Nog, even if Sam protected Lhuna, she may not have been the target! Sam could easily have protected Lhuna, who is actually Shelob, and then Shelob attacked Sam. There is no reason to think Lhuna is definitely innocent.

edit: though I don't see her as necessarily being evil either. I have no idea.

Seriously, short on time here. Out of time for producing points, as they will not have time to be read and considered.

the phantom · 05-07-2011, 03:00 PM

Okay, whatever. If I end up dead, all but two of you will be quite sorry indeed.

++Bom

EDIT: wow, quite a x-post, with everyone except Inzil

Bom rushed along a cave wall, looking for a hole, a crack, anywhere to hide. From them.

"Get him! He'll kill us all!" he heard from behind him.

"I didn't do it! I hate spiders!"

"All the more reason for one of them to attack you, isn't it?"

"Yeah! They'd just attack you out of spite!"

"I didn't- Wait, what?" Bom said, stopping just long enough to turn back and cock his head. "That doesn't even make any- Oh no!"

They'd caught up to him. In retrospect, when trying to sneak off, he probably should have removed his bright yellow boots.

All of them seemed to come at once, knocking him to the ground and pinning him down.

"Count the legs. Quick, count them! Pull them off if you have to...."

"I only have two," he whimpered, trying to kick the appendages in question to prove his point. "Please don't....please don't hurt me."

"One!"

"Two!"

"Thr- Oh. Um, that was his head. Sorry."

Remaining:
Wilwa
Lhuna
Dun
Shasta
Nog
Boro
Phantom
Lottie
Nerwen
Fea

Dead, escaped, or otherwise no longer here:
Glirdan (ordo, lynched Day 1)
Nienna (ordo, withdrew from life)
Bom (ordo, lynched Day 2)

The glow was gone tonight. Excellent.

Shelob carefully rose to her feet, creeping around and over the sleeping bodies of those around her. There, before her, was a neck that looked particularly vulnerable. Yes, she thought to herself, this will do for a start. She lowered herself beside them, running one of her feelers through their hair, then she struck. The victim lurched awake, but passed out from the pain before they could even scream. Finished with her business, Shelob returned to her place, the only evidence left of her acts two small red marks.

Alive:

Nog
Fea
Dun
Boro
Lhuna
Lottie
Nerwen
Phantom
Shasta

Gone:
Glirdan (ordo)
Nienna (ordo)
Bom (ordo)

Sorry for not being around yesterday - college graduation (no, I didn't graduate myself, but I was still busy).

In any case, what was with the Bom wagon yesterday? I've reread it twice and still don't understand it.

the phantom · 05-08-2011, 03:31 PM

No idea about the Bom wagon, Shasta. I pretty much just went with it because I wanted to save my skin.

And Boro- I never for a minute considered THAT was what you were up to with those comments, as given the "no reveals & no false reveals" rule I assumed that anything along those lines that was most definitely a hint towards one particular role was illegal.

Nogrod · 05-07-2011, 02:58 PM

Wilwa: I do not say lhuna is definitively innocent, but she's the best we have for a non-baddie (i mean anyone could be Shelob).

And Boro voting her is odd indeed in regards to that.

Nogrod · 05-07-2011, 02:59 PM

I'd say Bom or Boro.

To me, she is no different than anyone else.

++Lhuna

I don't know what else to do. And I like irony.

wilwarin538 · 05-07-2011, 02:58 PM

Alright, I don't want to get another name on the list.

I won't vote Lottie, cause I'm inclined to trust her. I don't want to vote phantom. I have no opinion on Zil or Bom. And Lhuna is a total enigma to me. So I have no idea.
