Cantr II Discussion Forum

Dudel nodded at Mr. Black, "Hello Black... seems our Gollum needs a training." Dudel looked at the pathetic thing and shook his head, what a terrible creature but really it wasn't the creatures fault as much as others. "Wiro.. you may wish to keep your behavior a little more subtle," Dudel stated this as he stood then placed his hand on Mr. Black's shoulder, "Let the thing be."

He nodded sharply. "Thank you, Dudel." He cast another disgusted look in the direction of Wiro-Gollum. "Can't you house-train it or something?"

A dark-hooded man draped in a finely crafted cloak slowly strides in on mounted horse, slowly and condescendingly watching the fool's play go about. He deftly dismounts the horse and starts feeding it some liquid substance from his leather-stitched container. He says without looking at any of them,

"Fair weather. Let's not dampen the day with such disgusting foolery."

He watches the horse hungrily drink from the container and a small twitch of a smile defeats his scowl.

"What is the trouble here? What has my Lady beckoned me here for in such.. disdainful presence?"

*a brown haired man in white robes on a brown horse rides quickly into the area and stops next to Tangential. He reveals a long stick from under his robes, jumps off his horse, and quickly but firmly hits Tang on the head*

"An unusual presence we're with perhaps, but I think foolery is quite appropriate for this situation. Although, I'm still not sure exactly what the situation is."

Dudel looked at Wiro then at Mr. Black, "I think... house training would be best... for another." Dudel smiled awkwardly and sat himself back down in his chair again sitting a little skewed in the seat and greeted the two other men with a friendly nod.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I am not assured of the situation myself, but I believe that is something to do with the recent appearance of Sauron." He looks at the others. "Yes?"

[OOC: What, are we writing in the past tense now? I'm not sure about that, it kind of detracts from the immersion.]

A man approaches wearing a dark green cloak with a short sword bucked at his right, a plain dagger handle protruding from its scabbard on the right side of his belt. The rest of his clothing is in dark, unnassuming brown or green tones, and his hair is dark brown and of medium length. He has a short, brushy moustache and light stubble, but is otherwise fair-skinned.

He comes on foot, leading a spotted greyish-white horse by the reins. The horse seems peaceful, almost morose, its head held low and its eyes almost closed. There are some small bags distributed evenly on either side of the saddles.

As he comes near to the gathering he leans close to the horse and whispers to it, barely audible, before taking two or three small bags from the saddle and hanging them from his belt. He then ties the it by the reins to a tree, and strokes it gently for a while before turning to the others.

He seats himself on tree stump near to the table and crosses his legs, observing the others carefully, before drawing a rolled up parchment from within his cloak and unfolding it.

I was sent this message by one of the servants of Sauron...

He looks down at the letter and begins to read its contents:

Hi joo. If you are the traitor, please add the word "cloak" in your next post. Everyone gets this message, but I have added a different word to each message.

He chuckles slightly and shakes his head.

So, it seems that Saruman has no time to waste with his plotting and scheming... I may be a simple man, but I am not stupid enough to be drawn into this intrigue so fast. His plan to identify the traitor will not work if we all read out the letters we recieved from him.

Anybody who does not read out their letter will be revealed as evil.

So, *Gestures to the others* I invite you all to read the letters you got.

Wiro hopped off and mumbled something.
A translator was asked to come, and he identified Wiro's words as:
"Hi wiro
If you are the traitor, please add the word "window" in your next post.
Everyone gets this message, but i have added a different word to each message."

He jumped up and down of excitement and then mumbled two weird words, on which the translator said: "I got one too! I got one too! But! But! Why did Mr. Joo add the word cloak to his post anyway? Is it hint? Is it hint to dark people? OH ME SEES SOMETHING ELSE! Why did Joo change the format of the PM? Or did the gread god of mailing do this? Or was this done on purpose to cause confusion? Or maybe Joo couldn't be bothered to send one to himself as well, and so he wrote one all over again and wrote "I" exactly like that. While it was CERTAINLY uncapitalized and in another format for me! Did anyone else receive message? From dark people? Please tell!"

Wiro giggled and fell asleep again.

From the shades a hardly audible voice said:
"I received a message too. It says:
Hi tiamo
If you are the traitor, please add the word "sunlight" in your next post.
Everyone gets this message, but i have added a different word to each message.
There is no signature.

So you think those messages come from Saruman, Joo?"

*Looks at Wiro with a slightly pitying look on his face* You are really are a fool, aren't you? I am certain that the only time I mentioned "cloak" was when I was reading the letter -- unless you saw the cloak I'm wearing now and got what you saw confused with what you heard... and as for the format of the letter, unless you have some power to read my mind that I am not aware of, you cannot have seen how it was written -- only the words which I read.

He closes his eyes momentarily before extending a hand to stroke the creature's head.

Perhaps it would be best if you did not try to involve yourself in our affairs... you will only end up confusing yourself and everybody else. And you'll have to try a bit harder than that if you want to make us waste our time by lynching you, of all people. *Smiles*

He seems to ponder for a few seconds before turning to Tiamo.

Yes, I do believe that we recieved these messages from Saruman... after all, unless I am mistaken, he is the only one among us who has the power to send such messages.

He nodded thoughtfully and unrolled a message. "Hi mr Black
If you are the traitor, please add the word "leather seat" in your next post.
Everyone gets this message, but i have added a different word to each message." He shook his head. "The man's using psychological warfare, I believe. Just ignore Saruman. He can do no real damage to our cause."

My message is this:

"Hi joshuamonkey
If you are the traitor, please add the word "eyes" in your next post.
Everyone gets this message, but i have added a different word to each message."

The sun slowly crawls into shadows as the world turns dark. Out of fear of Sauron, the people everywhere run inside buildings for the night, waiting out and hoping they are not the first to die.

Night time, please send in your roles. Remember, you get one post throughout the entire game at night, use it wisely.

[edit]
OOC: oh wait.. throughout the entire game? lol in that case, I'm not posting at night. My bad. I'll wait till after the day starts.
