Tol-in-Gaurhoth LI: The Pain of Wargs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I guess everybody has voted now...?
Let's hope we were right.... *crosses fingers*

Voting is closed. Gollum will die soon.

Gollum the Great was the one chosen today. That most youthful of the Elders, of immaculate coat and shining eyes, was deemed most likely to be evil: for as the wise philosophers have ever proven, those who choose conflict with Wargs commit the most heinous act -- that of knowingly abandoning the truth. And so Gollum was set upon by the ferocious Wargs.

Torn and ripped and gruesomely bludgeoned was the slighted Warg, a very messy end due to Gollum the Great fighting back 'gainst his slayers. But alas! when all was said and done, the corpse lay still, blood oozing over the stone floor. Manwë's humbling was not in vain, this was remembered, for every Warg whom the world lost was a mighty blow in favour of those who would swindle Middle-earth out of proper glory.

Night 5 has come. No talking in the village. Villains, send me a name.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-14-2008, 02:47 PM

The Wargs had deciphered more of Eomer's last words. Constant rambling about the point of their being Wargs, and the Pain being brought about by the enemies of Wargs, who are not Wargs. He was at pains to point that out, at least.

But also, more dramatically, on that evening they discovered that their next day could be their last: for when the villains cut the number of Elders down to their own number, they shall then be assured of victory. With two more Warg-slayings would this happen.

One had happened in the night. Mithalwen was discovered, brutally slaughtered; that venerable Warg had suffered greatly in these days, bearing the Pain heavily. She had suffered in the night too, of that the cadaver did testify. The Wargs needed desperately to be correct, but such power was tricking them. Who would prevail?

Day 5 is here.

Gwathagor · 10-14-2008, 03:03 PM

Well. I guess we'd better get one toDay.

Gaunt · 10-14-2008, 03:07 PM

That didn't go very well.

Now I don't know who to vote for.

Time for a serious rethink.

Gaunt · 10-14-2008, 03:21 PM

Early thoughts:

Gwath: My suspicion is rapidly fading - given my drastically erroneous case made against Gollum and Gwath yesterday, it would have made sense for Gwath, if he was a wolf, to have lynched me or Thinlomien, who were making the strongest cases against him.

Diamond: Also made case against Gollum and Gwath, but voted early for Gollum. To influence further voting for Gollum and take attention away from himself? Possibly.

Kath: Managed to make vote for Gollum yesterday in quite unobtrusive fashion. Hmm

Thinlomien: Mithalwen was the only person yesterday to suspect her, which at first sight makes her seem suspicious. However, I think a more subtle move, if she was a wolf, would be to go for someone else and not raise suspicions by killing the only person who suspected her yesterday. Again, hmm.

I don't think I will be voting Kath today, though. I think it looks rather clear Rune dreamt of her and found her innocent. I know it's a bit risky to trust anyone at this phase, but I need to narrow the choice somehow. If we get through toDay, I might reconsider her. Right now I'm ready to make a bet of sorts and trust her. I can't vote more than one person anyway...

So, it's Gwath, Gaunt or Di for me toDay. If I'm right with my assumption about seer dreams, I have 2/3 possibility to vote a wolf. That cheers me up a little. I could just vote randomly and it would be more probable to get it right than not get it right!

Okay... I won't do that. I will clearly be doing some rereading toDay.

Also, everybody should try to talk and thus give evidence of their innocence or guilt as much as they can toDay. Otherwise, it's going to be a tough Day...

edit: xed with Gaunt
