Later that night in the castle...

So I says 'mate, this is a bit overblown, innit? Bein' honest with you, it's not the Great Wall. It's an alright wall. It's the Alright Wall of China.' Oh and he didn't like that a bit. He said it was huge and went on for miles over the hills and stuff. I told him 'well, so does the East Lancs Road. You can see that for miles, and that does a job! You can drive on that.' Never did understand that whole bit about a 'Great Wall' I mean it's just a wall. My aunt has a wall in her garden. You don't see people travellin' halfway across the world to see that, do you?"

He takes another gulp of schnapps, finishing the glass.

"And these wolves.... men who turn into wolves. Why, when it was invented, has it got that facility? That can't be natural, innit? Like, I've heard they've found this spider, in the jungle. Three foot long, it eats chicken. Bit weird, innit? People moan saying that you shouldn't lock animals up and all the rest of it, but to be honest I wish it was locked up. The idea that it's roaming in a jungle... get it locked up. Same with these werewolves. Lock them up or shoot the lot of them, I say."

Mookie poured himself another healthy glass of schnapps

*Enigma sees Sub-lieutenant mookiemookie and he walks towards him*

Sir, cheers to the Schnaps.
To bad, we ran out of Schnaps, but perhaps that isn't such a bad thing after all.
You know, on one point AVGWarhawk (he rest in peace) he might have been right.
I'm drinking to much. I should quit the booze.
Strange thing is, before the damned war, I never drank Schnaps.
A beer once in a while, but that's it.
But since then and more since I'm at this God forgotten place...

*straitening his back*

Back to this place. Sir, we aren't there yet.
There is one more werewolf.
Before the night is over he will attack again.
We should all prepare our self and make up our mind.
I have already explained to you all who he might be.
I'm eager to hear from the remaining survivors what their thoughts are on this matter.

So I urge everybody to speak up and share your thoughts.


*enigma takes one of the last remaining donuts*

Well it's quite clear to me. It's that bloke who's out there freezing on the beach. I know it ain't me mates Takeda or jimbuna, and I'm pretty sure it isn't you. Shame to lose a good Chief, but I don't think they're testing for the lupine persuasion at the Royal Naval College. Have a drink, sit by the fire, and let's make sure we all make it through this alive and well. We'll sort him out tomorrow.

OK, but if we do not take appropriate action, one more human will die.

You are protected by the talisman.
Someone could go to the nunnery and would be safe too.
Another could go to the lighthouse and climb into the tower.
But what about the rest?

Any suggestions?

*Sits alone on the beach.*

I'd say something but what's the point. They sit there with the wolves amongst them and laugh about how they're going to lynch a human.

I hope when it comes, their deaths are both agonising and they have sufficient time to realise the mistake they've made.

(OOC)

Well you should do because you played one hell of an excellent part :salute:

Jimbuna looks down at the lifeless body of the creature that was once AVG and remembers the words he spoke to him yesterday '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'.

"Your at peace now soldier, you can lay down your rifle"

Jimbuna turned and left the scene heading toward Enigma and Mookie.

Jimbuna hears what Enigma says...
He thinks to himself 'The alliance we formed very early and the measures taken shortly thereafter meant we are all immune from the wolfs attack'

He sighed 'That in itself is a good thing but we still have one more duty to perfotm...it will all be over soon' he thought to himself.

As dawn broke, the few remaining men of HMS Terrific and the sole survivor of Verposten X gathered in the Great Hall.

No one had died in the night, but there had been enough howling and gnashing of teeth to keep them up at night.

and so,

Mookie eyed the ragtag bunch that was left in the castle. Takeda, the Yank newsman, looked shell shocked and weary. PO Jimbuna looked like he could do with a shower and a shave but the burly man still retained his jolly nature. The German, Enigma, looked every bit of the frightened kid playing at war that he undoubtedly was.

"We know what has to be done. We've been through much, and lost many of our friends along the way. Let's do them a favor and end this abomination. The only beast left is Tarrasque. It pains me to say it, but Tarrasque must die so that we may live. "

Knowing that they've turned against him, quietly waits and accepts his fate with dignity.

Jimbuna was sat next to Mookie, he felt really elated that after all they had been through together and after all the comrades they'd lost that it looked like this nightmare ordeal was coming to an end.

He noticed Mookie looking at him so he returned his look with a smile which developed into a wide grin and then a hearty laugh.

Mookie began to look puzzled but at that point Jimbuna let out a rasping pump (for the benefit of any younger members who may be following this thread) it was so loud it would possibly wake the dead.

Mookie said "WTF"!

Jimbuna "Now I know why the werewolves never attacked me"

Mookie "Why is that"?

Jimbuna "Well isn't it obvious?....they would have had to consume that".

Both men gave each other an understanding look and nodded in agreement.

And so it came to this. The five of them: The drained newsman, the fiercely loyal british sailor, the battle-hardened PO, the neophyte soldier and the beast who had betrayed them all. Soon it would end. Tonight, they would all sleep well.

Lynch vote for Tarrasque.

Jimbuna looks around him at the other four men but in particular at Mookie and Takeda, the two who have acted so honestly and honourably toward him throughout this whole sad, sorry business and decided 'Time to end it'.

Lynch vote for Tarrasque.

*The Enigma was standing in the kitchen and looking at the sky seeing a new day had arrived.
Feeling lonely, since all of his German comrades have died during the past week and missing his dear one: Hildegard.
Last night he knew had something happened. An experience he never hoped to experience again*

Nobody seems to have noticed, but the werewolf has attacked again.
It happened like I had foresee it.
My revelations have made me a target.
I survived, but I lost something in that encounter.
I feel much more afraid now. Oh Hildegard,
I will return at home as soon as this is over.

*With a trembling hand, the enigma took a knife and carved a message into a
huge German "wurst" which was hanging from the kitchen ceiling:*


Relieve Tarrasque from his ordeal. Shoot him
