--

The villagers turned on Holbytlass, determining to kill her. Farael wisely leapt to fasten a gag over her mouth so that she could not whisper for the Oliphaunts to come to her rescue. Just before she was silenced Holby protested that Valier should be the one to die instead. Mac and Fintaeph agreed, but it was not enough. Jenny, Durelin, and Valier ignored the suggestion and joined Farael's cause.

"One, two, three, four votes for Holby," counted Jenny. "Eh eh eh eh."

Durelin struck a tragic pose, then struck Holby across the cheek with a pair of leather gauntlets. "I say we burn, burn, burn! the evildoer at the stake!" she cried, shaking one fist dramatically.

Valier agreed and proceeded to arrange the logs for the fire as the others lashed Holby to a pole.

Fintaeph, meanwhile, began to pace nervously and gnaw on his fingernails. From time to time he ventured, "Wouldn't you rather kill Valier instead?" But the others ignored him and went about their work, till finally the bonfire was ready.

"Fare thee well," said Durelin, lighting a match with thespian flare. She dropped it on the tinder and stepped back as the pile of wood burst into flame.

Holby made stressful noises from behind her gag, flailing as the fire snaked its way towards her. Just as it caught the hem of her dress and began to singe her flesh, Fintaeph gave a sudden cry of anguish that turned midway into a rageful screech. He leapt forward and took flight, rushing to snatch Holby up in his talons.

She was well-tied to the poll, however, and he was delayed for a few crucial moments as he sought to gnaw her bonds free with his beak. He got her free, but not before the hungry flames had raced up her body to catch hold of the Werebird's feathers.

The Elves watched in mingled horror and fascination as the Werebird rose from the flames, phoenix-like, and flew off into the desert with the still burning Holby in tow. Alas for the lovers, neither of them were the actual phoenix and instead of rising to new lives, they crashed and burned into a sand dune on the outskirts of the oasis.

After the light show the Elves retreated to their homes, oohing and aahing as they reflected upon the evening's entertainment. But they knew that evil still lurked in the shadows, so they bolted their doors soundly.

If only they all had the good sense to stay indoors.

Lommy awoke in the middle of the night and sensed something was amiss. She peered out her window and saw that her ostrich pen was empty, and gasped. For a moment she wondered if she should go out, but decided to throw caution to the wind. She donned a red hood and ran outside to see a stray ostrich frolicking in the moonlight. Lommy chased after it, but when she caught up with it, she noticed something strange.

"My, Ostrich, what big hairy feet you have," she observed.

"All the better to run away with," the Ostrich replied, coyly shuffling to the side.

Lommy was unable to resist a good chase. "My, Ostrich," she said as she followed it, "what big hairy ears you have!"

"Uh huh," said the Ostrich, luring Lommy into a dark alley. "Whatever."

"And my! Ostrich, what big teeth you have!" Lommy gasped.

"Bwah ha ha ha ha!" said the pseudo-Ostrich, and threw off its costume to reveal the menacing visage of the Werewolf. "All the better to eat you with!"

"Eeeeee!" cried Lommy, turning to run. But it was too late. The Werewolf chased her down and leapt upon her, growling triumphantly as it engulfed her in its massive jaws. There was a sickening crunching noise as the wolf softened her skeletal frame up, then came a noisy slurping as the flesh and blood went down. Finally, a burp.

An Elf came up and offered the wolf a napkin, running Elven hands threw wolfish fur and cooing, "Was she a tasty morsel? Is my love all full?"

JennyHallu sat back and sighed, "Ah, my MormyWolf, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways...."

Suddenly, this tender moment of sated hunger and mathematical affection was interrupted by a rumbling growl from afar. MormWolf snapped to attention. He crept to the end of the alley and looked both ways. Suddenly, he noticed a piece of trash lying on the street, and his wolfish ears perked up in indignation. He went to pick it up and put it in the trash, where such things belong, not cluttering up the street thank you very much!

As soon as that was cleaned up, he noticed another piece, and went to clean that up too. And then there was another, and another, and another! Morm ran from pile of rubbish to trash to pile of rubbish to trash, growling to himself about how he was going to eat each and every one of those filthy Elves.

As he was doing this, he heard a blood-curdling scream from back in the alley. He turned and ran back as fast as he could, but he was too late! When he reached the alley he found Jenny scattered about in little pieces, more pieces than even she could have counted.

He rocked back on his haunches and let loose a howl of agony. The Werebear had been and gone! Too late he realized that the trash was put there by the Werebear's lover to lure him away! Horror! Shock! Let this be a lesson to all neat freaks!

Anyway, Morm was devastated and lost all hope for life. The usual. He lay down amongst the pieces of Jenny and sighed his last. Not even the Ranger could save him from his own despair.

In the morning the Elves found him dead, and no one was quite sure if he had died of a broken heart or Lommy induced indigestion.

Farael · 11-01-2006, 09:45 PM

Ahhh I've been waiting all night to do this.... and now that even Morm has been proven to be a baddie, I feel even more compelled to say....

I told you so, I told you so, I told you so...

*ahem*

At least there are some good news now... our multiple-lovers game has just turned into a reduced werewolf game. There are TWO baddies working as a team and the rest of us are ordos. Is there a ranger around too? doesn't matter anyway, since we have no way of KNOWING who's an ordo other than ourselves (if we are ordos indeed).

Honestly, my next traget was going to be the Valier/Jenny combo, yet it is (obviously) not a good idea anymore

Now, here's an interesting idea... Diamond explicitly said that she would not go after the silent ones.... if we don't hear from Rikae today, what about we lynch her? I know she seems to be having RL issues, but unless someone else seems to be more lynch-worthy (me perhaps? c'mon, let's face it, you know that EVEN THOUGH I WAS DEAD RIGHT you still want to) we might as well get rid of that doubt.

Just my two cents.... a perhaps stupid comment early on the (Game)Day

Macalaure · 11-02-2006, 03:55 AM

Funny to see that every time a were-creature dies, it does so by the loss of his/her lover.

So now it's 2 guys and 5 girls. I will take a very close look at Farael for this reason, but the probability that the last couple is female only is quite high. I would advise everybody to look close at Farael and me, but don't limit yourselves. Unless the ranger is successful, we have two more days to get the last lover pair. If you use these two days to kill me and Farael, the village loses.

Having said that, I hope Valier will elaborate on the why of her suspicions of yesterday. Valier's hunches are valuable if she's innocent, but we cannot verify that unless we lynch her. We could go by her hunch today and lynch her tomorrow if she was wrong, but I do not think this is a good strategy. I'd like to hear a little reason from Valier, and then we'll see.

Looking at Farael, why do you suggest to go for Rikae so early? The only other person to be so rash with this before was MormWolf. She seems to want to participate, but is hindered. If she doesn't show up today, then maybe we could try it this way and lynch her, but I think we should wait. As Valier said, Rikae is very valuable when actually around.

Kath · 11-02-2006, 06:39 AM

You know I can see the logic in lynching Rikae. We have had 2 Days now and she has only shown up just after the deadline each time I think. If this were any other game she would have been killed by modfire already. If she doesn't show up by around halfway through toDay with this long post she was promising then a lynch might be a good idea. However, this is only if we don't find a more suitable candidate.

Also, I'm not sure that we should focus on the males. It is quite likely that the last pair is female only although there is nothing to say that it isn't male/female or male/male for that matter. Whatever the case, we need to focus on the individuals.

That said, I think Mac is guilty. I don't know why though, it's just a feeling I got this morning. I'm going to go back through his posts later, see if I can work it out. I won't have that up for a while though.

Rikae · 11-02-2006, 07:28 AM

,I've finally untwisted myself and am able to participate - apparently just in time!

Farael looks very suspicious & has since day one, it appears. He does seem eager to shift the blame.
I don't think Mac is guilty, merely because he seems much the same as in the last game - logical, reasonable and full of flattery. Of course, Werebears are known for their honied tongues, so I wouldn't rule him out.
Kath, your post seems to cover all bases - very safe.

The long post I was composing yesterday mainly explained my suspicions of Morm, and is therefore, obviously, out of date. I'll be back after school (before 3 EST). That's a promise. (And what's that worth, the promise of a woman? You're very funny, Highness!)

Macalaure · 11-02-2006, 08:21 AM

Farael:

On the first day he goes straight after Holbytlass. I found it strange and weak-reasoned, but he turned out right. He repeats his suspicion several times and it attracts not few suspicion from others. What I'm asking myself is: is that how a lover would act? To be so outspoken with a point which is likely to not attract a huge followership? Hard to believe, but who knows. Maybe he thought he would look even more suspicious if he didn't act like that, because many here know how he usually plays.
Other than that he refuses to go for Lhuna, which would have been very transparent indeed. His vote for Menel is only logical.

Next day he keeps at Holby's neck, now with some better reasoning. Good. He becomes suspicious of mormegil because morm was still alive. Now we know morm really was evil, but I insist that his reasoning was bad. It seems like his intuition is sharp.
He defends himself and his arguments much more than the day before. I guess he realised just how close it was for him on day 1, or maybe his lover did.
He votes for Holbytlass, early, as he said before.

Today he's very proud he was right about mormegil. I'm not sure what to think of this. Telling everybody "Look! I was right about a wolf! I'm innocent!"? What would wonder me more is why it was Jenny that he and his lover killed and not morm himself, though it would explain his happiness today.
He's quick to suggest lynching Rikae.

I'm picking at bones.
Yes, Farael does behave a little weird, but that is said to be his style. I can find nothing which looks doubtlessly evil to me, just some things that are questionable, but not overly.
I'm afraid I think him innocent. I'll be interested if somebody else finds something I overlooked.
