It would be nice to know who the innocent child is before I decide who to dream of, so I don't waste the dream on them. Anyone?

Wasn't thinking about the Innocent Child revealing, just there being 3 unknowns and 1 wolf.

Wish you had not felt the need to do that, giving Rune the chance to salvage one small victory. Ah, well it is done.

The only chance the remaining wolf has is hoping that his fellows in the QT can mess up the vote toMorrow. If Brinn lives, their fate is sealed. So I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that I will be Night killed.

On the other hand, you're the only other person who seemed to realize (or at least said) that the wolves might want to Night kill me as a consolation prize - which may point to your being a wolf after all. Glad Brinn is going to find out for sure, and I don't have to try to guess!

I think it's more likely the last wolf will kill me toNight, but it's possible they'll choose you. Either way it's done - it's just a matter of whether the GT will need to wait for the QT vote or not.

Brinniel · 05-17-2020, 01:04 PM

I do have to say kudos to the baddies - spotting them was not easy and for me it was more of a process of elimination than anything.

I'm actually torn on who the final wolf is. Initially I was thinking Rune, but the last few posts from Boro has me questioning him again. But if he is a wolf, he would be a bold one indeed.

Okay, I have to run and will likely not be back before the end of the Day. So I'm going to dream of Boromir - just because I can't stand the idea of assuming him more likely innocent all this time and end up being wrong.

If the final wolf kills me toNight, you'll hear from me via the QT. If Boro is evil the QT vote will be for him. If he's innocent, the QT vote will be for Rune. The QT will be 10-5 by toMorrow, so as long as the other quarantined innocent villagers show up and vote, I can't see how the baddies in the thread could mess it up.

That's all from me. Should I be quarantined, I'll see you on the other side.

Thinlómien · 05-17-2020, 01:17 PM

Thank you, Brinn!

Eönwë · 05-17-2020, 02:38 PM

Thanks for everything Brinn!

Not that there's much point in having this discussion since based on our numbers it wouldn't have much effect, but I really couldn't help feeling while reading this that Boro was trying to find a way to muddy the signal and add an extra vote for an innocent with this:

Since Brinn mentioned it in her reveal post, I find this hard to believe this:

In any case, Lommy and Brinn put a stop to it and unless two people were to miss out on the vote toMorrow, it still wouldn't be enough to get us to quarantine an innocent.

But maybe I was wrong about Boro all along and Rune's the wolf. It's easy to see evil when you already suspect it. We'll see soon enough.

Boromir88 · 05-17-2020, 02:44 PM

Yes, thank you.

Will Boro be found innocent in the eyes of Brinn?
Will our heroes be saved from Morgoth’s Black Plague?
Will the Innocent survive?

Tune in next time, same Wight-time. Same Wight-channel

Loslote · 05-17-2020, 02:57 PM

Well, if the wolf decides to accept his fate and go for me out of spite, it's been a really, really fun game.

After thinking over everything through and through for several times, Húrin knew what to do. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was what he had to do. He called the survivors under the oak and addressed them.

“My dear friends and kinsmen. It is time I share with you my knowledge and my decision”.

There was a keen silence and all the eyes were fixed on him.

“Morgoth has spoiled some of us and they have been franticly searching for someone who was in turn aided by the forces of light. It only became clear to me little by little, that I was the one. Remember when I was convinced old Sador had fallen under the spell: it felt wrong to me as his lord and friend of so many years, but somehow I knew it. Now I know another and will come clear with it, whatever it might mean to me.”

People were confused, especially about the last sentence.

“Now that I’m in the open, the last one will come to me, and he has the power of Morgoth in him, which I’m afraid is too much for me to fight against. I mean how were these ordinary people able to overpower Huor? He’s a strong warrior and he was armed, but still they beat him.”

People glanced at each other starting to realize the sacrifice Húrin was making. But Húrin turned lovingly to his wife and child.

“It may be I could have had something to do in the wars to come, but here and now as your lord, I’m responsible to you: to my family, my friends, my kinsmen. I couldn’t live if I didn’t do this now, and would then have lost any more of you my friends.”

Morwen bit her lip and took her husband by the hand.

“So…” Húrin broke the uneasy silence. “Algund and Gethron, take Forweg. He’s the second last Infector.”

With that the big man turned and came yelling wildly towards Húrin, but Algund and Gethron were on him already. Forweg struggled but finally, with the help of both Aerin and Húrin himself, he was tied down and dragged to the Great Hall.

“I may not wake up healthy tomorrow, but I trust you can find out the last one – as I know, it is either good old blind Ragnir or sweet Aerin. Others of you I know are not infected by this monstrosity."

"But we will defend you, everyone, we all!" Morwen said determinatedly. "Aren't we?"

The others agreed in unison. Only one of them was not sincere.
