one the swallow tried to help us with.” said Lalaith slowly her voice breaking in the end.

Feel free to talk.

[Diamond18]

Naturally, the EW is from Greenie's family thus the wanton killing of everyone from Volo's side of the gene pool. I say we lynch everyone who is a descendant of Greenie and Shasta!

Oh wait... they're my grandparents.

Scrap that. Obviously the EW is from Volo's family and wants to frame the Greenie/Shasta line!

Wow. So after spending three hours reading over the entire 5 page post-a-thon, this is the more brilliant stuff I can come up with. That's a dissolute wax addict for you.

I'll be posting more toDay. You may wish I wasn't, but hey.

Phantom, why didn't you vote yesterDay? You were the last to post before the deadline but never voted. That's just bizarre.

So there were several mini-rows yesterDay. The Roa/tp row, the Legate/Mac row, the Cailin/Nerwen row. As I recall. When reading over the thread I felt the Roa/tp row to be a lot of bangs and whimpers with not a lot of... anything. Seemd like classic Day1 "There's not much to go on" debating about the proper way to play the game. Legate/Mac was entertaining, but nothing overly suspicious pinged me about it.

I found myself coming down on the Cailin side of the Caillie/Nerwen row. Possibly because I like Cailin's list post and found it better reading than the umpteenth "No THIS is how we should all be playing" post. Sure, lists can misdirect, and may not tell you much about the village, but they tell you a lot about the person making the list. Whether they're lying, joking, or killing time, I don't think they're a horrid "waste of time." (Stats, on the other hand, make me snore. Sorry, bro.)

Of course, Nerwen proved innocent, so obviously Cailin is EEVVVIILL. Plus she's tenuously connected to the Greenie/Shasta brood which proves either one of my points completely.

Hey, don't laugh, if I was the EW (and btw, I have loads and loads of time on my hands, I'm eleven after all) I'd play around with the roles, just because all the serious players will be going, "No that's SILLY."

At any rate, I'll try to live up to your assessment of me, Cail, my sort of a distant aunt by marriage. Too many offenses to last past Day4. I loved it. Haha. (I think I've only ever been lynched once though, in all the many games I've played.)

[Diamond18]

Forty minutes past the deadline and I'm the first post? Hnuh?

I'll never beat the 5 page Day 1 stat on my own. I mean I could try but things would get really schizo. I'd have to start creating make believe players, Diamond01, Diamond02, and so on. (The EW is Diamond06, and the GW is Diamond07, btw.)

[the phantom]

Phantom, why didn't you vote yesterDay?

Where in the rules does it say you have to vote?

I see a posting requirement, but no voting requirement.

Anyway, last night didn't go too well. But seriously it could've been worse. WWs killing the Seer isn't nearly so bad in this stage of the game.

Day 2s are much better than Day 1s. We actually have kills and such to look back at!

Here are some quick thoughts on yesterday-

1) What's with the Lommy-Agan thing? Surely there's something to it?

2) Roa is innocent I believe. At least she was yesterday.

3) I'm a bit suspicious of Shasta.

4) Every time I reread things I completely flip positions on Legate.

5) Green looks pretty good.

6) I think Sally was probably innocent yesterday.

7) I'm not sure what to think of Dur and Ka exactly, but I kind of like them.

8) Some people need to talk more.

That's all I really have time for. I have to leave right away. I'll only be gone for two or three hours though. See ya.

Did I ask about the rules?

I see a posting requirement, but no voting requirement.

Which completely avoids my question... and makes erroneous assumptions about my reasons for asking it. I was interested in your reason for not voting, not whether or not you technically had to.

But little matter, since you answered Ka. Or rather, elaborated on her hypothesis.

Bored with that topic, now.

Perhaps I'll make a list. I have no idea what to put on that list, though. Oh wait --

What Diamond Thinks:

1. Volo was the seer.
2. He voted for Aganzir.
3. Aganzir is evil!
4. Lynch her! Dance in her blood!
5. Volo probably didn't dream about her, anyway.
6. But I do so wish for a good blood-dance.

I'll be back.

[THE Ka]

Volo, the guy who knows everything about staying alive, the gaffer (Father of Nogrod, morm, Nerwen and Lalaith); The seer mutilated and eyes pulled off on Night2.

No worries, I've been silently reading everything and reverting back to my old observe habit. I think others still have to show up as of yet, or they are catching up as I was.

They also help to muck out widely held suspicions and give the atmosphere of different players' tensions on matters, or help with predictions on the way the tide will go. After having to read ten posts at a time, I think that in this respect they are useful.

tp not voting is interesting, but if I was runner up to being killed I don't think I would be so eager to do so much either. YesterDay was particularly random as first Days go, but I hope that does give us something to analyze considering how we're short a seer now (psst GW, find it in your heart to make another seer toNight, pretty please? We're 'kind of' dying here). After reflecting on the bandwagons of yesterDay, at least they are pretty defined near the end and should tell something at least.

Okay, that's all for now from me, obviously I have more reading to do. (There Di, someone else said something, but not much. ).

Ummmm, I mean, silly father of mine. Perhaps you need some sleep? I could fetch you some tea....special tea....Hold up. Who's laughing maniacally in the distance?

[Thinlómien]

Okay, hello everybody, I'm finally here. (I was just planning to go to see friends after school but we got an ex tempore idea to go to see Blackmore's Night live, so I only got home now.) Now I will dedicate the rest of the evening (night?) to this game, starting with a massive reading process...

Did not vote: Nilpaurion, Lhuna, Kath, the phantom

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

Heh, almost half of the village received at least one vote...

As stated yesterDay, I don't like the tp and particularly Nerwen bandwagons. I didn't notice that tp hadn't voted until Di pointed it out. I'm not sure what to think on the fact that he intentionally chose not to...

More thoughts about the voting yesterDay will come in another post..

It's certainly a shame to see Volo die...obviously the gaffer who thought he knew everything about staying alive really didn't as he didn't even make it past Night 2. It doesn't really help us that he was a seer; the only dream he had was last Night and now only the GW will know the result of that.

So why were Volo and Kitanna killed? My first thought is that it was simply because they weren't very suspicious.

Anyways, more thoughts to come later...

[Aganzir]

The only person Volo didn't say he was uncertain of was Legate, who also was his another voting candidate.

I guess we have no way to get to know for sure whom he dreamed of, but based on that I'm pretty confident it was Legate. Another option is that he didn't leave any hints, but even though the GW shares the information he had, I can't see any sense in that.

Kitanna looks more like a random kill that leaves few tracks.

I had a bad gut feeling (mind you, morm voted for her based on gut feeling and she found it ok) about Brinniel and found a quote of hers suspicious, and then all of a sudden I was the best lynching candidate she had. I'll try to elaborate more on her tomorrow, but there's really something that makes me uneasy.

Something's definitely wrong with Lommy. She looks like she had deliberately decided to suspect me from the very beginning (my first IC post doesn't quite sit right with you, huh?), and after that she keeps increasing her suspicion, but the way she at the same time agrees with me & says it's fine for her if I'm kept alive looks plain sinister. She looks like she were toying with me and I don't like it.
She should just know better.

The way phantom seemed/seems to be dominating the discussion makes me feel uneasy.

Legate & yesterday's voting. If that wasn't suspicious, nothing is.

But there are still other options which I had earlier... hm.

"I want to jump the bandwagon as there's even a chance she'd be lynched (and she suspects me) and now I must explain it to everybody so as not to look I was indeed just jumping in the bandwagon!"

I'll go to sleep now, back in the morning.

edit: xed with Brinn

Well, looks like we can narrow down the EW/Wolves to good guessers, eh?

So stop mentioning ____ and making ____ feel he is at the center of attention.

But...I do agree with him on "what's up with the you and Lommy thing", though I'm not sure what to think. I had suspicion of you yesterDay, but looking back over some Lommy posts, I find it interesting that she does seem to use her knowing you as much to her advantage as possible. But Aganzir's votes for Nerwen wasn't necessary to save herself, and she had stated she did not want to vote for Nerwen. Of course, coming down to the wire, if she was not sure of the count...

Oh, before I forget - Brinn was quite right and I was quite silly yesterDay. When I came back about 40 minutes before the deadline I really...skimmed the posts posted while I was away. I totally missed your stuff about Aganzir. I kept thinking you had only posted twice, as you mentioned in your one post. Of course that was your third post...and I didn't read it all. Oh if Boro were here...

Yeah, I need to go back and read, cause it won't all be re-reading...

Bingo. Since I was at risk, I was holding my vote till the very end.

And then the end arrived, and I was wondering if the late Agan bandwagon would charge all the way to the front to tie with Nerwen and I, and so I was deciding who I should vote for out of those two. Like I said I thought that there had to be something going on with with Lommy and Agan and was thinking that I might want to vote that way just to see if anything turned up. Ner went ahead and I felt slightly safer but still felt like I might have to choose between the two, and next thing you know Nog posted.

I actually had my vote typed out and everything (it was for Nerwen but I had Agan's name ready to paste just in case) and was ready to post it in the final seconds, but when I refreshed my other window I saw that Nog had already posted so I figured I wouldn't bother.

My question about the voting is this- did the WWs or EW even have to bother worrying about anything?

Nerwen was innocent.

I am innocent.

So there was not really a need to mount a late lynch campaign to save anyone. The WWs were free to toss their votes away.

In addition, I doubt the WWs would've even known who to save. I can't see any way the EW has told them about each other.

It is certainly possible that the EW gave them some sort of "safe lynch list" or something, but how would we really pick that out?

The only scenario that I can think of in which there might have been saving going on is if Nerwen was on the safe list and I wasn't, but I don't think that is very likely- unless the EW was wanting to make me a WW later.

Which would be smart of course. *nudge nudge wink wink* Guarantee victory for the Wolves, it would.

Okay, like I said earlier I keep flip-flopping on Legate, and I am continuing to do so. But the fact that he did enough for me to even form an opinion on him is enough for me to want to keep him around for a bit.

That's a typical Day 1 if I am in the village.

Ha ha ha!

Okay, I went back and read over some people.

Eonwe is confusing. He comes in and gets onto Roa for criticizing Sally for voting for me and then voting for me herself, and then he votes for me.

Next, I feel pretty good about morm after yesterday.

But I think he was wrong about Brin. Her reactions and such seem pretty good after rereading her posts.

*chuckles* Phantom, you're always like this, aren't you?

Sorry, just felt like saying that. Back in a sec with timed voting records and some commentary on the night kills. *mutters about Volo and Kit, especially Volo....blankity blank werewolves!!!!*
