**Thor665**

The howls of the Companies echoed through the air as they gathered. Before them stood the progenitor, their alpha, their primarch. His hair was of molten copper, and his eyes flashed with the sharp blue cold of Fenris ice. They howled to greet him, they howled to honor him, they howled because they knew that soon, soon, he would unleash them upon the hunt once more.

“The Thousand Sons are weak, corrupted by their fell magicks,” snarled Leman Russ as he looked across his assembled host. “Yet, be forewarned that even the most cowardly of beasts becomes dangerous once it is cornered.” He spoke the words slowly and gravely and even the youngest and most eager of the Blood Claws quieted at his tone. But then a feral glint lit his eyes as he grinned wolfishly. “Let us see if we can remind my brother and his men that they’re Space Marines and should die with honor!”

The roar of the cheering Legions was deafening and the howls echoed across the empty plazas and reached a crescendo as they arced upwards into the golden spires of Prospero.

The sons of Magnus knew, they knew the Wolves were coming.

…and they were ready for them.

====================================================================================================================================
Day 1 has officially begun

Deadline Countdown

With 13 currently alive you need 7 to lynch.

There is NO deadline lynch, so agreement must be reached if you want a lynch.

Have fun!

**VikingScott**

I will not make a mess of the random voting stage like the last game.

**Paul Atreides**

I will not make myself look as suspicious as I did the last game.

Once more into the fray, Yay!

**Dastardly Dave**

Well, at least I'll have a chance to play this game right through to the end this time.

Also, shouldn't you change your location now that you are no longer in an 'Imperial Shrine full of Cultists'?

@Scott: Isn't the RVS normally a mess? I thought that was kind of the point.

**Paul Atreides**

You are right of course. Thanks, I probably wouldn't have remembered that until dayphase two.

**TherVadam**

Paul, you teleport locations so quickly? Clearly you are a powerful psyker, maybe a preferred vessel of Tzeentch?!?!

Vote: Paul Atreides

**Paul Atreides**

OH U. It's called trans time-stream reincarnation. I died, and was reborn 10000 years earlier, by pure random chance.

**TherVadam**

Or maybe it is the time-warping (pun? No? okay, i'm sorry) powers of the WARP!!

**Fifty**

Grrrr... There can be only ONE Lord of Battles, and that is RUSS!.

Vote: Lord of Battles

**Gathering Storm**

I'll try to root out the heretics amongst our ranks.

**the_ferrett**

*Headdesks so hard that the desk snaps in half*

**Orkeosaurus**

A huge, hairy man walks in. He is covered from head to toe in wolf pelts, runes, wolf skulls, axes, wolf fangs, more runes, wolf ears, and beer.

"Alright you wet-behind-the-ears cublings!" he said, in a loud, manly, hairy voice. "My name is Olgaf Wolfaleruneaxefang. I'm here with the 38th Wolf Company. We specialize in artic warfare and hunting small enemies in wooded terrain."

Olgaf takes a long smoke from his pipe. "What we're dealing with here is a pack of mangy, flea-bitten, unwolflike dogs! We need to be on the look out... lest one of them tries to dig their way into our den of... uh... people that we can trust with the battle plans and stuff."

**Lord of battles**

'Yes Fifty their is only one true Lord of Battles -Leman of the Russ, But their is also avatars of his will enacted.' Says Alric Crowslayer, a giant of a man in grey armor covered in wolf pelts, brandishing his hammer menicingly.
'And your blatent act of accusing one of the Primarchs trusted vassals could be nought but a Tzeenchian ploy to undermine the Allfathers war effort!'
Vote: Fifty

**SagesStone**

Orkeosaurus, Lord of Battles. Both of you are dressed far too fabulously to be real men

Real wolves don't care enough to go into such detail about their outer appearence. True valour is not determined by fancy coats.

**Arctik_Firangi**

"Calm yourselves, brothers," growls a bald and beardless man in power armour.
"The pride of our enemy will be his downfall. His pride in the face of those he deigns to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with -" he spits, "will expose the true colour of his blood. It will be red, as it should be, but it is not the blood of mankind."

He raises his gauntletted fist and points at Gathering Storm.

"I accuse you, foremost. To think that you alone are capable of rooting out a traitor amongst men suggests that you know more than you are worth."

**TherVadam**

Ah but you are the so-called wizard. Perhaps you are the heretic.

Unvote: Paul Atreides
Vote: Arctik_Firangi

**Arctik_Firangi**

"Your hastiness to change your mind is suspicious, but I dismiss you as a fool at this time. You (Thervadam) and Wolfaleruneaxefang (Orkeo) are behaving very oddly for wolf-brothers. What more do you claim to know of threats from within?"

**VikingScott**

12 player right?
And this is the RVS.
Look at Thor's player list.
The top person is 1.
The bottom is 12.
I have a D12. (Of course I will re-roll mysellf

)

6. Paul.

'So quick to accuse one of your own Brother Firangi, or are you Brother Wolf at all? A wolf who claims to be a wizard must be an accursed sorcerer of the Thousand Sons'

'I deem you the traitor amongst our ranks Arctik_Firangi'

Vote: Arctik_Firangi

**Dastardly Dave**

@not_u: are you saying that our blessed pelts of the wolfwolf are unnescassary? They define us as marked for greatness and cold weather!

Vote:Not_u

**Lord of battles**

'Yes I see it to, only a librarian sorcerer of the traitorous Thousand Sons would use such a term! You must be a son of the sorcerer Magnus!

Bandwagoner!

Unvote: Arctik_Firangi
Vote: Lord of battles

**Arctik_Firangi**

"From where comes this wild accusation of my being a 'wizard', anyway? I am glad to see that those I accuse have banded together against me, and no one else.
I do not willingly give up my life, but if it will expose those who have jumped to my throat as the traitors they are, then it is a small price to pay for the Emperor and High-King of Fenris.

'Wolfaleruneaxefang' is an utterly foolish name, clearly fabricated by a servant of Magnus who thinks that he understands the culture of the wolf-kin. Your infiltration attempt has failed, but I welcome your challenge, fool."

OOC:
I suspect only Gathering Storm and Orkeo at this time. I think that Orkeo has shot himself in the foot badly enough already, so I stay with my vote to lynch Gathering Storm.

**TherVadam**

*Hem, hem* Arctik, your title.

**Arctik_Firangi**

I'm aware of where they got it from. I'll continue to vote based on plausible evidence rather than circumstantial nonsense. Gathering Storm acted like a loner from the start, suggesting he has a personal agenda. Orkeo, in addition to jumping to lynch me when his companion was threatened, has also based his vote on irrelevant narrative.

**Fifty**

*guffaws*

But you were voting for Gathering Storm, not Lord of Battles!

And my, there seems to be an awful lot of retaliatory voting going on!
