Night 4 Lynch Write-up:
After the shocking lynch affair of Sunday, the children are riled up. They are angry. They feel betrayed, but they know they only have themselves to blame. Well, most of them. Some of them blame the victim, as if they weren't completely ignorant of the obvious. SMH - some will never learn to take responsibility for their errors. Trilt meanwhile continues to glorify in his lynch escape, tasting that sweet elixir that occurs in WW when you deceive the village, and your evil plans come to fruition. Since Trilt admitted to wolfdom after results let's recap a few of the items the villagers ignored in the lynch yesterday.
1) You ignored the fact that Trilt had a short role description with no discernible ability.
2) You ignored the fact that Trilt made having an item sound like a role ability when most of you have received items.
3) You ignored the fact that Trilt never offered up any info before Steph did so first.
4) You ignored the fact that the picture Trilt posted had a broken link... would the mods really give a broken link in their role PMs?
5) You ignored the fact that Trilt didn't have a bolded name. Really? Copied off a spreadsheet? a) Who would copy their own role description to a spreadsheet... and b) Who would go to a spreadsheet rather than their conversation which is so convenient.
6) You ignored the fact that there was no reason to leave Trilt around when there was for Steph.
7) You ignored the fact that Steph was desperately trying to figure out how to do a screen shot. a) someone not tech savvy enough to do a screen shot must not be able to fake one and b) the person of the 2 who wanted to use a screen shot must have nothing to hide.
There are others, but those all popped out to me. Just a reminder, that the "fault lies not in the stars - or with the victim - the fault lies with thyselves".
So what do you all think Trilt did with himself last night? I mean, besides the celebratory drinks and laughing at the villagers expense. I will tell you right now. Trilt took his toys and started building an item. A very important item. He started building an ant farm. An ant farm doesn't seem particularly dangerous does it? Let's listen in to what one of the ants hears while Trilt is building his antfarm:
I am going to use my tinkertoys to create an Ant Farm. My ant farm has fragile walls that can be thrown and broken when needed, and the Crematogaster striatula ants that were stuffed to the brim will come streaming out. They will use their venom to aim for the eyes of any nearby group of lynchers, and then I can dodge away unharmed (for that day, at least).
That's right villagers. You will NOT be able to lynch Trilt today with this item in his possession.
But, all is not lost. Whilst Trilt completes his ant farm and collects all the fire ants from the area, and even finds brittle glass in his tinker toy set to help the ants escape, one villager has, well not smartly cause it should have been obvious, but at least correctly decided to use her item and send the toy soldiers to hold Trilt hostage. Trilt will be unable to use that beautiful ant farm during the lynch, and would be susceptible to a lynching.
Meanwhile Trilt is not the only one working on items. There is an upset villager working on an item as well. She is crafting a knife. And it is a very special knife. In fact, she makes multiple versions of it before finally getting the details just right. Here is how she described it in her own terms:
I have crafted a special knife, swift and sure, and carved of only the hardest diamond. It bestows upon its user one free, guaranteed kill on the night it is received. It could prove to be of immense use to any villager who manages to get their hands on it.
And a villager did get her hands on it. In fact, she kept it for herself. Any guess who she decided to use it on? That's right, your favorite wolf, Trilt. She crept up to the wolf's tent in order to kill him, but first let's look elsewhere......
There is another villager who is stinking mad about this Trilt thing, and he also wants to take matters into his own hand. He is a leader of children, and is pretty darn good with a sword. He decides that maybe it is best that the villagers not wait, and dispatch Trilt right away. He too starts to creep up to Trilt's tent in order to kill him, but secondly let's look elsewhere.....
The wolves are not quiet today. They are happy that Trilt has made the villagers look like fools, but they don't like one of their own being so close to getting lynched. They decide to head out and look for their victims. The first one heads off to find its intended victim, but is disappointed to find that this child is not naughty, and therefore cannot be killed. The second wolf oddly hovers around Trilt's tent as if confused, but thirdly, let's look elsewhere.....
There is another villager who is very upset about Steph's death. It seems that this lynch has really galvanized the villagers to have "feels". This villager goes to be with Steph's body, and sobs and cries over the loss of another villager. Suddenly, she makes her decision, she is not going to let this stand. She too will take action. She takes an elixir off the chain around her neck, opens it up and pours it down Steph's throat. But fourthly, let's look back at Trilt's tent.
Around Trilt's tent there is an evil creature, Trilt, and 2 villagers, an ant farm, a magic knife, and toy soldiers. It is pretty crowded around there. I guess we need to find out what happens in all this mess. So without further ado....
Our first villager rushes in and takes her knife and stabs it right through Trilt's eye. We have an x-ray of the image, quite appropriate for a medical forum, no? Trilt does not die.
As she goes to withdraw the knife to reuse it , it breaks, and remains imbedded in Trilt's head. She wants to be sure that Trilt is dead but hears sounds outside and is forced to retreat leaving the knife behind. As she is leaving, she trips over one of the toy soldiers and knocks over the ant farm, but manages to escape the tent.
Shortly thereafter, the source of the noise that spooked her enters the tent. It is Peter Pevensie. He draws his sword to kill Trilt, but fire ants suddenly start climbing all over him, as the previous villager had broken open the ant farm accidentally and the ants start biting him. He drops his sword and starts trying to smack all the ants, but they are vicious, bred by a bad owner to be violent. Soon his sword hand is covered in ants...
(by the way, if you search for "fire ants on man image" you will find a picture of a guy who put fire ants down his pants with predictable results. Another Darwin Award winner I say).
With his hand covered in ants, and squealing like a little girl in pain, Trilt meanwhile is laughing maniacally, enjoying the show, but with a broken knife sticking out of his eye. I mean, this guy just won't die. Even worse, Peter is stomping on all the toy soldiers and it looks like Trilt is REMAKING his ant farm. He will be able to escape lynch after all. In the midst of this mayhem, the hovering wolf enters the tent, quickly understands the situation, and this evil creature who has been hiding in the shadows comes out and quickly kills Peter.
Dead is @finnickthedog, affectionately known as Findog, Peter who could kill 2 people during the game, and who died trying valiantly to kill the wolf Trilt.
The wolf turns to Trilt and winks, saying "I got your back bro", and returns to the shadows.
Meanwhile, back by Steph's body, the villager is applying CPR to the body that already has rigor mortis setting in. She pounds the chest, she pumps her chest, she breaths into the dead body's mouth (ick, humans are disgusting) and suddenly, a miracle. Praise be.
@SFsteph has been brought back to life. Welcome back Steph.
And at the same time Trilt observes/feels this disturbance in the "evil" force, and in some karmic revenge, the broken knife blade is shifted as Trilt is screaming out in horror over this injustice. Somehow the blade moving has nicked one of the carotids, and Trilt quickly bleeds out babbling incoherently about her "victory" over the villagers. Finally, yes, you can believe it,
Trilt, Krampus who punishes misbehaving children by taking away their toys (items) has been
killed. Oh yeah, shocker
, Trilt is a wolf.
Where do you go from here? We shudder to think what y'all think. Lynch somebody.
