WW XC: Lord of the Rings 2: The Quest For More Money - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That night, the three actors debated who to kill listlessly. They'd agreed that they had to keep going now. Even if they'd tried to back out, the other actors would kill them the moment they found them. They had no choice but to kill again toNight. They made their choice quickly. No one really wanted to argue, and they all agreed that the sooner they got this over with, the better.

But when they arrived at the trailer, they found someone else waiting for them.

"Is that a...ski mask?" one of the murderers asked.

"You notice the ski mask first?" another said. "Instead of, say, the machete?"

"I have access to the props department," the Ranger explained.

"Yeah, yeah, got that, but...why not a sword, or a bow, or something cool?"

"I don't know how to use those."

"And you know how to use a machete?"

"I once killed a snake with one. Long story."

"And...you're not going to let us past."

"That'd kind of defeat the purpose of getting all suited up like this, wouldn't it?"

The third murderer shrugged. "You could always join us."

"Put those machete skills to good use," added the second.

"I've already got a use," the Ranger said, swinging wildly at the murderers.

"Pity," the first murderer said, walking backwards into the shadows. "This could've been a lot more fun. I suppose we'll have to kill you eventually."

The Ranger looked around. The murderers had faded into the shadows. "Wait!" he yelled suddenly, realizing that he still didn't know who they were. "Come back!"

But the only answer he got was a quiet laugh, so quiet he didn't know for sure whether or not he'd imagined it.

That's interesting, they must have gone for the revealed Eomer (are you doing the uncloaking now!? Unkilting?

), who was thus protected. I thought the wolves would have wanted to go down more honorably as I had Shasta on my night hunt, for whatever it's worth.

Bom Tombadillo · 07-31-2011, 06:28 PM

So . . . either the wolves planned for the Ranger protecting the fake-revealing Eomer and attacked one of their own,

OR

Eomer is really the Seer and Nerwolf and Shastanis Wolfthreduin need to die,

OR

the wolves attacked somebody entirely different, who the Ranger protected. This is pretty much the least likely of the three after Eomer's reveal as Seer.

Galadriel55 · 07-31-2011, 07:34 PM

Oi! I was slow yesterday! Commenting about shouting about the Seer after a reveal!

Nice job, Ranger! Now, however true or false the reveals happen to be, you know one innocent...

Now, back to business. How likely are the options Bom listed?

a)Eomer is a fake-revealing wolf whom the wolves went after and the Ranger protected:

There is a chance that Eomer is a fake revealing wolf. However, if that is the case, I think that the intended target was not him but someone else altogether. If the victim-to-be was Eomer, the wolves probably thought that the Ranger would think that they would think the Ranger would protect Eomer and not protect him (what a brain-twister...), so they went for him. So did the Ranger.

The thing that really speaks for this argument is the slim chance of dreaming twice and getting 2 wolves - 100% efficiency! Pretty rare!

b) Eomer is the Seer who revealed Shasta and Nerwen as wolves:

The only way to prove it is to lynch one of them. Unless Eomer is the fake-revealing wolf described in (a) and revealed his packmates. Which could make things complicated.

c) The wolves and the Ranger had a target other than Eomer:

I also think this is the unlikeliest option. Whom? Not Boro (unless he's one of them, so then obviously not), since Eomer revealed two wolves, and one of them would be Boro's pick (which he says it was). Who else would be such a choice that both the wolves and the Ranger would pick them?

There is also the question that if Eomer really dreamed about Nerwen&Shasta and the wolves got scared - would they try to kill Eomer and thus doom two of them? However, it might save the last survivor. If they left Eomer alive, he might dream of the last wolf and hence leave no chances at all.

Bom Tombadillo · 07-31-2011, 07:37 PM

I agree totally, G55 - regardless, the best way to be sure is to lynch Nerwen or Shasta, since no matter what happens, we have at least one known wolf.

That's my plan.

OMG! Me and Bom actually agreed on something! What happened?

/kidding.

Now seriously. If the one that we lynch turns out to be a wolf, then the other is also. If not - Eomer is a fake revealing wolf.

Unless fake-revealing-Eomer revealed one wolf and one random innocent... uh-oh...

But I think the plan is still worth trying.

What do you others say?

Boromir88 · 07-31-2011, 08:03 PM

X'ed with G55. You're thinking too much in that post.

If Eomer is faking it then the real seer would be smart to step forward now. (Note though, that if you are Nerwen or Shasta I won't believe you.

)

Boromir88 · 07-31-2011, 07:59 PM

I'm not going to doubt Eomer's reveal at all, simply since it all fits together.

Remember my "apology" to the seer and Eomer replied how he thought the ranger would get a very good hint on who to protect next night. Then seeing as even though I said I would be placing him under closer watch, he was in absolutely no danger of being lynched. And a seer with 2 dreamt wolves, definitely a good time to come forwards.

I have no particular care for what order. I know Shasta said before he would be leaving on the big trip, so I doubt we'll be hearing from him at all, especially if he's an outed wolf. But that leaves Nerwen to mess around for a few days if she decides to want to have fun.

What we should get on with today is agree either lynch Nerwen or Shasta today. Get that settled and start looking for the 3rd wolfy.
