2011 SUBSIM Werewolf Game Thread

[Lord Justice]

* As L J was finishing cleaning up the remains, he found something odd, and sneakly put it in his pocket * " Herr Rear, Herr Tinman, the job is done. May I speak with my officer please about the arrangements of the burial "

[Raptor1]

I'm not sure, but you've seen how these Germans behave yesterday and this morning. No, I wouldn't have believed they were capable of doing something like this either, and I have no idea what they achieve by it, but it seems to me to be the likeliest explanation.

*turns to Tarrasque*

Yes, Mr. Tarrasque, do it.

[mookiemookie]

I'm not sure, but you've seen how these Germans behave yesterday and this morning. No, I wouldn't have believed they were capable of doing something like this either, and I have no idea what they achieve by it, but it seems to me to be the likeliest explanation.

*turns to Tarrasque*

Yes, Mr. Tarrasque, do it.

Perhaps we should ask for a sit down with Herr HunterIXC to find out what's happened here?

[Tarrasque]

"Aye Aye Sir!"

*Turns to the men*

"You heard the captain. Dismissed! And if anyone comes across Mr Vendor, I want a word!"

*Turns back to the officers*

"Do you need me for anything else sir?"

[The Enigma]

knock knock. The Enigma is knocking at the office door of Hauptmann Rear
*waits and knocks again, but got no answer*

Hmmm :hmmm:
Maybe Rear is still at the POW camp.
Scheiße, now I have to go all the way back again.

*Enigma returns back to the POW campground*

[Raptor1]

I suppose we have no other choice...Yes, Mr. Tarrasque, try to get the attention of one of the Germans and ask him if Mr. Mookie and I can meet with their commander. He still hasn't supplied us with an explanation.

[Tarrasque]

"Sir."

*Walks to the fence and spots Gemeiner The Enigma returning*

"Oi! My skipper wants to meet with your boss. Be a good fella and arrange it!"

[HunterICX]

Reply to Nisgeis:

Indeed...they're far more interesting then we initially thought them to be.
If it where the food I would've killed the cook too for giving me indigestions.

*lits his pipe*

Yes.....Agreed we should eliminate their leadership as soon as possible....but shouldn't we have a bit of fun with the lower ranks first...perhaps we should try and see how much information we can squeeze out of them or perhaps having them doubt their own leadership.

As for shooting the Captain....I would shoot his Sub-Lieutenant first, have the captain's leadership crumble before his fall...he seems to be very hot headed....maybe he'll snap if we shoot his trusty Sub-Lieutenant which could lead to interesting developments dont you agree?

And I think we should get the American first for some ''questions'' he seems way out of place amongst the other crew members. Would you like to do the honor?

[The Enigma]

@ Tarrasque:
I will see to it Tommy, as soon as I have found him.

[August]

*He heads to the kitchen to get himself some breakfast and some bacon for Harras.*

Where he sees August in the Mess Hall just finishing his breakfast.

August says:
"I see that I am on the duty roster as Corporal of the Guard tonight so I should be turning in, but in light of the circumstances I think i'll go around and do an operators maintenance on all the tower machine guns. Before you go off duty bring an extra 100 round can of of belted tracer rounds up to each tower. If something happens tonight I want us to be prepared."

[Tinman764]

*Sees The Enigma talking to the British Prisoners*

"Gemeiner! What are you doing here? I thought you were patroling the castle grounds?"

*Turns to Rear*

"Sir, would you like me to take over the patrol? The Enigma has been on duty for a while now."

*To Lord Justice*

"Tommie, why are you still here? I told you to leave the mop and join your men... go!"

[Lord Justice]

* L J returns to his fellow crew members * Captain may I have a word?

[Tarrasque]

*Returns to Raptor1 and subtly pulls him to one side.*

"Sir. Have you thought about the other possibilities about that exit? It might be possible for one of us to get out and repay the favour.

Those murdering bastards have it coming and well...Bakkels deserves vengeance.

Certainly if one of us slits that slimy SS scum's throat, he won't be coming back here and killing anymore of us."

((LYNCH VOTE FOR NISGEIS))

[The Enigma]

@ Tinman764:

Ich melde mich gehorsamst Gefreiter Tinman764.
Gefreiter, That Tommy want's to talk to our 'boss'.
He didn't mention when or why, so it seems there is no hurry.

By the way, while inspecting the fence I noticed that somebody made a whole in it.
Not a big one, but it definitely needs our attention.
I was looking for Hauptmann Rear, to report it, but he wasn't at his office.

[Tinman764]

*Watches Lord Justice return to his men*

"Hauptmann Rear, I must speak with you sir. That man that was asleep during all of this... it wasn't natural - is here still in there? Sir, anyone that needs that much rest during the day must have been up to something very tired the night before - I think we have our murderer here sir!"

((Vote for Lynching - Vendor))

[Raptor1]

Yes, Mr. Tarrasque, that has most certainly crossed my mind. Speaking of which, would you mind trying to use the breach we found in the fence to scout tonight?

*turns to Lord Justice*

Yes, Petty Officer, what is it?

[Tinman764]

@ Tinman764:

"The Hauptmann is just here," *points to the corner of the bunkhouse where the remains were found*
"Tell him of our guests request, no need to bother the Oberst, I'm sure they just want to complain about their treatment anyway. I shall take a look at this hole, point me to it please."

[Lord Justice]

Hold on one second, Mr. Tarrasque.

*turns to Lord Justice*

Yes, Petty Officer, what is it?I have just cleaned up Bakkels, bagged and tagged! What of the burial arrangements? * In silence tone he whispers to the captain * I need a word alone its something very odd sir, of the upmost importance.

[August]

Where he sees August in the Mess Hall just finishing his breakfast.

August says:
"I see that I am on the duty roster as Corporal of the Guard tonight so I should be turning in, but in light of the circumstances I think i'll go around and do an operators maintenance on all the tower machine guns. Before you go off duty bring an extra 100 round can of of belted tracer rounds up to each tower. If something happens tonight I want us to be prepared."


August stops at the door, turns and says:

"You know I'm glad that we both guarded the Englishman last night. It means we can trust that we are who we appear to be.

What happened in the Stalag last night reminds me of dark stories that my grandfather used to tell about a fell beast called the Werewolf...."

And with that he leaves.

[Raptor1]

We still haven't managed to obtain tools to bury him, but I'll speak with their commander about that.

*takes Petty Officer Justice to the far side of the room and whispers*

What did you find?

[The Enigma]

@ Tinman764:

Zum befehl, bitte folgen sie mir.
*Enigma walks along the the fence at the left side of the POW camp. Near Bunkhaus A he points to a hole, just above the soil.*

Sehen sie mal, hier ist es (Take a look, here it is).

[Lord Justice]

We still haven't managed to obtain tools to bury him, but I'll speak with their commander about that.

*takes Petty Officer Justice to the far side of the room and whispers*

What did you find?* dipping into his pocket L J pulls out a fleshy part finger from Bakkels. * Well sir don't you see it?

[Raptor1]

No, I don't believe I do. Is that Mr. Bakkels' finger?

[Lord Justice]

No, I don't believe I do. Is that Mr. Bakkels finger?Look closely Captain under the nail, You see those course spiky hairs sticking out!!!

[Raptor1]

*looks closely*

Ah, yes, Mr. Justice, I see what you are referring to. That is indeed rather odd...

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda sits alone on the bunkhouse stoop. He is deep in thought.

"So a man dies. Dies horribly. And all I can see is callous Germans and the Brits with their stiff upper lip. The way those Krauts pushed us around, we weren't even human. And that guy with the dog; what the hell kind of dog was that. It liked all the blood. Human blood. I think he could have done it. Either him, or that guy that we can't find.....what was his name.......Vendor? Yeah, that's him. Vendor. What the hell, we get captured and he just goes away. Then this happens? I bet it was Vendor. Yes, it was Vendor. In fact, if I had to choose the killer, it would be Vendor."

[Oberon]

*Oberon stares after August and shudders involuntarily. Werewolves...nonsense. There is nothing to fear except fear itself...and spiders.*

"Right, I guess I'd better take these belts of ammo up to the towers and then..."

*He yawns*

"Turn in myself...it was a long night."

*He picks up the ammo from the armory and takes them up to the towers as requested by August and then he heads down to the barracks...on the way he pauses by the kennel room.*

"Hmmm..."

*He opens the gates and clicks his fingers. Harras runs out and leaps up at him.*

"Come Harras, you're going to sleep next to me for now I think...just in case..."

*He heads to the barracks and gets into a bunk, Harras lies down on the floor next to him and curls up.*

((Lynch vote for Vendor))

[Tinman764]

@ Tinman764:

Zum befehl, bitte folgen sie mir.
*Enigma walks along the the fence at the left side of the POW camp. Near Bunkhaus A he points to a hole, just above the soil.*

Sehen sie mal, hier ist es (Take a look, here it is).

"The English have been busy, thank you Gemeiner, please tell the Hauptmann of this. I shall attempt to find out who is responsible."

*Walks to Bunkhouse A and throws open the door*

"Attention Englishmen! Who is responsible for the attempted escape under the fence outside this building?! Step forward whoever you are!"

[Lord Justice]

*looks closely*

Ah, yes, Mr. Justice, I see what you are referring to. That is indeed rather odd...Indeed sir, and when I bagged his hands apart from this ripped finger it was like he he well had been grabiing hold of something a struggle i found more of those spikes as I mopped up!!

[Rear]

*Watches Lord Justice return to his men*

"Hauptmann Rear, I must speak with you sir. That man that was asleep during all of this... it wasn't natural - is here still in there? Sir, anyone that needs that much rest during the day must have been up to something very tired the night before - I think we have our murderer here sir!"

((Vote for Lynching - Vendor))

Rear has had time to ponder what Gefreiter Tinman said to him a while ago. He had to agree that it was certainly strange that Vendor slept through the entire murder.

((Vote for Lynching - Vendor))

[The Enigma]

The Enigma turns back to the castle to report to Hauptmann Rear.
Before reporting in, he decide to have something to eat in the kitchen.
Thinking over what had happened today, Schütze Enigma doesn't feel
comfortable. Even worse, his stomach no longer accepts the food he's trying to
eat.

*sigh*
Ich fühle mich nicht wohl wen ich daran denke was da passiert sein
kante (I'm not feeling so well when I start thinking of what has happened today).

*Talking to himself*

Who could have done such terrible thing?
Wait, who isn't there right now. Who is keeping low profile??
I can only think of one person. It's one of those English dorks.

Yes, that must be it. It must be that Tommy called Vendor.
If I have it may way, let's lynch that guy.

[Task Force]

Well... (setting in his bunk) Guess ill turn in for the night. Not much i can do.

Atleast from what i can tell. Most of Bakkels remains are gone... from what i can tell atleast.

Well, Im sure this will be just a one time thing... or at least i hope so.

(lynch vote for Vendor, somethings odd about that guy, too quiet. Who knows what secrets he hides.)

[Nisgeis]

As for shooting the Captain....I would shoot his Sub-Lieutenant first, have the captain's leadership crumble before his fall...he seems to be very hot headed....maybe he'll snap if we shoot his trusty Sub-Lieutenant which could lead to interesting developments dont you agree?

And I think we should get the American first for some ''questions'' he seems way out of place amongst the other crew members. Would you like to do the honor?

"The Sub-Lieutenant would not have been my choice, but I can see a certain mockery in the plan. Cut off the neck and let the head see the body die. Very amusing."

"I am pleased we are on the same page with the reporter. I had thought of suggesting him, but I dared not. What a perfect cover - asking all sorts of inane questions at all times. He may have picked up on some subtleties of the environment to provide us with information. He may be of use, if he decides to co-operate."

"Above all else, we must protect this savage entitiy, give it safe harbour, so we may learn from it. None must be allowed to harm it!"

"Now, if you will excuse me, I will post up a proposal to the company to execute our friend the Sub-lieutenant."

Nisgeis walked over to the mess and pinned up a note addressed to all Germans that he had already written:

"Dear comrades,

It saddens me to inform you that one of our undercover operatives, whose real name is Bert Straud, active code name of Bakkels, was murdered today by the Britishers in their own camp. The attack came from within their camp as there was no sign of entry or exit, so one of their number must be responsible.

Bakkels had vital information that would have shortened the war by six months, but he was not able to deliver it, due to the savage and inhuman attack upon his person.

Ultimately it is the responsibility of Captain Raptor1 of the Britishers that our man was murdered, but suspicion for the act itself has fallen on Sub-Lieutenant Mookiemookie.

He was seen talking to Bakkels shortly before he was found mutilated and was heard to laugh about the mutilation later to Captain Raptor1. "They'd do the same for me" he was heard to say over our eletrical surveilance system. "Good Work" Captain Raptor1 replied to him.

I am sure we can all agree that such an act of murder against one of our own should not go unpunished and I am therefore calling upon the German contingent to vote for vengance against Sub-Lieutenant Mookiemookie. We must maintain the upperhand and control them."

Nisgeis takes a pen and writes "I Nisgeis, vote for Mookiemookie to be shot".

[Raptor1]

I see, Mr. Justice. Keep an eye out for anything else out of the ordinary.

*turns as Tinman enters the room*

What the hell are you talking about?

[The Enigma]

Since he couldn't eat anything, Enigma went to Hauptmann Rear

*saluts*
Bitte vielmals um Entschuldigung Hauptmann Raer, aber es ist sehr wichtig.
Es ist ein Loch im Zaun gefunden (Sorry to disturb you Sir, but it's important.
There has been a hole discovered in the fence of the POW Camp.

[Tinman764]

"Come on Tommies! I want a name! If the coward that made the hole wont come forward then we shall just have to send each one of you to Herr Nisgeis for questioning! You!" *points to Lord Justice* "you are one of the Oberbootsmann, yes? A, er.. petty officer? You know more than most what your men are doing - who made the hole?"

[Raptor1]

Made the hole? Made the hole? If you Germans had built a proper POW camp, maybe you wouldn't have the need to go and blame random people...Oh, and thanks for informing us about it, very convenient of you...

[HunterICX]

*Reading Nisgeis's note and marks the note with the Reich's stamp*

((vote ''Sub Lieutenant MookieMookie'' to be shot))

[Lord Justice]

*points to Lord Justice* "you are one of the Oberbootsmann, yes? A, er.. petty officer? You know more than most what your men are doing - who made the hole?"Fascinating, I didnt realise, I have been on various work tasks, and I am rather tired, my strength is sapping when can we eat??

[Tinman764]

Made the hole? Made the hole? If you Germans had built a proper POW camp, maybe you wouldn't have the need to go and blame random people...

"Oh, don't worry Captain, we will soon have you on your way to a proper POW camp! But until then you will have to make do with our meager facilities.
You wanted to see the Oberst, didn't you? Well, i shall inform him of your request after I have also told him of your attempts to escape... we will see how willing he is to bow to your demands then, shall we!?"

*Slams the door shut and walks towards the castle*

Arrogant swine! Who the hell do they think they are?? I hope whatever it was that visited them last night decides to come back for a 2nd helping!

[Rear]

Since he couldn't eat anything, Enigma went to Hauptmann Rear

*saluts*
Bitte vielmals um Entschuldigung Hauptmann Raer, aber es ist sehr wichtig.
Es ist ein Loch im Zaun gefunden (Sorry to disturb you Sir, but it's important.
There has been a hole discovered in the fence of the POW Camp.

"Are you certain, schütze? We must deal with this at once. Let us grab some spare wire from the armoury to seal this hole."

Rear heads towards the armoury with schütze The Enigma

[Nisgeis]

Made the hole? Made the hole? If you Germans had built a proper POW camp, maybe you wouldn't have the need to go and blame random people...Oh, and thanks for informing us about it, very convenient of you...

Nisgeis steps out from behind Tinman.

"Ah Captain Raptor1, we are not a 'POW Camp' as you so crudely call us. We are so much more."

"Think of us as... a research facility, situated out of the way and for good reason. I'm sure you can work out why - with your insider knowledge."

"Tell me... your sub-lieutenant... Mookiemookie is it? He has a sweetheart back home? Do you happen to know what her favourite flower is?"

[Tarrasque]

*Looks significantly at Raptor1 from behind Nisgeis' back*

[Raptor1]

Ah, yes, I can work out why, I have ample evidence of why the German military would send you murderous lot off to a useless place such as this. Oh, and are you threatening to murder my first officer now? How very subtle.

[Tinman764]

*Drops the cigarette he was about to light, in surprise at Nisgeis' appearance.*

[Lord Justice]

* L J fears they are trying to starve us to death!! and what of the magazines paper pencils we were promised for tonights lock down, it has been a tough day * " where is our food and provisions? I need to go wash my friends blood of me, I think you should at least provide us with some paper, pencils, magazines, the men are low! I would be much obliged. "

[Rear]

Hauptmann Rear arrives at the armoury to find the door left wide open.

"Was?! Which idiot left this open? I bet it was that dumkopf Oberon again. Third time this month..."

Rear scrawls a notice in large letters and hammers it onto the door: 'KEEP DOOR SHUT AT ALL TIMES. NO SMOKING.'

"Schutze The Enigma, grab some of that barbed wire at the back there. Ja, next to the spare mines and the faulty metal detector."

[Tinman764]

"hmm Sorry there "old boy", but as we aren't running a proper POW camp here we really dont have the provisions to spare... I suppose we could provide 1 meal every 2 days or so... I think. Yes, I saw a rat in the kitchen last night in fact, I'll see if he's been caught yet - you my yet get your meal today!" *smiles and closes the door*

[Nisgeis]

Oh, and are you threatening to murder my first officer now? How very subtle.

"How could a gesture of kindness be taken in such a way? How could you draw such a conclusion? The mind boggles. I fear Captain that your own men are uncontrollable and are about to turn inwards upon themselves. Do not let the crystals of paranoia creep into your vision and affect your judgement."

"We have provided you with food, shelter and warmth since you graced us with your presence, but it seems that a growing contingent of your own men seem dissatisfied with your leadership. In fact, and I should not be telling you this, they plot to murder one of your own."

"As much as we have tried to control events, I fear the strength of feeling is so strong that even Oberst HunterIXC is unable to exert influence over even our own men. If you lose control of your men, then there really is very little we can do to protect your men. Internal security among your own men is your own concern, Captain."

"No entry or exit was forced from the POW camp quarters and yet a murder took place. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the assailant did not leave your company."

[Raptor1]

Clearly you fail to see the obvious. Only you Germans had the capability of doing something such like this, and the fact that exit and entry wasn't forced only indicates the murderer had the key.

And I would not be surprised if your Oberst cannot control his own men. Even Herr Hitler himself could not instill discipline in such a group of barbarians...

Ah the old divide and conquer routine, is it? Straight out of Himmler's playbook, I'd wager. Well, your attempts to sow discontent amongst us will fail, Herr Nisgeis. I doubt any sane man of His Majesty's navy will take counsel on whom to trust from a bloody SS officer. Do as you will. Shoot me, leave me be, it matters not to me. But know this: every Englishman you put down only strengthens the resolve of the rest. You'd do well to resist the urge to execute us willy nilly when you have an insubordinate murderer amongst your contingent.

((lynch vote for Vendor - only because he's MIA))

[Tinman764]

*Arrives back at the castle and sees Hauptmann Rear outside the armory*

"Herr Hauptmann, I'm returning the MP40 to the stores, no rounds fired.. oh and these 3 magazines also for the stores. If you don't mind Sir, I'm going to get some sleep, the British are moaning for food and water and have dug a small hole in the ground near Bunkhouse A, which nobody will own up to. Nisgeis is currently down there playing mind games with the stupid englishmen haha." *yawn*

[Lord Justice]

********* PO Is swaying to vote one of his own officers, his men are hungry, dirty, thirsty, and getting very low on morale **********

[Raptor1]

*thinks to himself*

Clearly that Nisgeis person is the most psychotic out of this bunch. He speaks cryptically as if anyone takes his nonsense seriously, but he might even be insane enough to brutally murder someone. I dare say I would not mind it if someone were to slit his throat.

[HunterICX]

*walks in the bunk*

Nisgeis...you flatter me...you're too kind.

Ah..there you are (Tinman764....you're up for leave) tonight my friend, just make sure you pass by the armoury to store your weapons...with the rate you lose pistols and weapons we'll run out soon.
now off you go.

Captain......you're the one to talk about discipline...especially after how your beloved cook turned out...well actually inside out from what I saw.
Trouble to control your temper or that of the others? Quite barbaric to do such a thing to your own crew....'tschk...tschk' if we want to get rid of someone we just shoot him...way more civilized don't you think?

anyway Captain you don't mind if we borrow the American do you? Nisgeis and I have some questions for him....don't worry Captain if he doesn't return you won't mind will you now? after all he's just an American....who cares about them!

Nisgeis if you please *points to the American*

Captain *lifts hat and turns away*

[Nisgeis]

Clearly you fail to see the obvious. Only you Germans had the capability of doing something such like this, and the fact that exit and entry wasn't forced only indicates the murderer had the key.

And I would not be surprised if your Oberst cannot control his own men. Even Herr Hitler himself could not instill discipline in such a group of barbarians...

"I'm sorry... what was that Captain? I couldn't hear your explanation over the sound of the explosives you used in that theory of how the Germans had murdered a man. Oh yes, I heard that conversation. Yourself and Mookiemookie discussing the possibility that the Germans had used explosives to stage the murder."

"How do you explain that no one heard a sound, if explosives were employed? It seems to me like this was a conversation between two conspirators, cooking up a plausible excuse. Now, if either of you have anything... shall we say... definite to tell me, then I will of course defend you to the last. However, if you are merely grasping at straws, then I shall not be interested."

"Do you seriously expect anyone to believe your explosives story, over the far more obvious and demonstrable attacking beast explanation?"

"I expect you two to stick together, as you obvisouly have something more than poor reasoning to hide."

[Raptor1]

Oh, so now you cook up some insane theory based on a piece of overheard conversation? It would not have been hard for a German with an axe or some other piece of heavy equipment to come in here and savage poor Mr. Bakkels even without explosives. Attacking beast? Ha. That would only work if you Jerries had let one in here in the first place. If it's so demonstrable, perhaps you should show us your beast...

[Pioneer]

From the opposite bunkhouse the comings and going of the Germans have been "watched". The Germans parading about, all entering and leaving the castle from some obscured entry point or gate to the south. Their timings were almost identical, 2 minutes to walk from the East turret, along the wall, before crossing downhill to the compound. Three minutes to walk back. All of them walked the same path.

The activity on the side of the other bunkhouse by the first Jerry - Pioneer had not yet named him - suggested that the fence line may be repaired. But there was still the matter the Captain needed to see. Captain Raptor may be able to shed light.

The Captain was walking through the compound with the Sub Mookie. Now was the time. As they began walking the inside track of the fenceline Pioneer feigned indigent and began walking backwards towards them. They met with a slight touch.

"Begging your pardon Captain," his hand diving into the Captains jacket. "Anyone would think I was reading The Times."

His hand retracted as he smiled, leaving the note for his Captain. He turned and walked off, pacing out the compound again.

[Rear]

"Schutze The Enigma, grab some of that barbed wire at the back there. Ja, next to the spare mines and the faulty metal detector."

"Schutze, you have orders to seal that hole in the fence as best you can before the sun sets. I am going to get some sleep since I had no rest at all last night. I will be in the officer's quarters if you need me, but if I do not answer when you knock on my door it is because I am asleep and you should report directly to the Oberst rather than wake me."

Rear makes sure the armoury is locked up tight and heads off to his bunk.

[Nisgeis]

Oh, so now you cook up some insane theory based on a piece of overheard conversation? It would not have been hard for a German with an axe or some other piece of heavy equipment to come in here and savage poor Mr. Bakkels even without explosives. Attacking beast? Ha. That would only work if you Jerries had let one in here in the first place. If it's so demonstrable, perhaps you should show us your beast...

"You abandon the explosives theory then? It was a weak theory and not worthy of one who wishes to deceive his comrades. How could you have ever convinced them that they had not heard the explosives you claim ripped apart Bakkels' chest. It was an elementary mistake."

"But, you know... if you do want to tell me something... then I am listening. If you are a certain type, then, we should come to an arrangement. No one need know, but really you must stop with the unbelievable scenarios before you are discovered. I can help you, if you wish it."

"Mr. Bakkels was one of our operatives and would not have been attacked by one of his countrymen. His loss will be felt deeply by the whole of Germany."

Nisgeis turns and walks back to his quarters.

[Lord Justice]

* Angry about lack of provisions, and lack of communication about the secret find under Bakkels nail and body, L J leaves the room and heads into the compound *

[Raptor1]

*opens the door and shouts at the leaving Nisgeis*

When you see your commander, tell him my men need food and water!

[Nisgeis]

Nisgeis wanders off to search through the Widows's Den, to keep his skills fresh. It would be a few hours until the American newsman was in the interrogation cell, so he might as well fill the time investigating part of the castle.

EDIT: Window's changed to Widow's D'oh!

[Lord Justice]

* Sports Pioneer in the compound * "Seaman come here "

[Tinman764]

At last! A night off! Maybe I wont be turning in so early after all!

But what shall I do with my leave? Head out of the camp and look around? At night? In the dark? Yes! The English submarine... a perfect time to investigate.

[Tarrasque]

*To Raptor1*

"Do you need me for anything else tonight Sir, as other wise I'll get my head down."

[Raptor1]

No, Mr. Tarrasque, there does not appear to be anything more to do for now...

:::responding to the beck and call from :::

Yes PO. Whats your game sailor??

[Tarrasque]

"Then I'll bid you good night sir."

*Tarrasque heads to his bunkhouse and when no-one is looking sneaks into the hole through the wire. He decides to head south as previously ordered to see what he can see and possibly gain access to the boat, and her stored equipment.*

[Pioneer]

"Looking for a way out of here sir. I picked the pocket of one of the guards while they were all looking at the Cook sir. One of them had something written in German, I passed it off into the pocket of the Captain while he and and the Sub were walking the wire."

He lowered his voice.

"There's something very wrong about this place sir. We may be in Finland, but how many castles are built on a sandy base? This castle wasn't built here, it was brought here, and if the Jerries shipped this here, one brick at a time, they brought it here to keep something covered up. Something evil sir."

[Tinman764]

Gefreiter Tinman casually walks into the kitchen... empty, good... now where are you hiding... ah! there, a nice big bottle of Schnaps, perfect for what I have in mind.
Hiding the bottle inside his coat he heads out into the courtyard, past the armorey. "The Oberst told me to check in my weapon before I leave camp. But I really would feel much better with it at my side.. besides, who would unlock the door for me now? I bet the Herr Rear has already turned in anyway."
As he passes through the gate house he sees Gemeiner AVGWarhawk in the garden, tending to his crops.

"Good evening, Herr AWGWarhawk! I look forward to another meal with your fine vegetables!"

Following the path toward the dock, the guard tower quickly comes into view.

"Hello up there!" No answer. "Hello?" Still nothing

Muttering under his breath Tinman climbs the steps into the tower, "if your asleep in here, so help me..." It's empty, nobody is guarding the submarine.
"So much for needing the Schaps!" It's too awkward to carry any further, so he leaves the bottle in the observation deck of the guard tower. "Whoever is up here next will have a nice surprise." He climbs down and boards the British submarine through one of the open aft hatches.

[Lord Justice]

"There's something very wrong about this place sir. We may be in Finland, but how many castles are built on a sandy base? This castle wasn't built here, it was brought here, and if the Jerries shipped this here, one brick at a time, they brought it here to keep something covered up. Something evil sir."* holding back his anger * Yes ok sailor, I agree there is something not right, but let me tell you this sunshine, whilst you been swanning about, joe muggins here has been getting left in the dark and all the work detail. I am not pleased at my own crew. 1 The officers are to busy canoodling with the Jerrys high command to worry about the lower officers and rates. Damn it man, I have requested on numerous occassions food water and materials to keep us occupied! Yes primary objective is to escape, perhaps I am being used as a decoy a pawn while you all skulk about. I cleaned up Bakkels today you do remember him dont you? that all said, yes there is something evil here, once the Captain decides to stop his merry dance then perhaps he will brief you and we can all have a chinese parliment discussion about it!! I am loosing it sailor, perhaps you would like a fight?? Queensbury rules get some of the old steam out?? If chief has anything to do with it I will put him down too!! well?

[Tinman764]

Inside the submarine the air is damp and stale, there is a strong smell of rotten eggs. "At least the lights are still working. This must be the battery room... the smell!"
A few wooden crate lay around, most with the lids already open showing the contents of oranges, bananas and lemons.
Tinman tries to open one of the other crates, but without any tools it's impossible.
"Should have brought a damn crowbar instead of that bottle!"
A quick search of the room reveals nothing else.

[Raptor1]

*overhears the conversation outside and approaches Lord Justice*

Good Lord, man! If you have any useful suggestions, inform the officers. We cannot afford to lose our discipline like these bloody Jerries!

*turns to Pioneer and brandishes the note he slipped him*

What is this?

[Pioneer]

* holding back his anger * Yes ok sailor, I agree there is something not right, but let me tell you this sunshine, whilst you been swanning about, joe muggins here has been getting left in the dark and all the work detail.

"Darkness is falling sir, night is approaching. What can be accomplish now before the sun goes down?"

:::thinks about nominating the PO for lynching::::

"And what of the guard sir. Let us take one of the guards tonight and seize his weapon."

:::Pioneer nominates Nisgeis for lynching::::

"Perhaps we should invite Herr Nisgeis for a good old fashioned British lynching and see what truths he may have,sir."

[Tinman764]

Moving into the main engine room, the smell of rotten eggs is masked by the smell of diesel, engine oil and exhust fumes.
"How can people live like this? It's not human!"
The engine room led into an area with of small beds lining both sides of the boat, stacked 3 high.
What's that there? Sticking out from underneath one of the wafer thin mattresses, he could see the corner of a small black book, he pulled it free and begin to read it.

[Lord Justice]

* PO calms down and speaks with Captain and Pioneer * Look here, I bagged Bakkels earlier, his stench is still coming out the bags. I have his finger in my pocket, with jaggy spikes sticking out from under his nails, if you can get me a piece of paper or two and a pencil, I shall return to my bunk quietly and aid in any overpowering of any jerry you wish. *Salutes and returns to bunk house*

[HunterICX]

*takes ones of the comfy chairs in the great hall and rests in it while smoking his pipe*

''closes eyes sinking in his thoughts and starts thinking of the glory days of the German Reich shortly after the victory over France....now I'm stuck here and some of the men are showing a bit lack of following orders and discipline....it's the drinking....it's that drinking! can't affort this kind of behaviour after the latest developments. Well it's all about to change...'' *a satisfying smile displays on the face*

[Raptor1]

*looks around at the darkening camp*

Paper and pencils? I can't even get a handwave of an explanation out of these bastards, let alone anything useful...Damn those Germans. Damn this island. I've gotten my crew out of enough dangerous situations and, by God, I shall get them out of this mess as well!

*seeing nothing he can do, heads back to Bunkhouse A and lies down on his bunk*

[Lord Justice]

* PO stands up as captain enters and lies on bed, reaching into his pocket PO pulls bakkels finger out again, and hands it to the Captain! " Scrutinize that sir, he had a struggle, feel those hairs look at the thickness of them. I am going to search the yanks bunk for some paper before the enemy does, and no doubt they will, look how he almost broke today, and now the black clad guy is questioning it only be a matter of time."

Yes, I've seen it, Mr. Justice. As I've said, be on the lookout for anything else out of the ordinary, something is definitely fishy around here. As for the Yank, I'm not quite sure what they want from him, unless they just enjoy torturing people, but we can be sure his night will most certainly not be pleasant...

In either case, there's not much more I can do today. If you don't mind, I'll attempt to get some rest.

*lowers the cap over his eyes*

[Lord Justice]

With a careful sweep of the hand under the Mattress " Hello what's this " ?? * It was a small notepad, blank paper, though there was pages torn out, PO lifts the notepad and returns to Bunkhouse A, conceals the small notepad and pencil, and feeling hungry, tired and parched flops on to bunk and reminds himself to thank, and make an apology to the seaman Pioneer.

[the_tyrant]

No vote, I would observe today.

[Onkel Neal]

Hauptmann Rear and Oberfeldwebel Ducimus threw open the door to bunkhouse B. "Vendor, you're coming with us!" They siezed the sailor and dragged him to his feet, fairly carrying him out the door.

"What in bloody blazes is the meaning of this," shouted Mookie. "Where are you going with that man?"

Nisgeis stepped up. "He is going to be tried for the murder of your cook," said Nisgeis coldly. "We will have ORDER in this camp."

Mookie charged but Schuetze Enigma and Schuetze Oberon thrust their rifles in his chest and stopped him.

"Come now, Lieutenant, you are aware of my position. I will not tolerate your insolence for a second. Now, find your captain and let him know I'm not a man to trifle with."

The British stood, frustrated. "First Mr. Takeda, now poor Vendor," said Chief Tarrasque.

"This don't look good," said Raptor.


. ***

The German soldiers took Vendor to the Inner Ward and tied him to a post. "If you ask me," said Ducimus, "I say we throw this Tommy off the West wall and test those landmines.

"Shut up," grumbled Rear. "Let's get this over with."

They walked over to their rifles, aimed and fired. Vendor slumped against his ropes. He would speak no more.

Night Begins




.

[Pioneer]

:::can't sleep, rises and begins walking around the dark compound::::

Where are all the guards?

[The Enigma]

"Schutze The Enigma, grab some of that barbed wire at the back there. Ja, next to the spare mines and the faulty metal detector."

Hmphhh, do this, do that. Why didn't I keep my big mouth shot.
Now I can go to fix the fence and it's already dark outside.

*The Enigma grabs the needed equipment for sealing the hole and wanders towards the camp.


*Tarrasque heads to his bunkhouse and when no-one is looking sneaks into the hole through the wire. He decides to head south as previously ordered to see what he can see and possibly gain access to the boat, and her stored equipment.*

*Totally unaware that he is too late, since Chief Tarrasque has successfully escaped, he fixes the hole.

Now that should do it. Those Tommies will have a hard time to reopen that hole.

*Next, The Enigma returns to the castle where he takes part of the special task force to execute Sailor Vendor.

[Tarrasque]

*Eyes the southern guard tower. Looks like it's empty.*

"Wonder if those Kraut scum have raided the boat already? Probably got nothing better to do with their time."

*He continues towards the boat.*

[The Enigma]

*Still shaking and feeling upset about all the commotion of the last day Schutze The Enigma returns to his fav. place to be: the kitchen.*

Time for a good schnaps...

*Talking half loudly to himself*
What the ....., there is one bottle missing.
Last night, there were 4 bottles on the shelve and now there are only three
left. There, you can see the circle where that bottle has been standing.
I wonder if one of my comrades needed a huge nightcap.

Shall I take a new bottle of schnaps or shall I stick with that Bavarian beer?

*After a short moment to make up his mind, The Enigma decides for the beer.
Together with some Weisswurst he finally managed to find some peace*

[Tarrasque]

*Heads into the sub and hears Tinman764 reading slowly to himself.*

"Sounds like he'd be better off with a picture book."

*Avoiding the guard he begins searching for anything useful.*

((I'm probably going to be away for the rest of the night cycle so if I find anything I'll report it when I return to the camp tomorrow morning.))

[Tinman764]

"...oh how I miss your company and your council, but we will soon be together again, once my mission on this boat is over, my love..." Tinman smiled to himself, one of these tommies was quite the poet.
"Soon, George - soon. Not long now and we can embrace once again...."

"Scheisse!" Tinman stuffed the book back under themattress. I knew there was something not right with those men!

He continued forward into the command room.

[The Enigma]

*Meanwhile The Enigma has opened his 4th bottle of beer.
He starts to feel melancholic and his thoughts were with his beloved wife*

Hildegard, Hildegard. Werden wir uns jemals wiedersehen?
Wie ist es zu hause? (Hildegard, Hildegard. Will we ever meet again? How are things at home?)

*He opens his wallet and pulls out a picture....*

http://www.xs4all.nl/~anjns/flotilla/Hildegard_medium.png

[Tinman764]

In the command room are maps, lots of maps. Tinman looked over them quickly before stuffing them into his pockets. "Odd, I thought Herr Nisgeis had already inspected the boat - why would he have left these?"
There were log books next to the maps, Tinman opened one and begin to read.

"Day 105.
The forward pumps are no longer serviceable. The forward torpedo room is taking on water and as many people as possible have been moved to the aft section to try and balance the boat.
After council with the Sub-lieutenant, the decision has been made to attempt to save the crew by surfacing and making for land. The boat will be scuttled once the crew is safely ashore. I don't mind saying that I will be having a bloody stern chat with those fellows in SOE once we are rescued!"

Tinman looked up from the book, "SOE? Who are they? Herr Nisgeis will want to see this and I have run out of spare pockets. I should have brought a sack!" Tinman cursed his lack of preparation. "I should go back to the castle and get some sleep."

*Climbs out of the submarine and heads back to the castle and to the dorms to sleep*

[Nisgeis]

Nisgeis walks into the interrogation cell and sits down opposite the American war correspondent.

“You look sad Herr Takeda Shingen. Is something troubling you? Ah, but of course you are imprisioned in a fortified camp, with desolate surroundings in a foreign land, with a foreign crew you hardly know, with no hope of escape. How silly of me to forget such a detail.”

“Cigarette?” he said as he offered an open packet to the reporter. “They are American.” He smiled "A taste of home."

“I suppose you’d expected a different outcome from your jaunt in that little boat? You only wanted a tale to tell, that would enthral the reader. Perhaps gain some prestigious writing award?”

Nisgeis drummed his finger on the table for several moments. “Why yes! Perhaps I can help you after all. What better story for your readers than an exciting sea battle, followed by capture and then… escape!”

“We can transport you for ‘special interrogation’. The plane would take a flight path that would follow the border. Perhaps it would develop engine trouble and be forced to land at, let us say, a small field barely a mile from the border, with barely any facilities – certainly no brig or secure facilities of any kind. The pilot would request the guard’s help to fix the engine, so he would be distracted. Perhaps then a messenger arrives to deliver a message and carelessly leaves his motorcycle with the engine running – what a chance to escape that would be. Your guard would of course fire at you, but would be disappointed to find that the ammunition he had been issued with had defective powder.”

“Events such as this have happened before and I’m sure will happen again. All I need from you, is to, as you say ‘use your nose’. Find out all you can and report back to me. I wish to find the creature that attacked our man Bakkels. The creature has nothing to fear from me, I only wish to learn from it. Report anything you find to me and I will see to it you return to your country a hero.”

[Pioneer]

::::returns to his bunk unseen by either the Jerries, or even perhaps his own crew:::

[The Enigma]

*After cleaning up the empty bottles, The Enigma goes to his bed.
On his way upstairs he passes a window and cannot resist to look outside.
It's dark, no moon, no lights, nothing to see.
Suddenly there is a faint sound of a howling dog.*

A dog??? That's impossible, Harras doesn't howl like that, but what else could it be?

*Looking afraid, The Enigma returns quickly to the dorm.*

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda sits in his dungeon cell, contemplating the words of Nisgeis. He wants to go home; wanting this more than anything. Still, there is no way that the Germans would follow through. No, his best chances still lie with the Brits. After all, the murderer has been dealt with, hasn't he? Yes, yes he had been. All would be right now........

[Oberon]

*Oberon brings out two large sacks into the middle of the POW camp. Everyone glares at him, then he empties them, tins of bully beef and biscuits fall out onto the ground.*

"Here...provisions. Gute nacht all. Now that the murderer has been brought to justice there will be order and calm. Sleep well."

*He leaves, and then calls by the kennel, Harras is slinking in the corner, his tail between his legs.*

"Harras? Was ist los? Come boy..."

*Harras slinks over to Oberon and stays by his legs, terrified of something.*

[The Enigma]

*the beer takes his toll*
Verdammt, jetzt muss ich wieder aufs Klo (damned, now I have to go to the loo again).
Must be the beer.

*rises out of his warm bed*

There it is again, that howling sound, like from a wolf!!!
Fürchterlich (yuk).

And there are no wolfs on this cursed island. :o
I need to report this tomorrow morning.
Let me first relieve myself before....

*The Enigma, half awake, goes to the privy to get rid of the beer*

Whoeoehoeeeee, Whoeoehoeeeee

MOTHERRR!!!!

Christ, Enigma keep it together, that's just an owl.

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna lay on a bunk, his head still throbbing from the rifle butt altication the other day.

He was mulling over in his mind the series of events that had taken place during his time strapped to the infirmary table as passed onto him by his fellow crewmates...'Two of our crew dead, one torn to shreds and the other summarily executed without any tangible proof to justify such treatment...something just isn't right about this, it's almost surreal but it has happened nonetheless'

Suddenly he started as he heard a howl from what he believed to be a wild dog or a wolf even in the distance..."What in Gods name is out there"?

[HunterICX]

*stands in the doorpost of the cell*

It'll make a good book too you know...I'm sure it'll sell big back home, so think well and help our friend Nisgeis. He's not so bad once you get to know him, ofcourse I'm talking when you get to know his good side....you don't want to get on his other side it won't be pretty.

Anyway tommorow moring you'll be returnd to your English comrades...though I wonder how you can stomach them...they don't seemed to be that fond of you...I should start getting worried. Because imagine that we just executed the wrong guy....*evil chuckle* now that would both be unfortunate and hilarious at the same time especially as some of you even ratted him out...now let's say there'll be another victim...I'm sure sooner or later they'll start pointing fingers to you.

should we then oblige and have you shot next?

or are you going to play smart and do my friend Nisgeis a favour and give him the information he needs.

anyway *looks at the time* I think you have plenty of time to think about that...now Nisgeis if you'll follow me we'll leave the American with his thoughts alone.

[Onkel Neal]

Through the night, eerie animal cries can be plainly heard. A howling, a full-throated howling.

[Onkel Neal]

Day begins





Dawn, and the alarm goes out.

The British run pell-mell from the bunkhouse to stare through the fence at the castle. "What's Jerry on about now?" asked Sailor Lord Justice.

"No idea," replied Petty Officer Jumbuna. "But those Krauts better not have shot our Yank. He owes me 10 quid."


Inside Castle Collinswood, Oberfeldwebel Ducimus ran into Oberst HunterICX's bed chamber. "Sir! Come quickly, you need to see this!"

HunterICX threw off the leather coverlet and hopped one-legged, pulling on his boots. "Mein gott, not again."

He ran down the stairs, following Ducimus. At the foot of the chapel was a mass of bloody flesh. A pale and visibly shaken Gefreiter August stood stood, steadying a trembling Schuetze AVGWarhawk.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=511&pictureid=4460

HunterICX pulled up, a look of horror on his face. "Who was this man?" he asked.

Hauptmann Rear turned, "Who were these men..." He swallowed. "Sir, I've managed to find their ID tags. Our garrison is in a very bad way, we are down three men:

Gefreiter Tinman764
Schuetze Oberon
Schuetze the_tyrant

Obert Hunter choked back a cry. This was bad, this was very, very bad.

[August]

Making his hourly rounds of the guard posts Corporal August pauses along the castle parapet above the dormitory and looks out toward the POW cage. The bright moon light glinted off the helmets of the sentries as they marched along the fence.

Suddenly in the distance he could hear the mournful howl of a wolf and the sentries all stopped in their tracks. Their Alsatians, normally straining at their leashes, instead huddled against their legs, whimpering and whining, with tails tucked between their legs. Only for a moment though, before German discipline reasserted itself and both beast and master continued on their patrol.

August shuddered. Whether it was from the icy winds blowing off the sea or from half remembered childhood nightmares, he could not, or would not, say but he turned up the collar of his Great Coat and continued his rounds, wondering what the daylight would bring.

[Rear]

"Mein Gott! It looks like their weapons were useless against whatever the British attacked them with. I told you we should have sealed the North Tower breach, mein Oberst!"

[Tarrasque]

*rather tiredly slips back into the POW camp. It's been a long and semi-fruitless night with only one good point.*

"How the hell didn't the nazis find that bottle of rum?"

[Raptor1]

*sees Tarrasue slip back in, then turns and counts to make sure everyone else that should be there is*

Pioneer, Task Force. Move the food they dumped here into the Bunkhouses, if you please. I have no idea what the the Jerries are up to, but it can't be good.

*approaches Tarrasque and whispers*

Did you find anything interesting outside?

[Rear]

Hauptmann Rear inspects the vicinity of the attack.

"It looks like they were shooting in all directions...I'd guess they got about ten rounds off each before they were pulverised."

Rear liked that word...pulverised...yes :)

"We must act quickly, Oberst. What are your orders?"

[Tarrasque]

"Nothing of much use to us Sir. The guard tower by the boat was unguarded when I reach it. Clearly they must not man it all the time.

The Jerry bastards have ransacked the boat it self. There's not much left there. I did find this however..."

*Shows the bottle of rum*

"I thought of distributing it amongst the men to boost morale?"

[HunterICX]

Hauptmann...shut up! and get Nisgeis over here and schnell!

Oberfeldwebel take the Gefreiter with you to the camp and check the camp to make sure they're all there and check for anything unnusual or suspicious...but do not say a word to them UNDERSTOOD!

Schütze Engima and Warhawk search the castle!

[Raptor1]

They were not guarding the sub? That's interesting, they must be more overstretched than we thought. Did you see anything else there? Small watercraft or docking facilities? I'd still like to know how the Jerries are getting supplied...

*looks at the bottle of rum*

Good find. I don't want the crew to get too drunk, but that can certainly help to boost morale. We should probably ratio...Wait, are we sure it's not planted there by the Germans? Could be poisoned. Have we any way to test it?

[Oberon]

*Harras pauses at the edge of the woods, he looks back towards the castle and hears the alarms going off. He barks once and then disappears into the forest, never to be seen again?*

[Nisgeis]

“My word! Three in one go? That is an amazing achievement. A clumsy arrangement of the remains… lacking in style… no sense of aesthetics. But what power! Three in one go, or perhaps… not…”

Nisgeis knelt by the mass of bloody mess and started to separate the chunks of flesh turning the pile of flesh into three neat rows, each with the former contents of each victim.

“Now Gentleman, for the examination! By careful application of science, we should be able to determine whether this is the work of one magnificient beast, or the work of two or more. The distance between the claw marks etcetera should be able to tell us some information about numbers. No two beasts will have identical claws and therefore would leave dissimilar claw marks, likewise with their teeth, just like a human.”

Nisgeis took out a small pair of callipers and a rule and proceeded to measure the width between the claw and teeth marks, the depth of the puncture wounds and the spacing between them, in order to determine whether this was the work of one beast of more.

“There are a lot of wounds, so this may take some time. When finished I will compare my findings here with that of Bakkels’ wounds.”

Nisgeis proceeded to work on the remains, looking forward to the results of his examination.

[Tarrasque]

*Shrugs, opens the bottle, sniffs it then takes a small mouthful.*

"Seems OK sir."

[Jimbuna]

The British run pell-mell from the bunkhouse to stare through the fence at the castle. "What's Jerry on about now?" asked Sailor Lord Justice.

"No idea," replied Petty Officer Jumbuna. "But those Krauts better not have shot our Yank. He owes me 10 quid."


Jimbuna scratched his head deep in thought then winced as he inadvertantly touched the spot that was sore.

The pain brought with it the sudden realisation that he still had the lucky talisman given to him at the end of his last shore leave by his mother, a six inch long paper knift crafted from pure silver.

The paper knife was held by a couple of stitches behind the lapel of his tunic, it was extremely sharp and had a wicked bayonet-like point at it's end and had obviously been overlooked by the guards, probably because he had been knocked unconscious almost at the first point of contact with the Germans and therefore not deemed to be that much of a threat to his captors.

'I may have a need for my talisman after all' he thought to himself.

Jimbuna turns to LJ and says "Well, whatever the commotion is should make another interesting day of things. Got any fags (cigarettes) on ya"?

[Raptor1]

*waits a couple of minutes to see if Tarrasque collapses on the floor*

...Excellent. Hide it before the Germans see it, we shall distribute it to the men later.

[mookiemookie]

Hearing the commotion and shouting from the castle.

Those Jerries are certainly on about something. Think it could have anything to do with our Yank friend?

[Tarrasque]

"Oh and sir? However they're getting their supplies, it doesn't seem to be from where the Terrific is. It's just a beaching point, an old metal grating and a few pilings.

Seems to be nothing there to indicate that they use it for anything particularly."

[Jimbuna]

Hearing the commotion and shouting from the castle.

Those Jerries are certainly on about something. Think it could have anything to do with our Yank friend?

"Well whatever it is they certainly appear to have been well and truly spooked...perhaps their Colonel is panicking over them howling noises we hear from time to time or has literally sh!t himself with fright!!"

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna has a thought 'If only someone could get into the castle and have a scout around...the chapel would be a good place to start...if you got caught you could tell them your deeply religious and felt the need to pray'.

[Raptor1]

"Oh and sir? However they're getting their supplies, it doesn't seem to be from where the Terrific is. It's just a beaching point, an old metal grating and a few pilings.

Seems to be nothing there to indicate that they use it for anything particularly."

I see, we'll just have to keep looking. Good work, anyway.

[Tarrasque]

"Thank you sir. Permission to get my head down for a couple of hours?"

[Raptor1]

Granted.

*looks around and finds Jimbuna*

Petty Officer, if you aren't busy, I'd like to speak with you.

[Jimbuna]

Granted.

*looks around and finds Jimbuna*

Petty Officer, if you aren't busy, I'd like to speak with you.

"Aye Captain"

[Raptor1]

I'd have asked you earlier, but I didn't get the chance. What can you tell me about the interior of that castle? We need to know everything we can about its layout, and so far you've been the only one to visit other sections of it...except the Yank, of course, but he's not here yet, and I doubt he can tell us much. Besides that, how have the Germans treated you while you were in the infirmary? From everything I've seen, most of them are rather brutal...

[Tarrasque]

*Heads to the bunkhouse and into his bunk. He falls asleep almost immediately, but from the moans and thrashing of limbs, his slumber is anything but peaceful."

[Jimbuna]

"I'm afraid I didn't see anything other than the inside of the infirmary because I was restrained on a table and as for brutal Germans, the two I came into contact with appeared to have eyes only for each other".

I'd like your permission to slip out of the bunkhouse this evening and attempt a recce of the castles innards...rumour has it the north wall has a breach in it".

[Raptor1]

I see, thank you. I'll consider your offer, but first I'd like to see what the Germans are up to...

[Pioneer]

The late arrival in the morning hours of the bunkhouse has seen Pioneer blissfully ignorant of the overnight events. He rises, finds the bunkhouse deserted except for another sleeping soul, and begins to move out. From the conversation he rationalizes something has happened at the Castle.

He wanders the perimeter fence, this time watching the walls of the Castle like a hawk and not like his previous quick glances. There are still no guards about, like there were last night.

The fence winds around and he finds himself at the hastily repaired breach point. The craftsmanship is present, but the earth has not assisted. There is still the trench, and with the soft soil, a little digging could enlarge the gap for one or two men to get through.

It may be time to discover where the water stream behind the privy flows to, and discover if there is something beyond the compound.

Pioneer goes in search of the Petty Officer, no British man dare escapes without permission.

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda sat in his cell.

[Jimbuna]

I see, thank you. I'll consider your offer, but first I'd like to see what the Germans are up to...

Jimbuna walks off toward the bunkhouse with the Captains closing remarks in his thoughts 'but first I'd like to see what the Germans are up to' and shrugs, thinking 'More indecision...before long it may well be too late. Better to exploit your enemy when he is distracted elsewhere'.

[Jimbuna]

Takeda sat in his cell.

Jimbuna thought about the Yank sitting in his cell and thought 'I hope that bugga is okay...I'd hate to lose that tenner'.

[Nisgeis]

Nisgeis strolled into the mess hall and addressed the men present.

*** OFFICIAL DISCOVERY ***

“Gentlemen, I have completed my analysis of the remains. I must tell you that each of last night’s victims were attacked by a different assailant. What is more, none of these assailants matched the attacker of Bakkels.”

Nisgeis looked around. “I’m sure you can appreciate that this means that there are at least four creatures that have attacked so far.”

*** END OFFICIAL DISCOVERY ***

“I have no idea where the creatures are, but I do know that the creature that attacked the first night did not attack the second night and as we all know, Takeda Shingen was in the interrogation room and was not allowed out all night, so it is possible that he is responsible for the first attack, but then again, perhaps not. I simply do not have enough evidence to say either way. It is merely a hypothesis.”

Nisgeis smiled and strolled out of the room, in the direction of the Obert’s office. He knocked and entered when bid and announced “I believe we may have a slight situation.” and went on to explain his results, afterwards he went to repeat his speech to the Britishers in the camp to inform them of the situation at hand.

[Nisgeis]

Nisgeis strolls to the interrogation chamber. "Ah, good morning Herr Takeda Shingen. I trust you have slept well, as you have had no nocturnal distractions to keep you awake. Please feel free, aha, I mean if you wish to return to the camp, you may do so. There have been some developments in the night. I'm sure your foreign crew will fill you in. Please do think about my offer for your exciting story."

[Rear]

"Mein Oberst, perhaps we should consider withdrawing all soldiers to the castle interior? Three men is a lot to lose in one night - and besides, it's not like the Englisch schweinhunde can go anywhere of value. Their submarine is certainly in no condition to leave. The only way in or out of the castle is through the gatehaus or the north tower breach..."

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna sat on his bunk listening to what Nisgeis had to say to the assembled prisoners and thought 'The SS sharing knowledge and information with their prisoners...well bugga me!!'

He reached behind his lapel for the lucky talisman and thought 'I may well have use of this yet'.

[HunterICX]

*enters the interrogation building*

Yes...American friend you can follow me *waves his hand towards the open door*

Ow and Nisgeis...I left you a note on your desk
(Note sais: Feel free to invite anyone over for a little conversation this night)

*walks with Takeda out of the interrogation building bumps into Hauptmann Rear*

We'll talk about this later Hauptmann, we have to be extra on our guard.

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda finally returns to the prisoner compound. He hears the summary of Nisgeis speech and the events of the previous evening from his fellow inmates.

"Me? That kraut bastard tried to put that on me?!? I was in the dungeon all night. The sonnabitch wanted me to be his mole. Promised to ferry me out of here. Give me my freedom. Damnit, three of his men died on his watch, and he's just walking around all calm and smug as could be. This guy is odd. Gives me a very creepy feeling."

[Rear]

*enters the interrogation building*

Yes...American friend you can follow me *waves his hand towards the open door*

Ow and Nisgeis...I left you a note on your desk
(Note sais: Feel free to invite anyone over for a little conversation this night)

*walks with Takeda out of the interrogation building bumps into Hauptmann Rear*

We'll talk about this later Hauptmann, we have to be extra on our guard.

"Very well Kommandant. I request permission to search the guardhaus to see if that was the point of entry used for the attack."

[HunterICX]

Granted, be on your way Hauptmann

[Nisgeis]

"Oberst, may I formally request leave for tonight? I wish to investigate the St. Sophia's Nunnery."

[Rear]

Hauptmann Rear smartly salutes HunterICX and leaves to carry out an extensive search of the gatehaus and the Access to the Gatehaus itself.

[HunterICX]

"Oberst, may I formally request leave for tonight? I wish to investigate the St. Sophia's Nunnery."

*Raises brow*

Very well, you're on Leave for tonight my friend let me know what you find.

*lits his pipe*

still...I would like to hear your suggestion for tonights interrogation.

[Nisgeis]

"I have no idea who to suggest. I thought we were dealing with one creature, not four. Takeda is a possibility, but there is no proof, only conjecture. Pick whomever you think or even at random and we shall see if four attack tomorrow. Or perhaps the remaining creatures will lay low. Kill too many and the finger of suspicion swings rapidly in their direction."

"Now, I am off to the Nunnery to see what I can find."

Nisgeis salutes and strolls off towards the nunnery.

[The Enigma]

*after a thorough inspection of the castle The Enigma reports back to Hauptmann Rear*

Hauptmann, despite my very thorough check of the complete castle I couldn't find anything that could us lead to the murderer(s).
Requesting new orders.

[Tarrasque]

*Stirs from his slumber and leaves the bunkhouse where he is quickly briefed on the events of the previous night.*

"What? It's happened again? But this makes no sense."

[mookiemookie]

Mookie sat in his bunk contemplating the night's events. He thought aloud:

So the Jerries are spooked about something. Perhaps it wasn't one of them that killed Bakkels. Perhaps they're not as in control as they think they are. If one of us could slip out tonight and incapacitate one of the officers, that may sow some more confusion amongst their ranks....

[Rear]

*after a thorough inspection of the castle The Enigma reports back to Hauptmann Rear*

Hauptmann, despite my very thorough check of the complete castle I couldn't find anything that could us lead to the murderer(s).
Requesting new orders.

"Well done schutze. I assume you searched the stairs to each tower as well as the walls and the main buildings? I seem to remember the stairs to the west tower are not particularly well lit; perhaps you should take a lantern and check there for any clues"

[Raptor1]

Or perhaps they're trying to scare us, we don't know for sure what happened there except what that SS lunatic told us. Let's operate under the assumption that it's true for now, but somebody will have to go under the fence tonight and see what's really going on in there.

[HunterICX]

''Guess I'll have a Chat tonight with the Petty Officer....the one that had a unlucky encounter with our Oberfeldwebel, Jimbuna''

''4 beast he sais....interesting something that has superhuman strenght and is pretty much indestructable from what I've seen at the last scene...poor guys, it seems they left this world suffering a great deal of pain''

*walks to the great hall*

''Well...time for some coffee and a lovely apfelstrudel''

[The Enigma]

"Well done schutze. I assume you searched the stairs to each tower as well as the walls and the main buildings? I seem to remember the stairs to the west tower are not particularly well lit; perhaps you should take a lantern and check there for any clues"

yes, Sir.
I will return to the West Tower for a double check immediately
*salutes*

[August]

August steps up to Oberst HunterICX, clicks heels and salutes (in Army fashion)

"Herr Oberst I beg to report that SS Nisgeis has just confessed to me privately that he is a werewolf. I must also report that he accused me of being one as well.

Of course Sir I deny that accusation and can offer as proof of my innocence the testimony of the guard force each of who I visited several times during my rounds as corporal of the guard last night. I could not have fulfilled this duty in the form of a were beast.

Shall I form a detail to take SS Nisgeis into custody?"

[The Enigma]

*After fetching a new lantern with enough petrol in it, The Enigma starts
examining the West tower again.*

Stupid stairs, they look all the same to me. Nothing unusual to see.
*Climbing up some stairs*

Nothing, nada. *sigh*
Let's take a closer look to the walls here....
Nope, it's all OK, a moist wall, like those from an old castle.

*The Enigma climbs further until he reaches the level where there was a
small 'window' (sorry for the bad English, but I just don't know the right name
for such 'tower window').*


Let's take a closer look to that window.
Funny, I overlooked this on my previous round.
It seems there is something like wool sticking at the window edge.
Also, there are scratches to be seen as well.

*The Enigma reaches for what he thinks is wool and takes a closer look.*

No that's no wool, that's something else.
Can't figure out what it is, it's simply too dark here , even with the new
lantern.

*Turns around and goes back to the Hauptmann*

Entschuldige Herr Hauptmann.
Bitte schauen sie sich dies mal an
(Sorry Herr Hauptmann, please take a look
at this).

I've discovered this on my second inspection near one of the windows in the West tower.

I can't figure out wat it is, it's not wool, it's something else.
The wall is scratched there too.
What do you make of it?

[Rear]

During his inspection of the gatehaus entrance, Rear slowly goes over the recent slaughters in his mind, and more importantly who could have carried out the attacks...

Herr Nisgeis of the SS was obviously not to be trusted. Each time he looked at a corpse it was like he was enjoying it - perhaps his time in the SS had sent him mad? One might even say he was howling mad.

Gefreiter August may have been guarding that English Petty Officer in the infirmary when the Terrific first came ashore, but Rear could not say where that soldier was until recently. It seemed odd that the amount of attacks increased after August reported for duty once more.

LYNCH VOTE = AUGUST

[Rear]

What do you make of it?

"Hmm that is most interesting schutze. Good work."

Rear takes a closer look at the piece of material...

"Schutze I must admit I am stumped. It seems to be the pubic hair from a great beast of some variety. Let us take it to our Oberst to see what he makes of it."

Hauptmann Rear heads towards Oberst HunterICX's office in the Great Hall.

[The Enigma]

*During the examination by Hauptmann Rear, Schutze Enigma has plenty of time to think about the situation.*

That Tommy, Bakkels butchered in his sleep.
SS Nisgeis examines the remains like if he was having the time of his life.

Gefreiter Tinnman is dead, killed in such terrible way that one might think it was an animal who did this, not a human.
Same for Schutze Oberon and Schutze Tyrant.

Again, the left overs are examined by that SS freak Nisgeis with a smile on his face.

Gefreiter August accuses SS Nisgeis being a werewolf.
Nisgeis replies that August is a werewolf.

How does August come to that conclusion?
Why does SS Nisgeis enjoy the slaughter?

[Rear]

Upon nearing Oberst HunterICX's office, the old stone of the Great Hall corridors collapses and Hauptmann Rear falls into the darkness. After regaining consciousness, he realises that Schutze Enigma did not fall with him.

"Schutze are you up there?! Throw me down that lantern you were using earlier. I can barely see a thing in this tunnel!"

[August]

During his inspection of the gatehaus entrance, Rear slowly goes over the recent slaughters in his mind, and more importantly who could have carried out the attacks...

Herr Nisgeis of the SS was obviously not to be trusted. Each time he looked at a corpse it was like he was enjoying it - perhaps his time in the SS had sent him mad? One might even say he was howling mad.

Gefreiter August may have been guarding that English Petty Officer in the infirmary when the Terrific first came ashore, but Rear could not say where that soldier was until recently. It seemed odd that the amount of attacks increased after August reported for duty once more.

LYNCH VOTE = AUGUST

That is interesting that you should make that accusation Herr Hauptman. In spite of being listed as Officer of the Guard last night you were never seen by either myself or any of the others on guard duty.

I suspect that you and SS Nisgeis may know far more of what is happening here than you are saying.

August turns back to Oberst HunterIC.

"Sir may I suggest that SS Nisgeis the herr Hauptman and myself be confined to cells in the castle dungeon tonight. If any of us are indeed werewolves you will know by morning which ones."

[The Enigma]

Jawol Hauptmann,

Careful sir, I'm letting the Lantern falling inside.

One, Two, Three.....


*The Lantern disappears into the tunnel*

[Rear]

The lantern lands squarely on Hauptmann Rear's head and knocks him out cold for another few minutes. When he awakes again luckily the lantern still works.

"Schutze go and get a ladder or some rope while I follow this tunnel to see where it leads!"

Hauptmann crouches slightly in the confined space of the tunnel. It's hard going and takes a long time, but he finally reaches the end of the tunnel.

Official Discovery

The tunnel proceeds under part of the minefield and then is blocked by debris.

End Official Discovery

Hauptmann Rear can feel a draft coming from cracks in the debris, but he is not strong enough to move the rubble on his own. He starts to head back towards the Great Hall but it may be nighttime before he manages to climb out of the hole again...

[Tarrasque]

*Yawns and heads back to bed.*

"I'm too tired to work all this out. Damn all-nighters."

((ABSTAIN for Lynch vote))

[mookiemookie]

"One less SS officer is always good thing. Can't go wrong there." Mookie thinks to himself while sharpening a chunk of wood into a shiv. A smile crosses his face as he begins to whistle to cover the noise of the filing.

((LYNCH VOTE = NISGEIS))

[Takeda Shingen]

"I just knew that SS guy was trouble. If I could get rid of anyone, I'd go for Nisgeis."

[Raptor1]

I still think Nisgeis is the most dangerously insane Jerry around here...

[Pioneer]

:::wanders about until he finds Chief Tarrasque:::

"Sir, the enemy is in disarray. They talk of werewolves and howls in the night, stories my father told to keep us children at bay. They are preoccupied, and not watching. We are not yet ready to escape, we do not know the lay of the land. Perhaps you might approve me to go through the shody wire fence they patched and follow the stream to it's beachhead."

He scuffs the dirt and a plume rises.

"If the talk is true, the sooner we leave, the more of us may leave."

[Tarrasque]

"You woke me up to ask that? That's the skipper's decision. We may be stuck in this god-forsaken camp, but the rank system still applies.

Now go find the Captain and ask him."

[Lord Justice]

* After more mutilated bodies had been discovered PO, L J confused, with a churning feeling in his stomach pulls out his concealed note pad and pencil begins to write a diary, record of events.*

[HunterICX]

August steps up to Oberst HunterICX, clicks heels and salutes (in Army fashion)

"Herr Oberst I beg to report that SS Nisgeis has just confessed to me privately that he is a werewolf. I must also report that he accused me of being one as well.

Did he now....Ha..then he's more insane then I first thought...a mad man amongst us who would have thought *smile*

My dear Gefreiter you have much to learn about the SS.
But I think we'll have to wait for his return before we could take any actions as he's currently at the Nunnery out there in the forest.

"Sir may I suggest that SS Nisgeis the herr Hauptman and myself be confined to cells in the castle dungeon tonight. If any of us are indeed werewolves you will know by morning which ones."Let's lock us all up and handle the keys to the British while we're at it...
No mein Gefreiter...I'm sure this is work of something the British brought on that Submarine of theirs....did we had any of these attacks before they arrived? Well? No...I didn't think so.

but very interesting thoughts, Gefreiter I'll keep in mind what you've said.
Is there anything else you wish to discuss with me?

((my vote of last night still stands)) Mookie

[Jimbuna]

Always admired the SS as a military fighting unit but never agreed with their ideals or methods.

I vote to lynch Nisgeis.

[Lord Justice]

**** DIARY (1) (YEAR 1942. LOCATION... Island somewhere near Finland) **** Occupied by German forces, Regiment unknown, SS present... British crew held captive few days ...

*approaches Mookie*

If you don't mind, Sub-Lieutenant, I'll have to ask you to scout outside the camp tonight. We must know what is really going on in that castle. We also need to know what lies beyond it, hopefully something we can use to escape...

[AVGWarhawk]

After witnessing the bloody mess of three individuals I know I was not going to clean up that mess. Just a gardener and not the mortician. We have people believing there is a beast running about shredding anyone it so pleases. Now Nisgeis claims he is a werewolf. As diabolical as that man is I would believe it. This island has made everyone mad.

*Makes way to the castle armory*

[Task Force]

Walks into bunk, from the POW camp yard.

Well, anouther day is ending at the damn place. Still cant get use to it. Still feels odd, something other than ripped up crew, and these damn krauts.

Oah well... Guess there's nothing we can do other than wait... for now...

(Think ill go with our Creepy SS friend Nisgeis.)

[AVGWarhawk]

Upon arriving at the armory

"Damn thing locked. I would like to arm myself. Sure, I think all are mad speaking of WW but one can not be to sure."

Let me seek out HunterICX

"Oberst HunterIXC, may I have a word with you?"

Aye sir. I'll scout as much of the castle and the western grounds as I can.

Eat, heh after what i saw yesterday, and the horrid slop they give us. haven't had anything. Strange being here, after seeing our cook like that yesterday.


Ya know, when we came here, I thought the Germans where gonna be our biggest problem. Hell, i originally though they where all going to kill us. Though it would appear now, that they are the least of our problems.

What do you think of this "werewolf" (lets out a laugh) How lame can they get, werewolf are just things of horror storys, something to take with little notice... Or atleast, i hope so.

[HunterICX]

*pats the Schütze on the shoulder and smiles*

Just as I thought...sent off with the same empty bag I came with. Come down to recruiting. See the world and become a man. Somehow the recuiting poster did not paint the full picture.

*Awaits assignment for the night.*

Although Nisgeis is a utter SS lunatic I have to stand by him as a countryman. August suggested a lynching of Nisgeis. I can not vote for that. Besides, if I need help with one of these 'beasts' I would certainly like backup from Nisgeis!

LYNCH AUGUST!

[Lord Justice]

What do you think of this "werewolf" (lets out a laugh) How lame can they get, werewolf are just things of horror storys, something to take with little notice... Or atleast, i hope so.Sailor, are you forgetting your place? I do not see this as a laughing matter! I see you far enough, you dont address me properly!! Sir would be good incase it slipped your mind, I had to clean up bakkels the man was a pulp . So I think there is something out there, we got to push on and escape, as for the soup you mention, It took my patience trying to request it.

[Pioneer]

The search for the Captain proves fruitless, and a dank thought begins to grow. The Captain's movements last night and the night before are really unaccounted for...by witnesses. Who would dispute the Captain of the boat when captured by the enemy, perhaps he may be a werewolf. Could there be others?

There were three bodies last night, one the night before. Is it the work of a pack of four, or is the work of one. Until we receive further information, as a sailor, I can only assume it is the work of one, who savaged three last night. How many more may be savaged tonight.

There may be little sleep tonight. The bunkhouse feels colder and the flimsy blanket supplied does little to keep the sharp claws of an animal out. I shall lay awake for a few hours on my bunk listening to the sounds of the night, before fatigue will eventually get me.

And if it should be me, then my duty to England is done.

Except for Nisgeis, he's the SS here. He needs to be lynched, werewolf or not. He is the enemy.

Vote for Nisgeis to be lynched.

[HunterICX]

*Hangs a roster with the night's orders*

Looks like patrol duty for me again tonight. Why is it privates do not get much sleep? Always the cook and bottle washer, never the chief. I hope I have eyes on the back of my head tonight. If the other are right about this werewolf I want to see him coming!

*walks off the armory for weapon and report to assigned post for the night*

[Lord Justice]

* sports Pioneer * At ease sailor, I would like to thank you for the pencil and do so offer my humble apologies regards to yesterday, the tension of Bakkels and trying to obtain food and water for the men was taxing, so I am sorry old bean, that said I do have a new name befitting of you and perhaps it may aid me.

HA, and when we get out of here, where are we gonna go, Finland, they are friends of the axis too, everywhere we could go, within logic is axis. hell, we cant even go to the Russians, as they no longer have a port along the Baltic coast.

As i see it, were all probably doomed, we have a crazy garrison, with that... SS guy, these beasts that can easily kill three armed guards. and if we do break out where do we go.

*still over thinking the situation*

and what about Rear. Somehow he knew exactly that I needed to research the West tower.
Does he know more....

And those Tommies? It all started when they arrived. Before we had never
these kind of encounters.
There seems to be one of them, Lord Justice it is, that walks around with a body part of their deceased cook.

Aaarghh, can't make up my mind.

Let's think again, I never trusted the SS, but he is one of our own.
Same for Rear and August.

That leaves us with....
Lord Justice. I would shoot him first.

[Onkel Neal]

Behind Bunkhouse A, Captain Raptor and SL Mookie addressed Jimbuna. "Be careful mate. See what you can see but don't put a foot down wrong, we don't want Jerry to get his mitts on you."
"Yes sir."
Raptor leaned forward, his taunt face rough with stubble in the moonlight. "And Jimbuna. If you find Nisgeis, put this between his ribs, aye?" Mookie handed a sharp wedge of wood, a hand-carved stilleto, to the sailor. A smile spread slowly across Jimbuna's face.
"With pleasure, sir."




Night begins

[The Enigma]

Sir, I'm off to fulfill my guard duty.
If you need me I'm patroling at the east and north tower.

Hauptmann Rear hands out MP40s to those waiting to be assigned weapons from the armoury. Then, instead of patrolling the inner ward, he locks himself inside.

"Ha, if any 'beasts' attack me tonight I will make sure I go out with a bang!"

Rear surrounds himself with ammo crates, shells, mines and handgranate. He then pulls a box of matches from his pocket and goes to sleep with one eye open.

[Jimbuna]

Behind Bunkhouse A, Captain Raptor and SL Mookie addressed Jimbuna. "Be careful mate. See what you can see but don't put a foot down wrong, we don't want Jerry to get his mitts on you."

Night begins


*Thanks....I was starting to get confusede in all of the thread soup LOL*

Jimbuna set off toward the north turret looking for a breach or anything that would aid him in getting into the castle.

He looked up into the cloudy sky and could see the bright moon poking its light intermittently downwards between the passing clouds.

Jimbuna grinned at himself thinking this was just like his younger days when he would act like this during game playing with his friends, games such as 'hide and seek' or 'japs and commandos'....but this time it was not for fun and entertainment, this time it was serious, a matter of life and death even.

Moving from shadow to shadow in a crawl/crouched position and regularly stopping to listen for any sounds he would gaze into the night in every direction looking for any sign of movement but first he needed to find a way in.

After what seemed an eternity but what was probably just ten minutes or so he came across some crumbling stonework at the base of the north turret. He very carefully moved a few of the bricks until there was just enough space for him to squeeze through.

Once inside he saw a door which was open, he crouched as low as he could and using the shadows to his advantage moved to the door. Looking beyond it he could see the courtyard and about ten yards further on a single storey building which had to be the kitchen he thought because of the washing line next to it full of tea towels drying in the cold moonlit night.

He grinned to himself as he thought 'not much chance of them being dry by the morning in these weather conditions'.

Keeping to the shadows he moved across the courtyard to the kitchen window and from the light of the open fires embers he peered through the window looking for any signs of life.

He could see the stove/cooker, an array of pots and pans hanging from an overhead timber, a large preparation bench and a large wooden table and bench seating but no signs of any life.

He crept round to the door and tried the handle, the door was unlocked so he entered, closing the door behind himself.

A careful study of the interior uncovered a cooling cupboard where a large number of carcasses were hanging 'If I wasn't thinking straight some of them could easily be mistaken for human torsos' he thought to himself.

Another cupboard was well stocked with vegetables and tins of food with German labels so he had no way of knowing what the wording meant 'The German language was never one of my strong points but these Jerries certainly eat well' he thought.

On the far side of the preparation bench was a drawer, he opened it and his eyes lit up when he saw the selection of knives and utensils it contained.

'Some of this kit may well come in handy' he thought as he picked up a carving knife and a meat cleaver, carefully putting them inside his tunic.

In the corner of the kitchen on a shelf he noticed a bottle of wine and three bottles of schnapps, he picked up one of the schnapps bottles and put that in his tunic as well 'Jerry won't miss one bottle and my need is greater' he grinned to himself.

He suddenly froze when he heard a noise outside, he peered out of the window and could just make out the shape of what looked like a very tall human at the far end of the courtyard......then a howling noise filled the still night air and jimbuna automatically felt for his talisman and the knife and cleaver as a way of reassuring himself he was well equipped to protect himself from whatever was emitting that terrible sound....but jimbuna hadn't convinced himself at all, he murmured to himself 'frack this for a game of soldiers, it's time I reported back to my shipmates'.

With that one goal in his mind he started the trip back to the compound with the same stealth that had brought him into the castle.

[Tarrasque]

*Stirs and and walks outside. The moon seems very bright tonight. He begins to pace the compund.*

"Just can't sleep. Damn it!"

*Just then there is an eerie howl coming from the direction of the castle. He quickly turns and stares towards it. Craning his eyes to see into the stygian darkness. Nothing. He shivers and heads back to the bunkhouse.*

"May not be any safer in here, but at least everything here is human."

[Lord Justice]

* stirs from having drifted asleep earlier, hearing comings and goings from the bunkhouse door stands up and sees the chief * " Hows things chief, what's the sit rep on tonight, were you briefed? who was out? I want to know the plans, GOOD GOD did you hear that?? I am curious Chief, why were you outside?? I do not like this 1 bit, the situation report if you please!! "

[Tarrasque]

"No I haven't been briefed. I was outside to get some fresh air, not that I need to justify myself to you PO. "

[Lord Justice]

"No I haven't been briefed. I was outside to get some fresh air, not that I need to justify myself to you PO. "You Damn well will. * L J puts his face to within an inch of the Chief, with an angry stare * " You can shove your rank!! " * Leaves the bunkhouse, enters compound, the darkness of night.* " Justify, justify indeed. Tomorrow night I am making a break for it regardless" * squints his eyes, and listens to the night intently. * " **** this, I am going back to bed " * Returns to bunk and closes eyes. *

[Pioneer]

:::The sound of raised voices raises him for what little sleep he has had. What sounded like British accents is now suddenly quiet. He rises and goes outside, the night still hands but the air is crisp, but death still hangs in it like the smell on the battlefield. He hunches his jacket tighter up over his shoulders and plunges his hands into his pockets as he moves around the bunkhouse. His eyes start to focus on the job at hand - survival.:::

"There are no guards still," he mutters to himself. None visable on the castle wall, none visible around the compound. With no guards about there is work to be done in the quiet of the last vestibules of night.

He hurries to the far side of the bunkhouse where the hole int he fence was. Within minutes he has unravel the shoddy workmanship of the wire and salvaged a three foot piece of wire, the perfect length to strangle a guard. Behind him off the old bunkhouse, he spots a plank. The old wooden structure has been here a while - whether by design as the original residency when the castle was being built or perhaps other more sinister reasons, but it is old, and cracked. One plank and two board are warped. Using the wire he is able to lever the plank out far enough to get his fingers behind it. He looks around.

"This is going to make some noise," he thinks to himself.

Crack.

The plank comes off in a four foot section leaving four nails in the end piece. Before anyone knows, he is back in the bunkhouse and has secreted the section of wood under the mattress of a vacant bunk.

[Lord Justice]

* startles again with more noise from bunkhouse, heads of to bunkhouse B * " Hello Scrounger in a soft tone, what were you doing out? anything of interest?? "

[mookiemookie]

Mookie rolls over in his bunk, visibly annoyed by the tit for tat of his subordinates. Both of you pipe down! Bickering amongst ourselves isn't going to make this situation better. We need to work together, not be at each other's throats.

[Lord Justice]

* sports Sub- Lieutenant * " I think Pioneer is on to something, I need to know what he has discovered and fast daylight is soon approaching " * not getting any answers L J creeps out into darkness * " Hmm what was Sailor scrounger up to? perhaps I shall check on that repair on the fence. Hello what's this ??? * fence reopened, PO climbs under and makes a dash to the privy. * " Okay, I must be fast its getting a bit light" * Searches both Privies, dashes back under fence and returns to bunk *

[Pioneer]

:::leans out the bunkhouse window:::

Pssst, sir.

::::waves the officer over.:::

Two weapons liberated sir.

:::pulls his head back in the window:::

[Rear]

Inside the armoury Hauptmann Rear wakes with a start.

"Not too long til daybreak now. I'm almost safe!"

He smirks as he holds the box of matches tighter. Suddenly he hears scratches at the door like nails on a chalkboard. Surely nothing could get through those huge metal doors?

"Ja?! Wer ist da?? Mein Oberst is that you? Schutze Enigma??"

Rear takes a match from the box and prepares to strike it, his hands shaking from the tension.

[August]

August peers out from the dockside tower. Stiff and sore from his all night vigil, he rubbed his tired eyes and remembered with renewed irritation the Hauptmans accusation of the previous day.

August shuddered to think what would happen to him if the good Hauptman were to take command. Especially seeing how close Rear and that SS pig seemed to be....

[AVGWarhawk]

Another night on this dreaded wall. Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Oberst HunterIXC ? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You smile for those mauled, and you curse the tommies. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Bakkel's and Vendor's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn about you or the garden. I'm thinking tonight is my last night I'm watching a wall. Something stange is not right here.

I hope the sun is up soon....it's a chilly night. Much movement and noise at the POW compound.

[Onkel Neal]

PO Jimbuna moved along the tall castle wall, clutching his holy grail of schnapps, heading for the North turret breach, when something brushed his shoulder. He froze. The hair on his neck--literally-- began to stand up and he felt the involuntary sensation of his skin creeping. He fought to turn his head. A shadow appeared from the darkness--it was true!--a creature, a true monstrosity towered over the petty officer, fangs glistening in the moonlight.

Jimbuna felt his body go limp. Must not pass out, Jim old boy, face it like a man, he thought. He reached for the cleaver, desperate to make an honest stand. The bottle of schnapps slipped to burst on the pavement. The creature raised a hairy claw, then paused. Jim struggled to catch his breath--for a moment he felt a glow, a power sweep over him. The creature recoiled and bolted past him through the breach in the North turret and was gone.

Jimbuna felt life return to his legs and began running in the opposite direction, unconcerned that he was moving away from his only route back to the camp. Then he heard a scream of pain from inside the Great Hall and checked his flight. There was some kind of uproar in the Great Hall. He pressed himself against the kitchen wall as Schütze The Enigma raced past. Steadying his nerve, he turned toward the North turret and made his escape in the growing light, back to the camp.

Schütze The Enigma found Hauptmann Rear at the Oberst's bedside. Their CO was a lifeless corpse, the carefully manicured features torn and shredded. "Mein Gott!" said Enigma, unable to tear his eyes from the scene. "Hauptmann...I guess this means you are in charge now. What are your orders, sir?"

Rear replied, "Check the other men, have someone check Gefreiter August, he was alone in the Dock Guard Post, make sure we are all safe and accounted for." The private snapped to attention and saluted, and ran from the room.




Day begins


.

[AVGWarhawk]

Word of Oberst HunterIXC now dead? Shredded to bits? Was I the last to be seen with him last night? I hope this is not pinned on me because I was possibly seen with Oberst last night. This is turning into a bad situation then it already is. I must keep my wits about me. I'm not returning my weapon to the armory. It stays with me in case I'm fingered in some fashion. In fact, I think my luck is running out as it is.

*walks off to the dormatories to collect some gear*

[Rear]

"What are you waiting for schutze Enigma? Los!"

Rear is secretly glad that noone found him hiding in the Armoury last night, whether beast or otherwise.

[Raptor1]

*wakes up from the noises coming from the castle and goes outside*

Oh, what now?

[AVGWarhawk]

*on my way to the dormatories. see Rear leaving the armory*

*salutes*

" Hauptmann Rear, word of Hunter has passed down. What do you make of this?"

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda is slowly wakes in his bunk; the sounds of alarm coming from the castle.

"What the hell now? Another murder? How long before we are all dead? I just wanna go home. Just wanna go home....."

The reporter slumped against the bunkouse wall, his knees curled to his chest.

[Rear]

*on my way to the dormatories. see Rear leaving the armory*

*salutes*

" Hauptmann Rear, word of Hunter has passed down. What do you make of this?"

:salute:

"Schutze in my opinion we no longer have enough soldiers to guard the whole island. We should withdraw all men to the confines of the castle, even if this means the prisoners have free reign elsewhere. The castle must be protected at all cost; we cannot risk the English getting hold of our weapons and food supplies. Ha! With any luck their crewmen will wander into the minefield!"

[Tarrasque]

*Yawns and wakens*

"Looks like I'll have to have a word with the good PO. He needs to be reminded about ranks and seniority. Better now than face a court martial when we get back."

*He heads out of the bunkhouse into the compound. Clearly there's some excitement up at the castle.*

"Well at least they can't blame us."

[Lord Justice]

Lord justice also wakens to the alarm, stays under his covers and awaits the news, checks his note pad and realises behind his 1st notes he only has two pages left, " 2 entrys left damn "

[AVGWarhawk]

:salute:

"Schutze in my opinion we no longer have enough soldiers to guard the whole island. We should withdraw all men to the confines of the castle, even if this means the prisoners have free reign elsewhere. The castle must be protected at all cost; we cannot risk the English getting hold of our weapons and food supplies. Ha! With any luck their crewmen will wander into the minefield!"

Yes sir! I understand completely. Our numbers have dwindled to nothing. May we open the armory and fetch as many weapons for each? I would like a howitzer if one is available! I'm of the mind that Tommy and this beast are working together! Where would you like me posted?"

[The Enigma]

*Enigma starts searching for Gefreiter August.*

[Rear]

Yes sir! I understand completely. Our numbers have dwindled to nothing. May we open the armory and fetch as many weapons for each? I would like a howitzer if one is available! I'm of the mind that Tommy and this beast are working together! Where would you like me posted?"


"Schuetze AVGWarhawk, you will be posted at the North Tower. Be careful not to let any Britisch schwein through the breach, and set traps for them if you can.

Inform Schutze Enigma and Gefreiter August that they are to guard the gatehouse at all costs. Tell them to find Oberon's dog if they can; he could be a useful ally.

I will search the castle and attempt to find Oberfeldwebel Ducimus since he seems to have been missing recently - I hope he is still in one piece...

SS Nisgeis seems to have been missing since last night but I think we are better off without that madman anyway" :smug:

[The Enigma]

Let's think it all over once again.

Oberst HunterIXC must have been a human, since he has been killed by the beast.
Gefreiter Tinman764 must have been a human, he has also been killed by the beast.
Schuetze Oberon, human (killed by that monster)
Schuetze the_tyrant , human (killed by that monster)
Cook Bakkels, Tommy and also killed by the creature.



What does that tell us???
Also, I haven't been able to inform the Hauptmann that I have seen one of the Tommies entering the Northern tower last night.
We should question him again thoroughly.

[AVGWarhawk]

"Schuetze AVGWarhawk, you will be posted at the North Tower. Be careful not to let any Britisch schwein through the breach, and set traps for them if you can.

Inform Schutze Enigma and Gefreiter August that they are to guard the gatehouse at all costs. Tell them to find Oberon's dog if they can; he could be a useful ally.

SS Nisgeis seems to have been missing since last night but I think we are better off without that madman anyway" :smug:

"Understood sir"

*salutes and departs*

Guard the north tower? This can't be good. I had the west tower last night. Ducimus and Gisgeis missing for quite sometime.


"August, Enigma...Rear ordered you two to guard the gatehouse at all costs. Fetch weapons from the armory. Be well armed and well prepared! Find that dog of Oberon's. He could be of some use."

*heads off to the north tower howitzer in hand.* :DL (Rambo)

[August]

Let's think it all over once again.

Oberst HunterIXC must have been a human, since he has been killed by the beast.
Gefreiter Tinman764 must have been a human, he has also been killed by the beast.
Schuetze Oberon, human (killed by that monster)
Schuetze the_tyrant , human (killed by that monster)
Cook Bakkels, Tommy and also killed by the creature.


OOC: Another thing to consider is since a werewolf can only take one victim per night the triple murder on the 2nd night that means there are at least three werewolves in the game.

[The Enigma]

there is even more to consider:

Oberfeldwebel Ducimus, lange nicht mehr gesehen (long time no see)
We have a very wide area to cover, The prisoners only the camp (and the privy).
Our SS man loves blood and examining human remains.
August has been accused of being a werewolf.
SS Nisgeis has been accused the same.

[The Enigma]

OOC: Another thing to consider is since a werewolf can only take one victim per night the triple murder on the 2nd night that means there are at least three werewolves in the game.

That's right :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

*arrives at post*

*disgruntled*

*cocks weapons. Checks the Howitzer and the hidden MP40. Also pulls Mauser HSC, Gewehr 98, MG 42, Karbiner 98K and a Panserfaust for good measure. Good for tanks and better for werewolves.

[Tarrasque]

That's right :up:

Technically. None of the three killers were the same as killed Bakkels...so there's at least four werewolves...

[Lord Justice]

*Petty Officer L J gets out of bed and goes to the compound* " I wonder what has happened now? must be jerry, not that's important to me any more. Its about survival escape!! " * Glances over to small hole in the fence * "I see you tonight old boy, just stay open. " * remains in compound for information *

[August]

there is even more to consider:

Oberfeldwebel Ducimus, lange nicht mehr gesehen (long time no see)
We have a very wide area to cover, The prisoners only the camp (and the privy).
Our SS man loves blood and examining human remains.
August has been accused of being a werewolf.
SS Nisgeis has been accused the same.



OOC: Also:


Given last nights events Jimbuna has been shown to be a human.
You only have my word that Nisgeis accused me of being a werewolf.

[Tarrasque]

OOC: Suggestion - shall we make a new thread for all the OOC discussion and theories so we don't clog this one up with it?

[AVGWarhawk]

What does that tell us???



Our goose is cooked.

[August]

Technically. None of the three killers were the same as killed Bakkels...so there's at least four werewolves...

How you figure?

The werewolves can take one victim per night. Bakkels was killed on a different night than the other three as was the HunterIXC.

[Jimbuna]

*Jimbuna lying on his bunk recovering from his recent experience*

'How in Gods name do I tell my shipmates what I've seen'?

'Who'd believe me'?

'They'd lock me up for sure thinking I'd gone mad'

He placed the carving knife and cleaver under his mattress then checked he still had the wooden stake and lucky talisman on his person...they were both still there.

'I could do with that schnapps right now' he thought to himself.

[Tarrasque]

*Walks back into the bunkhouse and spots Jimbuna*

"Get up man. We need to be setting an example to the men, not cowering under our bed linen like a catholic school girl on her wedding night. What is your problem?"

[Pioneer]

::::Rises to the commotion and begins to wander about listening intently. The Germans have lost another, that makes the fourth in three nights plus we lost one of our own. The numbers are dwindling. The German can't afford to be guarding anywhere but the castle now, perhaps there may be a way out after all. The need to inspect the perimeter is rising. The stream, the woods, other side of the castle. The Germans are scared, now is the time to disrupt.:::

Pioneer walks toward the compound gate and notes there are still no guards around, and none that he can see. He begins feverishly using the wire form the fence to slot open the padlock on the gate. Within minutes the mechanism releases, and the padlock opens. He pockets the open padlock and closes it within the warmth of his pocket.

"No more tunneling under the wire, we'll just walk out now and wait to see where the challenge comes from."

Pioneer pushes the gate open and waits for the sound of gunfire or shouting. There is none, and he steps through. Nonchalantly he moves around the wire and heads for the stream, unchallenged by werewolf or German.

[AVGWarhawk]

*upon second return to the tower from the armory*

Set up and load the Model 24 Stielhandgranate offensive hand grenade, Splitterring and S-mine. Locked and loaded the Solothurn 31M Light MG and Schwarzlose 7/31M heavy MG. For good measure, a wrist rocket slingshot!

*sits down and takes inventory*

What is all this firepower doing on the rock anyway?

[The Enigma]

*walks to the Dock Guard Tower and rises his voice*

Hans, hallo Hans wo bist du (Hans , hey Hans where are you)???

*No answer, so The Enigma tries again, now even louder*

Gefreiter August, are you in the tower??

[August]

*walks to the Dock Guard Tower and rises his voice*

Hans, hallo Hans wo bist du (Hans , hey Hans where are you)???

*No answer, so The Enigma tries again, now even louder*

Gefreiter August, are you in the tower??

Augusts voice sounds from behind the bushes.

"No, i'm over here answering the call of nature. Wassup!?"

[Lord Justice]

* PO goes to check on the ratings, see how there morale is bearing up. Rushes back to bunkhouse A, * " Captain Captain a word please get the Sub - lieutenant, and chief pronto."

[The Enigma]

Orders from Hauptmann Rear:

I need to check if everything is alright, especially after the latest events.

You are OK?
Haven't seen or heard anything weird?

[AVGWarhawk]

*looking towards the sky*

If I only had my childhood Red Rider BB gun would I truly feel safe. One could take an eye out with that thing.

[Raptor1]

* PO goes to check on the ratings, see how there morale is bearing up. Rushes back to bunkhouse A, * " Captain Captain a word please get the Sub - lieutenant, and chief pronto."

*calls for Mookie and Tarrasque*

Yes, what is it?

[Tarrasque]

*Heads over to the captain*

[Lord Justice]

*calls for Mookie and Tarrasque*

Yes, what is it?"Its that damn sailor Pioneer, he is missing, I opened up the fence again last night but he didnt go through as i positioned the rubble a certain way to cover the hole, its daylight where did he go if jerry does roll call were done for, and if he didnt go through the wire then then well youre the head shed sort it! "

[mookiemookie]

*calls for Mookie and Tarrasque*

Yes, what is it?

*looks up from his game of solitare* Yessir?

[Raptor1]

Pioneer is missing, eh?

*turns to Tarrasque and Mookie*

Have either of you seen Sailor Pioneer today?

[Tarrasque]

"No sir."
