[RP Game] Protect the elflings!

Ithilwien sat at a table in the back of the tavern eating supper and drinking a pint of ale while keeping a close eye on everyone in the place, realizing that no one was beyond suspicion and even those she had known for a long time could be guilty she was very uneasy this evening. Once again we could not come to an agreement as to who was responsible and this meant another night that one of her friends or herself could be the next one.

It was that time again. Elves filed in, clearly disheartened. Auraya read out the votes, keeping herself cool as ice:

Arnesson: Ithilwien
Halithore/Hali: Arnesson
Ithilwien: Arnesson
Poopnug/Tuon: Absent [Last poster, forgot to vote?]

Thes: No Lynch
Ninja Muncher: No Lynch
Night Owl/Finwë: Arnesson
Kabu: Arnesson
Vibs: No Lynch

Auraya gritted her teeth. She knew what had to be done and called down lightning from the heavens, striking Arnesson and killing him instantly. The crowd held their breath and Auraya felt herself doing the same.. no transformation took place. Arnesson had been a normal elf. Worse, he'd been her friend and he'd died by her hand. Guilt rose up and she left the square without saying a word. 

Later on, Halithore knocked at her door. She wiped her face so he wouldn't notice she'd been crying. 

"Yes? What is it?" she said, fairly inaudibly but he seemed not to notice. 

"You need to come. Quickly," his face was ashen and she feared the worse. She followed him to Ithilwien's cottage and found a half eaten corpse. Someone had disturbed the orc's meal but not in time. 

Auraya cursed. She suspected none of them would come out of this alive. 

Hali stood still outside Ithilwien's cottage with so many thoughts running through his head, he had been wrong yet again with his vote but this time an innocent elf had died as a result of his poor judgement. Looking around he saw Auraya stood there silently and could only imagine what she was feeling after the events that had unfolded.

Vibs wrote: "a please don't eat me, I have worms" card written in orcish around his neck.

Queen Auraya looked tired. She stood before the gathering (for it was hardly big enough to continue calling a crowd) and read the names in a weary voice, which cracked at intervals.
