Oh! And it also doesn't fit at all well with Menel's previously displayed level of tactical knowledge, does it?

It's more than that– what she says in her vote-post is this:

Which, to the best of my knowledge, bears absolutely no relation to what happened yesterDay. Well– that's Kath, though. When she's in a hurry, she'll quote and make analyses and all that, but quite frequently they seem to emanate from a slightly different plane of reality.

I think she either skims, or just picks a random sample of posts to look at, or something. (Yes, I am still annoyed, Kath. Can't you tell?)

Fair enough, sun in splendour.

You mean his tenuous grasp of wolf-on-wolf voting? Or something else?

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-20-2012, 01:58 AM

In any case, I work fairly early, so should probably be heading to bed soon. I'm feeling fairly good about Nog and Nerwen (as in, both Kath and Menel have raised more red flags recently than those two have) and so;

++Menel

Good night.

Nogrod · 06-20-2012, 04:40 AM

I only had time to skim through the posting since I left and will not probably have a second chance before the DL, so here it goes...

++ Meneltarmacil

Between the different scenarios it looks like the most promising one.

That, and the general "Captain Obvious" statements.

Anyway. I have been looking through the other Days, and haven't seen any pressing reason *not* to lynch Menel now. Obviously, if he turns out innocent, I'll need to take a closer look toMorrow (assuming I'm still alive).

++Menel

There. Now you're dead. And if you're innocent after all– well, I'm sorry, but what can I say? You pretty much went and stuck your head in the noose toDay and yesterDay– I don't know how else to put it.

Note: As I go to post this, I see Nog just voted.

Menel had been considered innocent for too long. His luck had run out.

“Let's string him up by the river! Let the wolves see what we do to those who help them!” Shasta said.

“It's too cold,” Nerwen argued. “Let's throw him in an oven. The wolves can have a hot meal before we drive them back over the Brandywine.”

“What do you think Kath?” Nogrod turned to the woodsmith.

She held a bloody fork. Menel was at her feet writhing in pain. Her neighbors exchanged confused and worried expressions. “He made fun of my gammy leg,” was the answer Kath offered up.

“We may as well finish the job then."

The retired barkeep woke from a chill. How had his home suddenly became so drafty? He pulled his robe on and padded out of the bedroom.

The door was open. So this was how it was going to be. “Show yourself! I've survived worse than you.” He snarled into the darkness. He closed the door. It provided him some sense of security, though he guessed his attacker was in the house already.

From the shadows stepped the final villagers to sign a pact with the wolves. “I should have known it'd be you. You'll not have me and I'll see to it you're strung up tomorrow.” Nogrod knew better. His spoken as though he'd actually see tomorrow.

With his attention focused to the front Nogrod missed the silent footfalls of padded and furred feet coming from behind. The alpha and his mate attacked from behind before Nogrod had the chance to respond.

He poked an eye here and kicked a ribcage there. Even in retirement he was a formidable Hobbit. He refused to go down without a fight. “Give it,” the fiend said. “You're embarrassing yourself.”

Nogrod had managed to punch the alpha in the face, distracting him, but the female had latched onto his leg. Blood coated her jaws. Even if he broke free he'd not make it very far with his injuries. Still, he wouldn't give in. He pulled his arm back to slap her muzzle. Her mate grabbed hold and gave him a shake before clamping down on his jugular.
