We have to vote every day? Seems very tiresome after a long day of harvesting the Hops of Glory.

But alas I will also lend my support to our previous Braumaster Edward (Plat IV)

His beer might not be the most delicious, but he toiled through the night and turned our harvest into ale. I give him my vote as well.

I approve of Edward's brewing. He gave us four this first night. Keep up the good work.

I'll also throw in my vote for Edward to keep his title as Brewmaster,

I'll go back to the fields to harvest more barley.

And I have to point out that we haven't heard from Brother Himmeldenker in quite some time...How can anyone of the Cloth not be here at this moment? A fellow villager has died!

-Back to the fields for hops
-Edward for brew master
-Lynch McMcalla. Sorry, I but my threat to out you through a display of pyrotechnics keeping you away from me doesn't make me believe your innocence.


I'll be harvesting hops for half the day, sleeping until sundown, and staying awake at night with my torch, ready to call you out. My suspicions have been laid bare to my associate. Should I be killed, he knows who to target and can reach out to others for aid, you murderous fur balls. I have my suspicions of the second wolf, but I won't announce them yet-he's doing a good job keeping eyes of himself...all but my eyes. But I know who you are...

I've been tallying my numbers, and there's a barley missing from last night. I just double checked my tallys and we had 6 hops declared and 5 of Barley. I was planning to Harvest hops myself, but as Braumeister, I'm too busy with the brewing to harvest. We have a Hop harvest left, meaning one of the barley gatherers from yesterday didn't do their job...

Interesting Edward...I went back to check through and McMcalla claimed to harvest barley...the ingredient you said was missing. He has also fought me tooth and nail (or should it be tooth and claw?) at every turn for a sure fire test, and denied the existence of such beasts. Now, I may not be perfect, but if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...I beg of you, for our town's sake, join in to lynch McMcalla. If I am wrong (and I know I am not), I will not request to lynch anyone further except myself for taking an innocent man's life. But if I am right (and I am), we will be one step closer to survival. Lets lay out the facts:

1) Brew Master Edward claimed barley was missing; McMcalla was a barley volunteer
2) he scoffed at werewolves and told us to go about our lives, that there was no beast-attempting to lull a false sense of security
3) he has adamantly resisted all silver based tests to determine health. Even a tiny prick on the finger or a scratch on the arm caused outcries, anger and disgust from him.

What more do you all need? Do you have to actually witness him feasting on your intestines to determine he is out to murder us all?

Be at peace, brothers. The death of Brother Dakka is a horrible event, but he was innocent and is now at the side of our Creator.

I have prepared his humble remains and laid them to rest in the blessed soil of our church.

I have also spent several hours praying for the downfall of the fell beast that lurks unseen. However, do we know whether Brother Dakka was slain by a beast or by an outlaw?

And as for the harvest, do outlaws harvest? I believe they profit by preventing the harvest.

---- Brother Himmeldenker

That is true, Brother: the wolves and the hunter all skip out on contributing. I hope my suggestions are enough to convince the town where to start. Based on our Brew Master's numbers, there should have been 11. We ended up with 9. He removes one himself. Which means one of a couple possibilities.

One: the werewolves skipped out on killing last night and harvested (odd, but okay), and the hunter struck and killed someone and his point doesn't count.
Two: There is only one werewolf and possibly a hunter, and only one killed
Three: Two werewolves and possibly a hunter, but only one was active last night (lull the villagers into a false sense of security thinking there is only one).

In Character!

Children! You had one job to do, and that was harvest your food. That means one of you is going around killing people, and that's bad, mkay. You're giving this village a bad name, you're scaring the bejeebus out of the younger kids and women folk, mkay? And I don't want to stay up reading the Farmer's Almanac to Mrs. Mackey to calm her down, mkay. If only there was a better way of producing endorphins, but I certainly don't know it, mkay.

So I'm harvesting hops today, and I invite anyone that wants to start a Post Traumatic Werewolf Stress Disorder Support Group to come and join me, mkay. And if you woke up this morning, you know, covered in the blood of the innocent, mkay, and you don't understand what's going on, come and talk to us, mkay. I'll be ready to listen and stuff.

Also, if you could post your whereabouts, or your wereabouts (hmm, hmm. That was funny, mkay! hmm hmm. mkay. hmm), that would be helpful!

I also vote for Braumaster Edward (Plat IV) to remain braumaster. Good job, mkay!

I appreciate the vote of confidence from my fellow villagers.

Also, I will change my harvesting to Hops, so that if I am re-elected the extra stored batch shall take my place.

For today's workload, I see we have the following:

For Hops:

Mr. Mackey
Mr. McMcalla
Mr. Bobbington
Mr. Fofistin
Myself(change)

For Barley:

Mr. Deschain
Mr. Fettius
Mr. Wastel(change)
Brother Himmeldenker
Mr. White

Please correct me if I have counted you incorrectly. Indeed I only count 9 of us there. It would be most appreciated if the missing member would step forward(preferably to harvest barley ).

Mkay Children. We call can't harvest hops, here. We're not making pumpkin brew, mkay?

I've approached some of our towns folk about it already.

I didn't see you in the chapel today Mr Wastel. The silver candlesticks were also gone from about the font. Methinks someone, without the town's backing to give him access to blessed weaponry, may have taken it upon himself to find some crude version himself? Unless this rumoured outlaw in our midst, scallion that he is, has taken them like the out of towner he truly is!

There is a killer in our midst yes, but this is not the time for the rash accusation. However, whilst this villain who strikes in the night is unknown to us, Mr Wastel seem intent on carrying out a murder of his own in plain sight of us all. He seems to believe not only that there is an outlaw amongst us, something which I have entertained, but that such a man is also in cahoots with a super natural creature! This is the talk of a mad man who's clearly creating fantastical stories in the hopes of killing his own brethren. With these dark nights what is to stop a man such as this from crying wolf upon each of you in turn? Based upon the thinnest of supposed guilt he asks for my death. Should I, a rational man be slain based on one man's hearsay?

Were I a vengeful man I would have had cause to lawfully kill Mr Wastel for his accusations. But the Count has other concerns that dealing with manics such as him. Our laird however would surely issue his wrath upon us if we didn't meet out beer tally, and with the death of Mighty Joe Dakka, we are already a hand down. So, for the tally's sake, I shall not ask for his death, nor the indignity of house arrest. When the Count's men arrive to collect their due though, I will humbly ask for an appointment with our ruler to deal with this matter.

I will abstain from the vote for Bräumeister today. Edward showed that he was competent yes, and he already has a vote of confidence from many of the townsfolk. I shall retire to the chapel for the remainder of the day outside of my harvesting, then return to tend to my ox. I expect that the good Bishop does not desire to harvest today given the recent events and funerals which he has to deal with.

Now, what hour does night call at this night?

I will harvest barley this day at the request of our brew master to build up our stores.

I believe only Brother Himmeldenker has not declared yet.

Brother, shall I put you down for Barley?

Also, I shall vote for myself as Braumeister. I do believe in consistency and order for these things.

Herr Braumeister,

You can count on me to harvest barley.

I will cast my vote for Edward Platuan IV as the Braumeister.
I will harvest barley.
I have no desire to see anyone lynched while we weigh the implications of recent events.

I will pray again for the soul of the innocent Mighty Joe Dakka and for the end of the fell one that slew him.

Herr Brewmaster, mkay.

By your list, we have 6 gathering hops and only 4 gathering barely. With 1 extra hops, that will only make for us 4 more beers, mkay. Should we not have one more person in the barely fields than we have in gathering hops? I don't mind doing my part, mkay.

Whatever you think is best.

As is, I'm still gathering hops.

Actually, on second thought, I believe it may be more advantageous for me to reap the sweet fields of Barley!

Normally not a pernicious beast, I humbly accept any ridicule and scorn that you all deem to heap upon me.

Alright, I believe we're set for today's labor being the most productive it can be!

So, if Platuan wins the Brewmaster position again, that'll bring four harvests of hops.

Correct, which gives us 5 and 5 thanks to the extra in the store room.

Well, at this rate the Count's troops will be here before too long.

Let's hope this monster doesn't cause too much damage (if any) this evening.

Yay!

Vote for Edward for Brew Master
Harvesting Barley (at his request)
String up McMcalla unless he can disprove my theories.

Offering up my own life if I am wrong about him, but I don't know how any of you can't see the signs. It's him!! HIM!!!

I'll put my faith behind Wastel - I'll also vote to lynch McMcalla.

Thank you for believing in me!! This village will endure, brother!

Pft! I retire to the chapel. If my fellows are intent to throw accusations at me then you will have to tear me from hallowed ground to take me. I'll leave it to the Count's men to lay the question of why you killed an innocent man without a shred of real evidence bar this fantasy of werewolves on you all. I just ask how many homes and families more will be torn apart through this werewolf hunt of yours? That out of towner, or your own brothers will surely have murdered you all in your sleep before this supposed werewolf does!

If thou art indeed innocent, then our mighty Lord will protect you in his chapel and keep you from harm. He will provide a sign to those that plan to kill the most foul beast tonight and suspect it to be you. Our Savior will put a stop to their deeds if you are one of his children as he would never allow the blood of the innocent to be spilled inside his house.

But if he does not appear to aid you in your time of need, then I must trust in him and find that the others in this village must have judged you rightly.

I will come with the group when they go to the chapel tonight, and to praise our Lord if he appears to stop their deeds. But if he appears to have forsaken you then I shall abide by his judgement of you and assist the others in dispensing of the threat that is facing this village.

I look forward to seeing the signs of our most mighty Lord and Savior tonight, but if he fails to come to your aid I will assure that the others make your death as swift and humane as possible, a better fate that you gave your victims.

ooc:

So unless Manchu decided to have Jesus save your behind, I'm voting to lynch Wyrmalla!

OOC (because I've spent too long in character in this thread).

* Snigger.

You trigger happy yokels! I'll watch you from the grave tomorrow as you blow off your own feet with "silver" bullets. Let's see what that does for beer production! XD
