Just a few notes:

1) The first post has been updated to include rules for posting locations. It would be a lot easier on our poor eyes if you guys would please bold your locations just like you do with your votes. And just as we have the key word UNVOTE if you change your mind on a vote, let's use MOVE FROM/MOVE TO if you change your mind on a location.
2) It looks like everyone has claimed their role so far, but I'm still missing seven lists. Make sure you get them to Pickles and myself by 7:30 PM NST tomorrow.
3) Please make sure you you send your PMs to both Pickles and myself. I am unable to respond to PMs during the day on PPT, consequently Pickles will be responding to most of those PMs. She and I tend to discuss them before she replies though, so it would really help if both of us knew what the other was referring to. You will probably see me haunt PPT every now and then because I can read PMs and read the game thread on my iphone, but sending PMs or posting doesn't tend to work that well.

bless you and your special ww iphone *pats averly*

Hi lovelies. Sorry I didn't post earlier. End of month is a nightmare. I'm now at 90 hours this time sheet, with 2 more 8 hour shifts to go (bringing me to a delightful 26 hours overtime currently). And they STILL won't give me the supervisor position.... depsite the fact I'm the only staff member who's not management who knows the safe code. HUH?!

Execution, Day 1

Slowly, everyone gathered at Weathertop, warily looking at each other. Nienna was, of course, weeping, as always, though not loudly or violently. Tears trickled down her face, as she watched everyone congregate.
Varda looked up as everyone approached, glowing only dimly. She had seen the indecision during the day, and knew she would not have need to use her powers. Once everyone had arrived, she stood, and addressed the group.
"It would appear that there will be no execution tonight, as the majority decided. I hope you will be able to rest easy tonight."
Varda paused. There was a murmur and many people fidgeted.
"You will now be taken to your requested locations. Good night."

No one was executed.

Night 1 begins.

Night 1

It was a dark and ominous night, providing perfect cover for the nefarious acts some were prone to cause. thetrueoogabooga heard what sounded like loud thunder approaching, so he left camp to investigate. As he crested the hill in the direction from where the sounds originated, his eyes widened in horror as he watched a large herd of oliphants stampede directly towards him. Just when he thought all was lost, he was knocked over as someone became a shield between him and the beasts. When the oliphants made it past, thetrueoogabooga looked up to see who protected him, but could not make out the identity. Miraculously the protector only received a small scattering of cuts and bruises from the encounter.

Anvil stood on top of a hill and looked down, a small smile of grim satisfaction upon his face. Below him stood his target. He called power to him and watched with pleasure as streams of lava appeared in a pool near him. He directed it to go down the hill, towards his prey, but watched in absolute horror as it seemed to bubble and slither towards him. Not expecting this to occur, Anvil was unable to move out of the way before he was consumed by the lava.

Lothlorien was strangely quiet that night, Alex thought as she stood in the middle of a small clearing in the forest listening for the normally ever-present sound of nature around the forest. She was about to leave to see if any of the elves were noticing anything suspicious when a whip of fire appeared to spring out from amongst a thick grove of trees. She moved her leg out the way before it could wrap around her leg, but she wasn't quite quick enough to avoid getting a little singed. Fortunately the wound was small enough that she could make it to safety before whatever was out there could follow her.

During the night, Rachel began feeling a little off. The world looked a little blurry around her, and for a moment she thought she could see two of Varda, who stood in front of her giving her disapproving looks. Varda pulled her up from the ground (which she failed to remember how she got there, she could not remember wanting to sit down) and guided her steps towards a place to sleep it off. Unfortunately she felt like her feet were not connected to her head since they did not seem to want to do what she told them.

Ammer sat straight up in his bedroll, sweat pouring down his face. The sight he saw in his dreams simply terrified him. All he wanted to do was find a dark corner to hide in where no one could find him, and hope he would not fall asleep again to see the same horror.


Results:
Someone was attacked instead of thetrueoogabooga, but survived.
Anvil was attacked by lava, died, and cannot be resurrected. He was Sauron.
Alex was attacked, and survived.
Rachel is tipsy. She is unable to use powers, vote, or be targeted for the next day and night.
Ammer is terrified. He may not use any SPs for the next day and night.
Rubywinged approached Nienna for some minor patching up.


Day 2 Begins.

Wow, Sauron already died

[Pardona]

I was thinking the same... way to score a first kill.
And I wonder who can direct oliphaunts to attack someone. Men of the South?
