Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXIII: Journey to Hy Brazil - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

No bar aboard! And Glirdan's gone and drunk all the rum... What's a bartender to do? Lucky I've brought my own supply of spirits. So I'll be in the galley, serving drinks. I've an open ear, so feel free to confide any wolvish woes in me... I won't tell anyone, I swear!

Well, it was worth a try.

Oh, and I say we lynch Sir Potboiler's parrot, but not Sir Potboiler himself, as I suspect he'll be a regular customer.

Not enough sense on this ship to do much of anything if you ask me. Really we are wasting our time here, aren't we. Perhaps we should just lock everybody away in separate quarters and let me have control of this ship as I don't trust a one of you to get the job done, what with SpM's horrible talking goose. Whoever heard of such a beast. Maybe in Narnia but not here. I can only see good in eating that goose before I revert to savage cannibalism.

If Glirdan could utter a single intelligible sentence I might want to keep him around but I've got no use for a drunk on ship now.

Formendacil's pain and agony should be dragged out, death would be an easy escape for one his type. Thinks he's so high and mighty and yet stows away without paying proper passage. I say we demand he pay or we hang him too.

And Diamond fancies herself the Dread Pirate Roberta, well I'm sorry dear but that just doesn't sound dreadful to me. It sounds more campy and fun, but I'll take you seriously for a moment *snickering* well if you are the true dread pirate roberta those WW better be careful because their up against...*hysterically laughing* Oh I just can't do it. I can't possible take a pirate who calls herself Roberta seriously.

I'm not certain what Rune and Kath did to earn slavery but I'm sure they deserve it. In the event that we don't have a good suspect, they might make a good scapegoat and we could lynch them.

But

++Glirdan

I can't understand what that lad says and that is enough for me.

I see that we do have a few pirates around. And it's my job to make sure that these pirates get what they deserve: a short drop and a sudden stop.* But, seeing as we're at sea, our lovely plank will do well to replace our gallows.

Oh, Durelin, are you sure you're not using Shoten no Jutsu.

So, since lists are always so popular, I think I'll make one. And this is strictly for Day 1 usage. In no particular order:

Glirdan (For drinking all the rum.)
Caran (For breaking the No Swearing bi-law.)
Durelin (For using unnatural martial arts.)
JennyHallu (For being a pirate.)

Diamond almost made the list, but she's not a real pirate. And only real pirates automatically make the list. For now anyway.

*Sorry, but just watched Pirates of the Caribbean again the other day. And being on a ship has quotes coming out of my ears.

Whoops!

Disclaimer: In case anyone thought I was being serious, I will not refrain from passing on any werewolf-related information you choose to disclose to me. In fact, if, while drinking an excess of mead, you confide in me that you are a werewolf, I will scream "Wolf!" and help the rest of the passengers push you off the plank. Of course, I'll do all that after I've made sure you've paid your tab.

Darn law-suits, all those werewolves claiming breaches of patron-bartender confidentiality

Also, apparently I missed that Rear-Admiral Sir Whats-his-face's avian companion is not a parrot, but rather a goose. Which explains the honks. So I hereby amend my previous suggestion to be that we lynch the goose.

(returns Sir Horato Potboiler's friendly greeting with a cold stare)

SIR HORATIO: A scholar and a gentleman, and honoured by Her Majesty to boot. I'm rather taken with his shanty.

(Sir Anguirel draws his claymore)

SIR ANGUIREL: I am nary honoured one whit by yon English Queen, do ye here me, aye? I was dubbed a kneght by none aither than Alexander the Thaird, King of Scots, and serve Scotland and the True Kirk, and ye'll do best to remember it, aye. And that goes for yerrer footba team as well, Sassenach...

Excuse me, I tend to break into my native accent (or song) at moments of high emotion. Do forgive me.

I don't agree with Formendacil in the slightest and I feel shades of Nilp in a ballad told some time ago of murderous ducks.

Incidentally...(stares curiously at Sir Horatio's goose, and crosses himself solemnly)

As for yon pirate scum, I am with the Englishman on that account. Put them to the sword, I say. Yet we should remember that werewolf spirits do not necessarily lurk beneath scoundrel exteriors. Anyone-even sweet wee Lhuna-could house a tortured, fell spirit. I say we hang the wolves and then deal with any remaining pirates. All the more combat, and I relish it, yearghhh...

And the fine upstanding slave-driver, he and I got acquainted over whisky. I'll not hang a fellow resident of Alba...

Lhunardawen · 06-21-2006, 12:56 AM

*leans over the ship's railings and baaaaarfs*

Sweet indeed, Sir Anguirel. Would you rather not say sour? All this *barfs* is getting to me. But to business...

Firefoot and Gurthang are the Lovers. This open, mutual understanding of 1 Corinthians 13 is their way of hiding out in the open. Firefoot's the wolf, and she will be the bane of us all unless she is lynched.

Her fellow wolves are Fin, Taliesin, and Friedrich Engels. But no one will care toDay, because what everyone wants is to get that kilt-wearing slavedriver lynched. Like this:

++EOMER OF THE ROHIRRIM

After mourning his innocence, the passengers will commence with lynching the pirates one by one because ninjas are cooler than pirates!

*tries to run away from Roberta and her protégé but stumbles on her non-sea legs and is caught by...*

Rune Son of Bjarne · 06-21-2006, 05:04 AM

*starts singing, pretty much without a consistend melody*

The world is full of beautiful women, It is driving me insane, even when they are not near. The thought about women disappear When you live as many years as a slave as I, you start thinking of:

Roquefort and emmentaler, gorgonzola,
I will give Anything for feta!
Brie or camembert,
Or what smells even worse old cheese from Crete
Cheese, I want cheese, I must have cheese!

*mumbling*
I am not sure I like that Horato Parboiled at all. . .

++EOMER OF THE ROHIRRIM

He is an evil slave driver who, keeps all chesse to him self. He forgets that all wealth is the product of labour!
Hey who said that? Those are not my words!

(I am not sure wether I will return later or not, hence the early vote)

Taliesin · 06-21-2006, 05:25 AM

Good morning, my fellow lost ones. Just got out of my cabin and you're already shouting about this werewolf thing again eh?

Let's not jump to conclusion about my past shall we? I might have committed a few crimes here and there in the past, but with all these pirates around, it's a possibility I'm not even the worst!
Y'all should leave the poor slave driver alone, a man's got to make a living one way or another. Frankly, that slave with all his mumbling and singing about cheese seems like a fella I wouldn't trust at all. Never trust a man who prefers cheese over woman, I say.

Mr. Rear-Admiral Horatio Potboiler, quite a mouth full, there's something about he and gooses that make me don't trust him.. at all.

Glirdan · 06-21-2006, 05:52 AM

I have returned and I feel a lot better with only the odd hic! Now, to try and get what I said earlier across... Lynch Kath! She's a plotting hic slave! Who knows if she's plotting to kill us!? Hic! How do we know she's not a Wolf in a slave disguise and is really plotting to kill us when she says she's plotting to escape!? Lynche her! Hic!

++Kath

Gurthang · 06-21-2006, 05:57 AM

Taliesin seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Which means I'll be watching him. Being new and smart makes it likely he'll survive for much of the game, and if he happens to be a wolf then that's bad. So watch him, I will.

I see Eomer's got two votes already. They seem almost odd, though, for some reason I can't really pinpoint. I was completely expecting Eomer to get a lot of votes. Maybe it's just them being back to back. Although, if we are going to lynch Eomer, we should do so sooner rather than later. If he's a wolf, he always (and I do mean always) manages to wiggle out of getting lynched later in the game. Basically, if he's not lynched early, he won't be lynched at all... which is very bad for us if he is a lycan.

I'll be back just before the deadline to cast my vote.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-21-2006, 07:06 AM

Durelin might find this interesting.

As for the matters at hand, I shall present my case against Eomer . . .

Oh, who am I kidding? I'll just vote for myself!
