WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[wilwarin538]

It's done. Stop please. Narration soon.

[the phantom]

By not voting until two minutes left, Inzil, you possibly lost your chance to save me despite me being a revealed innocent. Why hold votes so long, people? Honestly.

Nerwen's vote for the phantom doesn't count, she did not retract her Gaurcrist vote.

Damn it!

[Nerwen]

Well, give me a good death scene, please.

As the sun moved slowly down and down, the villagers began to gather in the center of their town. The day had been full of confusion and reveals, the votes all cast quickly in the very last minutes. After the tally was taken and all was put into consideration the phantom was the one who was going to perish that day.

The villagers gathered around him and began to lead him towards the gallows, a walk they could now probably do blindfolded. When they were but a few feet away the phantom turned around and faced them all.

"You're all making such a big mistake." he said, looking them each in the eye as he spoke. "But I atleast I won't be going down alone."

He walked around the little half circle formed around him until he stopped at the villager he had chosen. Nerwen stared back at him, looking a bit confused.

"You." the phantom said before quickly pulling out a knife and stabbing Nerwen in her side. There was a moment of surprise as everyone watched this, not knowing what to do. Then there was a howl.

Suddenly Nerwen, just a small little thing, began to grow. She got larger, hair appearing everywhere. A canine snout appeared, with large teeth. Large ears sprouted from the top of her head. She was definitely one big bad wolf.

"That hurt." The Big Bad Wolf growled before pouncing at the phantom. The villagers all backed away as the fight grew more and more intense.

The phantom pulled out his trusted axe and swung full force at the giant wolf, who was actually very quick for his large size. The fight drew on for long minutes. But finally the phantom was able to get in the death blow and the Big Bad Wolf was defeated. The villagers rushed over to their hunter to find that he had been wounded.

"Told you guys you were making a mistake." he mumbled, as his eyes began to droop. "How will you all manage without me?"

With those final words he closed his eyes and was gone. Eomer stayed behind as the rest walked back to their homes, all feeling far more vulnerable but glad that the baddies numbers were dwindled.

It is now Night 7. No more posting.

Just as a note: the next phase will only be 23 hours long, I have to end it early. So the next Day will start at 9 am EST (instead of 10am like it is now), so back to the old deadline for a while. I'll let you all know if it changes back.

Oh, a little note cause I'm sure people will be confused. I didn't miscount votes, keep Hansel and Gretel in mind.

[wilwarin538]

(So 2 hours early instead, hope nobody minds, I'll let you know later today when this Day will end. This will not be the best narration ever, I'm in a bit of a rush)

The few remaining villagers awoke and gathered in the town square. It became obvious very quickly that Lari was the one missing today. They gathered close together and walked to her little shop. She lived in a little apartment above her fortune telling shop.

They climbed up the stairs and walked into her little home. After a quick walk through they came to the little kitchen. Lari owned a small old fashioned stove, the kind that required wood inside to heat it up.

The little door was open and it was pretty easy to see that that was where she was. Eomer was not needed today, so they all left together to begin the discussions.

Day 7 starts now. You may discuss.

[Kath]

What does it mean Eomer was not needed toDay? I do hope you are here Eomer but even if you are I don't know that we can win now. McCaber, Gaurcrist and Inzil must now all be evil and if we lynch the Cobbler rather than a wolf we lose.

[Inziladun]

First things first. Sorry about that, phantom. I feel an explanation of my vote is necessary.
When I signed off on Day 6 to go to bed, I had every intention of being back at least a couple of hours before deadline to read and discuss. Needless to say, it did not work out that way. I woke up about 15 minutes before DL and hurried to read the latest.
I first saw Kath's vote for me, which honestly, didn't appear to me to be any more solid than my earlier vote for her, but oh well.
I also noted Lari had revealed as Gretel.
I read as phantom exhorted eveyone to hurry up and vote. Now, I was still unsure about him, but I was leaning toward giving him a pass for at least one more Day. Then he said this:

Well, I wouldn't mind lynching Nerwen if I can get everyone to help.

If not, then I'll settle for anything else besides me being lynched.

Now that seemed to come out of the blue, as I didn't recall him voicing any serious suspicion of her recently. And what happened next? McCaber immediately latched on. That appeared to be an awfully sudden bandwagon, and that was what pushed me at the last minute to vote phantom.
I saw his claim that Mira had left a clue verifying his Huntsman status, but there was simply no time to verify that before time ran out.
Honestly, I think that even if I had been there discussing for the previous hour and had already voted for someone else, I would have retracted and voted phantom, just because that last minute push for Nerwen seemed wrong. The fact that it turned out justified is irrelevant.
There it is. I'm sorry I helped do away with the phantom, but I didn't do it alone, and I don't see what else I reasonably could have been expected to think under the circumstances.
