[Lord Justice]

" if he didnt go out the wire? only leaves the gate house!!! is the escape on sir?? but in daylight? check the gate this could be our move"

[Tarrasque]

*Hears the tannoy announcement.*

"Don't think they want our company any more."

[Raptor1]

Escape? I didn't order it, bu...

*hears the announcement from the castle*

...now that's interesting...

*cRaCkLe* *brief feedback*

ATTENTION PRISONERS, THIS IS HAUPTMANN REAR OF CASTLE COLLINSWOOD. DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES YOU ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE CAMP. HOWEVER, ANY PERSON OR...THING SEEN APPROACHING THE CASTLE WALLS WITHOUT DIRECT AUTHORISATION FROM MYSELF WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT. DANKE FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

*microphone cuts out*

Are they giving us free reign of the grounds? What's their game? I don't trust the Jerries one bit...

[Rear]

The Hauptmann considers his next choice of action. There was obviously a traitor acting on behalf of the British and the person he was most suspicious of was still August...even if it meant one less man to guard the perimeter.

LYNCH VOTE = AUGUST

[The Enigma]

*After the announcement of Hauptmann Rear The Enigma returns to the castle*

Herr Hauptmann, Can I have a word?

[AVGWarhawk]

Oh that is just swell....we got beasts running the land slaying anything that breaths and Rear now has let the Brits out to wonder about. Why not send out invitations to our Hindenberg Fest? P08 Mauser Lugers for everyone! Well, if anything, there is newly wandering potential victims for the werewolf or wolves. Oh, who knows. See the world the poster said......scheissekopfs...:stare:

[Raptor1]

I have no idea what the Jerries are on about, but I intend to find out. Mookie, come with me. Tarrasque, go talk to Jimbuna and see what he found out tonight. Mr. Justice, see what you can do about finding Pioneer.

((Is the gate open now?))

[Rear]

*After the announcement of Hauptmann Rear The Enigma returns to the castle*

Herr Hauptmann, Can I have a word with you?

"Nein, not at the moment schutze. I have to go to my office to consider our next course of action, which may take me a few hours. Slip a note under my door later if you wish but please do not disturb me."

[Rear]

((Is the gate open now?))

OOC: Well Pioneer took the padlock off and stole it so I assume the gate isn't locked :P

[Jimbuna]

Upon hearing the tannoy annoncement Jimbuna grins to himself and thinks....'that's one thing I don't plan doing in a while...wandering around'

The thought did cross his mind there that there could still a bottle of wine and two bottles of schnapps in the kitchen.

[Lord Justice]

"he had to go under the wire, but I place that little white stone exactly there to the right on the mound!! " *scratches head *

[The Enigma]

*with a baffled look on his face*

Ja wohl, Herr Hauptmann, wie sie wünschen Herr Hauptman.
(Simply translated; Yes Herr Hauptmann, and f**k Y** ;) )

*He returns to the kitchen and wants to grab a bottle of schnapps.....*

[Tarrasque]

"Sir."

*Heads back inside to Jimbuna*

"Right PO. You and I are going to have a little chat. What the hell did you see out there that's turned you into this quivering wreck?"

[Raptor1]

((Right, we'll assume the gate is open then))

*walks out in front of the castle and shouts*

Hey, Jerries! I demand to speak with your Oberst!

[mookiemookie]

((Right, we'll assume the gate is open then))

*walks out in front of the castle and shouts*

Hey, Jerries! I demand to speak with your Oberst!

*Mookie places a hand on Raptor's shoulder* Easy there, sir. They did say they'd shoot anyone getting too close.

[The Enigma]

Aber... das ist unmöglich, dass kann nicht sein....
(But... that's impossible, that can not be...)

*Looks closely to the shelve where the Schnapps used to be stored on*

Verdammt, where is that 3rd bottle????

*He takes on of the two remaining bottles, fills a large glass with the transparent fluid and he takes a huge sip*

AAAhhhhh, das schmeckt, das ist gut.

*Enjoying the schnapps he keeps on wondering what might have happened with that 3rd bottle.*

[AVGWarhawk]

((Right, we'll assume the gate is open then))

*walks out in front of the castle and shouts*

Hey, Jerries! I demand to speak with your Oberst!

"You make no demands. You only make a meal for whatever is chewing up our men. Now step away from the wall. We are WELL armed."

:stare:

[The Enigma]

((Right, we'll assume the gate is open then))

*walks out in front of the castle and shouts*

Hey, Jerries! I demand to speak with your Oberst!

*Hears Raptor1 shouting and walks with the glass in his hand to the gate house (just to be sure that his glass can't be taken too)*


Ja, Was Ist??
Yes, what's up?

[Raptor1]

Well, obviously we're not too close yet.

*turns back to the castle*

It'd be a shame if we had to use our submarine's 4" gun to talk to your commander!

[AVGWarhawk]

Oh great, that lush Enigma is answering the Brit. Fantastic. Why not offer up your sister along with that schnapps?

"Enigma, we offer nothing to the Tommy. They can fend for themselves"

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, obviously we're not too close yet.

*turns back to the castle*

It'd be a shame if we had to use our submarine's 4" gun to talk to your commander!


"I have your 4" deck gun right here. No, wait a minute...what is it? Our commander is in bed."

[The Enigma]

Oh great, that lush Enigma is answering the Brit. Fantastic. Why not offer up your sister along with that schnapps?

"Enigma, we offer nothing to the Tommy. They can fend for themselves"


Perhaps you didn't notice Schuetze AVGWarhawk,

We might need them very soon just for surviving this island adventure.

[AVGWarhawk]

Perhaps you didn't notice Schuetze AVGWarhawk,

We might need them very soon fjust or surviving this island adventure.

The way I see it they are fodder for these beasts running about. There is survivability in numbers. The numbers are on their side. Let them run the pastures like cattle awaiting slaughter."

[The Enigma]

*Enigma replies*
So far that cattle was left alone despite the easy pray they made.
We, behind our castle walls, are butchered and slaughtered.

So who is better of, we or they?

[Raptor1]

We require answers to our questions! It is very important!

[AVGWarhawk]

"Alright then, out with it Raptor1. No funny stuff. I'm loaded for bear or werewolf as it were."

[AVGWarhawk]

*Enigma replies*
So far that cattle was left alone despite the easy pray they made.
We, behind our castle walls, are butchered and slaughtered.

So who is better of, we or they?

"Fine point! Share that schapps. Let's see what Raptor1 wants."

[The Enigma]

*with a big smile on his face, he sipped from the Schnaps*

[Raptor1]

Let's see...I'd like to know where your commander is, and why we can't speak with him!

[Lord Justice]

* sits on bunk, diary time, scribbles away, ******* DIARY LOG (2)******* SITUATION STATUS - Beyond critical, Severe paranoia, Confusion, Panic, Distrust....EVENTS - More human mutilation, howling noises during night....THEORY - It appears the entity or organism replicates human form by day. (perfect imitation)......EXPLANATION - It needs to be in close proximity with human life form to be absorbed.....FACTS - It does not want to show itself, it hides. (Until Dark ) We need to know who is who!!...... PROBABILITY - British crew members, my friends (infected)...... CONCLUSION - Rank structure has no importance to me any more, (Just Survival, God be with us all ). ***** Petty Officer Lord Justice, submariner HMS Terrific, OUT! *****

[The Enigma]

Her you are...
Prost und gesundheit

[AVGWarhawk]

"He is off to bed from what I'm told. You will have to deal with the lowly Private Gardener for now."

[The Enigma]

@AVGWarhawk:

Wait, I outrank you, In the Narrators list, I'm mentioned first.
So I will speak to that Tommie.

[Raptor1]

Then get me his second in command!

[The Enigma]

He's not available too :O:

[mookiemookie]

Well, Private Gardener, we feel we're owed an explanation! What is happening on this godforsaken rock here? Your treatment of us is completely contrary to the established rules of warfare! You appear to have lost control of your garrison and your commander, if he's even still alive, is nowhere to be found! Explain!

[AVGWarhawk]

Then get me his second in command!

"Ah, err, um....I think you are talking to him. Last check our SS officer has been gone. Probably whoring around. Ducimus, well, kind of busy from the looks of it. Being I have all this firepower surrounding me I guess that would be me in command. You were saying?"

[The Enigma]

Schnautze!!
*turns towards the prisoner*
OK, prisoner, what's on your mind??

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, Private Gardener, we feel we're owed an explanation! What is happening on this godforsaken rock here? Your treatment of us is completely contrary to the established rules of warfare! You appear to have lost control of your garrison and your commander, if he's even still alive, is nowhere to be found! Explain!

"You know, my old man said I should join this mans army for the good of the country. This is way above my pay grade. The Private Gardener crack? It is Private Warhawk to you! As far as explanations I have none for you. I'm at the bottom of the food chain and hoping not to become part of the different food chain on this island if you understand my meaning. The only established rule here at the moment is what these WW are enforcing. From the looks of it, it is death. Why so sad? Go talk to Enigma."

[Raptor1]

Bottom of the food chain? Then get someone higher on it, now!

[Pioneer]

:::The walk has done little to help. A collection of rocks in his pockets, another collection of shells in the other pocket, but the muffled sound of the speaker box has brought him back to the bunkhouse. Fatigue form being awake at night forces him to settle in for a nap, but not before laying the laying the contents of his pockets out, the seashells inside the door and the rocks beneath the window. Who ever, or whatever it is that enters, will not do so without making a noise.:::

[AVGWarhawk]

Bottom of the food chain? Then get someone higher on it, now!


"Look...mate....you got Enigma. Currently he is in command for the moment. Plus he is a bit lit from the schnapps. Best we can offer. Ask your questions."

[The Enigma]

*No longer standing the ignorance of his comrade, the Enigma walks back into the kitchen and refills his glass*

Schnaps das war sein letztes Wort, da trugen im die Englein fort
(German drinking song)

[The Enigma]

*Burrrrrp walks back to the gate*


Nnnah, howw can I help you sssir?

[AVGWarhawk]

Great, Enigma is lit like a Roman Candle. Hmmmm...wonder how the boys are doing in Italy? Ummm...err....nevermind....Lack of sleep is making me foggy...

[Raptor1]

*is getting tired of this*

You can get me your CO...

[The Enigma]

Sorry, you have to deal with me for a while.
Like my ccommrade already tollld you, Hhauptmann RRrearr is dreaming his dreams.

Shall I openn the gate, in that way we could have a chatt (if that's what you name it, isn't it)?

But I must warn you, no tricks. You and I need each other if we are willing to survive the next couple of days.

[AVGWarhawk]

*leaning over the tower wall and in a loud voice*

"The simple answer is NO! Talk to Enigma..the drunk one at the gate. Now here this you Brits. You can talk to Enigma all you like, I have spoken my piece. If Enigma lets you in do not approach the north tower for any purpose. I'm loaded to the gills with cold firepower that will project hot firepower in your direction. As you feel the bullet deforms as it passes through your chest wall you will realize the day is over for you. You have been warned."

[Raptor1]

((I was talking to Enigma...))

Yes, if you can please open the gate and invite us in, we can at last discuss everything we need to talk about...

[AVGWarhawk]

((I was talking to Enigma...))



"Oh, well, nevermind then. I will be in the north tower if anyone needs me." :DL

[The Enigma]

*Enigma opens the gate and whispers*

Pst, I'm not drunk at all, I was just faking. To fool my comrade.
He is very uncertain and afraid. For covering up his emotions, he armored himself in the tower. There he is fully convinced that nobody will ever touch him.

Please follow me into the kitchen.

[The Enigma]

Lynch Vote = Lord Justice
Reason: Most Germans get killed and not English prisoners.
So the possibility that a WW is amongst them is bigger.
And like I mentioned before, LJ walks around with that finger of the Cook.

[Raptor1]

Thank you. Now, can I see one of your superiors? Surely one of them is awake...

[Tarrasque]

*Getting nowhere with the catatonic PO, Tarrasque broods to himself.*

"Looks like we must have brought some of these creatures with us. Only one I can think it might be is Lord Justice. He's been acting extremely strangely recently..."

((Lynch vote for Lord Justice))

[Lord Justice]

L J Votes August for lynch.

[August]

Thank you. Now, can I see one of your superiors? Surely one of them is awake...


August swivels his MG-42 around to point at the English below.

"Englander, for the 3rd night in a row our surviving officer, Hauptman Rear, has deliberately abandoned us to our own devices. Now he may be a coward or he may be a werewolf but either way our countries are still at war and we have our orders so you and your men will keep your distance or we will fire upon you."

Lynch vote = Rear

[Raptor1]

...very well.

*leaves the castle and returns to the camp*

Bloody useless Jerries.

Mr. Tarrasque, what did Jimbuna tell you?

[mookiemookie]

*puts hands up as August swings the MG his way* Right then, off we go.

*mumbles under his breath to Raptor* The world is getting more and more scruffier, innit? Unidentified wild animal murderers knockin' about and this fella wants to play war.

[Tarrasque]

"Nothing sir. I couldn't get through to him at all."

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna sees Raptor and Tarrasque talking together, he approaches them both and says "Want to know what I saw last night do you"?

He now had their undivided attention.

I saw what is causing this terrible carnage, think of your worst possible nightmare and multiply it one hundred fold and you'll still be a good way off short of the mark. What is equally as important is the fact that I saw the only person it couldn't have been and what bothers me the most is the fact it wasn't one of our number but a bloody Jerrie!!....Now ponder on that thought gentlemen"

[Raptor1]

A Beast, eh? I wouldn't have believed it until now, but then, I wouldn't have believed most of the things I've seen here if I've been told about them. One of the Jerries mentioned their surviving officer as Hauptmann Rear, I guess their Oberst got killed by one in the night...

*ponders for a minute*

Well, at least they seem genuine enough in letting us get out of here.

((I'll be off for now. Consider me having Abstained from the lynch vote. If anyone needs to escape tonight, Mookie will do it.))

[Pioneer]

Watches as the Captain prepares to bunk down for the night. There is still some time left before the darkness falls. Time is important at the moment, less we neglect the need to survive.

The pasture beyond the south wall leads to an obvious minefield, large warning signs written in German clearly expound the nature of proceeding further. The signs are lines up along like the rank and file parallel to the west wall. As the sun sets, the horizon is dotted.

"What the???:

To the west of the structure, some distance out, and across the minefield, the corrugations indicate that a structure of some sort exists, or rather, existed. It was was tall and has fallen into disrepair, but it lays across the minefield. To the north lays the South Turret, which would afford a better view.

"What I wouldn't give to be in the castle tonight."

[AVGWarhawk]

Polishing my weapons for clean unobstructed action if need be. I'm ready for anything. There will be no shenaningans tonight. I will give whatever comes my way a hot lead supper. Right in the gut. Damn, I should be in France writing letters to my folks and not this island of the damned.

Dear Mom and Dad, Having a great time at Wannapee in the Pines. The French have been great since we run the place now.

Nope, stuck here guarding something from another something that shreds people like paper. Just swell......

*takes a second inventory*

[Takeda Shingen]

After a day of strolling around the compound and listening to the frantic yelling from the castle combined with the oddly still nature of the compound, Takeda sat on his bunk to collect his thoughts.

"Damn if I know what is going on. All I know is that the Germans are dying. And when they do, who is next? Me? Probably. I don't know if I trust these Brits, especially that Lord Justice guy. He's always alone, writing. And about what. If I could get rid of one guy in this camp, it would be Lord Justice."

[mookiemookie]

((Sorry to not RP this, but I'm crunched for time ATM. Lynch vote = Lord Justice))

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna weighs up his options and remembers the beast was exiting the castle after it had attacked which probably meant it was returning to the prisoners compound.

Either that or it was that SS guy heading back to wherever he had disappeared to.

He thought about the strange behaviour of one of the crew and that made his mind up for him.

I vote LJ for lynching.

[August]

August checks the action on the MG-42 and pets Oberons dog who lay prostrate, asleep and panting in front of the wood stove.

He looks across the room at Enigma manning the other MG and points at the dog.

"Hey Enigma! Look at that poor Hund, he is obviously just pining for his master. :D"

[Pioneer]

The harsh paint of the plank of wood leaves splinters as he grips tighter. The square weapon with four nails in the end is little more than a fashioned weapon against whatever, or whoever, is killing everyone. I'd been lucky, the fact I had spent most of the first few nights either out of the bunkhouse or in the compound means I may have missed being the next.

Or I am the culprit?

Fathers stories were always of a man who was part human and part animal. What if father was not telling a bedtime story but a genealogy. What if I had unbeknown savaged the others? Might then the plank be used to fend off my allies.

No, I had the opportunity on the boat while we were at sea. It had to be something associated with the island, the Germans. It was nothing that a good lynching wouldn't lend a hand to.

I had seen so few, but the SS man was still absent without cause. If anyone deserved to be lynched, it was he without an alibi.

Vote for lynching: SS Nigeis.

"Are there no guardians among us" he bellows from his bunk into the silence of the night.

[Onkel Neal]

"Ok, you! Enough of your scribbling away in that book. On your feet and come with us."

Petty Officer Lord Justice looked up to see Jimbuna, Tarrasque, and Mookie approaching with a length of rope. "What the blazes do you think you're doing?"

A fierce struggle ensued. LJ threw the men from him with a desperate strength they had not expected. The calamity roused the American from his cot. He staggered into the bunkhouse.
"Come on, mate, lend a hand, be a lad, there," huffed Jimbuna, his face red with effort as he struggled with the snarling LJ. Takeda joined the struggle, turning the tide.

Minutes later, Lord Justice found himself tied to the post that Vendor died on.

"Come on, boys, you can't be serious, we served together," pleaded LJ. "You're going to kill one of your own, in cold blood?"

The men stared back. "No," said Mookie. "We don't have that in us."

From the darkness stepped Schuetze The Enigma, bearing a bolt-action rifle.

"No," whispered LJ. "You're going to let that lousy German kill me? One of them?"

"There's no them and us, British and Jerries," replied Tarrasque. "It's us and the hairies, and they're winning. Here's where get some back." He nodded at Enigma, who spit out his cigarette, raised his rifle, and squeezed off a shot in one motion.

Lord Justice lurched back against the post, then slumped against he ropes.




Then he raised his head, his eyes glowering blood red, canine fangs protruding with a growl. One rope snapped! Then another.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=511&pictureid=4461


All the men jerked into action and fired off a furious avalanche of rounds. When the smoke cleared and the clicking on empty chambers ended, what was left of their former Petty officer was well and truly dead.




Night begins

[The Enigma]

*Still trembling, holding his riffle pointed towards the deceased*

What the hell was that? Did I really saw, what I saw?

So it's all true. We are getting killed by monsters.

*Turns around and talks to no one particular*

This was the most awe full thing I've ever seen.
Can someone confirm that I'm awake and not dreaming?

[Nisgeis]

Nisgeis ran into camp breathlessly shouting “Hello?! Anyone?! Is it too late? I know what we must do now!!” Finding no one immediately around, he runs to the Oberst’s office and bursts in. “Oberst! Forgive me, but I…”. Nisgeis stopped dead as he saw the blood soaked remains on the bed. “NO! NO! NO! This cannot be! I am too late! Curse my stupidity… my arrogance! What a fool I was to think I could bottle the devil! May the good Lord forgive me.”


Nisgeis ran back into the courtyard and shouted out “Forces of evil I will destroy you with my faith! You cannot hide! You cannot run! God gives me the strength and I shall smite you all down!”

Nisgeis then ran through the castle searching for any survivors. The first person he found was Rear. He grabbed him by the lapels and shouted “It’s not too late! We can still do it!” his eyes wide with intensity “Who else? Who else was killed? Oh Lord, how long did it take for my eyes to open? Was it a day? Two? A Week? If it is a week, then… all is lost! Is it too late? No, stop!” He looked away at the ground and frowned. “Think man!” he said to himself, “Use your head. Think!”

Nisgeis rubbed one hand on his face, feeling his stubble. “Not much more than a day or two’s growth” he looked up and smiled brightly “We CAN do it!”. “WHO IS LEFT!? You MUST tell me!”

Nisgeis calmed after being told that there has been only one more death since his departure and that one of the beasts has been destroyed. “That is very bad, but also we have a great chance now. We must work together to destroy the evil that has befallen us.”

“Yes, we must organise and I must get cleaned up, I am in no fit state to talk to anyone.” Nisgeis seemed to come to his senses and for the first time he seemed to recognise Hauptmann Rear and looked at his hands. “I’m sorry” he said as he released Rear’s lapels. “I’m going to get myself cleaned up.” He turned and walked away wearily, with his head down.

[Nisgeis]

After cleaning up, Nisgeis asked for all the Germans, British and American to be assembled in the mess hall. Once assembled, he addressed them:

“A short while ago, I am unsure now of exactly how long it was, I left this castle to investigate the nunnery to the Northeast. “Something overwhelming happened to me up there. As soon as I stepped inside, I was deafened by a powerful voice. I was unable to think above the noise. I tried to resist against it, but the more I fought it the louder it became. I lay there for what seemed like an eternity, paralysed. Eventually my spirit to fight was broken. I let down my defences and the noise flooded over me… through me! It was painful, but oddly enlightening. I was forced to relive over and over my many personal atrocities that I am ashamed to say I once enjoyed inflicting. Once my own personal disgust at my actions had grown to a level I did not think I could bear, the noise became soothing and I must have passed out, for when I awoke I was at peace with myself.”

“I knew then what I must do.”

“A few days ago, I was so vain, so stupid… I actually thought I could capture a beast and experiment on it for the Reich. I was so short sighted, so weak! These creatures are pure evil. A tool of the devil. A thing so toxic, to touch it is to touch death itself.”

“We must work together. We are still enemies and we are still at war, the difference is that the sides and the rules have changed. There is no Geneva convention for us. The new enemy are the creatures and if only this new enemy would wear a uniform there could be no mistake, but that is not the case. They wear their fur on the inside. We must examine every story, every clue, every sentence uttered and cross examine each other without malice or fear of retribution. If we do not work together then we are all dead. Do you hear me? We will all die, if we try to save ourselves individually. We must save all of us, or none will survive.”

“We must not act as Axis versus Allies, but as humans against beasts. They are evil beasts that absolutely will not stop until we are dead.”

“I understand the natural reaction is to turn on anyone seen as an accuser, in case that person accuses you next, so it is a natural self preservation reaction, but we must not think that way as it is counterproductive. I fear that the current climate is inclined to vote for people who carefully consider and present evidence against others. If we carry on like that, we will destroy our best detectives and clues and then we are done for. We must be open with our discussion and not punish free thinking. Evidence presented must be debated and discussed, without the presenter being fearful of being lynched. The smallest detail could be crucial.”

“When voting it would also be helpful to state the reasons why you believe the person you are voting for is a foul creature.”

“By the way, does everyone think it wise to vote to lynch the person who has provided us with concrete evidence as to the numbers of the evil creatures and could continue to do so? “

“It is vital to know their numbers. I must examine the body of the Oberst. A job I shall no longer relish.” Nisgeis is quiet for a moment and then says, with a slight waver in his voice “I still have the notes to compare the wounds against. Hopefully this is not the work of a new beast.”

[Nisgeis]

After finishing the examination, Nisgeis stands and says to himself "With each attack, these foul creatures betray themselves even more. Each corpse brings a new vital clue to the identity of the beasts."

[Rear]

"Calm yourself Nisgeis. Did you find anything at the Nunnery that you might be able to report officially? Also, since you are back, I grant command to you for the night."

((OOC:Going to work again bah!))

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna turns his back on the body of what was commonly known by the name of LJ and thought to himself 'well, at least they now have some idea of what we are up against'.

He turned and looked again at the corpse and could find no resemblance to that with which he had come face to face with the other night and wondered 'do they look different from one another at all...surely they must'.

His last thought on the matter was 'we are obviously up against more than one'.

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna left the mess hall at the end of Nisgeis speech and couldn't stop himself from smirking 'so the SS guy has returned?.....how convenient. Nope my old son I still believe a leopard never changes its spots'.

[AVGWarhawk]

Watching from the north tower as Lord Justice gets the receiving end of the rifles....

*speaking to self out loud*

"Oh schnitzel! He is a werewolf! I have never seen such a ghastly beast. Not even in my worst nightmares! What have these Tommies brought to the island? Holle, what have we brought to this island? This is madness. To make matters worse, our feared SS man returns like this is just another day at the park. I find this all very interesting. I shall as Nisgeis his new plans since it does not include cracking knuckles anymore."

Note to self, do not make notes to self like Lord Justice. Apparently that is warrant enough to tie you to a post and get shot. Madness....

[Pioneer]

The spectacle of the lifeless Petty Officer as a limp hairy corpse was too much to bear. The Officer had served with dignity, only to be assassinated on a far away isle. Pioneer bent down and retrieved the papers and pencil that still lay in the officers jacket before standing up again.

He stepped back, saluted, and turned.

The night was still young.

[Tarrasque]

*Shivers slightly*

"I was right. God help us. If Lord Justice could have been a monster, so could all of us."

[Raptor1]

*lies on his bunk*

Lord Justice was a beast. But, that's impossible, nobody has been murdered on the boat before we got here. Could the Germans have done something to him? And that SS person, his sudden attitude reversal is suspicious, I still think he is insane...

[AVGWarhawk]

This deal with Nisgeis is all to cleverly played. He is up to something. Disappears for the night and returns a different man. Something smells rotten in Finland. I believe he is a great actor and has perfected his trade to help serve his role as a SS officer. Afterall, other than physcial harm to extract information what else is also employed to gain information? Deception! Nisgeis has been pulling the strings since the Brits arrived. Come daybreak and if I survive this night(I should..I have enough weapons to serve the Eastern Front) I will speak with Nisgeis. Think I will be asking more questions than he this time.

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna contemplates....'Now that everyone knows what we face I shouldn't be suprised if there is a witch hunt this evening. Things are now starting to get very interesting'....(checks his silver Talisman dagger).

[mookiemookie]

After Nisgeis' speech, Mookie slipped away from the group to do a bit of impromptu exploration. He made his way through the darkness and across the small stream on the western side of the prisoner barracks. A chill wind blew through his uniform and straight into his bones. He pulled his collar up to try and cut some of the iciness. Mookie was keenly aware of every sound around him, and a sense of uneasiness permeated his mind. As he trekked on through the darkness, the uneasiness turned to dread. The normal sounds of the night - breezes rustling leaves, the ocean waves lapping at the shore - turned into a cacophony of evil.

Mookie turned and ran back to the castle.

"Right then, much better light for this sort of thing during the day. Much better. Much bettermuchbettermuchbetter..."

He babbled his mantra all the way back to the rest of the group until he was back safely in the confines of the castle.

[August]

As the long night wore on August continued to reflect on the SS mans wild tale.

"The only people who have given me any reason to suspect them are the SS man and Hauptman Rear.

First, the SS Man. I suspect him because, well because he's an SS man and they are evil even in human form, but mostly because he told me personally that he was a werewolf in a PM he sent to me just before he disappeared. I don't buy this sudden religious epiphany one little bit. He still wears the Deaths Head on his black uniform.

Second, Hauptman Rear. He has deliberately isolated himself every night since this horror began, even after assuming command. Abandoning ones troops is totally counter to the actions of a competent officer and we only have his word that he locked himself away.

When Private Enigma attempted to communicate with him he was told to shove a message under the door even though it was delivered. Since Enigma was obviously a human there must have been some other reason why Rear didn't want Enigma to see him.

Coupled with his eagerness to defend Nisgeis and his quick accusation against me, I feel they must be werewolves. But which one is the more dangerous of the two? If Enigma and I survive the night I will recommend that we execute one of them and chain the other one up in the dungeon."

[AVGWarhawk]

If I ever get off this rock I'm going to design and patent a night scope. Something for the MP40 I would think. I'm destined for great things. Those damn shadows I see moving outside the castle wall, I would like to see who they are and take them out just for the sport. I'm going to be the last man standing!

[Jimbuna]

Mookie slipping away did not go unnoticed by Jimbuna 'May have to have a word with him and pool our resources, we could cover more area if we did it in a joint/co-ordinated fashion' he thought to himself.

[Pioneer]

The Petty Officers journal did little to assist in tracking the werewolf's. If the Petty Officer was a werewolf, and the SS man is to be believed, there are still at least two others.

The sailor put the journal down.

On the night the SS man was gone, there was only one kill. On the night he was present, there were three killed inside the castle, of which one may have been done by the Petty Officer. On the first night, only a German was killed.

"The odds of a German being a werewolf are climbing," he thought.

Getting in and out of the castle with the place fortified would be difficult, but not so if you were already in the castle.

[Onkel Neal]

An uneasy truce settled between the two sides. No sooner than the shots faded and the schnapps run out, the men went their separate ways, having no discernible orders to the contrary. Jimbuna was alone in the Great Hall, muttering to himself, cleaning the table and picking up the empty glasses. "Just like me mates, they know how to knock a few back but they forget they're Royal Navy and leave a mess. Wish we still had the days of scrubbing the decks with sandstone, yeah."

A door slammed and he jumped. Realizing his situation, he threw down his cloth and pulled off his apron and fairly sprinted for the opposite exit.

"What's the matter, sailor? You seem a bit jumpy," SS Nisgeis laughed, entering into the light.

"Damn your eyes! I know you're the enemy, but what're ya t-trying to do? Kill me?"

Nisgeis smiled, lighting a cigarette. "I learned a great many things from my visit to the nunnery. This island of the damned is--" A tremendous rending of oak and mortar interrupted him--a great, fearsome beast smashed through the door like paper and ripped Nisgeis' head from his torso.

Jimbuna shrieked and fled through the back. Sprinting all out, he raced through the Inner Ward. As he rounded the kitchen heading for the North Turret he passed Task Force asleep in a ball by the foot of the stairs. "Wake up, mate! For crissakes, wake up!" Jimbuna leapt through the breach, twisting his ankle on the rubble. "Awww, no, no no," he groaned. Limping at a gallop, he headed for the POW camp. A glance over his shoulder and he saw an ominous shadow loping behind him.

The petty officer hitched it up another gear and sped through the now-open POW gates. He staggered out of breath and in considerable pain into the Bunkhouse A. "Captain!! I saw another one, get the men--oh-my-gawd..."

Jimbuna found he was alone in the room with a corpse. His commanding officer was dead, dismembered in a fashion he was becoming used to. "Oh the damned butchers," he said, tears welling up.

Then he knew he was not alone in the room. He was nearly overcome by a fetid smell, and he turned slowly. A werewolf, nearly eight feet tall, towered over him. Its inhuman eyes, its horrible grimace of slavering fangs were only an arm's length away.


http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=511&pictureid=4464


With no escape, Jimbuna pulled the silver talisman dagger from his jacket. "Ok, ok, let's see about this then!" The beast flicked the dagger from his hand and it flew across the room. "Ah, I see," whispered the submariner. A guttural sound grew from the werewolf. It tensed to attack--then drew back. For a second, Jimbuna thought he could read confusion, fear in its eyes. "Yeah, yeah?" he shouted, advancing. "So whatre' ya gonna make of it, you blighter!" The creature stood its ground for a moment, then loped out the door and disappeared into the moonlight.

Jim collapsed on the nearest bunk. "Oh, the things I'll have to tell my grandkids when they ask what Pops did during the War."




Day begins


.

[Pioneer]

The sounds of commotion brought him out of bed with a fright. He sprinted forward, like they had when they crash dived, towards the other bunkhouse. He burst through the door and threw up, everywhere, the putrid smell assaulted his nostrils with vengeance.

"We're dying Jim, there coming after us, one by one."

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda stood by the bunkhouse door. There were more killings. Nisgeis, who had called for cooperation between the Germans and their captors was now dead, and what hunted them was most certainly not human. What was more, those inhuman things were among them, as evidenced by Lord Justice's death. Something wicked was afoot, and he knew that any one of them could be next. Something must be done, and done before nightfall.....

[Tarrasque]

"When will this horror end?"

*Heads east from the camp towards the river and the beach beyond.*

*cRaCkLe* *brief feedback*

ATTENTION, THIS IS HAUPTMANN REAR OF CASTLE COLLINSWOOD. More victims have been slain overnight. It has come to my attention that less werewolf attacks occur whilst Oberfeldwebel Ducimus the American Journalist Takeda Shingen are absent or restrained. It is therefore my duty to ensure that the American is taken into custody and held within the castle dungeons for both his protection and ours. Danke.

*microphone cuts out*

[Rear]

"Soldiers of the Reich, you heard my orders. Carry them out and do not let anyone get in the way."

Turning to mookiemookie

"Sub-lieutenant mookiemookie, I believe you are next in line for the Britische command yes? Might I speak with you in the interest of cooperation and mutual survival?"

[AVGWarhawk]

*mumbling in his sleep*

"Can't fall asleep, can't fall asleep. Bad things happen. Awful things happen. Scream, scream...it will do you no good!"

*wakes startled. Looks about rubbing eyes and shaking.*

Damn, feel tired. Been up all night again. Well, I did doze for a bit. Keep that up and it will get me killed. I survived another night and hopefully another day to tell more tales of wit and charm. I need to drum up some breakfast. It would seem all men are for themselves so they can fend for themselves.

*heads to kitchen with weapons. Discovers Nisgeis*

"Good Lord! Another attack! What a mess. Private Gardener is not cleaning that up! No sir!"

*looks down at the headless torso*

"Well sir, you will not be asking or answering any more questions today. Just as well, you were never quite right. Perhaps dropped as a baby."

*laughs. grabs bread and other provisions. Heads to the north tower.*

*microphone cuts out*

LYNCH VOTE = DUCIMUS

Is this guy for real? Sure, all is well in Takeda Shingenland! So if this Amerikanerin is deemed free of changing then lets leave him out. Survival in numbers I say. The more these possible victims are available for these creatures the better off we will be....well, I will be. Anyway, your duty is to Germany and not the Amerikanerin. Might be a good idea to pull up camp and head to the old lighthouse. It is getting stale around here. Who gave him that damn microphone anyway?

*continues eating bread formulating his next move*

[AVGWarhawk]

Time to break camp. The numbers are not in my favor. Dead Germans splattered about the castle. It creates a stink truth be told. My number could be coming up. What's the difference? Lynched or werewolf? Either way your dead. Here I sit in a tower with a breach in the wall. Rear can watch his own tower and stuff the Amerikanerin in the dungeon for all I care. It is every man for themselves. I will take the tunnel to the ruins of the lighthouse. I will be protected by the minefields. I will have the water to my back. It is good a place as any to protect one's self.

*collects as many weapons and ammo as he can carry. Stops by the kitchen for more provisions. Heads to the tunnel with a final destination of the lighthouse ruins*

Rear can have them all under one roof. Seems this is what he wants anyway.

[mookiemookie]

"... taken into custody and held within the castle dungeons for both his protection and ours. Danke."

Mookie walked with a purpose and thought to himself, "Blighter's probably trying to get his next victims corralled in for easy prey. Well not me. Not tonight. Not here, not now." Mookie strode across the castle grounds, out the gate and to the north. He wanted to reach the lighthouse ruins to signal for help. Some passing vessel would be bound to see a morse code signal. As he walked, he saw signs printed in German on his left. The pictographs on the signs made their meaning clear: minefield. "Too risky. And I don't trust anyone to show me the way through. Not in this situation." Mookie's eyes settled on a barely visible path, just wide enough for a man, into the forest beyond the minefield. "Can't go through...just go around!"

Mookie looked over his shoulders, sighed and started into the dense growth of the forest...

[mookiemookie]

I will take the tunnel to the ruins of the lighthouse. I will be protected by the minefields. I will have the water to my back. It is good a place as any to protect one's self. [/I]

((OOC- that tunnel is blocked. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1691831&postcount=414))

[Jimbuna]

After a short while Jimbuna managed to use mind over matter to control his racing heartbeat and hyper ventilation. He looked across the room at the silver talisman on the floor and thought to himself 'fat lot of use you were' but then thought 'perhaps I should have thrown it like a hunting knife'?

For some reason unbeknown to him he experienced a humorous thought and smiled as he thought 'well that creature was certainly a male of the species when you consider the appendage swinging from between its legs and looking at the size of it he certainly wasn't related to me'.

He got up from the bunk and walked over to the talisman, stooping to pick it up then back behind his tunic lapel.

The shock now almost totally subsided he was astonished at how easily the next decision came to him.

Now that the security arrangements had all but been dropped it was time to explore the remainder of the castle...'better to do something than nothing at all' he thought to himself.

[AVGWarhawk]

((OOC- that tunnel is blocked. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1691831&postcount=414))


Shhhhhh....:DL

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna approached the entrance to the chapel and before entering gave a small mental prayer to his maker for help in his search.

As he entered he saw wooden bench seating in two rows on either side, perhaps sufficent to seat forty or so people and at front centre a wooden pulpit with a large brass looking crucifix standing atop it.

Behind the pulpit on the brick wall hung a painting of the fallen madonna with the big boobies (Allo Allo, sorry couldn't resist).

He formulated his search plan quickly...down on all floors and check each bench for anything hidden underneath or covering a cellar door perhaps, then on to the pulpit for a similar examination.

[AVGWarhawk]

*makes way to tunnel only to find it blocked*

Damn, this puts a wrench in the gears. I wonder if I can move these rocks?

*makes attempt*

[Jimbuna]

*Puts his weight against the wooden pulpit and feel it starting to move a little*

[The Enigma]

*The enigma is walking firmly towards the North Turret*

So, that SS creep wanted to reveal something about this place.
He learned that at St. Sophia's Nunnery.
Nobody seems to be willing to learn what that might be.
I'm going to find out, no matter what.

*At the N. Tower, Enigma slips through the breach and continues his way....*

[The Enigma]

*While crossing the outer ward*

I need to think strait forward. That's the only way to solve the puzzle.


Some new facts:

*Nisgeis is dead, that makes him (almost) human
*Captain Raptor1 killed by the beast, so he was human.
*The WereWolf seems to be reluctant to kill Jimbuna, despite it's choice to do so (Is he protected by some force?).
*Oberfeldwebel Ducimus is still missing (start finding this very awkward)
*Schuetze AVGWarhawk is becoming a nervous wreck. (how come, does he has to live with a terrible truth?)

[The Enigma]

*while walking*

It seems like the fog is less dense at the North East side of the castle.
I never noticed this before, but then again, I never had the chance to take a hike here.

*Some shrubbery is covering The Enigma from the castle*

[AVGWarhawk]

*makes way to tunnel only to find it blocked*

Damn, this puts a wrench in the gears. I wonder if I can move these rocks?

*makes attempt*


I'm making headway. However, is this worth the effort. What other part of the mudball can I protect myself?

*thinks of the beach and makes way to there*

[The Enigma]

*To ease himself, Enigma tries to whistle a German song*

Pfhhhiii Whiiii PHooooo Whoooo

*A black crow is alarmed and flies away while protesting the disturbance 'Cra Cra Cra'*

Nah, that doesn't help, I better keep low profile.
You never know what's behind the next turn of this path.

*step, step,step*

[The Enigma]

*Enigma enters the 'verbotene wald'*

That's handy, a nice path is inviting me to use it.
So be brave Enigma and take the easy way. Last days have been hard enough.

*The trees have grown up to the sky, keeping away the poorly shining sun.
It's becoming darker while Enigma enters the wood further.*

Darn, there must be some water in the neighborhood.
I can hear it's sound and it's getting a bit foggy again.

*There he discovers a small wooden bridge*

[The Enigma]

*After crossing the stream, the road turns right and then left again.
Enigma's heart is pounding like hell*

O boy, what have I started. It's a really creepy dark wood I'm walking in.
I do hope the nunery is not that far away anymore.

*The Enigma wants to end his nightmare and starts marching*

Eins Zwei, Eins Zwei, Eins ....

Nah, was ist den da zu sehen (What's that)??

*After the last right turn, the nunnery reveals itself*

OK, taht's a typical building like one would expect to see in a Frankenstein movie.

Shall I enter or shall I leave, that's my question.
*Schutze Enigma is becoming weak and he wonders what to do next*

[Tarrasque]

*Crosses the river, reaches the beach and spends a long time staring at the sea.*

I wonder. Perhaps it would be better just to jump in and let the waves take me. Would certainly be cleaner than being torn to shreds by a monster. Who could it be though. I thought Nisgeis but he's gone. So too has the captain.
It seems strange that Hauptmann Rear is now communicating via tannoy - perhaps he's changed into something.
Ducimus seems to be missing all the time - where?
August and Enigma seem constantly on edge - guilty conscience perhaps. AVGWarhawk seems to have gone mad - he's talking about weapons that don't even exist.
MookieMookie seems to have hid behind the captain's shadow - is that purely because he's a sub-lieutenant or something more sinister?
Jimbuna has scared these things off twice now - is that one beast recognising another?
Task Force and Pioneer are again being too quiet and as for Takeda, he was acting strange as soon as we got here.

I suppose I should put more thought into who the guilty party is, but a death by firing squad is a mercy compared to being shredded by a beast.

I guess Takeda then. Yes Takeda. At least the rest of us are warriors. He's just a journalist, in the wrong place and time.

((Lynch vote for Takeda))

[AVGWarhawk]

*makes way to tunnel only to find it blocked*

Damn, this puts a wrench in the gears. I wonder if I can move these rocks?

*makes attempt*

I'm making headway. However, is this worth the effort. What other part of the mudball can I protect myself?

*thinks of the beach and makes way to there*


*arrives to the beach*

Time for some trench warfare! I will have my back to the water. To the front of me a open beach into field. I will place a weapon at several points along my trench. I will sit tight. The beast or beasts from England are in for a rude awakening. Madness I say...madness.

*beings digging trench and preparing....

*The picture is quite clear. There is really is no cooperation here. All command structure is gone. Men are wondering aimlessly. How can anyone protect others if none are banding together? As soon as the sun is up men scurry away like coachroaches at the flick of the kitchen light. Well, they can call me mad because I have armed myself. I will be the last man standing....

[AVGWarhawk]

*Crosses the river, reaches the beach and spends a long time staring at the sea.*



"You there...Tarrasque I believe. What say you? What do you know? Can you and I make sense of all of this?"

[Pioneer]

The need to survive is over ridden by the need for knowledge. The animal, or is it animals, that are killing us must have some origin on the island. With the Petty Officer dead there must be something local that triggered this. The castle, has to be the key, there must be somethign in, or about the castle, which has brought on the onslaught. If it can be identified, maybe there is still time to stop the next event.

Pioneer makes his way through the south gates and immediately turns left and enters the widows den.

The large wooden door creaks open and he peers inside, before stepping inside and quietly sealing the door shut behind him.

[Task Force]

(delayed reaction, my ISP went out.)

"gets woken up by jimbuna running and yelling"

WOAH, as jimbuna and the best run by

Lays down still... I hear if you don't move. beasties tend to ignore you.

"Vote for rear, He uses the megaphone!"

[Tarrasque]

*Eyes the heavily over armed AVGWarhawk cautiously.*

"We can try. As long as you keep those guns of yours aimed in the other direction to me."

[August]

I vote to lynch Rear.

[Rear]

"Gott damn deserters! I will take the American into custody myself!"

Pulls out his Luger and forces Takeda into shackles within the Dungeon.

((OOC:I assume I can still do this as the British haven't overthrown the Germans?))

[Takeda Shingen]

Is taken to the dungeon.

(OOC: Yes, I think you can, as it is a critical part of the game mechanics. Best to ask in the other thread to be sure)

[AVGWarhawk]

*Eyes the heavily over armed AVGWarhawk cautiously.*

"We can try. As long as you keep those guns of yours aimed in the other direction to me."


"Excellent! Let us speak and see what we can determine here. Obviously the island is full of beasts. If one is not shredded by a werewolf they are lynched for just taking notes on a piece of paper. So who really are the beasts? That lunatic Nisgeis got his. I thought he a crack to begin with. SS men, not to be trusted I always say. Your are Brit. I have no ill will of the Brits. I was told to join and fight the good fight for the Reich. You know, propaganda. The men that are left from the submarine. What do you know about them?

"Prepare for a night of AVGWarhawk's potato laxatives you hairy beast!" :haha:

[Tarrasque]

"Before we landed here I would have said they were all good men. Clearly that wasn't true.

Especially since Lord Justice turned out to be a monster in human form, I've been trying to work out if any one else could be another beast.

They're all acting strange, but is that due to the stress of the situation or because they've become something else?

If I had to say for sure I would guess Takeda principally. As for a British beast? Either mookiemookie or perhaps Pioneer. I have no evidence however, just gut instinct."

[Tarrasque]

"Officially yes. Unofficially he hasn't given me an order for a day or so. Discipline within our ranks, much as within yours now seems to be non-existent.

They're good men but this goes beyond their training and experience. They perhaps needed a strong leader to hold them together, but with the death of Raptor1 and mookiemookie's weakness that hope is gone.

And what of you germans? Are you sure that you've managed to purge the beast from within your ranks?"

[Jimbuna]

*Puts his weight against the wooden pulpit and feel it starting to move a little*

'If I can only assert a little more weight and move it a little further' Jimbuna thinks to himself as the perspiration from his forehead starts flowing into his eyes forcing him to blink repeatedly.

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna halts his exertions and takes a little time to get his breath back and thinks 'lets have a look at that fallen madonna painting in the meantime'.

Nothing is ever sure for us Germans. The SS constantly watching. The entire outfit a propaganda machine. Truth be told I'm just the damn gardener. I know potatoes, peas and carrots. Not werewolf and lynching for the fun of it. I mean really, they string up anyone at a whim. As for me, if there is a lynching tonight...that Rears is the one. The hiding and using the address system. Not much in the way of leadership. Engima, you know, the schnapps lover....he is not to be trusted. Last I saw of him he was wandering off into the woods. As for your men, I have been watching. This Jimbuna fellow seems ok. He is a busy body today. I witnessed him entering the chapel as I was making my way here. He just plays to much the innocent. Got to watch those quiet ones. The American, I understand he has been unscathed and now in the dungeon. I would say by the killing witnessed, these beasts getting into the dungeon will be easy. All I know is I'm staying here and protecting myself. You seem like your head is on straight. You may join me if you wish. There is plenty of arms for the both of us to handle man or beast! Perhaps you and I can work together to root out these werewolves! Beside, currently my arse is puckered with this entire ordeal. "

"What say you?"

*smiling waiting on a reply*

Naw, i'm pretty sure that our surviving officer is one. Every move the guy has made so far seems like it was designed to keep us isolated and vulnerable.

I warned your two officers yesterday not to leave anyone alone but they ignored me.

I make the same suggestion to you now. Stay in groups. A werewolf can only attack one person at a time so stay in groups of at least four and will be at least one survivor in the morning who can identify who changed and who didn't.

I will be manning a tower tonight. All English or Germans aside from Rear who want to fort up with me may do so.

[Tarrasque]

"Such a shame August that you choose to stay in the castle. That sir, is the killing grounds. The place is splashed with blood and guts. If you so wish and at the agreement of Tarrasque joining our Anti-Wolf League is open for discussion. Here on the beach we have the water at our backs. Unless these beasts are Golden Retrieves I do not see an attack from the oceans behind us. Our front protected by our weapons. Think about it."

Jimbuna feels around the extremities of the paintings frame and pushes it a little. The right hand side starts to move away from the wall as if there was a hinge on the other side...

I only picked the castle because it has stout walls and heavy lockable doors. The beach guard tower would do as would the English submarine. Your beach trench though is indefensible and your weapons useless against the beasts.

Jimbuna looks to either side of the fallen madonna painting and sees the cloth murals hanging down fro the ceiling and wonders 'there could possibly be a door hidden behind one of these'.

"Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer,
To add something more to this wonderful year;
To honour we call you, as freemen not slaves,
For who are so free as the sons of the waves"

"Heart of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men,
we always are ready; Steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again."

"We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay,
They never see us but they wish us away;
If they run,why we follow and run them ashore,
And if they won't fight us, what can we do more."

"Heart of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men,
we always are ready; Steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again."

"we still make them feel and we still make them flee,
and drub them at shore as we drub them at sea,
so cheer up me lads with one heart let us sing,
oh soldiers and sailors, our statesmen and king."

"Heart of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men,
we always are ready; Steady, boys, steady!
We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again."

[AVGWarhawk]

"Wonderful song Tarrasque! Let the others become fodder for the werewolves. If they survive it will only make them suspect for a lynching. We see how that is determined...a coin toss and a wink. Either way these men are damned....."

*looks to the sky*

[Jimbuna]

Must keep searching!!

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna unhinges the painting and

Official Discovery
a small book/journal falls to the floor.

He picks it up and looks around to ensure nobody else has seen his discovery.

He puts the find in his tunic and scurry's off back to the compound.

My vote....Rear for lynching

[Pioneer]

The room is dank, no one has obviously been in here for a while. The dust on the ground shows no evidence of footsteps, and rather than disturb it, he steps off to the sides and into the shadows.

The building is one big room, laid out like a church, row upon row of long wooden pews, but unlike a church, there are no Godly statues, there are no religious symbols. He works his way into the corner and looks over the room.

"It's an art gallery?" he questions himself.

The side walls are lined with portrait paintings, large artworks with gold scalloped edges. Each of the paintings is a man, is various posses. A hunter, a farmer, a military officer in a uniform not recognizable, even a fisherman. They are all in like possess, full length, standing upright, one leg raised and resting on something.

He walks down the side of the room and looks up at first painting as it towers over him. A small bronze plaque at the bottom appears to be inscribed. Pioneer raises his hand over the plague and wipes the dirt clean. The inscription is almost unreadable, but there is an unmistakeable number at the bottom.

A date.

His eyes raise and examines the painting again, the hunter. The deceased hunter. He steps back a little and is startled with the new view of the painting. His breathe shortens and his eyes widen as he takes in the scene. His head darts about at the other paintings as he quickly scans them all.

He is not sure, not yet, at what he has seen.

[Pioneer]

In each of the paintings, the man pictured has his foot rested on something that looks like a large hairy dog, but deformed.

And in the background of every picture, Castle Collinswood.

[Onkel Neal]

(Since Jim is away from keyboard, I'll post his Official Discovery for him).

Jim found a quiet place in the East Turret to examine the journal he found in the chapel. Most of the pages were written in a language he did not recognize, but the last page had this:

... and now the Germans have come, like the Teutonic knights, and the Vikings before them. The island will work its dark magic on them, and there will be blood and death. I must retreat to the only sanctuary there is on this island and wait it out.

.

[Pioneer]

All the paintings had dates on them, a start and end date, almost like they were epitaphs. Graves. Memorials.

He walked around the room slowly, every painting had the hairy creature underfoot of all the men and every painting had the Castle in the background. At the far end of the hall an altar like table lay, without the usual ceremonial clothes and objects. A large altar, made of marble, smooth when you ran your hand over it, cold to touch. Pioneer looked back at the front door. All the pews were angled pointing towards the front in a V formation.

As if this was the place to gather and watch.

Pioneer turned and looked at the largest painting hung behind the table in a recessed nook of the far end of the Widow's Den. It was twice the size of the others, but had the same large hairy creature dead in the picture and the castle int he background. But this picture was slightly different to the others.

The man in the picture was a lighthouse keeper, and he had a rope around the creatures throat. There was no end date on the plaque at the bottom of his picture.

Vote to Lynch Rear.

[mookiemookie]

Mookie trudged forward with heavy steps and tripped over an exposed root for what felt like the 100th time that day. The past 3 hours have been spent in an arboreal hell. The path he had started on quickly became lost in underbrush. He found the path again after a time, then lost it.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Mookie heard the pounding of ocean surf. He headed towards it and the forest gave way to a sandy beach. (Official Discovery) He looked back...he had cleared the minefield! Beyond it, the castle loomed in the distance.

"Damnable mission. Damnable Jerries. Damnable monsters. And the worst of all, that loudmouth Rear....coming on the tannoy and trying to corner us all together. I bet he's the one behind this. Someone should lynch that Hauptmann Rear"

Mookie walked across the sand towards a lighthouse that looked to have been abandoned for years. He needed to reach the top of it to set up some sort of signal fire, a flare, a light...something to attract the notice of a passing ship that could render aid and get him off the island. Mookie stepped inside the lighthouse. The smell of moss, mildew and neglect filled his nose.

"Let's see what secrets you hold, old chum." Mookie began to search the dilapidated rooms....

[Onkel Neal]

The survivors at the castle were tired, frightened and desperate. They knew there was little time left, and if they wanted to come out of this alive, they would need to kill another werewolf soon.

They broke into Rear's chambers, and marched him out to the execution post.

"You took command, and then you disappeared," AVGWarhawk. "That forfeiture of leadership will cost you your life, Hauptmann Rear."

"Fire!"

The German officer died immediately.





Night begins!


.

[Pioneer]

Shots rang out, and Pioneer froze. He was unable to determine if they were aimed at him or close by. he stood still until the only sound he could hear was the wind whistling from behind the largest painting in the room.

[Tarrasque]

*As night falls, starts to look a little bit more unsure*

"Are we certain we're safe here?"

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna read the short piece of writing he could understand over and over again until the realisation hit him like a runaway train 'Of course!!....That had to be the key to all this mayhem'!!

[AVGWarhawk]

*As night falls, starts to look a little bit more unsure*

"Are we certain we're safe here?"


"As safe as being in mamma's arms. Those that went to the castle..not a smart move. That castle is the killing grounds. Rear has bought the farm. Now we stand guard for the night."

[mookiemookie]

"Let's GO, officer cadet!" The instructor yelled impatiently as Mookie struggled up the rope. The shouts of his crewmates had a tone not of encouragement, but more of frustration. There would be much running in store for everyone if Mookie did not make it to the top of the rope. His breath came in grunts and gasps as he slowly put one hand over the other and....

...his hand hit flat rock. Mookie slowly lifted himself up onto the ledge and plopped himself down in the alcove to take a breather. The memory of that day climbing the rope at the Royal Naval College seemed to be a million miles and years away. His arms ached much the same way though, this evening in Finland. However this time, he had much better motivation than the threat of running a few laps. His very survival was at stake.

As he lifted his head up, he took survey of his surroundings. The rock walls were crumbled, but as Mookie ran his hand across them, he saw that there were intricate carvings in the rock. What the meaning of them was was beyond him. He was no archaeologist. Just a Royal Navy officer caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Some time later, Mookie finally had reached the top level of the lighthouse ruins. The view was incredible. He could see for miles in each direction. There was Castle Collinswood and the POW camp. He could make out tiny figures entrenched along the beach past the POW barracks. There was the nunnery that he had overheard others talking about in the camp.

The sun was setting across the sea to the west. Glitters danced across the waves. There were no ships in sight. Undiscouraged, Mookie began to search for something that would be of use to him...

[Pioneer]

Darkness had fallen but he had still not found the source of the wind. The painting was too heavy to lift, there were no hinges, the best he could do was lift one corner and feel his way around. It was not successful. In desperation, with the last of the daylight gone and the moonlight falling through the stained glass windows, he skull dragged a pew over and levered the painting up, bracing it off the wall to reveal the hole behind it. He felt around inside, it was too dark to see how deep it was.

He would need light if this was going to be of assistance.

[Sailor Steve]

Some time later, Mookie finally had reached the top level of the lighthouse ruins. The view was incredible. He could see for miles in each direction. There was Castle Collinswood and the POW camp. He could make out tiny figures entrenched along the beach past the POW barracks. There was the nunnery that he had overheard others talking about in the camp.

The sun was setting across the sea to the west. Glitters danced across the waves. There were no ships in sight. Undiscouraged, Mookie began to search for something that would be of use to him...
"I wondered when one of you would find you're way up here."

*Startled, Mookie barely kept himself from stumbling backwards off the ledge. As he grabbed the sides of the little alcove for support he looked in shock at the figure who he could have sworn was not there a minute ago.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/SailorSteve/thelighthousekeeper.jpg

"How did I miss a man sitting in this small space" he thought, wondering whether he could leap to another of the little nooks before the old man could react.

"Oh, don't be startled", the old man said gently, "I won't harm you. In fact you're quite safe for the moment. No, nothing to fear from old Will Tiresias."

Mookie's nerves were just starting to settle when a piercing cry from the window behind the old man made him nearly jump out of his skin again. The old man stepped aside (as far as one could step aside in that tiny space) to reveal the source of the scream - a seagull had landed in the stone window.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/SailorSteve/Gull.jpg

"Oh!" Will Tiresias smiled again. "That's just Ernst. We keep each other company. He enjoys my conversation, which is good because he's the only company I've had in awhile. In return he shares the fish he catches with me. Aside from that I have a good supply of salt tack, and with all the rain and fog I never have to worry about water.

"But you didn't climb all the way up here to listen to an old man talk about his home life. Having a little trouble, are we? Things that go bump in the night? I was here when the Germans came, you know. Living in the castle, like my fa...oh, I'm sorry, I'm rambling again. I watched them move in, and watched that one fellow's experiments. Didn't do him much good, did they?

"He wasn't the cause of this, you know. Not directly, anyway. It's the Island itself. Something about the island that's not quite...right, if you know what I mean. Brings out the best in some men, and the worst in some. And, apparently, the beast in some as well. *chuckles quietly*

"You can fight this, you know. Ernst helped me hide some things, didn't you Ernst?" To Mookie's shock, and a little delight, the seagull cried out again as if in response to Tiresias' question. "Oh yes, we've been watching. I watched as the Germans made their little garden in the back yard. Put all their boom-toys in the ground. But we saw them, and we kept track. Even made a little map. Hid it somewhere around here, in the room across the way, I think. Or maybe it was under the lamp. No, in that next little nook of a room, under the stone chair. Has every single mine on it, it does. Has the paths where there aren't any, too.

"I also know about a little...something...that can keep the beasties away. Ernst showed it to me. Or was it that old Mother Superior who used to run the nunnery? Strange one, she was. Said she knew my family even before my grandfather...oh! Sorry, my mind was wandering again. Ernst helped me hide the thing. It's in the Widow's Den. Funny name, that. I've always wondered where it came from. My father wouldn't tell me, and my mother...well, that's a story for another day.

"What was I telling you again? Oh yes, the Talisman. Keeps the dark things at bay. Why haven't I gone back for it? Well, haven't needed it, have I? They can't climb up here you see. Of course there's no food up here except what little I have, so you could starve to death if you tried to stay here, all of you. You could try to take mine, but Ernst wouldn't like that, would you Ernst?" Ernst didn't say anything this time, but Will Tiresias' eyes seemed to glow a little at that moment.

"What? Did you say something? Oh, but you were going to. I can tell, you know. The Talisman, wasn't it? Got your curiosity going, didn't we? Alright, if my company bores you that much, I guess I can let you go. We don't mind, do we Ernst? But you'll have to go back to the castle, yes you will. Look under the thirteenth stone. Oh! That doesn't help much, does it. Count from the hollowed-out stone, the drinking scupper. You'll find it.

"Best of luck to you. Ernst likes you, you know."

[Pioneer]

He retracted out of the hole and began to search, looking for a candle or anything that might shed some light. Breaking the armrest of a pew, he wrapped his shirt around the end and eventually poured distilled spirits from an unlit red urn. The shirt burned slowly, as he swept across the painting of the lighthouse keeper again. In the corner, in the warm light, a name jumped out at him.

Will Tiresais.

[mookiemookie]

Mookie stood dumbfounded. Was he hallucinating? Dreaming? Was he right and truly mad? Nothing had made much sense since they landed on this godforsaken place, so he decided to take Will at face value.

"Th...Thank you," stammered Mookie. "That's a great help." Mookie found the minefield map under the stone chair, just where Will said it would be. Glancing at the horizon, Mookie saw the quickly-setting sun.

"Well this should be a refreshing bit of a run." Mookie clambered down the lighthouse ruins and started a sprint back to the Widow's Den, racing against the impending darkness.

[Onkel Neal]

Tarrasque looked up at the moon, wondering how much longer this would last. Who would be the next to die and who would survive.


AVGWarhawk went past the thick dungeon door. Takeda was locked inside; nothing would disturb the American, not man nor beast. Warhawk banged on the door just to taunt the journalist.


"Hey, lemme outa here". Takeda pounded on the door. "Lousy Hauptmann Rear, throws me into the dungeon, doesn't feed me all day. Hey! Haven't you heard of journalistic immunity?!" He slumped back to the stone floor. "Hitler, my ass. Someone better let me out of here."


Across the Inner Ward, in the Widow's Den, Pioneer could hear bestial growling as the creatures hurried from one part of the castle to the other, looking for their prey. Suddenly, a long, triumphant howl tore the night. Pioneer paused, then slowly crept out.


Ducimus heard the howl, closed his eyes, and swallowed.

The next morning they discovered a single casualty: Task Force.

Day begins

.

[AVGWarhawk]

*after watching Rears get his makes way to dungeon to see the American*

"So much for Rear who put you here...oh, nevermind."

*bangs and clatters the bars to bring some fear to the American. Returns to the beach to await daybreak*

[AVGWarhawk]

"Tarrasque! We survived the night. No beasts or man made way to the the trench. Today we shall make more attempts to find out who is running afoul."

*stretches and thinks about breakfast. Scratches butt. Usual morning routine. Thinks about morning constitutional. Needs reading material*

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna was soon alerted to the commotion that morning and knew someone must have met an untimely end.

'No time for sentiments right now' he thought to himself and set off to investigate further parts of the castle.

As he approached the armoury he clearly saw Mookie running towards the Widows Den, he waved to him and Mookie came over.

Jimbuna "What are you up to"?

Mookie "No time to explain in detail atm, time is of the essence but I'm going into the Widows Den....fancy keeping a lookout"?

Jimbuna "Yeah no problem....anything if it helps us get out of this Godforsaken place"

They both went into the Widows Den, Mookie began searching and Jimbuna kept lookout through the smallest of openings in the door towards the courtyard.

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, Tarrasque can sleep and I will make way to the castle. I would care to see what transpired last night...if anything at all.

*collects weapons. Smooth hair back. Begins walk towards the castle.*

[AVGWarhawk]

*enters courtyard and has seen Jimbuna by the Widow Den. Address's Jimbuna*

"You there....what is going on? What has transpired last night?"

*brandishes weapon*

[mookiemookie]

*Mookie counts off the stones...*

"...eleven....twelve....thirteen...."

He moves aside the stone and underneath lies a glittering gold charm necklace in the shape of an ancient rune.

Mookie's head spins.

"So it was real..."

[AVGWarhawk]

*enters courtyard and has seen Jimbuna by the Widow Den. Address's Jimbuna*

"You there....what is going on? What has transpired last night?"

*brandishes weapon*


"Not a talker are you? You look like the type that would collect diecast metal aircraft. Oh nevermind....JUST WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!

*brandishes weapon again*

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna sees a short-legged German approaching from across the courtyard...he spins round and says "Quick Mookie, out the back window".

In what seems a flash the pair of them leap through the back window and are back in the bunkhouse in what seems like only a few seconds.

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, that is a manuever that would indicate someone is up to no good.

*pulls the trigger of the weapon spewing bullets at the Widows Den*

"Yah, you keep on running then. If I don't get you I'm sure the werewolf will in due time."

*moves off to the dungeon to see the American Tak*

[AVGWarhawk]

*arrives to the dungeon and sees Tak*

"Amerikaner, wake up. Time to talk!"

*runs the barrel of his weapon across the bars*

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda sits on the cell floor, staring pasively at the blustering German.

"Whaddya want, you good-for-nothing Kraut. You gonna shoot me now? A week ago, I might have cared, but in this hell, it doesn't matter anymore. Leave me to rot, shoot me, I don't care, but I ain't no goddamn monster!"

[AVGWarhawk]

Takeda sits on the cell floor, staring pasively at the blustering German.

"Whaddya want, you good-for-nothing Kraut. You gonna shoot me now? A week ago, I might have cared, but in this hell, it doesn't matter anymore. Leave me to rot, shoot me, I don't care, but I ain't no goddamn monster!"

"I'm not here to shoot you. I'm here to talk. You seem to remain calm and unscathed through it all. I would like to know how you accomplished this thus far. Would you like to share with the rest of us so we may enjoy the same protected calm you have so much enjoyed?"

*stands waiting*

"Also, do you have any of those famous American Pall Mall cigarettes we hear about? I'm not smoker but recent events....you understand..."

[Pioneer]

The step out of the hole behind the painting felt even more woozy with wobbly legs. The attempt to stay awake had failed, and no sooner had heavy eyes overtaken him, then the blood curling howl started. He looked down at the remains.

"I would not have thought that the man I served alongside would attempt to take my life. This beast is not the man I served with, but some force that has taken control of him."

Pioneer pulled a drape down and threw it across the body. He looked at his own hands, they were white. He examined the backs and then patted himself down - no injuries, not a one. This was more disturbing than the corpse before him. he turned and looked at the painting of Tiresais.

"Thank you" he spoke to the painting while saluting. "Someone was looking over me last night."

The morning light began to shine, and in the ward, he could hear the others moving, before fear returned.

"With no witnesses, who's going to believe that I didn't kill him."

[Takeda Shingen]

"I'm not here to shoot you. I'm here to talk. You seem to remain calm and unscathed through it all. I would like to know how you accomplished this thus far. Would you like to share with the rest of us so we may enjoy the same protected calm you have so much enjoyed?"

*stands waiting*

"Also, do you have any of those famous American Pall Mall cigarettes we hear about? I'm not smoker but recent events....you understand..."

Takeda lept up with great agitation

"Calm? Calm?!?!?! I've been freaking out every night. Those damn Brits have been screaming at me the entire time to calm the hell down. And you say that I am all cool and collected. If you ask me, you're the one that seems all cool. Standing there with your gun while your friends are dying. Are they dying at your hands? Are you one of those things? What did you do to get such a curse? Sell your soul? Do you have children? Did you sell their little souls too? Or are we all just lunch for you, beast? Is that it? Is this a buffet?"

Takeda slunk to the floor, unwilling to continue his tirade.

"Then go ahead. Eat me. Get it over with. That's why I'm in here, isn't it? That's what you want, right? You damn backwards Krauts. Figures you'd all be monsters."

[AVGWarhawk]

Takeda lept up with great agitation

"I have not heard the Brits yelling at you. All I know is Rear shoved you in here because you have been 'safe' all this time. Of course I'm calm, cool and collected. I'm holding a weapon. You are at the business end of it. As far as my friends dying around me, it was and still is every man for themselves. Most hiding and other wondering off. I was put on the wall to guard. They wanted me on that wall. They needed me on that wall. They were running scared. From what I don't know. I was on the wall. Sell my soul? Do I have children? I'm as wet behind my ears as I am in my shorts with fear. I'm a kid in a mans army. The command knew that thus the gardening detail. Would a beast surround himself with the heaviest of weapons and dig in the beach head just to survive the night? That does not seem logical"

*steps back to think*

After your diatribe I'm inclinded to believe you are hiding something. Talk of me eating you and collapsing on the floor. Quite the showman sir. Eat you? Why not shoot you instead? Come come and get a hold of yourself.

*takes a moment*

Well if you would like to know, I have allied with Tarrasque. One of your men. Apparently he understands the situation and there is safety in numbers. The beast attacks the singletons. The other Germans did not think safety in numbers and look what has become of them. Entrails pulled they measured 14 feet I would imagine. I came to offer assistance and possibly becoming an ally with Tarrasgue and I.

"An ally with you? Ha. And what of your other ally, Ducimus? Where is he in all of this? Why do no never question him? Is it because he is like you? He it because he enjoys your 'tastes'? No, I will not be blackmailed into compliance. If we do away with anyone, it must be Ducimus, and I think you, his accomplice, should be next. Watch yourself, German......or whatever you are. I'm on to you."

Takeda turned away from AVG, facing the wall.

((((Lynch vote for Ducimus))))

[AVGWarhawk]

"An ally with you? Ha. And what of your other ally, Ducimus? Where is he in all of this? Why do no never question him? Is it because he is like you? He it because he enjoys your 'tastes'?

Takeda turned away from AVG, facing the wall.

((((Lynch vote for Ducimus))))


"Ducimus? If I can find him I will ask questions. I was after Nisgeis to ask questions. He had his head dismembered from his body. As I stated, it is every man for themselves. Once again, I'm the lowly gardener. I know nothing but potatoes, carrots and peas. My other German 'commrades' knew something was diabolically wrong with this island hence the hiding and scattering. For me, I'm left to fester on the tower. I looked to have been sauce for the goose Mr Tak. Once the men abandoned all hope and scattered I took my own hide into my own hands. I armed myself. I looked for assistance because there is safety in numbers."

*takes a breath and shakes head*

"Well sir, that is my offer. I see you survived another night and I would guess the dungeon helped you there or you are not who you claim you are. So, either die of starvation in this hole in the wall, by the hands of your own men by a lynching or the beast. Either way...game over man, game over. The choice is yours."

Another deserter just like Rear...hiding. LYNCH DUCIMUS!

[mookiemookie]

Mookie clutches the talisman in his hands and looks upon it as his last hope. Indeed it may be.

"I hope that crazy old bugger is right.

I haven't seen that Ducimus fellow knockin' about either. I figure he's got to be behind some of these murders. Someone should take out that Ducimus."

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna sits on the edge of his bunk trying to make sense of all that has happened thus far but none of it did. What he was sure of was the fact that there was still a beast out there somewhere, possibly two.

He touched the profile of the talisman in his tunic lapel and wondered why the beast had hesitated.....'none of this is making sense' he thought.

'Day will end soon' he thought to himself...'and it will be time to vote'!!

[AVGWarhawk]

*Warhawk makes way to kitchen for provision and continues on to the beach for another night in the trenches......*

[Tarrasque]

*Awakens from a very very long sleep and looks up at the sky.*

"Have I been asleep for this long?"

*Spots AVGWarhawk coming towards him.*

"Ahoy there. Any news?"

[mookiemookie]

Mookie continues to caress the talisman

"You may be of use elsewhere...."


((I MAY be giving this to another player. I have PMed the Narrator about it))

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna comes to a decision....

I vote for Ducimus to be lynched....my head is much better now

[Tarrasque]

*Discusses with AVGWarhawk the likely candidates left to be a flesh-eating hairy blood-thirsty monster.*

"I guess I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. Ducimus must go. That's if he's not already slain in some alcove somewhere."

[AVGWarhawk]

*Awakens from a very very long sleep and looks up at the sky.*

"Have I been asleep for this long?"

*Spots AVGWarhawk coming towards him.*

"Ahoy there. Any news?"
"Good afternoon. First order of business....you look well rested. First watch for you. Sound good? Here are some provisions. Enjoy. As far as news....another has been killed by the beast. Another loaner. See, safety in numbers. I attempted to get your shipmate Tak to ally with us. He seems to be the golden child. Survives many nights...alone! I was hoping that would work to our advantage. He thinks me a wolf. Perhaps you can persuade him tomorrow. Shipmates and all, might trust you more."

*lays down for sleep*

"Enjoy tonight lynching"

"Well, let's get this over with," said Mookie. He handed a cigarette to Ducimus. "You have anything to say?"

"Just make it quick," said the Oberfeldwebel.

"Very well." Mookie turned and joined AVGWarhawk and August on the firing line. He handed a carbine to the Takeda. "May as well get used to this, Yank. The way it's going, you may need the practice."

The journalist held the heavy weapon uncertainly. "Yeah, 'spose you're right, Mack."

He took aim, then relinquished the rifle as August worked the bolt for him. "Works better when there's a round in the chamber, Schmierer," he grinned.

"Guys..." AVGWarhawk said, with a touch of nerves. Ducimus struggled and writhed against the straps that held him to the post. His face contorted, his flesh blackened like fetid leather, and horrible black bristles grew with hideous speed across his cheeks and brow. His chest swelled and the straps strained.

Together, they raised their weapons and at Mookie's command, fired.




Night begins!

*Switching the mic on*

PLOP, Crrrr, Hisssss, IIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (feedback tone), a brief moment of silence and....

*The Enigma takes a deep breath which is picked up by the mic and thus heard through the speakers*


"To all remaining survivors of this doomed island:

I'm inviting all of you to meet me at the Great Hall.
There's an important view on the current situation to be revealed by me.
It's a matter of life and death, so be there at 22.00 hours (GMT+1)!
Please release any prisoner from the dungeon, so he can attend this meeting as well."


*Click and silence, the amplified words are echoing away*

[The Enigma]

*After the announcement, Enigma rushes to the widows den*
Pioneer, where are you, please don't hide.
I've some important questions for you.

*waits for a reaction*

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna hears the message from the tannoy 'an important view' eh?

[mookiemookie]

Mookie regards the latest message with a wary eye and fiddles with the chain around his neck....

"Important view....there's only one view. Wolves. Kill them before they kill you. End of briefing."

[Takeda Shingen]

Takeda, exhausted from his ordeal, none-the-less made his way to the Great Hall. He would listen to what Enigma had to say, not that it would make any difference. He knew what must be done, and he knew how he was going to go about it.......

[AVGWarhawk]

"Well, let's get this over with," said Mookie. He handed a cigarette to Ducimus. "You have anything to say?"

"Just make it quick," said the Oberfeldwebel.

"Very well." Mookie turned and joined AVGWarhawk and August on the firing line. He handed a carbine to the Takeda. "May as well get used to this, Yank. The way it's going, you may need the practice."

Night begins!

.


"Mein Gott! Is there no rest for the weary? Trying to sleep and I have to conduct a firing squad exercise with real bullets and suspect!"

*lifts rifle to take aim. See Ducimus transforming*

"Gott verdammt! From what bowels of the devil did this abomination spawn!"

*Fires at Mookies command*

[AVGWarhawk]

*Switching the mic on*

PLOP, Crrrr, Hisssss, IIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (feedback tone), a brief moment of silence and....

*The Enigma takes a deep breath which is picked up by the mic and thus heard through the speakers*


"To all remaining survivors of this doomed island:

*Click and silence, the amplified words are echoing away*


"Really? No sleep for nights on end. Attempt to sleep tonight only to be recruited for a firing squad detail (well, I did pin the lynching on Ducimus so I can understand being present). Now Enigma with the damn public address system! I guess he fails to remember what happened to Rear when the microphone became a tool for karaoke night."

*stands thinking to self*

There are nothing but dead Germans and Tommy all over the island. No one can be trusted! Now Enigma wants all to meet at the Great Hall. I guess I will make way to the Great Hall. At the rate all are dropping like flies pehaps it is time we all really attempt to work together.

*makes way to the Great Hall*

[Tarrasque]

*Follows AVGWarhawk to the great hall.*

"Damn germans. Still trying to order everyone around even as the island collapses around their ears."

[Pioneer]

A blistering sound stirs him and he looks out, it is dark.

"Did I fall asleep?" he ponders.

He looks at his hands and sees the blood on it, it is everywhere. On his clothes, in his hands, on the painting on the floor.

The painting is one the floor?

Slowly the vision returns, while looking in the hole in the wall behind the painting, the painting has fallen, knocking him out and leaving him to bleed. He has no idea how long he has been out, but he is drawn to exit the Widow's Den and proceed to the Great Hall.

He is still alive, barely.

[The Enigma]

*Enigma sees Pioneer confused going towards the Great Hall. Obviously, Pioneer hasn't seen or heard The Enigma calling him.
Runs after Pioneer*

Hey Pioneer, please wait, I desperately need to talk to you!

[Pioneer]

"Right here, although a little worst for wear. Still, it could be worst. I could have been the midnight snack for the animal running around."

[The Enigma]

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to talk to you.

We all have been able to read your discoveries and latest encounter.
I salute you for your brave attitude. :salute:

However, you have left some confusion on what exactly has happened there at the den.
Care to help me understanding the situation?

[Pioneer]

"My recollection is a little vague, it would seem that last night I knocked myself out, rather clumsy I might add. Good thing I wasn't eaten, like I might have the night before."

"I don't know what time it was, it was late, and I was behind a painting. I had found several painting all with the castle in the background and all with men of stature standing over a hairy beast, almost as though the painting was a victory sign. Each of the paintings had a brass plaque which looked like a headstone, complete with dates. All except one."

"That painting was of a lighthouse keeper and his painting was a little different, he had a noose around the creatures neck. I was looking closely when this beast, a large hairy dog - but it stood upright, arrived. it was snarling and frothing at the mouth as though it was overcome with some evil force. It slowly approached me, as I were behind the painting. There was no where for me to go, the hole did not lead anywhere, and the beast was between the door and I."

"I thought I was going to die, and closed my eyes in fear to pray as I lay to meet my maker."

"While closed I heard the snarling get closer, and then there was a commotion, like a fight was going on. The room got vividly bright, as if some divine force had suddenly illuminated to room. It was too bright to see clearly, I shielded my eyes, but saw two figures locked in combat in the room. The first was the beast, it was losing - the second, :::sigh::: my savior, I did not recognize. The fight was short lived, and the light was suddenly gone, as if my savior had been an Angel that had completed it's work of guarding me, and had returned from whence it came from."

"I ventured out and found the body of Sailor Taskforce where the beast had fallen. It was like the beast had died, and had taken his soul, and now that the beast was dead, the evil spirit slowly left, and all that remained was the mortal body. The beast had overtaken my friend, and in death, he had been saved by some unknown force. Just as the guardian had saved mortal I."

[mookiemookie]

Mookie sits in the courtyard grumbling at the situation...

“I was woken around 3 a.m. by something outside. I thought it might have been someone trying to break in. It was a chicken. At two in the morning! What is a chicken doing awake at this hour?”

[The Enigma]

@Pioneer,

That's quit a story.
To get it all right into my head.
Let's recollect:
A force protected you, and that force killed a beast (being TaskForce)
Right?

[mookiemookie]

Mookie continues his grumbling...

"And how do these werewolves do that anyways? Say if me werewolf mate brought over dinner and it was just a foot and they sort of said, 'Have a bit.' I'd almost be a bit like, 'I want to know a bit about the person first...' I'd want an organic foot. I'd want to know the history of it. Did he have athlete's foot? How often did he change his socks? Just a little bit of something that goes, 'Yeah, this is a nice foot, it's worth eating.'

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna stood in the Great Hall not far from ..........and thought 'Day will be upon us any minute now'.

[Pioneer]

@ The Enigma

"You got it right. Does it mean anything to you?"

[The Enigma]

I'm not sure.
As far as I know (yet), there is no human who can fight a werewolf.
Humans, until now, can only kill a werewolf when its presenting it self as a human,
like we are doing when we Lynch someone.

I think that you being behind that painting at the moment of the attack, has something to do with it.

Could it be that the painting has somehow protected you or is my imagination playing games with me?

[AVGWarhawk]

Mookie continues his grumbling...

"And how do these werewolves do that anyways? Say if me werewolf mate brought over dinner and it was just a foot and they sort of said, 'Have a bit.' I'd almost be a bit like, 'I want to know a bit about the person first...' I'd want an organic foot. I'd want to know the history of it. Did he have athlete's foot? How often did he change his socks?

*Avgwarhawk tosses lunch at the very thought of toe-cheese*:dead:

[The Enigma]

Many thanks, Pioneer.
Please come to the meeting tonight.
It's for all of us very important.

*walks away while shaking his head and looking worried*

[Takeda Shingen]

As the sun begins to rise, Tak wonders if this Enigma guy will ever speak his business........

[AVGWarhawk]

As the sun begins to rise, Tak wonders if this Enigma guy will ever speak his business........


"He is assembling coffee, tea and donuts for the meeting. I hear there will be free hand outs."

:DL

[Tarrasque]

"That or he's gathering us all into one place to be slaughtered."

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna stands there overlooking his peer group and overhearing one or two hushed conversations and looks at the sun rising.

[Onkel Neal]

During the night, each of the survivors found opportunities to scout the castle, examine the grounds, raid the larder, and reflect on recent events. As the dawn broke, each man, whether German, British, or American was filled with a sense of new-found optimism. To breathe! To survive! To exist!

They all collected in the Great Hall. Jimbuna was gnawing on a potted meat sandwich with freshly bread baked by Takeda.

"Looking death in the face ain't so bad when there's fresh rye and beer to go with it," said Jim.

Mookie laughed. "To think, a week ago we were on approach and my biggest worry was the trim pump for the number 4 ballast tank."

AVG Warhawk entered, followed by Enigma and Tarrasque.

"Did we make it through the night without casualty?" asked Tarrasque. He counted off. "We seem to be two men short, one of ours and one of yours."

Jim paused mid-chew. They rose and went out the door... black vultures were already gathering, marking the scene of misfortune. The band rushed through the Inner Ward. At the entrance to the Widow's Den lay two corpses, Pioneer and August. In the German soldier's hand was a Luger, in the American's, a silver pocket watch.

Enigma bent over and checked the Luger. "Empty, all shots expended."

"Blimey," said Mookie, "I hoped we had shot the last of them last night when we pulled the plug on Ducimus."

"God love us, can't we be left in peace?" asked Takeda.

AVGWarhawk stared at the remains grimly. "God does not exist on this island. Only the devil."

Day begins


.

[Tarrasque]

"No, goddammit!!"

*Turns to Takeda*

"You! When you were secured, the killings slowed. Now you're out again they've increased. You must be one of them!"

*Turns to the others*

"We have to kill it now. Before it gets a chance to kill any one else"

*Aims his rifle at the American with his finger poised over the trigger*

((Lynch vote for Takeda. In case you couldn't guess!!))

[Takeda Shingen]

"No, goddammit!!"

*Turns to Takeda*

"You! When you were secured, the killings slowed. Now you're out again they've increased. You must be one of them!"

*Turns to the others*

"We have to kill it now. Before it gets a chance to kill any one else"

*Aims his rifle at the American with his finger poised over the trigger*

((Lynch vote for Takeda. In case you couldn't guess!!))

Tak calmly stares down the barrel of the gun.

"In case you haven't noticed, it was I that said Ducimus was a beast. He was. And today, I tell you something else: AVGWarhawk is one as well. Lynch me if you like, it doesn't matter to me anymore, but it will not stop the killings."

(Lynch vote for AVGWarhawk)

[mookiemookie]

"No, goddammit!!"

*Turns to Takeda*

"You! When you were secured, the killings slowed. Now you're out again they've increased. You must be one of them!"

*Turns to the others*

"We have to kill it now. Before it gets a chance to kill any one else"

*Aims his rifle at the American with his finger poised over the trigger*

((Lynch vote for Takeda. In case you couldn't guess!!))

*Mookie shouts at Tarrasque* Stand down, chief! That is a direct order from a superior officer. You will unload that weapon and place it on the ground. Now." There was an icy tone in his voice. "Men, seize Mr. AVGWarhawk, and Mr. Tarrasque as well if he refuses to relinquish his weapon."

[AVGWarhawk]

"Not a good idea Mookie. Who is to say you are not a werewolf? A werewolf with weapons. Not quite balanced is it? I will keep my weapon."

*brandishes weapon*

'Keep back please. I trust no one but Tarrasque. We worked together in the trenches. We survived two nights as as team."

[Takeda Shingen]

"Not a good idea Mookie. Who is to say you are not a werewolf? A werewolf with weapons. Not quite balanced is it? I will keep my weapon."

*brandishes weapon*

'Keep back please. I trust no one but Tarrasque. We worked together in the trenches. We survived two nights as as team."

Tak's eyes went back and forth, from AVG to Tarrasque.

"How odd." He said in an unimpassioned voice. "How very odd."

[AVGWarhawk]

Tak's eyes went back and forth, from AVG to Tarrasque.

"How odd." He said in an unimpassioned voice. "How very odd."

"Not as odd as you Takeda. You seem to run a charmed life sir. Care to explain? Nothing phases you and you carry one as if this is nothing to worry about."

*moves the business end of the weapon toward Tak*

"Do you wish to explain yourself?"

[Tarrasque]

"Explain then monster why the killings stopped that night you were behind bars?"

"Did the beast suddenly decide to hunt rabbits? Did it decide to pray instead? No! It didn't kill because you were restrained. You couldn't slake your blood-lust. You couldn't kill one of us!."

"And as for you 'Sir'. Superior officer? Don't make me laugh! You've had your chance to lead. You've had your chance to forge us into a team against the monsters. You failed. Worst, you didn't even try. You just ran off with your tail between your legs to do your own little thing and just left the rest of us here to die."

"And as for 'men? Who the hell do you think you are talking to? They're all dead! All that's left on this godforsaken rock from the Terrific is the three of us and that monster over there. Well I tell you now Mookiemookie, there's no damn way I'm going to let your stupidity endanger us all. Jim, are you with us? AVG and I survived two nights alone. If he was the beast, he'd have killed me whilst I slept in the trenches. He didn't. In fact, doesn't it seem at all suspicious that the one person that we know has to be a monster is suddenly being defended by Mookiemookie. Why? Unless he is one of 'them' himself!"

[AVGWarhawk]

"Yes Takeda, something does smell rotten in Washington."

[Jimbuna]

Jimbuna stepped forward and with a deft stroke of his hand knocked the rifle into the air forcing Tarrasque off balance.

"Enough of this ridicolous in-fighting...the lot of you".

"There will be a rckoning this evening, of that you can be certain".

He looked around and fixed his gaze on the short-legged German AVG Warhawk and smiled at him in a sneering fashion...he could see the effect this was having on Warhawk as he looked increasingly ill at ease 'or is he simply about to pass wind'?

EDIT: Damn...must learn to type faster!!

[mookiemookie]

Quite odd that you've thrown your lot in with a German private, chief. Damned odd indeed. Some may say treasonous. Or maybe it's the case that these beasts hunt in packs.... *Mookie shot an accusatory glance towards AVG and Tarrasque*

[AVGWarhawk]

Jimbuna stepped forward and with a deft stroke of his hand knocked the rifle into the air forcing Tarrasque off balance.

"Enough of this ridicolous in-fighting...the lot of you".

"There will be a rckoning this evening, of that you can be certain".

"So, Mr. Buna gets a backbone does he? Mr. Buna has spent the better part of his stay knocked out, strapped down or investgating buildings. The theatrics are not necessary Mr. Buna. We are well aware that your history since your arrival would preclude you as a werewolf. That raises another question, why do you live such a charmed life on this island?"

[mookiemookie]

"So, Mr. Buna gets a backbone does he? Mr. Buna has spent the better part of his stay knocked out, strapped down or investgating buildings. The theatrics are not necessary Mr. Buna. We are well aware that your history since your arrival would preclude you as a werewolf. That raises another question, why do you live such a charmed life on this island?"

Mookie hissed, "Getting frustrated because you can't feast on him, eh, wolf?"

[Takeda Shingen]

"So, Mr. Buna gets a backbone does he? Mr. Buna has spent the better part of his stay knocked out, strapped down or investgating buildings. The theatrics are not necessary Mr. Buna. We are well aware that your history since your arrival would preclude you as a werewolf. That raises another question, why do you live such a charmed life on this island?"

"There's that word again.........charmed."

Tak's eyes glanced toward the trinket carried by mookie.

"You don't like things that are charmed, do you? No, you fear them....."

[Tarrasque]

"Treasonous? Show me where it states in the queen regulations that it's treasonous to survive? Show me where it states that you have to be torn to shreads just to 'obey orders'?

"We could have survived this if you officers had shown an ounce of leadership. If you had actually paid attention to events. But no! You chose to focus on the war out there. Who cares about the Hood, or the Oak? What matters is we were being slaughtered like animals. And all the time your sole goal, your sole focus was 'We must oppose the Germans'

"Well I said enough! Whatever uniform AVG wears, he's human. Which is more than that Yank. And I suspect more than can be said about you!"

[AVGWarhawk]

Mookie hissed, "Getting frustrated because you can't feast on him, eh, wolf?"


"No sir! These men with exception of Tarrasque do not listen to reason. Not to mention we have not showered in days. And what of you Mookie? You seem to live a charmed life as well. In fact, Takeda, Buna and Mookie seem to be hiding something? Would it be the three of you are in cahoots? I smell the werewolf league standing here before me."

[mookiemookie]

I smell the werewolf league standing here before me."

That smell of werewolf is coming from your upper lip! We know well what you are, beast!

[Takeda Shingen]

"No sir! These men with exception of Tarrasque do not listen to reason. Not to mention we have not showered in days. And what of you Mookie? You seem to live a charmed life as well. In fact, Takeda, Buna and Mookie seem to be hiding something? Would it be the three of you are in cahoots? I smell the werewolf league standing here before me."

"Three beasts carrying out two murders? Your math seems off? Did you loose your sense of logic when you sold your soul? No, it seems that you are trying desperately to deflect the truth of the matter. And why are you" he looked at Tarrasque "so militant in the defense of this abomination? Methinks the two of you doth prostest too much."

[AVGWarhawk]

"Three beasts carrying out two murders? Your math seems off? Did you loose your sense of logic when you sold your soul? No, it seems that you are trying desperately to deflect the truth of the matter. And why are you" he looked at Tarrasque "so militant in the defense of this abomination? Methinks the two of you doth prostest too much."

"Perhap you are right in stating we protest too much. However, you three are feeding off each other creating a false sense of proving guilt beyond a doubt. Were is your proof sir? Killing innocent men is on the menu today?"

[Takeda Shingen]

"Perhap you are right in stating we protest too much. However, you three are feeding off each other creating a false sense of proving guilt beyond a doubt. Were is your proof sir? Killing innocent men is on the menu today?"

"You already saw to it that it was."

Tak's eyes narrowed.

[Jimbuna]

"So, Mr. Buna gets a backbone does he? Mr. Buna has spent the better part of his stay knocked out, strapped down or investgating buildings. The theatrics are not necessary Mr. Buna. We are well aware that your history since your arrival would preclude you as a werewolf. That raises another question, why do you live such a charmed life on this island?"

"If you haven't been able to work that out by now I fear it is already too late for you but answer me this....when you discharged your rifle at me the other day, why is it you missed with so many rounds expended"?

"Was it he 'hair' trigger that put your aim off or simply a bristle that got into your aiming eye".

"I know you will not heed my words of today but I will repeat them tomorrow....such a pity you won't be around to hear them...and you can take that to the bank".

VOTE: AVG for lynching!

[AVGWarhawk]

"And another thing...where is Enigma? The man calls a meeting. We all gather. Engima knows the accusations will fly. Before we know it all are at each others throats! It is human nature to join the group and agreeing to anything. Even to killing out of poor reasoning. I think your attention is best used on Enigma."

[Tarrasque]

"Aye. Where is Enigma?"

"Oh and Takeda? I'm dogmatic in defending him, the same way I'd be dogmatic in defending any human about to be lynched when there are monsters out there."

[AVGWarhawk]

"If you haven't been able to work that out by now I fear it is already too late for you but answer me this....when you discharged your rifle at me the other day, why is it you missed with so many rounds expended"?

"I know you will not heed my words of today but I will repeat them tomorrow....such a pity you won't be around to hear them...and you can take that to the bank".

VOTE: AVG for lynching!

"Last I recall, you had a nasty head wound. It looks to have clouded your judgment. I suggest a rest".

[mookiemookie]

"And another thing...where is Enigma? The man calls a meeting. We all gather. Engima knows the accusations will fly. Before we know it all are at each others throats! It is human nature to join the group and agreeing to anything. Even to killing out of poor reasoning. I think your attention is best used on Enigma."

Deflection and obfuscation will be of no use to you today. jimbuna, Takeda and I have declared an alliance and the lines are drawn it seems, and AVG your reign of terror will end today.

[AVGWarhawk]

Deflection and obfuscation will be of no use to you today. jimbuna, Takeda and I have declared an alliance and the lines are drawn it seems, and AVG your reign of terror will end today.


"So you would think Mookie. An what of Enigma? Is this just a man?"

[Takeda Shingen]

"Aye. Where is Enigma?"

"Oh and Takeda? I'm dogmatic in defending him, the same way I'd be dogmatic in defending any human about to be lynched when there are monsters out there."

"Then I content myself to say nothing and have you be incriminated by your own words. They will come back to haunt you."

[Takeda Shingen]

"So you would think Mookie. An what of Enigma? Is this just a man?"

"Enigma is not the issue right now. You are."

[Jimbuna]

"Last I recall, you had a nasty head wound. It looks to have clouded your judgment. I suggest a rest".

"My head is much better now....hows your teeth and fingernails"?

[AVGWarhawk]

"Enigma is not the issue right now. You are."


"My dear Takeda, I think I would make Enigma my issue and post haste. I have nothing more to say except your own demise is written when any remaining me involved are ignored. Pick your poison."

[Tarrasque]

"My head is much better now....hows your teeth and fingernails"?

"Grow up PO. You stand with two wolves and mock the humans. Are you really that deceived, or did they promise you that you'd be spared...be one of them?"

[Takeda Shingen]

"My dear Takeda, I think I would make Enigma my issue and post haste. I have nothing more to say except your own demise is written when any remaining me involved are ignored. Pick your poison."

"I have already selected. And it is not well for you. What were your words? Ah yes. Game over. That was it right? Game over...."

[Jimbuna]

"Grow up PO. You stand with two wolves and mock the humans. Are you really that deceived, or did they promise you that you'd be spared...be one of them?"

"Whether I have made the right choice or not will become apparent soon enough but I am satisfied I made that choice of my own free will.

It would appear you have done likewise so we shall soon see who came to the correct decision".

[AVGWarhawk]

"My head is much better now....hows your teeth and fingernails"?


"Quite unkempt. Been days for a bath. Your ripe old self is not much better sir."

[Jimbuna]

"Quite unkempt. Been days for a bath. Your ripe old self is not much better sir."

"Now that was a Howler"

[AVGWarhawk]

"Well we can see this is getting us nowhere. It would seem that Engima has worked a plan to incriminate everyone but himself. He gathers everyone and allows the accusation begin. I would venture to guess he sits idly by laughing. I told you to talk with him. The man is not what he seems. Think about it...reason it out! Why would a meeting be called and the person requesting the meeting not show? You all must reason it out? You need to question Enigma."
