WWXXXV: Werewolves among the Wolf-men - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 07-01-2007, 01:34 PM

"Okay.

I'm addressing this to toMorrow for those of you alive still. You need a view from a known innocent toMorrow anyway in this mess.

I'm not Turin. I said it already but as that seems to pop up again I'll restate this. So you're not killing two toDay.

I happen to be an innocent though and well... that was your choice. Blame yourselves toMorrow - but also look closely those who triggered this and those who were too happy to follow. Especially those who hadn't voiced that strong suspicions on me earlier but were now happy to jump for a vote - notwithstanding how reservedly they made they vote.

Unforunately you all went under the same spell and the voting record will give you too many candidates. What's even worse, with your enthusiasm you've left a wolf a chance to not vote me as I'm dead with your innocent votes already.

If the wolves missed last Night and were short-sighted yesterNight then they are from the pack of Gil, Izzy and Mith.

If it was a purposeful tactical move look at Mac and Rikae. Their carefulness earlier and resolve toDay makes them look pretty bad in myh eyes right now.

And see how they went in concerto to wonder that whether that was a deliberate tactical move by the wolves it must have been me who's behind it. But the whole idea behind the trick is that you should do it if no one suspects you! That fits to them but not to me.

And Mac's half-hearted defence of the quiets really bothers me now as it wouldbe the perfect wolf-strategy right now.

Also Rikae's claim that going back to old arguments is somehow suspicious is frivolous when the situation is that everyone seems to have forgotten what our situation is as everyone were so keen to follow any drop-outs from the little discussion between me and the guy. So going back to our real task was good, not bad.

Which brings me back to the guy. If he hadn't popped in at the last hour with those funny ideas I would have said that don't lynch him because he is innocent. Maybe he is Androg, or maybe there isn't such a role. He feels innocentish but then again he started this whole thing in a way and kept it going. If we have a cobbler here, guy is the one. Unfortunately you can't afford to lynch him toMorrow anymore to check it...

Lhuna is either a manipulative wolf or then a short-sighted innocent thinking first and foremosat of her own survival... You have to find out which.

I'm not sure if I mentioned everyone here. But there's little time left.

I'll try to figure out which I think the most probable before the blade."

"From many suspects I cast my pointless vote

++Brinniel

for two very safe votes and a bit of dubious gender bending...."

Brinniel · 07-01-2007, 01:50 PM

"Mithalwen, if he is indeed innocent, I didn't say it would confirm your guilt. But I would find it possible that a wolf would loudly defend someone they knew was an innocent in order to avoid a lynching toMorrow.

"But you really shouldn't have to worry about that because right now I think Nogrod is guilty and therefore, you innocent (a wolf wouldn't be so foolish to defend a fellow wolf so strongly, in my opinion). "

Macalaure · 07-01-2007, 01:52 PM

"I've been suspected for defending the quiet outlaws. This is not true. I'm not saying Izzy, Gil or Mith are innocent, it's quite possible that one of these is a wolf. However, having lynched two silents recently, I don't think it's a good idea to do it again. It would be possible that we would find us in the same evidence-less situation tomorrow again!
I also can hardly believe that both wolves come from this group, which makes the idea of sleepy wolves that forgot to kill appear mysterious.

I don't even suspect Nogrod that much, but everyone else looks less suspicious to me. I agree with Nogrod that the vote count is horrible, and it's good that he's providing us with his latest thoughts."

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-01-2007, 02:00 PM

"It is settled, then," said Lhuna. "It's you, Nogrod."
The old man's eyebrow rose. "You surely don't know what you are talking about. I am not in any way connected with these hounds of Morgoth!"
"But we chose you," said the guy who be short, picking up a long rope. "Come on, do not prolongate it."
Nogrod gave the short guy a scornful look. "What do you want me to do? Let myself bound up like a dog? There is no way you make me do it."
"But we – we chose you," stammered Isabellkya. The outlaws gave each other uncertain looks. The old man was sitting, almost leaning his back against the wall, but everyone saw his muscles stretching, he was ready to move in a moment. Nogrod was old and short, but stout and strong man, and most of them knew he could defeat one of them in a fight without any trouble.
"We have to move together," said Macalaure. "Let's take the weapons and surround him. He cannot face us all..."
Angered, Nogrod jumped up. "Youngsters!" he shouted. "That's what happens always when they gain power! Young blood, no senses! Look at yourselves!"
He lifted up his hands. "I am unarmed. And there is good seven of you, and still you are afraid of me. I am not a werewolf, damn you! Those you seek are among you!"
"We are not afraid of you," said Rikae. "If you attempt something, I can finish you, even though I am older. You saw it the first day."
"And that's exactly how it's going to end," said Nogrod. "Fools! I am not a werewolf!"
"That's what we shall see," said the guy who be short.
"Enough talk! Let's kill him!" cried Macalaure. To encourage his companions, he picked up a short spear that was laying near the wall.
Nogrod reached to his belt. The drawn blade glinted in the light of lamps hanging from the ceiling. "I am not going to get myself killed! This is the last warning!"
But the outlaws finally decided to move. The guy who be short charged at Nogrod with sword drawn, but the old man parried his blow with such strength that the attacker was hurled backwards. Turning, Nogrod avoided Macalaure's strike and slashing with his sword, he cut the spear in half.
Suddenly, Brinn sprang up in front of the condemned outlaw. There was a glimmer of a blade and then an iron clash.
"You almost surprised me," muttered Nogrod, in the last moment stopping the blow few inches far from his throat. "You are quick, young girl," he said, "but you are also weak," and with force, he pressed Brinn's blade further from himself. But at the same moment Isabellkya leapt to his side and taking advantage of the old man's momentary incautiousness, she stabbed her dagger deep in his back. Voicelessly, Nogrod tumbled to the ground, dropping his sword; and falling on his face between his bag, his tea-cup and the last slice of bread, the old man died.

"Was he a wolf?" was the first question asked.
The outlaws surrounded the dead body. No change was seen.
"Oh, no," came through Lhuna's lips.
"Another night full of fear," muttered Mithalwen.
"Damn it!" said Brinn. "I was sure we were right this time."
"Apparently not," said Rikae. "Gah! But I fear this loss may prove deadly for many of us."
"If there is even hope for us," said Macalaure, turning away.

Night 4 begins. Outlaws sleep. Túrin, Beleg and werewolves discuss. Whoever has anything to send, PM me ASAP.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 07-02-2007, 02:00 PM

Once again, two dark shadows were creeping in the stony halls. Once again, they trod towards their victim. Penetrating the darkness with their sharp senses, they easily found the place where their prey was hiding.
Once again, they were not the only ones who was awake in the room.

"Step closer and I will change you from the wolf to a hedgehog," said a voice coming from the corner. In the dim light of a suddenly revealed lantern the werewolves saw a dark figure with face covered, holding a long black bow. They have seen that bow before.
"I am not joking," said the person. "And you can bet I can shoot. If that Dwarf didn't force me to break my bow, you will see what is a good bow in the hands of a good bowman. But now you still have the chance. Now, back up! You survived this far, but I can spare you of your victory."
The werewolves hesitated for a moment. There was a possibility that the man bluffed. But the bow they saw was the bow that nearly hit them twice. They did not want to risk anything. Slowly, they retreated back into the dark tunnel.

"Fools," said Andróg, smiling to himself. "What is some Beleg against me?"

When the first rays of sunlight touched the hill, short figure of Mîm appeared in the cave entrance. He was carrying a heavy sack. "Mîm found some roots," he said, dropping it on the ground.
"And that's everything you brought?" asked Rikae. "Where is the one who accompanied you?"
"I am here," said Gil-Galad as he entered the cave. The other outlaws looked at him with surprise: He was bruised, dirty and appeared exhausted. He more fell than sat to the ground. "We did not find much, there were no animals nearby and we were afraid to wander too far into the woods. So the Dwarf decided to bring some roots, he says they are edible."
"Yes, good," nodded Mîm. "The Men may prepare their food now, the sun has risen..."
"What did you do out there so long?" asked Brinn suspiciously.
Gil-Galad looked at her with weary eyes. "Damn wilderness," he said. "The day before I was hunting some deer or what it was – and I hurt my leg. We had to camp outside, because we couldn't return till sunset. And in the morning, I realized that little creature just disappeared!"
"Mîm was searching for some herbs to help the Man," explained the Dwarf.
"Yes," said Gil-Galad. "But I thought the scoundrel left me there to die and..."
"...and so you went home alone with hurt leg, and when Mîm returned, he didn't find you," assumed Macalaure.
"Well, yes," said Gil-Galad.
"So it's just your own fault, then," said Mithalwen. "You should have believed him."
"Mîm spent half the day searching for the Man," said the Dwarf. "His leg is better now, but still it took us long to reach Amon Rûdh. We had to camp out for one more night before we could climb up here."
Gil-Galad only muttered something to himself and laid on the stony floor, completely exhausted.

The inhabitants of Amon Rûdh – dead:

Ibun son of Mîm, killed by a Werewolf on Night 1
Shasta alias Saeros, outnumbered and stabbed on Day 1
Xyzzy the Outlaw, stoned to death on Day 2
Nogrod the old Outlaw, caught off his guard on Day 3

Day 4 begins. Night is over, no more talks in shadow. A new day has risen, start to talk, everyone who is alive in these halls!

Brinniel · 07-02-2007, 02:34 PM

Brinn looked around at the others, and when no one spoke, she started:

"Well, it seems that Nogrod was right after all and Androg really is among us; once again, someone was protected. It is already Day 4, and there is yet to be a wolf kill...these wolves really are clumsy, yet at the same time, they remain so well hidden.

"The events of yesterDay turned out to be a complete disaster, and we know that at least one, possibly two wolves were in on the bandwagon. The only good that has come out of this is at least we now have someone's thoughts to analyse, and while we cannot know anything about his suspicions for sure, Nogrod was correct on something, so hopefully his death will give us some clue onto who may be our wolves.

"It is essential we catch a wolf toDay in order to maintain our survival. Right now I want to take a closer look at Izzy and Gil-Galad as I think it is most likely at least one wolf is among them. Hopefully Gil isn't too exhausted to place some input toDay because we really need to hear from him.

"For the time being, I need to take a closer look at what Nogrod had to say, and everyone else, for that matter. I want to think things over before I speak anymore."

Isabellkya · 07-02-2007, 03:09 PM

Izzy gazed around at the sleeping group of outlaws and noticed that Gil had returned, and that Brinniel was awake. She counted the numbers, and thanked good fortune that once again everyone had escaped the night unscathed.

'I as well find it a bit odd, yet fortunate that the wolves have failed to kill one of our numbers for the fourth night in a row. I wonder what could be behind this. I will sit here and marinate upon my thoughts for the moment.'

Gil-Galad · 07-02-2007, 05:20 PM

Gil looked around after hearing from the remainder about the comments on himself earlier

"So our fellow Shasta was one of them eh? what surprises me is that after i voted out shasta as a werewolf, i was immediately attacked the next day for being one myself... do i really have to point out the idiocy of that now? why would a werewolf root out his fellow one in the first day? that would lower the chances of them wolves surviving greatly... and my dear Brinniel has been adamant in reminding everyone about me... i'm sorry but that sounds like your a wolf trying top sway everyone to get rid of my hunches of other wolves... you, my dear brinniel, are my prime suspect for being a dirty wolf!"

Gil's voiced rasied as he sat back in a corner and ate some of the roots he gathers

"++Brinniel!!! out with her, if you don't beleive me and then decide to kill me off, you will all know anyways, so either kill brinn today or kill her next day after i'm dead, your choices!! but let my last wish be that wolf be killed after me...or i will come back from the dead and stuff..."

Nogrod · 07-01-2007, 01:58 PM

"The last words it is then.

I'm still inclined to believe in these clumsy wolves. But the only problem in that is would Morgoth have chosen such a clumsy duo to do his bidding? That you should think toMorrow.

The idea of Mac and Rikae would make much more sense from the standpoint of Morgoth who chose them in the first place. And they would have played skillfully with it. Although I'm not sure if I'd run to compliment them afterwards as I think their win in the end would have been achieved mainly by them being quiet. And that's not sporty behaviour I'd wait from them. And mostly achieved by guy who kept me away from discussing other things than his "points"...

I'll be not saying anything about the possible guilt or innocence of the guy. He was the most entertaining person here by a mile. He tried and argued and that made things fun. Really young man, it was good to talk with you even if you were wrong..."

Nogrod took a step forwards and hugged the younger man.

"I hope you're innocent and will bag the wolves for me after this... promise?"

He looked at the young man into the eyes and nodded to him encouragingly. At the same time he heard Mith voting and turned his head towards her.

"Oh, Brinn... that I'll leave up to you.

By the way this last minute silence is quite telling as well... Check out toMorrow who have been up late and who have now fallen back after a confidence of their succeeding vote. Just a hint..."

Nogrod turned to face the people.

"I'm ready. Do what you wish if you're still awake. It's fair that the old ones go first. Let the Valar bless you innocents even if you make bad decisions. And protect Turín and Nienor, otherwise you won't live for too long."

Suddenly something distracted him. It was Macalaure.

"Oh Mac... your explanations sound hollow at this moment... Save them for toMorrow and let's see what people think of them then. Now let an old man die in peace."

Then he kneeled down and laid his head low.

It is already Day 4, and there is yet to be a wolf kill...these wolves really are clumsy, yet at the same time, they remain so well hidden. "The events of yesterDay turned out to be a complete disaster, and we know that at least one, possibly two wolves were in on the bandwagon. The only good that has come out of this is at least we now have someone's thoughts to analyse, and while we cannot know anything about his suspicions for sure, Nogrod was correct on something, so hopefully his death will give us some clue onto who may be our wolves. "It is essential we catch a wolf toDay in order to maintain our survival. Right now I want to take a closer look at Izzy and Gil-Galad as I think it is most likely at least one wolf is among them. Hopefully Gil isn't too exhausted to place some input toDay because we really need to hear from him. "For the time being, I need to take a closer look at what Nogrod had to say, and everyone else, for that matter. I want to think things over before I speak anymore."

I'm still inclined to believe in these clumsy wolves. But the only problem in that is would Morgoth have chosen such a clumsy duo to do his bidding? That you should think toMorrow. The idea of Mac and Rikae would make much more sense from the standpoint of Morgoth who chose them in the first place. And they would have played skillfully with it. Although I'm not sure if I'd run to compliment them afterwards as I think their win in the end would have been achieved mainly by them being quiet. And that's not sporty behaviour I'd wait from them. And mostly achieved by guy who kept me away from discussing other things than his "points"... I'll be not saying anything about the possible guilt or innocence of the guy. He was the most entertaining person here by a mile. He tried and argued and that made things fun. Really young man, it was good to talk with you even if you were wrong..." Nogrod took a step forwards and hugged the younger man. "I hope you're innocent and will bag the wolves for me after this... promise?" He looked at the young man into the eyes and nodded to him encouragingly. At the same time he heard Mith voting and turned his head towards her. "Oh, Brinn... that I'll leave up to you. By the way this last minute silence is quite telling as well... Check out toMorrow who have been up late and who have now fallen back after a confidence of their succeeding vote. Just a hint..." Nogrod turned to face the people. "I'm ready. Do what you wish if you're still awake. It's fair that the old ones go first. Let the Valar bless you innocents even if you make bad decisions. And protect Turín and Nienor, otherwise you won't live for too long." Suddenly something distracted him. It was Macalaure. "Oh Mac... your explanations sound hollow at this moment... Save them for toMorrow and let's see what people think of them then. Now let an old man die in peace." Then he kneeled down and laid his head low.
