Werewolf II

[Dragon_Rider]

((that it is))

The sun has finally finished its descent below the horizon and our village of Tymanius is fully covered in darkness save for the light of the heavenly bodies in the dark sky and torches carried by the villagers. The villagers fall silent as Lucky, the mayor of this unfortunate town steps up on the wooden gallows hastily constructed by Selrahc, the hangman. Lucky clears his throat and then speaks.

"Good, um... yeah, Good peoples of the town of Tymanius, I call your attention! As you all know, the scribe Korith has met an untimely, and rather gruesome, end at the claws of werewolves! This town now shows signs of infection of lycanthropy most foul! I now leave you all in the hands of Tormsskull, our Master of these oh-so-terrible Ceremonies. Tormsskull, if you would. With a hop, skip, and a jump Lucky descends from the gallows and Tormsskull, the skilled orator stands before the angry mob.

"As you all heard our esteemed mayor, Lucky the Leprechaun state, we have werewolves in our midst! It has been decided that every night, at this time as the sun just drops below the horizon that we will hang one person until this town is cleansed of this horrific disease. You, the people, have selected the first victim of our nightly rituals. Sneak! You have been charged by the general populous of Tymanius, our town, with being a werewolf! As such, our town Judge, Cain2005, has sentenced you to death by hanging!"

With that, the crowd of villagers cheers and begins to throw insults at Sneak, waving their pitchforks and torches in his direction. Then, Newbie, the Captain of the Guard and his two Assistant Guards, Veecher and Selrahc, seize Sneak and begin to take him towards the gallows. Sneak struggles the whole way, kicking and screaming... for all his calm talk during the last day, the prospect of death has finally hit home. His struggles are in vain, for the three guards escort him up to the platform where Selrahc, also serving as the town's hangman, places the noose around his neck and tightens it. Backing away, Selrahc puts his hand on the lever... Any last words, Sneak?, he says. Sneak mumbles something rather fowl and vulgar under his breath.

Then, Selrahc pulls the lever and the platform underneath Sneak gives way as he drops a few feet, then jerks to a stop. Through his strangled cries and clawing at the rope around his neck, you discern two faint words, Sneak's last will and testament before he passes into the afterlife.

Just...

Kidding...

As Sneak lets out his last breath of life, and hangs there motionless, everyone realizes that they did, in fact, just hang an innocent villager... Sneak was no werewolf, nor was he evil in any way...

Dismayed at what they had done, the villagers retreat back to their homes, leaving their troubles and Sneak's slightly swaying body for the morning. Perhaps when the Sun rises, Veecher, the undertaker, will have the heart for removing the corpse of poor, innocent Sneaks whose only fault was big, sarcastic mouth.

Night has completely overtaken the village, and there is a creeping suspicion that Sneak may not be the only death tonight...

(( The Seers, The Devil, The Werewolves, and The Baner must now PM Korith. The Sun will rise at 8:30 PM EST Friday, and then the fun continues. ))

[Sneak]

(( Woot! Too bad I can't be a ghost or anything. ))

[Flabbicus]

Bootstrap Rilik the Smith departs for his Forge, glancing around nervously for any attackers.

[Lucky]

After finding out the grave news, Lucky stands on the gallows again. Ummm... Ops?

[B-Man]

Poor Sneak. I am glad that I withdrew my accusation, but, alas, it did not help. The werewolves are still among us. It is getting late. I shall return to my home. Would anyone care to accomany me?

[Destro_Yersul]

Destro jumps into a different, kumquat free, rain barrel. He pulls the cover onto it and chuckles to himself.
"Nasty kumquats'll never find me here. hehe"

[The Valiant Turtle]

Sigh...

And I made him this nice ornate coffin because I thought he had recognized his condition and was nobly sacrificing himself for the sake of all Tymaniuns, and it turns out he was just a prankster. Waste of a really good coffin. At least his remains aren't as messy as poor Korith's were.

I sob a little bit and offer to escort B-Man home and share a last cup of coffee for the day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

[Madmal]

Mal leave sthe plaza and goes into his home
can't deny to say that i've lived a full life...oh well, we'll just see what tomorrow brings..

[ZombieRockStar]

((Nah! I'm only pulling you're leg. I'm not really Brian of Nazarus.))

*shakes his head*

I did tell you so, and now another one of us may die before morning.

/me takes his AK-47 with Ghost Touch silver bullets to bed with him.

[B-Man]

Thank you Raldor for accompanying me to my house. Here, have the last cup of coffee from my graffe.

B-Man pours Raldor the remainder of the coffee.

Keep an eye out for odd behavior.

B-Man enters his house, bolts the door, nails the windows shut, and sets many wards to protect him from anysort of intrusion. B-Man then opens a chest inside the closet and pulls out a silver sword and polishes it.

((Looks like I will have to use this to defend myself.))

/me falls asleep with sword in hand.

[Dispozition]

((Heh...Sneak wasn't a werewolf after all...Bummer?))

*Sighs and walks back to his house with his head hung low, muttering*

[Gralamin]

I told you people that sneak was just causing trouble!

*goes to bed*

(in other news i've decided to be lazy)

[Dragon_Rider]

((Might I suggest that when we create the third thread of this, which should happen two rounds from now at the latest, that we create it in the In-Character Game Forum? It justs seems to me that this thread might be more fitting of the forum than this one. And that way we don't have to worry about the three post rule. What do you guys think?))

(Well this forum does work well for theses type of things, its just a funny example. it is defintantly a SMBG, but with restrictions on who can post.)

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

The strange goblin rubs his chin again.

I believe this constitutes an 'I told you So'.

He then walks away, slamming and locking the flimsy door of his shack, not thirty feet away from the square.

[Bookman]

((If people stopped posting like it's a town thread I think we'd be fine.....seriously guys you can debate werewolves but right now it's a wee ridiciulous. And yes it should stay here in the SMBG))

/me sleeps and worries about werewolves

[veecher]

as the crowd thins i climb the gallows and retrieve the body. the least i can do is get him into his coffin where he will be safe from scavengers. perhaps ill even have enough time to get him into the ground before the wolves begin to howl.

/me sleeps and worries about werewolves

Theres almost 40 people (well 38 now)

[Alarra]

(the first incarnation of this game was in ic pbp actually, but i think it fits here better, especially with the trend of ic games we've been having of late)

[DungeonMaster77]

Well, off to my guard post. I shall do my best to stay safe, and do my rounds to keep you all alive. As there are most likely several wolves, I will drop by the tavern and check all who are there, and speak again as to who I believe to be innocent. I tried to be the voice of reason, trying to save Sneak, but you all would not listen. Just remember this, Tussy, I have my eye on you. If you get so much as too long of a beard, my silver tipped spear will pierce your heart...

[veecher]

god i hope werewolves dont like shovels...

[Weebl]

*weebl goes to his house, locks all lockable things and sleeps on a silver bed.

[Destro_Yersul]

Destro falls asleep in the barrel, lid still in place.

[smellie_hippie]

((If people stopped posting like it's a town thread I think we'd be fine.....seriously guys you can debate werewolves but right now it's a wee ridiciulous. And yes it should stay here in the SMBG))

((I don't exactly know what the difference is between posting on SMBG and posting in The Town. I just assumed that at some point we'd hit fifty posts, and the thread would be restarted to continue the game... Oh, and I won't be posting again until later tonight))

/me sniffles about missing out on the last cup of B-Man's coffee and goes home to wash some clothes for tomorrow.

[alcomoholik]

Newbie attempts to round up one of the other guards so they can do a check of the village perimiter before going to sleep for the night. He can be heard trying to reason out the events of the day to himself and how the quiet village of Tymanius could have lost 2 villagers in 24 hours with another likely to fall tonight!

[Tormsskull]

*sighs to himself*

*plays a melody for the dearly departed*

*notices the sun going down* T.S. packs his harp up and scurries into his humble home.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*Atreyu sleeps in the town stables, next to a horse with bad gas. Its unpleasant, but its safer than sleeping outdoors as he's used to doing.*

[Selrahc]

Selrahc throws caution to the wind and sleeps outside, completely unprotected. ;D

[Pocky]

*Pocky looks up at the corpse of poor Sneak*

<Man... that's terrible. I thought we were playing 'Point at the guy who's talking'.>

*looks at his 'Learn to Speak Like A Villager In One Day' book*

"Oops?"

*Pocky notices it's growing dark, and heads to his room at the inn to write a letter home*

(('Dear family,

This new village is interesting, but scary. Some poor calligraphist was killed by what I heard was an 'oo-air-oh-ru-fu', and I may have accidentally gotten someone hung while playing 'Point at the guy who's talking'. The transfer to this village has been very interesting. I hope to be back sooner than later, and preferably before being killed by one of these 'oo-air-oh-ru-fu'. Note, I should find out what a 'oo-air-oh-ru-fu' is. Love to everyone.'))

[Eldritch Knight]

/me casts Alarm, and then falls asleep, with his falchion within reach.
