Werewolf XLIV: In the House of Tom Bombadil

[Rikae]

Do we have retractable votes?

EDIT: X'd and guess so.

[Macalaure]

++Gwathagor

though I'd very much prefer Lommy at the moment.

[Macalaure]

Where did the Caber-waggon come from?

[Mithalwen]

I think not else I might have gone for mc Caber for that vote ... but perhaps more of a cop out even than Gwathagor...

[Mithalwen]

Look at Mc and Mac too for that save?

[Thinlómien]

Sorry to post after DL, but does Volo's vote count as one for Gwath or Ka? Or does it even matter?

[Volo]

I doesn't matter, but by all logic that I can understand (which is regarded odd ) it counts for Gwath.

[THE Ka]

I'm unsure about voting for Gwath just yet, something tells me that if we turn him into a fenris we might be cutting off any chance of catching other wolves, considering Gwath's pattern of 'agree' then 'disagree', and then going under the radar at times in relation to defending others. Otherwise the only major suspicion I have of Gwath is him being too agreable at one point then retracting back later on, especially when Rikae analyzes his posts.

then:

I should also point out, Rikae, that I didn't actually defend Sally and Durelin until my second post - the "fix-it" post - in which I explicitly make them part of my argument. If I was trying to downplay any association with them, then I did a pretty poor job.

I dunno, this could be a wolf trying to carefully arrange things, or a frustrated ordinary. I'd like to see Gwath's actions on the second day especially, if for say, McCab or Mac was voted out, or attacked by wolves (if they are innocent).


McCabbie (see? I can remember now it's not late... Sorry again Mac ), I really wish would give more reasoning and overall opinion on what others are saying about him, or at least some standing as for position. He is acting very, very different than from last time when he was an ordinary. As for suspicion he is rising on my list, but I am hesitant to vote immediately and brashly. I guess being quite from now on would cause him to loose his skin.

I will have to agree somewhat with what Nerwen mentioned earlier, about the connection or at least bandwagoning of McCab after Gwath's fluster of reasoning, but being careful enough not to single out anyone as a wolf or having wolvie behaviour. It does carry its own suspicion for being careful, but uneventful.

OKay, I have no more time right now, and neither does the voting time count down, so I will stand by my above suspicion about Gwath. I want to see what he does later on without either the pressure from Mac, Menel or McCab, or their comfort zone of suspicion that he's using at times. I am not even going to try and throw a suspicion about Boro out here, because they would be stupid, even for me. I'd rather see what he has to say and do when someone, such as Nogrod pokes for information (though I've already seen it before). Mac is still on my list, but I'm curious about his actions later on as well. As for McCab, he is sticking out too much from his past nature, even when he was an ordo and voted. Maybe trying to be different in sake of this game, but his actions are warning me.

The beggars were in the living room and argued. The situation didn't actually look that different from that in the Barrow, before the coming of Death - only the topics were darker. One of them was to die in the evening, and they had to decide who that unlucky was.

In the beginning of the day, Nogrod had sneakily tried to attack the gorgeous white animal that was lying in front of the hearth, but his attention was luckily caught by a fight that had suddenly started: his son Gwathagor was scuffling with the nasty little Thinlómien who had called him names. Nogrod decided to settle the situation by singing a song he had composed just a while ago:

”And with no ranger
we're in danger
of losing our helpfuls sooner than later
so that's an urgency matter:
the weight of possible submarines
may get heavy soon!”

The other beggars cheered and laughed and even the fighters forgot their argument, but there was one who wasn't impressed.

”I hereby forbid you to smile! It's darn annoying,” exclaimed Boro.

”I love it when he's masterful,” sighed Mithalwen, ”he's worth far more than some boring child!”

”But how do you expect I can hear what you say when you peep no louder than the mice Ka eats?” complained Durelin.

”Well, I'm not called Boro the Silent One for nothing...”

Unfortunately, the happy couple's children didn't feel as confident as their parents. Mac the Guileless was dwelling in self-pity and felt that everybody was speaking about him, Menel was sure that his father would eventually drive him to his death.

”I'm not a wolf, really!” said sally suddenly.

”Well, who is it, then?” asked McCaber.

”Probably my Durelin,” answered Rikae. ”I always suspect she's up to something...”

”Hey, I know the feeling! It's quite terrible when one can't trust his own wife...” started Boro, but was soon silenced by a threatening glance from Mith's direction.

”It's even worse when you can't trust your child!” exclaimed Nogrod in anguish. Gwathagor looked at him, astonished.

”Yes, there's really something strange about Gwathagor,” said Volo.

”Aye, let's kill him!” agreed Greenie.

Nerwen smirked. ”I have an idea. We could use him as a battering ram... You know, to break the door.”

”Hey, that sounds wonderful!” said Boro enthusiastically. ”I volunteer! But I need some strong men to help me, come on now! Volo, Greenie... Nogrod, will you come too or does it hurt too much?”

”Oh, not at all, I'll come,” said Nogrod.

”Daddy, I think Greenie is a girl,” observed Macalaure.

**

The men took hold on Gwathagor.

”One... Two... Three!”

They swung him so that his head hit the door. The door didn't break, but a cracking sound was heard.
They swung him again. Blood was dripping on the floor.
When they swung him the third time, the door gave way. Cool, fresh air flowed from the outside. Gwathagor's dead body fell to the floor. A pool of blood formed about his head.

As the beggars turned to examine him, they noticed that he was still completely human. Not even a single hair of beard had sprouted from his chin.

The night fell.

**

Alive:
Nogrod the Agreeable, the leader of the beggars
his wife, Nerwen
elderly couple; Rikae the Kind
and Durelin
Boromir88 the Silent One, an ex-pickpocket
his wife, Mithalwen the Perpetually Sane and Serene
their children Macalaure the Guileless
and Meneltarmacil
Sally the Insufferable, a slightly mad crippled woman
Volo, a young widowed man
his child, the Right Honourable McCaber
THE Ka, a blind old woman
orphaned little Thinlómien
and her little sister A Little Green

Dead:
Tom Bombadil (ranger) - killed on Night 1
Goldberry (seer) - killed on Night 1
The Barrow-wight (hunter) - killed on Night 1
Gwathagor, the child of Nogrod and Nerwen (ordo) - used as a battering ram on Day 1

**

It is now Night 2. Wolves may kill. No posting here.

For those who are interested, Volo's vote counts as a vote (so failing to vote once again won't get him killed yet), but I didn't count it as a vote for either Ka or Gwath (not that it would have mattered anyway).
I'm ready to be lenient enough to count Ka's vote as such also, but from now on all the votes that are cast after the deadline, which is 7.00 PM GMT, don't count.
