Yeah, you had us fooled, too, the night Zali protected you. I started thinking Naria was the Shaman yesterDay, but I was afraid Zali would be protecting her, so I thought I'd get her out of the way first. By that point I knew the only way we'd win would be if I got the dream...

Hmm, I suppose all this is taking away from the suspense...

I retract my previous statements and reassert that I am not an orc!

I'm no orc! I play the harp, for goodness sake! I ask you, would an orc play a harp?

Farael has just left Hobbiton.
[b]The Grand Finale[/B] [I](It even comes with a song!)[/I]

So it happened, that many days after the death of Farael and after the hard endeavours of the Ranger and the Shaman the last wereorc was dreamt of. Celuien came forward declaring that Caranlondien was the last remaining wereorc. Naria confirmed not only her Shamanship (or Shamanerism, whichever you prefer) but also that Caranlondien had been chosen for the night’s dream and so the village prepared to lynch the last remaining foe in their midst.

Yet there was a slight inconvenience. It was not the end of the day yet, so technically they weren’t allowed to lynch anyone.

(Music starts playing….)

Charara-rara-rarará (tric tric tric) Charara-rara-rarará (tum-tric) Charara-rara-rarará

Everyone: Wooooooooooo!!!!

Caranlondien Alright you’ve gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you don’t mind
I’ll kill you all one at the time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?

Nogrod It’s always lies lies lies

Siempre - mintiendo y engañando

So I’ll be saying my good-byes

La verdad tu me estas hartando

SleepyRangerOn days you are fine on nights you are not

De dia bien de noche no

A monster that Eru forgot

Un monstruo que Eru olvido

NariaWell come on, what say you all?

Me tienen que decir

Should she stay or should she go?

Se debe ir o quedarse?

Everyone: Should she stay or should she go now?
Should she stay or should she go now?
If she goes there will be trouble
An’ if she stays it will be double
So come on and let us know
Should she stay or should she go?

Caran:This indecision’s bugging me

Esta indecision me molesta

If you don’t want me, set me free

Si no me quieres, librame

Tell me who I’m supposed to be

Digan me yo quien debo ser

Ain’t we all sons of the same god?

Somos hijos del mismo dios

Well, come on and let me know

Me tienes que decir

Will you lynch me or will you not?

Me lincharan o quisas no?


Everyone: Should she stay or should she go now?
Should she stay or should she go now?
If she goes there will be trouble
An’ if she stays it will be double
So come on and let us know
Should she stay or should she go?

Celuien: You should give up I dreamt of you

Ya no me jodas te soñe

If you don’t do it I’ll do it for you

Si no lo haces lo hare yo

Grendelien So this is it, how should it be?

Es el final, como lo haremos?

We have no rope to hang her with!

No nos queda ni una cuerda

So, I better ask you all

Yo pregunto esta vez

Should we lynch her, should we not?


EveryoneShould we lynch her, should we help her?
Should we lynch her, should we help her?
If we are good she might still kill us
But there’s no way from her to rid us
So you I ask ‘cos I don’t know
Should she stay or should she go?

Naria Suddenly interrupted the singing and dancing with a piercing scream that drew everyone’s attention to the task at hand

Naria with a piercing scream: SHE IS RUNNING AWAY!!!

Caranlondien was already half way to the village’s entrance and there was no one fast enough to catch her. She was sprinting like only really scared wereorcs can sprint (and that’s really fast) and so she dove head-first on to the exit, knowing that she’d be free as soon as she crossed the village’s walls. Yet she never crossed it. As it happened, because of an oversight, a certain lieutenant of Sauron, much weaker in were-thing lore than his master, devised a plan to force the village onto starvation. The door that Caranlondien was diving head-first through happened to be a weredoor, set in place to prevent vital resources coming into the village and thus effectively starving it. Yet the weredoor was only a door in appearance, as it was actually a rather strong wall. Let’s just say that after hitting the door running at full speed, the villagers had very little work to do on Caranlondien.

Survivers:
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Celuien:lampwright
Naria:The grower of magnificent flowers
Sleepy A barrel of apples


Non-survivers (or Death-ers, however you prefer to call yourself)
FaraelMod: He dyed… erm I mean died.
GlirdanRepentant werewolf : Choked on an apple. No wonder why werewolves are carnivores.
JennyHalluWereorc: Escaped the village, but could not escape the laws of physics.
Dancing Spawn...: Just a merchant: Trapped on a deathly spider’s web.
Kitanna:The town's gate-keeper: Had a lobotomy performed by an angry woodpecker.
Legolas in spandex: Legolass (A movie-Legolas impersonator): Overwhelmed and or frightened into leaving the village after seeing what had happened to Kitanna
Diamond: Simply a normal, very bad stone cutter - scared to death by orcs
Findëasëa: paleo-elf-tropologist: Lynched by a small margin.
Zali: stringer-of-bows (I owe you a death scene, I’ll do it as soon as I can)
Roa_Aoife aspiring ballad writer Shot down by Zali while trying to flee hanging
Caranlondien: aspiring harpist: Tricked by a weredoor. I bet that Sauron was wishing he had more palantir available to communicate with his lieutenants.

Congratulations villagers!! You have won this game

Also, commendations for the wereorcs on a game well played.

What about the apple barrel?

And yes Farael, that was indeed my plan. I picked Celuien since I was certain she wasn't the seer, to be honest I had no clue who it was. I never did actually think Naria was an orc and all I was trying to do when I randomly shoved accusations at her was make the orcs think that she'd get lynched and so leave her alone.

I think it was stupid of me not to suspect the only person who backed me on my vote for Naria! Odd that this got by even Noggie. Anyway, good game people. The Ranger and Shaman played brilliantly.

This fact amused me a great amount. The first night that I modded in place of Farael, it was so terribly tempting to have Roa and Caran come out and sing a lament together for Diamond - they were both aspiring musicians, for crying out loud! But I didn't think that would be entirely fair to the orcs.

Good game, everyone! Glad I could help mod it. It was enjoyable.

Question

OK Orcs, I can understand why you didn't kill Zali, although it was a risky strategy. But why didn't you kill off the virtually known innocents, like Sleepy and Nogrod, in her place?

The problem was, we didn't know who Zali would be protecting. Looking back, of course, I could kick myself for not doing just that, but at the time, it seemed like going for Diamond would be unpredictable. Also, we kept hoping we'd get the Shaman, and neither of us really thought Nogrod or Sleepy was the Shaman.

I think this scheming on both sides was just the thing that made this game so interesting. So as we tried to confuse the orcs by playing with Celuien's shamanship, they frustrated us by leaving Zali alive night after night. It really made the playing quite complicated to all involved - and so much fun!

Hello all, and yes I am your Shaman!!

I picked Caran last because I had this bitter taste in my mouth that I just couldn't get rid of no matter how much mouth wash I used.
