Leaf Day 4 Narration

In the beginning, things could not have gone much worse for the village. Lynch after lynch turned up just another wrongly accused villager. Then a glimmer of hope, even if it cost the loss of the seer, the Beast Hunter had booby trapped her home, which caught one of the werewolves.

With this new information and knowledge came a new hope. Would the villagers be able to capitalize on this new found fortune? How would they put this information to use?

"Why not spend the day arguing different messages from the dead?" decided many of them.

The dead looked on and waited.

"How about we realize the dire situation and focus on voting to lynch a werewolf?" said Shasta.

The dead looked on and waited.

"No, we need to make sure they get a clear message of what we want." argued others.

The dead looked on and waited. And as the day approached to an end they came to a decision.

It was Shasta's voice that spoke and everyone went quiet. "Isn't it obvious? ++Macalaure"

"What the devil are the dead trying to tell us?" questioned all the villagers. "This puts us in a tie!"

"I think that means I'm lynched?" said Mac "If I'm following this blasted thing correctly."

"++SHASTA!" came Nilp running and huffing and puffing. "SORRY! I fell asleep! But did I make it!"

That was enough for the village, right in the nick of time to let go of Mac and send Shasta to the gallow.

"Welp I tried" declared Shasta.

An ordinary villager was lynched.

Leaf Night 5

Nothing short of a miracle would manage to save the town now. They had their best chances the previous day and still failed to lynch a wolf. Each Day was villager after villager.

In the House of Nilpaurion, he was not able to sleep. After sending Shasta to the gallow he had been pacing throughout his house all night. All his traps and contraptions and devices were destroyed in sorrow and anger.

In another part of town the 3 werewolves plotted who they were going to kill tonight. Was Nilpaurion the surest kill? They were prepared for any of his traps now, but perhaps the Ranger had not protected him the previous night.

"We have to avenge Legate!" growled one of the werewolves.

"We are this close to victory." said another. "Shouldn't we think about if he's protected tonight? We must keep our heads and not think of irrational revenge."

"No he's pretty much a confirmed innocent. And he's already killed one of us, which makes him the most dangerous." said the last. And so it was decided.

The wolves busted down the doors of Nilp's house. They all brought some shields and hid behind them when busting down the door, just in case if that nasty Beast Hunter had booby trapped the door. Nothing happened.

After breaking in the wolves looked around and saw the house was destroyed. Every cup and possible device for a trap was destroyed. They began calling for Nilp. "Oh Nilp? Beasty...beasty...beasty?" they called as if they were trying to summon a dog. "We have a message from Legate we'd like to deliver." They were really hoping to rub it in his face.

All through the house they looked. And when they finally got to the last room. To their shock, Nilp was lying on the floor with a sword in his hand. He had ran on his own sword.

"What the...?" said the confused wolves. "That's plain not fair!"

One of the werewolves picked up the note. on the table.

"I am of the House of Felagund. Though my pride has fallen, I will not allow myself to be taken by the likes of you for your pleasure. May my spirit find peace and rest! ++Nilp

"We've been Nilp'd!" protested the wolves. Though this soured their night, they still knew, their victory was close at hand.

It is Day 5. Village is in quite a bind and in need of a miracle, but a Fool's hope remains.

With 9 dead members. A vote of 5 is required for a Medium.

Are you telling me you think Rikae isn't the cobbler?

If that's true, then I'm glad someone else needs to facepalm as hard as me after this game

After reading through all the previous days again, one person stands out.

One who has not only contributed to, but actively pushed for all four unjust lynchings of innocent villagers!

One who was never useful or productive, who stirred controversy and confusion with every post.

That one must die!

++Rikae

(Besides, do you realize how bad it is for an ecosystem when you kill off all the apex predators? Without our majestic wolves, we would be overrun with prey animals, and Greenwood the Great would turn into a barren wasteland!)
