Tol-in-Gaurhoth XV-The Villagers Strike Back!

[Anguirel]

On what had once been the grandeur and beauty of Finrod's watchtower at Tol Sirion, now all was spoiled and wracked, slaking the ever-present ravenous hunger of Sauron's monstrosities. When it became too much for them, they would surge out into the lands of the defenceless Edain, pick vulnerable villages, disguise among the countryfolk and devour them by night. Werewolfs; wolf-spawn with fair words in human form.

That's what the tales tend to tell. But this bard sings another strain;
Three heroes bold with Elvish arts
And wolvish hides o'er their hearts
Unto the Isle did wend their way
To harass Sauron in the day;
And as foul wolves did fawn and feign.

Welcome to Werewolf XV!

Gameplay: The game consists of two different phases: Night Day and Night. Nights and Days begin at 2:00 pm. GMT, thus lasting 24 hours, each. (Except when lengthened or shortened by Modular Omnipotency.)


Day

During Day, the Heroes PM with each other and choose one Werewolf to kill.
Sauron chooses one Werewolf to cast his (her?) all-seeing eye upon.
Carcharoth chooses one Werewolf to kill if s/he dies during the Night.
Draugluin chooses one Werewolf to protect from the Heroes.

These Werewolves then PM their choices to me and my staunch ally Cailin.


Night

The Werewolves will wake up and (usually) discover one of their own dead. The Werewolves must publicly discuss their suspicions in order to find out, who the Heroes are. Eventually wolves start to cast votes for who they feel is an hero and must be lynched. Votes are irretractable and are cast by bolding a name with a ++ sign before it, all in CAPITALS and on a separate line. Like this:

++ANGUIREL

If you don't vote like this and I end up lynching a wrong wolf because I didn't see your vote...then the dungeons of the Tol await ye.

At the end of the Night the player with the most votes is lynched and their secret role is revealed.

Double lynching is allowed, but triple or more lynching will lead to two candidates being randomly killed.

Oh, and if poss we should call lynching "devouring". Double devouring. It sounds so good.


Winning

The Werewolves win if they kill all of the Heroes.
The Heroes win if they reduce the wolves to their own number.


Roles

Ordinary Werewolves- try to find out who the Heroes are and devour them by Day.

Heroes- choose one person to kill every Day by PMing one another and discussing their strategies. Heroes may not PM each other during the Night.

Sauron- chooses one person to gaze upon each Day. The role of this person is then revealed to them. Huan, the Cobbler, appears innocent.

Carcharoth- chooses every Day one Werewolf to die with them if they are killed by the Heroes. If the Carcharoth is devoured by Night, they can choose a new werewolf to die with them, who is then killed automatically.

Draugluin- chooses one fellow werewolf to protect every Day. If that player is the victim, they survive and there is no death that Day. Draugluin may not protect the same person twice in a row.

Huan-secretly a massive wolfhound, he will endeavour to confuse the wolves and help the Heroes.


Other stuff

The players will be told if Draugluin is successful.

Do not edit your posts, please. Double posting is perfectly acceptable here.

If I use players' names in my narrations, they are not "hidden clues" or anything.

You can say you're a Hero/Sauron/werewolf, etc. all you want, but you are not allowed to post anything that would automatically prove your claim (like PMs and such).

Once you are killed in a werewolf game you should no longer post in this thread, or the Werewolf I thread, or communicate with players that are still alive in the game. You're dead. Dead people tell no tales.

Players may not PM one another about the game; all discussion must be open. The exceptions are the Heroes, who may only PM with each other during Night.

Players should not refer to the game as a game and mention past Villages in their posts. There are plenty of other ways to give reasons for a theory than say "In Game III..."

If you have any questions, either PM me or ask them in the Werewolf 1 thread, please.

Please remember to stay invisible.

[Cailín]

As Arien descended below the horizon, a chorus of wolvish howls greeted Tilion's ascent and the onset of deep, black, consoling Night. The wolves of Tol-in-Gaurhoth were in their element.

Some suggested taking a trip to the ruins of Erbar Telemarth to find victims among the rubble. Some preferred preying on new, vulnerable hamlets.

But as the wolves started to lope out of the Tower, one of them stumbled over something large, dark and hairy. It was a prone wolf, apparently not awake yet, but because it was unusually large the werewolves feared to provoke it with a nip. At least till Nonnacedak came forward.

"It's dead, y'know," the scavenger remarked. "It's old Anguirel. He never recovered from the arrow that Elf hunter, the one they called Celegorm, hit him with. Time for a feast!"

And with that, several wolves started to plunge into their ex-comrade's guts. Until another voice interrupted them-Mithalwen, the huge alpha female.

"Wait. The arrow hit Anguirel on the leg. But the leg's hardly hurt. The wound's almost healed."

"Aye, madam, I did it myself, restoring it with Wargish arts," cut in Eomer gallantly.

Kath, a runt, nervously crept towards the body and prodded the neck. The throat of the deceased wolf had been cleanly cut by a succession of slashes; slashes that formed Elven runes...

We are the Three. We strike for the Villagers. You will fear us. Despair and die.

It was a lot of writing, but Anguirel was, indeed had been, very large. There were Heroes in the Isle of Werewolves...

NIGHT 1 has begun. Start talking, wolves, and decide on a devouree.

[mormegil]

Warg?!?! Warg indeed more like a nasty elf. Notice that he's not from these parts and comes to us from afar. I think we best devour Eomer and be done with his pathetic life.

As far as Anguirel goes, I don't miss him too much. He was too big for his own skin, acting all big and mighty why he'd make himself leader if we'd let him. Though I do miss his picking on the smaller wolves I don't miss him.

[WaynetheGoblin]

Well I will tell you now that I will be posting longer post. Im scared because heros win everthing. Poor poor anguirel he always helped me to find a fairy so I could eat it. I think we should look at eomer because he comes and look what happend a werewolf got killed. Good-bye I am going to a birthday party.

[Glirdan]

Ang, Ang, my dear friend Ang. Tis a sad fate that which you met. You always chose the best meat in the store (not that there's any bad meat for Wolves). I will miss you dearly. I think there is also someone else we should look at. A certain Rune perhaps? A Wolf in Shepards clothing? Or is he a Hero disguised as a Wolf in Shepards clothing? I also agree with morm and Wayne. We need to keep a close eye on that Warg Eomer. He could be trouble. I will be back later. I need to go tend to the meats.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Well of course you should all be looking at me. Rarely have you lot had a chance to glance upon the glory and beauty of a Warg. But I expected to be suspected. It's very easy to pick on those different from you.

Poor Anguirel. He was, as far as I could tell, a fine wolf. Black-hearted and mean, just the type of character I could respect; and just the type this island needs. Now, who among you wolves is willing to hunt down these Elves and show them no mercy, as opposed to spending precious time bickering over petty lupine politics?

[Oddwen]

Heroes amongst us? *howls* I hate Heroes. And they taste so bitter...

I say we killkillkillkillhahahaaa*howwwwwwwlllllll*

But who? The Fairy Eater? The Warg?

But first, onto breakfast!

I see that you wargs are thrifty on courage too.

Now I would also question our butcher? Since when do we need our meat cut for us. It seems to me that he could be one of those vicious, foul bright eyes and deserves my fangs in his weak flesh. I say we kill Glirdan!
