Vengeance Tournament!

Sorry guys, this is a pretty much FULL log of the vengeance game, minus ambient effects, so it is VERY long.

[quote]The very heavens emit an alien pall of polychromatic colour as the multifarious voices of Morgfyre, the Legion thunder, "It has been some time since We have borne witness to you mortals doing what it seems you do best."

The very heavens emit an alien pall of polychromatic colour as the multifarious voices of Morgfyre, the Legion thunder, "To those who would see Vengeance upon their transgressors, come before Us and take Our challenge!"

A bright flash erupts near the summit of Avechna's Peak as the Ruins of the Vengeful once more intersect with this timeline, heralding the initiation of a Vengeance game!

Arcs of icy white energy blaze across the firmament as Zvoltz, the Architect shouts, "Gaudiguch should be rather good at this. A game of deceit and backstabbing should be right up their alley after all this time with Mysrai."

You see Morgfyre, the Legion shout, "Now, Zvoltz, there is no need to be so sore at the notion that the finer points of clever strategy are beyond you."

Arcs of icy white energy blaze across the firmament as Zvoltz, the Architect shouts, "It is quite alright, Morgfyre. I know that the concept of being trustworthy is beyond You."
The very heavens emit an alien pall of polychromatic colour as the multifarious voices of Morgfyre, the Legion thunder, "Should you have trouble finding your way, inform Us. We shall begin directly."

The very heavens emit an alien pall of polychromatic colour as the multifarious voices of Morgfyre, the Legion thunder, "Note that this particular bout holds great reward for those with the tenacity to survive - or to do away with their erstwhile compatriots."

The very heavens emit an alien pall of polychromatic colour as the multifarious voices of Morgfyre, the Legion thunder, "The risk and glory is yours, mortals. Do entertain Us."

You are an assassin from the foreign government to the south, tasked with slaying each and every member of the citizenry so that your kin may take the city over for themselves. Slay well and preserve your identity carefully, for secrecy is key if you are to survive long enough to carry out your mission! --YOU ARE AN ASSASSIN!--

You find yourself within the crumbling sanctuary of your home city, barely surviving after countless months of repelling invaders from the south. The repeated attacks have left the citizenry weary and the city itself in a poor state indeed, but you have managed to persevere to such a degree that the foreign armies have stopped attacking altogether. Recent months have revealed that they have simply taken a different approach, however - covert assassins from the foreign government have infiltrated your city and are slowly picking off the remaining population one by one! The citizens must band together and rout the assassins from their midst before they are destroyed from within!

It is now night zero.

You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Fun."

(Assassins): You say, "Yay!"

(Assassins): Dath says, "Who shall die this day?"

(Assassins): Tenil says, "Hmm."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Let's pick someone at random : Klayck."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Pick a name, any name."

(Assassins): You say, "Hmmm... I vote the name I can't pronounce. Kxiklar."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "At this point any will do."

(Assassins): Dath says, "The random name works."

Dath withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kxiklar's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dath departs for Kxiklar's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "...Stephanie please..."

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kxiklar's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Kxiklar's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kxiklar's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Kxiklar's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Kxiklar's name under your breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for his home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

It is now halfway through night zero.

Tenil withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kxiklar's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Tenil departs for Kxiklar's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Who are we missing."

Olgei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kxiklar's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Olgei departs for Kxiklar's home, ready to slay him this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

(Assassins): You say, "That's everyone."

(Assassins): Tenil says, "Phew."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Let's see. Six assassins."

(Assassins): Tenil says, "Do we have a plan for turning them on themselves?"

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Hard to work one out until we know how they'll react."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Afflict with masochism."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Possibly disloyalty."

You feel that night zero will end imminently.

(Assassins): You say, "They will probably abstain from voting for a few rounds."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Who am I again?"

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Can someone tell me who isn't an assassin so I can help."

(Assassins): Tenil says, "You're Dath."

As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Kxiklar, an innocent member of the populace, strung up against the fountain, a knife still sticking out of his chest. He has fallen victim to the assassins!

As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Tenil, a covert assassin, sprawled across the ground, strangulation marks visible around his throat. He has fallen victim to the lunatic!

-1 ASSASSIN DEAD-

The darkness follows Rivius and his fleeing steps to the ether.
Leaving a fading trail of white flame behind her, Battalia, the kitsune leaves to the ether.
Zyphora leaves to the ether.
Spreading her leathery wings, a rose quartz thunderbird soars off to the ether.

It is now day one.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "A dead assassin!"

Anair Goldoak says, "Well, thank you killer, I suppose."

Cavri ponders the situation.

Dirty Olgei says, "Oh thank the gods."

Olgei slumps down dejectedly.

Dagu the Dark says, "That is... quite a number dead."

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Svetora One-Eye says, "But three dead populace."

Tavora nods her head emphatically.

Dath Darkscar says, "Well, there are quite a number playing."

Anair Goldoak looks skeptical and says, "Shame we lost two of our number in the night to unfortunate circumstances."

Tavora Skypiercer says, "Something has gone terribly wrong..."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Two of the populace self-killed."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise frowns and says, "I started to say thank them for what a lot of people died."

Comprehension flashes across Svetora's face.

Viynain mutters and traces the glowing symbol of a rose before him. He smiles as the rose floats towards him and enters his chest, making him somehow look much more attractive.

The air around Faragan blurs as he chants under his breath. He shakes his head and blinks in confusion.

Dath looks exhausted and opens his mouth in an enormous yawn.

Princess Stephanie says, "It was lucky for us to also have an assassin die, with our losses."

Dath peers about himself unscrupulously.

Dath Darkscar says, "Quite."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Indeed, Princess."

Svetora nods her head in agreement.

You say, "Aye, the serial killer got lucky."

Comprehension flashes across Cavri's face.

Duke Endol says, "Well, let us hope that his luck holds out."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Hmm."

Dagu the Dark says, "Aye, very lucky for us."

Dath Darkscar says, "Any blood will do for a serial killer."

Delea Delorney says, "I'm scared."

Delea shivers violently.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "An interesting cooincidence. All of the dead are men."

Svetora One-Eye says, "The serial killer is always lucky, as far as the serial killer is concerned."

Dath winces in pain.

Alarion the Horseless says, "Most of those gathered here are men."

Dath Darkscar says, "Preferably, I won't be next."

Duke Endol says to Svetora, "Then let us hope that we stay lucky."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "So we lost one populace and one assasin. did the ones that pre-maturely left at night count?"

Princess Stephanie says, "They did count as losses."

Phehgoshl nods his head at Cavri.

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Tis a pity."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Yes. Now that we've lost them, the assassins are much closer to victory."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Indeed, we are at a disadvantage now."

Alarion the Horseless says, "There are a -lot- of assassins."

Cavri creases her brow in a frown.

Rommo the Runt says, "They count because they're dead and not here to help us out."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "True enough."

Dagu the Dark says, "Rather skewed that... so what now?"

Tavora Skypiercer says, "That seems..."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Far more of the populace, however."

You say, "There may be 5 assassins but they can only kill one per night. Do not panic needlessly."

Tavora nods her head at Dagu.

Dath ponders the situation.

Dirty Olgei says, "We should be silent for a moment, and ruminate on what has occured."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "We should bathe for a moment, too."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Should we lynch someone today, do you think?"

Holorei gives Olgei the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Night comes again quickly, and you want us to stand around?"

Holorei sniffs Olgei, trying to decipher just what that smell emanating from him is.

Klayck ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "Those odds are possably less every night :( we don't need to be lax in what we do."

Dath stares implacably about himself.

Dirty Olgei says to Holorei, "Dignity is something I have learnt to live without. It takes up unncessary space."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "So does soap."

Dath Darkscar says, "I find it hard to pick anyone to randomly lynch."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Apparently."

Dagu the Dark says, "Though at this point we would be killing at random, bad business."

Duke Endol says to Cavri, "But we need to careful not to kill an innocent, lest we do the assassin's work for them."

Dirty Olgei says, "Have you seen thep rice of soap?"

Viynain suddenly loses focus in his eyes and shudders, then looks curiously refreshed.

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says to Endol, "Indeed, indeed."

Dath Darkscar says, "Especially since there are still more citizens than there are assassins."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Odds are not really in our favour for a random lynch."

Dath Darkscar says, "There's a large chance we'd hit a citizen."

Princess Stephanie says, "We need to organize our own forces without revealing them."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "If we are going to kill someone, Olgei is better than a random choice. But perhaps not that much better."

Klayck nods his head emphatically.

Princess Stephanie says, "We have a protector and a detective."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "I would agree to that."

You say, "I say we wait a night."

Dirty Olgei says, "Oh so you lynch me because I don't bathe."

Phehgoshl nods his head at Stephanie.

Dath shrugs helplessly.

Svetora One-Eye says, "A random lynch, no, but that doesn't mean we can't discuss what happened."

Rommo the Runt says to Olgei, "At least you can buy soap, you can't buy height."

Dirty Olgei says, "Good to know justice will stand."

Dath chuckles long and heartily.

Olgei grumbles angrily.

Anair Goldoak sighs, "Death and despair all around us, yet here we are talking about soap."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "We know little of what happened we found one populace dead."

Dagu the Dark says to Rommo, "Large shoes."

Svetora One-Eye says to Phehgoshl, "By that logic, you're next, Muddy's only a step above Dirty."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Or one step below, depending."

Alarion the Horseless says, "I'd say muddy is worse."

Klayck ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Rommo the Runt says to Dagu, "And I'd still be short but I digress."

Muddy Phehgoshl says to Svetora, "It's more because he wanted to go without talking for a full minute when there's investigation to do."

Svetora One-Eye says to Holorei, "It implies that there was water at one point."

Dirty Olgei says, "If we're giving in to steriotypical nominations, how about one of you noble folk? It's always a noble because they're above the law."

Svetora One-Eye says, "To muddy true."

Dath Darkscar says, "Do we have any butlers?"

Svetora coughs softly.

Dirty Olgei says, "Or consider themselves to be."

Svetora One-Eye says to Phehgoshl, "True."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Rather than any sort of class or dirt-based bias."

Phehgoshl rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Ah, I thought we were biasing on smell."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "I say we give the detective another night."

Anair Goldoak says, "I'm inferring from all of this that we have nothing of value to discuss."

Dath Darkscar says, "If we go by titles, surely Klayck the Frigid has a cold heart, cruel and capable of murder!"

Throwing his hands in the air, Dath tosses his head back and laughs sadistically.

Alarion the Horseless says, "And they are keeping all the horses to themselves."

Alarion gives a pained sigh.

Dath Darkscar says to Anair, "Nope, not really."

Stephanie ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Not a cruel heart, Dath, just not very open to emotion."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "Smell is as good as any at this point witohut evedence."

Svetora One-Eye says to Anair, "We've each other to discuss, unless you'd like to stand around and pray the detective grows lucky several times in a row?"

Dagu the Dark says, "Well, at least someone is doing something... even if it is voting to do nothing. More time, more evidence. We may need to chance it."

Dirty Olgei says, "So is sight. Someone with a lot of money has a lot ot hide."

Delea Delorney says, "Why must there be death?"

Delea cowers in a corner, whimpering.

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "Never trust anyone with no depth perception."

It is now halfway through day one.

Dath gives Svetora the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Duke Endol says to Delea, "Because others bring death to us, Delea. We do not choose it for ourselves."

Dirty Olgei says, "How about we vote for the oldest as they're the ones who will kick it before us if we all survive anyway."

Tavora gives a pained sigh.

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "Because death is what assassins do sadly."

Dath gives a pained sigh.

Cavri frowns and shakes her fist angrily.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Endol's rather quiet."

Svetora One-Eye says to Dath, "And if you listened, you'd notice I was scorning the idea of lynching based on appearance earlier."

You say, "Actually he has been talking quite a bit."

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "It's quite hard to keep people seperated in a group so large."

Phehgoshl peers about himself unscrupulously.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Has he?"

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "My apologies."

Duke Endol says, "You lie, Phehgoshl. I have given advice where I have advice to give."

Comprehension flashes across Phehgoshl's face.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Oh, the Duke."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Right, right."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Indeed, the Duke has been vocal as needed."

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "See, even Phehgoshl thinks people have not spoken when they have."

Dagu the Dark says, "There are many of us, which lends itself to lost voices."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "It is rather confusing."

Svetora One-Eye says to Dath, "Which may say something about you both."

Duke Endol says, "Indeed. Be it deafness or senility, I am not inclined to hold it against you."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "What's Dath done again?"

Muddy Phehgoshl says to Endol, "I think it may be the mud in my ears."

Dath shrugs helplessly.

Tavora Skypiercer says, "Why are we killing Dath?"

Duke Endol says to Phehgoshl, "You may want to see about cleaning that out, then."

Dath Darkscar says, "We're killing me? First I've heard of it."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We're not, we're merely observing."

Dagu sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Dath looks about himself suspiciously.

Dath Darkscar says, "Has Broult spoken?"

Princess Stephanie asks, "Let's try this strategy: would any claim to be the detective?"

Svetora narrows her eyes at Stephanie in an unnerving manner.

Dath shakes his head.

Alarion the Horseless says, "I really hope nobody would claim to be the detective."

Cavri utters a deep, rumbling laugh at Stephanie.

Anair raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Svetora One-Eye says, "That is an assassin's question."

Dirty Olgei says, "Whoever declares themself the detective opens themself to attack."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "It would be a bad idea."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Likely too early to claim."

Dath Darkscar says, "You would expect someone to claim to be the detective?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Why would our detective reveal themselves so soon?"

Princess Stephanie says, "We have a protector, so it wouldn't be entirely suicidal."

Anair Goldoak says, "And if the protector were to die? What then?"

Princess Stephanie says, "However, the real threat is a false claim to its ability."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Can the protector stop both the assassins and the killer?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Unless the Protector dies next, then our detective is defenseless!"

Dirty Olgei says, "I told you, it's the nobles because they can get away with it."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Indeed, Princess."

Stephanie nods her head emphatically.

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says to Stephanie, "'they'd probly be the next death."

Dath sniggers evilly.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "If both go after the detective..."

Dagu the Dark says, "It is... not an intelligent move."

Phehgoshl frets over everything that might go wrong.

Duke Endol says, "Far too dangerous."

Pressing her hands together before her, Celina bows her head and a golden glow suffuses the area around her solar plexus.

Phehgoshl nods his head at Endol.

Princess Stephanie says, "In fact, I will admit it. I am the detective."

Anair raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Um."

Rommo ponders the situation.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Wouldn't the assassins simply go after someone else if it were known the detective was protected?"

Dath Darkscar says, "Really now."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "I don't beleive that."

Dath rolls his eyes.

Dirty Olgei says, "I'm genuinely at a loss at what to do next."

Rommo the Runt says, "Now that was rash."

Duke Endol says, "Then why did you ask for someone to reveal himself, rather than simply stating your skills?"

You say, "Neither do I."

Dath Darkscar says, "Wait for night, I suppose."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Hmm."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Perhaps hoping for a liar, perhaps a fool, perhaps an assassin."

Princess Stephanie says, "If someone tries to kill me, then we might know who our assassins are."

Kathyrin jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Lerad suddenly loses focus in his eyes and shudders, then looks curiously refreshed.

Lerad releases a folded origami flame and it flutters into the air and around him, its charm dissolving into the air around him as the vellum disappears in tiny motes of dust.

Pressing his hands together before him, Lerad bows his head and a golden glow suffuses the area around his solar plexus.

The sky lightens and stars fade as Father Sun approaches the horizon in his neverending quest to capture Mother Night.

You say, "How do we know that she is not the serial killer or vigilante simply trying to throw everyone off..."

Dath Darkscar says, "Are we untrusting enough to lynch the Princess?"

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Have the watcher watch you. Clever."

Phehgoshl puts his hands on his hips and goes "Hmmm!"

Stephanie nods her head emphatically.

Rommo the Runt says, "At this juncture, no. There are too many people."

Svetora One-Eye says to Dath, "Would you trust anyone right now?"

You feel that day one will end imminently.

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "Kathyrin seems to wish to lynch her."

Dath shrugs helplessly.

Svetora frowns at Dath.

Princess Stephanie says, "Shouldn't the mafia want to kill me now?"

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Ooh."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Yes, I saw."

Duke Endol says, "Perhaps our alleged detective should be watched this night, so that we can know the truth?"

Dath Darkscar says, "I wonder why Kathyrin would do that."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "I would also ask that the protector protect Stephanie, so the Watcher knows who the protector is."

Dath peers about himself unscrupulously.

You say, "That being said, with the day due to end, I am withholding my vote. The odds are against us and we are no closer to deciding than we were at the start."

Dath Darkscar says, "Truth spoken."

Duke Endol says, "I agree."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "There's using your noodle."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I concur."

Alarion the Horseless says, "There's a big problem with that. The watcher will have no idea who is the killer and who is the protector."

Dirty Olgei says, "I shall vote for none. I will not get my already dirtied hands covered with blood."

You rub your chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Anair Goldoak says, "Any way this goes, it is a bold move. Let's hope it works out in our favor, rather than against it."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "How about lynch you because you didn't back up your claim and if you're not the detective then what would that make you to lie so?"

Alarion the Horseless says, "If they announce who they saw observing, well."

Svetora nods her head at Alarion.

Delea shudders violently.

Alarion the Horseless says, "It will be very, very clear who the protector is."

Olgei shuffles away to a corner and broods about something.

Defensively raising his hands, Dath backs away from the situation slowly.

Princess Stephanie asks, "If I die tonight, then I am innocent, yes?"

Dath Darkscar says, "Well, then what's the point?"

Anair Goldoak says, "Not like it would do us a lot of good."

The day has come to an end and the gallows remain empty; no-one has been lynched today.

It is now night one.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Well well well."

(Assassins): Dath says, "So."

(Assassins): Dath says, "What's my title, again?"

(Assassins): You say, "I say to throw them off we kill nobody."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I was this close to nominating you for assassination Holorei for accusing me."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "We're meant to work together as assassins."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "VENGEANCE ROLE."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Ah, Darkscar."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Fitting."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "What about it?"

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Well, we'd at least not kill Stephanie... which is works in her favour, slightly smart that."

(Assassins): You say, "Oh come now, we are not meant to be arguing among us."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Okay, shut up. Pick a vocal target."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Let us commit regicide."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "That's what they want us to do."

(Assassins): You say, "No. The watcher will be watching her."

It is now halfway through night one.
(Assassins): Dath says, "Elend."

(Assassins): You say, "I say kill nobody."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Is the king."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Phehgoshl perhaps."

(Assassins): Dath says, "If I die, blame it on someone."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "I am inlined to either Svetora or anair."

Jinx shimmers into existence before you.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Is that muddy bloke an assassin?"

(Assassins): You say, "How about Rommo? He was very quiet."

You feel that night one will end imminently.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "We should kill the king so that they have no leader and fall into more chaos."

(Assassins): You say, "We must hurry, we are out of time."

Dath withdraws his dagger and murmurs Rommo's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dath departs for Rommo's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Delea, the vigilante, sprawled across the ground, strangulation marks visible around her throat. She has fallen victim to the lunatic!
With massive wings of black feathers, with a white band running through the pinions outspread, a giant feral eagle soars out majestically on air currents to the ether.

It is now day two.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Cavri shouts "Oi!" at the top of her voice.

Dath Darkscar says, "...What?"

Svetora blinks.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Killer killed the vigilante."

Dirty Olgei says, "Buggering Nil."

Dagu the Dark says, "Interesting."

Anair Goldoak says, "The coward was the vigilante? Good grief."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Well then."

Svetora One-Eye says, "A clever enough guise."

Dath Darkscar says, "That's surprising."

You say, "Very interesting..."

Duke Endol says, "Hm. Am I correct in my understanding that the assassins did not act, then?"

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid says, "Quite surprising."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Which does leave the question of our dear Princess."

Rommo the Runt says, "No one would suspect him at least."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Did not act or were blocked."

Princess Stephanie says, "It would appear they did not."

You say, "Aye. The assassins did not act apparently."

Anair Goldoak says, "If they acted, they were stopped."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "To stephine did you find anyone?"

Muddy Phehgoshl says to Stephanie, "Did you find anyone?"

Dirty Olgei says, "You are quick to trust her clai that she is what she claimed."

Stephanie shakes her head.

Rami is ripped from your location by an unseen force.

Tavora gives a pained sigh.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Very quick, how convenient she has nothing to give us."

Muddy Phehgoshl says to Olgei, "I don't trust her, but I do want to know what she claims do have done this night."

Rommo creases his brow in a frown.

Anair Goldoak says, "If you are indeed the detective, surely you can tell us the details of your investigations?"

Dath Darkscar says, "Yes, detective. What did you do?"

Duke Endol says, "Can you give an assurance that one person or another is innocent, then? That person will at least believe you if you are telling the truth."

Princess Stephanie says, "For my friends in the crowd, I hope you know that my words are true."

Anair shakes her head.

Anair Goldoak says, "It will not be a guarantee."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Or if she's an assassin, she'll speak another assassin's name."

Anair Goldoak says, "The killer, remember, will show up as innocent."

Princess Stephanie says, "If you lynch me now, it will still serve our purposes."

Dirty Olgei says to Phehgoshl, "Us common folk should stick together."

Anair Goldoak says, "Be quiet with your dramatics."
Anair Goldoak says, "Just tell us who you investigated."

Duke Endol says to Anair, "Oh. I stand corrected, then."

Princess Stephanie says, "You will see who acted against me if I should die and know who to bring vengeance upon."

Muddy Phehgoshl says to Endol, "An assassin could give the same information."

Anair Goldoak says, "Who did you investigate?"

Dath Darkscar says, "So you're saying that anyone who tries to lynch you is suspect."

Svetora One-Eye says to Stephanie, "How would lynching you serve our purposes?"

Dagu the Dark says, "You are doing a lovely job of avoiding the question, Princess."

Dath Darkscar says to Svetora, "Because she says that anyone who lynches her should be lynched next."

Duke Endol says to Phehgoshl, "Hm. I had not thought of that."

Dirty Olgei says to Dagu, "She's a politician it's what they do."

Svetora One-Eye says to Dath, "Yes, logic, that."

Princess Stephanie says, "I am not saying that, per se."

Anair Goldoak says, "If you are the detective, you lose nothing by offering this information. It's not like you're going to give away your role."

Rommo the Runt says, "No we won't since you won't tell us who was investigated."

Dirty Olgei says, "Politicians cannot be trusted."

Princess Stephanie says, "But you will be able to consider their words."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Because she's not been suspicious enough!"

Anair Goldoak says, "Who did you invesigate, both times, and what was the result?"

Anair tilts her head and listens intently to Stephanie.

Holorei gives Anair the once-over, eyeing her suspiciously.

Finger extended, Phehgoshl pokes Stephanie.

Holorei Swiftwing looks skeptical and says, "Why are we pushing the detective around."

Anair Goldoak says, "All I want to know is this information. There is no reason you wouldn't offer it."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "Go on. Who did you investigate the last few nights?"

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid asks Stephanie, "Well, who was it then?"

Svetora One-Eye says to Holorei, "Because we've no proof she's the detective."

Anair Goldoak says, "The alleged detective. I want to know why she's avoiding the question."

Dath Darkscar says, "Because they probably aren't the detective."

Princess Stephanie says, "Please, calm yourselves."

Viynain shimmers into existence before you.

Viynain mutters and traces a glowing circle before him. He steps through the circle and suddenly vanishes from sight.

Anair Goldoak says, "Princess Stephanie, all I want is an answer to the question."

"Cool!" Dath exclaims.

Princess Stephanie says, "It is the truth, I am a mere populace."

You say, "She could very easily be the killer, as I said before. We know she is not the vigilante because they are dead."

Alarion looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Dath places a hand to his breast and heaves a dramatic sigh, glancing skyward.

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Naming names won't prove it either, good grief. Did you guys take a hit of kola first."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Wouldn't providing the information open one up to assassination?"

The Iron Key to the Infernal Machine clicks and clanks with a cacophony of mechanical noises, a trickle of crimson blood streaming from one of the eye sockets for a moment.

Alarion the Horseless says, "So you now confess to lying."

Phehgoshl jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Theoretically she's already open to assassination."

Svetora shakes her head.

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "She's definitely an assassin. No real populace would be that dumb."

Klayck jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

I missed that altogether.

Anair Goldoak says, "Wait, first."

Princess Stephanie says, "I knew the risk beforehand, this will merely prove the truth."

Duke Endol says, "So she used herself as bait to reveal an assassin, in principle at least. I find this somewhat unlikely."

Svetora One-Eye says, "I would hope not."

You jab an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Svetora jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Dath Darkscar says, "Well, I suppose if the mob is lynching."

Glorious rays of morning light burst forth from Father Sun's crown as it peeks over the world's edge, announcing a bright and shining new dawn.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "I meant if she is not and someone else spoke up."

Holorei rolls his eyes.

Kathyrin jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Dath jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Anair Goldoak says, "We have plenty of time before we need to act, you know."

Dirty Olgei says, "I'm abstaining. I have made many mistakes in my life but murder will not be one of them!"

Holorei jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Phehgoshl rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Phehgoshl nods his head at Anair.

Dath raises an eyebrow questioningly.

Olgei rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Dath rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Svetora One-Eye says, "And if she lives to muddy the waters further?"

Cavri jabs an angry finger toward Broult, voting to lynch him.

Princess Stephanie says, "I think if I were an assassin, I would be much more stealthy about myself."

Svetora blinks incredulously at Cavri.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "My reservation would be that, if she were not, the real detective could debunk the falsehood."

Dagu sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Dath Darkscar says, "Broult? What?"

Princess Stephanie asks, "Why would I reveal such a thing and balk on my claim?"

Dirty Olgei says, "Unless that's what you want us to think."

Cavri jabs an angry finger toward Tavora, voting to lynch her.

Dirty Olgei says, "A double bluff."

Dath Darkscar says, "I havn't the-."

Alarion the Horseless says, "What are you all even doing now?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Why would we want the real detective to reveal him or herself so soon."

Dath Darkscar says, "...Gods, this is confusing."

Phehgoshl peers at Cavri unscrupulously.

Dagu raises an eyebrow at Cavri.

Duke Endol says to Cavri, "Explain yourself."

Princess Stephanie says, "Previously we had nothing to go on, but this episode is revealing."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "You've added only chaos and confusion. Doesn't sound like a decective to me."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "I think I'm not doing the actions right..."

Dirty Olgei says, "VENGEANCE will give you the syntax."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Fair enough."

Dark light flickers in Xenthos's eyes as shadows dance at his feet, rising up as if to briefly shroud  from the world.

Comprehension flashes across Cavri's face.

Svetora One-Eye says to Stephanie, "Yes, you've reveal quite a lot."

Cavri jabs an angry finger toward Tavora, voting to lynch her.

Dath Darkscar says, "But now she says she isn't a detective."

Stephanie flashes Svetora a joyous smile.

Cavri growls menacingly.

Dath Darkscar says, "She says she was lying and was a populace the whole time."

Dagu the Dark says to Stephanie, "But what does it reveal, dear Princess. Will it helps us survive?"

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Then why pretend to be?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "To muddy the waters."

Dath Darkscar says, "That's the question, dear Kathyrin."

Anair Goldoak says, "What if she's the lunatic? Wouldn't that be funny."

Svetora One-Eye says, "A useful trick for an assassin."

Cavri retracts her vote for Tavora.

Princess Stephanie says, "The true detective may draw their own conclusions and investigate one of you who might be voting for me."

Svetora One-Eye says, "After all, why would an assassin draw such attention to herself?"

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Which isn't something anyone on the defense would want."

It is now halfway through day two.

Princess Stephanie says, "If they might have investigated me during the night."

Dagu the Dark says, "It is certainly keeping us divided..."

Svetora One-Eye says to Stephanie, "Yes, how self-sacrificing of you."

Dagu the Dark says, "... and stalled."

Princess Stephanie says, "They would have seen that I was a populace."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "I think that Stephanie is an assassin and Cavri was voting for all sorts of people to draw the attention off of her."

Dath Darkscar says, "Perhaps."

Dath Darkscar says, "Perhaps..."

Muddy Phehgoshl says, "They're both suspicious."

Anair Goldoak says, "Or you're the lunatic pulling a clever ploy."

Svetora One-Eye says, "An inspiration to us all. You've been ready to die from the start, and pardon if I don't believe that."

Anair Goldoak says, "You would show up as innocent during investigation, wouldn't you?"

Svetora nods her head at Phehgoshl, showing her acceptance.

Dath Darkscar says, "My, Anair."

Dath Darkscar says, "You're correct."

Klayck nods his head sagely.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Were that true though you'd be pulling attention away from perhaps better information."

Dagu jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Svetora One-Eye says, "If Stephanie proves to be an assassin when lynched, we'd have some idea who to look at next."

Duke Endol says, "On the balance of evidence, I am inclined to suspect the Princess."

Anair Goldoak says, "It is a possibility, but she might also be innocent, and just not very smart."

Princess Stephanie says, "The assassins have the advantage. Some strategy is required on the populace's part."

Dagu the Dark says, "You do not add up, dear Princesss."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "I just can't see your actions as anything other than diversionary."

Tavora jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "I'm not sure it's strange the princess says she's the detective then recants?"

Dath Darkscar says to Cavri, "Eh?"

Svetora One-Eye says to Stephanie, "Your actions lack strategy."

Dath Darkscar says to Cavri, "Give us your wisdom."

Anair Goldoak says, "All we've managed to gain is a day of confusion."

Dagu the Dark says, "I am sorry, if you are innocent. But you have confounded us and brought this to yourself."

Princess Stephanie says to Svetora, "The detective will know with any luck."

You say, "Same as yesterday."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I will vote to end the madness."

Svetora One-Eye says to Stephanie, "Know what?"

Dirty Olgei says to Phehgoshl, "I'll be glad when this over."

Alarion jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Anair Goldoak says, "Let us at least move forward."

Svetora One-Eye says, "If you're a populace, you made them waste an investigation on you."

Kathyrin jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Broult jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "I just htink claming to be something then not holding it up is diversaionaary or a death wish."

Duke Endol says, "You will either be brought to justice as an assassin or revealed as a martyr, Princess."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Opps. sorry."

Svetora One-Eye says, "If you're the lunatic, you're trying to protect yourself early."

Endol jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.

Olgei raises an eyebrow at Kathyrin.

Alarion the Horseless frowns and says, "I just don't get what you are trying to do here."

Kathyrin jabs an angry finger toward Stephanie, voting to lynch her.
The populace turns toward Stephanie, shouting her name angrily. A furious mob forces her up to the gallows while she protests, terrified. A noose is looped about her neck and she barely has time to gabble out a prayer before the executioner pulls the lever, hanging her with a gruesome crack. Documents of citizenship fall from her pocket, revealing her to be a member of the populace!
A grand amethyst dragon turtle with lavender wings ponderously leaves to the ether.

It is now night two.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Heh."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Kill phehgoshl."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "That worked nicely yes."

(Assassins): Dath says, "Alright."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "And olgei, stop being useless."

It is currently night. You cannot lynch anyone.

Dath withdraws his dagger and murmurs Phehgoshl's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dath departs for Phehgoshl's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Oh be nice."

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Phehgoshl's name under your breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for his home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I helped lynch the princess."

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Phehgoshl's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Phehgoshl's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I'm a slave to peer pressure."

The Portal of Fate flashes as Selev steps through, now ready to begin a fresh life in Lusternia.

(Assassins): Dath says, "Am I doing well?"

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Phehgoshl's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Phehgoshl's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Dath says, "Any tips? I'm not exactly a veteran at Vengeance."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "You're both making youselves REALLY obvious."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "And who hasn't voted."

(Assassins): You say, "1 person has not voted."

(Assassins): Dath says, "What would you suggest Holorei."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I'm thinking."

It is now halfway through night two.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Vote."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Go."

(Assassins): You say, "Make it fast or we will have no kill again."

Olgei sheathes his knife and creeps back to safety, resolving to assassinate no-one this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "What on Nil. VOTE."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Oh seriously we have to have unanimous vote. Bah."

Olgei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Phehgoshl's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Olgei departs for Phehgoshl's home, ready to slay him this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Yes, we must be united."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I liked him."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "A pity."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Well, they all need to die if they aren't us."

(Assassins): Dath says, "I hope the lunatic doesn't get me."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "If he remains the last one standing I'll haunt him forever."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "I guarantee I've worse luck than you."

You feel that night two will end imminently.

(Assassins): You say, "Looks like the killer may not be killing tonight, they are taking a long time."

As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Phehgoshl, an innocent member of the populace, strung up against the fountain, a knife still sticking out of his chest. He has fallen victim to the assassins!
As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Anair, an innocent member of the populace, sprawled across the ground, strangulation marks visible around her throat. She has fallen victim to the lunatic!
Iytha leaves to the ether.
Phoebus leaves to the ether, emanating an aura of immense power.
The darkness follows Phoebus and her fleeing steps to the ether.

It is now day three.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Cavri shouts "Oi!" at the top of her voice.

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Svetora blinks.

Dath sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid asks, "Seems the Killer is aiding the Assassins now?"

Rommo creases his brow in a frown.

The sun reaches the zenith of the firmament, pausing in his quest to allow the land to bask in his shining golden rays.

Alarion the Horseless says, "The killer is just killing."

Svetora One-Eye says, "The killer aides himself and no one else."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "I doubt the killer cares."

Klayck creases his brow in a frown.

You say, "Hmmm, we lost 2 more of the populace. The killer acts for their own interests."

Alarion the Horseless says, "There are more populace than assassins, so the odds are higher for getting them."

Rommo the Runt says, "Intentional or unintentional they got the desired effect."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "Olgei sorry about that vote. It was a complete mistake."

Dirty Olgei says, "Damn. They got Muddy."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "The only way the killer wins is if everyone else dies assassins included Ithink."

Dagu the Dark says, "They would not, it makes our lives harder."

Klayck ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Though the choice of the assassin was odd."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "That was a bit suspect, Kathyrin."

Svetora One-Eye says, "The Killer wins if the assassins take us out."

Dagu sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Alarion the Horseless says, "The killer wins only if the assassins and the populace take each other out, leaving the killer with one assassin standing."

Svetora One-Eye says to Broult, "What was?"

Dirty Olgei says, "What happens if the lunatic wins."

Comprehension flashes across Cavri's face.

Dath Darkscar says, "Everyone else loses."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Everyone else dies."

The Mantle of Starlight shimmers and twinkles as the starlit darkness that it is formed of continues its eternal motion.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "I'd like to know how it would be suspect? Since it could in no way have had any strategic effect."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Voting for Olgei, versus Stephanie."

Dirty Olgei says, "Eh?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Though she was right, why call it suspicious?"

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "One vote would never have changed anything."

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Just seemed something out of the blue."

Rommo the Runt says, "One vote can always make the difference."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "It was. I have slight brain damage."

Dirty Olgei says to Broult, "What was?"

Alarion blinks.

Svetora blinks incredulously at Kathyrin.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "It can, but not given the other votes."

Dath Darkscar says, "Slight...brain damage."

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "I fall down sometimes."

Dath Darkscar says, "How unfortunate."

Dirty Olgei says, "Is she the lunatic then?"

Dath Darkscar says, "I'm certain that isn't a quality your erstwhile suitor will care about, so don't worry."

Dath smiles at Kathyrin and his eyes wander up and down her body.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "He could catch me."

Svetora gives a pained sigh.

Alarion jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Svetora One-Eye says to Dath, "Is this the time?"

Dagu the Dark says, "And off-focuse we get again..."

You give Alarion the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Dagu shakes his head.

Dath raises an eyebrow at Alarion.

Svetora tilts her head curiously at Alarion.

Svetora One-Eye says to Alarion, "Your reasons?"

Dagu tilts his head curiously at Alarion.

You say, "You are awful quick to accuse someone that has had nothing weighed against them."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Keep your eyes to yourself."

Duke Endol says to Alarion, "Have poor manners become a reason to kill?"

Defensively raising his hands, Dath backs away from the situation slowly.

The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across Svetora's lips.





Dirty Olgei says to Endol, "I've known nobles to kill for less."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Depends on how upset the lady is."

Dath Darkscar says, "My apologies. It..ah, isn't the time, as Svetora said."

Dagu the Dark says to Endol, "Loaded question, dear Duke."

"Hmph!" Alarion snorts.

Alarion the Horseless says, "Apology accepted."

Duke Endol says to Olgei, "The worst of our class, perhaps. They disgrace the rest of us."

Alarion rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

You say, "No, a loaded question is "Does this robe make me look fat?""

Svetora One-Eye says, "Unless, of course, he merely does it to distract us."

Dirty Olgei says, "Have some human decency about ye."

Dagu gives a pained sigh.

Rommo the Runt says, "Technically, a loaded question is the one that floors you."

Duke Endol says to Dagu, "Explain yourself, please? I do not think I quite see the question's implications."





Rommo the Runt says, "But back to serious matters."

Dirty Olgei says, "We don't really have anything to go on, do we."

"Ummmm," Dath says uncertainly.

Svetora One-Eye says, "We've the actions of us all throughout the last several days."

Svetora glances around.

Dath looks about himself suspiciously.

Dirty Olgei says, "Yes and what have they told us?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Those who've been loud and those who've been quiet."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "There might very well be, but it involves taking a risk."





Svetora One-Eye says, "Going to sleep involves a risk these days."

Dath Darkscar says, "Well, life is nothing without risk, yes?"

Dath ponders the situation.

Dagu the Dark says to Endol, "I'll explain at our leisure when we're not all dead. Or, if we do not act, when we -are- dead."

Endol nods his head at Dagu.

Feren suddenly loses focus in his eyes and shudders, then looks curiously refreshed.

It is now halfway through day three.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Our numbers dwindle. To wait is dangerous, though we can but hope that in time the real detective will work."





Svetora One-Eye says, "But if the assassins stumble upon him or the protector..."

Dagu the Dark says, "Now then, what have we to work on. Anyone willing to play the Princess' daring game more successfully with real information?"

Bringing her wings closer around herself, Nolomra Silverplume says, "I have seen many things perched high atop my roof, and revealing this will bring me danger not only for me, but for those I name."

Svetora blinks.

(Market): Orabel says, "Seeking dingbats for gold or credits. Send me your best offer!"

Dagu tilts his head curiously at Nolomra.

Continuing the hunt for his dark mate, Father Sun presses forward in his journey, lowering himself in the sky yet still casting even, full light upon the land.

Dath urges Nolomra onwards.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "But Alarion and Dath both were within Phehgoshl's manse the night she was slain."

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid asks Nolomra, "What have you seen?"





Svetora One-Eye says, "A new claim it seems."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Well, I'm the blocker."

Dirty Olgei says, "Dath. That name again."

Dath Darkscar says, "I'm the bl-."

Dath stares implacably at Alarion.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Yes, let's just brandy about more roles than we have protectors, hmm?"

Alarion the Horseless says, "I'll note that I blocked Olgei on the night that the Assassins did not kill, as well."

Svetora sucks thoughtfully on her teeth.

Alarion the Horseless says to Dath, "Yes, you wait until I say who I am, and then copy it."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Well done."

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Alarion jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Well then, this is a gamble."

Dath jabs an angry finger toward Alarion, voting to lynch him.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Then we do have one way to test Alarion's words."





You give a pained sigh.

Dirty Olgei says, "I'll buy you a horse if we get through this Alarion."

Dath Darkscar says, "I blocked Stephanie the night before."

Svetora One-Eye says, "If Alarion speaks falsely, he dies tomorrow."

Rommo creases his brow in a frown.

Klayck nods his head at Svetora.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "But either way, both will die by tomorrow."

Dath gives a pained sigh.

Dath Darkscar says, "A pity."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "And I will seek refuge in my eyrie."

Dirty Olgei says, "What's the verdict then?"

Holorei scratches his head in confusion.

Alarion the Horseless says, "Kill Dath, prove me right, then I die overnight since Nolomra will be protected. But at least it will be one more night for you all to survive."

You say, "If Alarion is the blocker then he has likely sealed his fate, since the Lunatic may well choose to go after him themself too."





Dath Darkscar says, "The same. We are both dead, regardless."

Duke Endol says, "And if we have proof that Alarion is speaking the truth, we know who to lynch next."

Dath Darkscar says, "It's a pity."

Ruffling her feathers, Nolomra Silverplume says, "I apologize."

Svetora jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Klayck jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Nolomra jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Lady-In-Waiting Kathyrin says, "What proof would it take?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "A pity, yes, but we must know who speaks the truth here and who lies."

Olgei gives a pained sigh.

Dagu the Dark says, "As cliche as it might be, death is inevitable here."

Endol jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Dath Darkscar says, "I would have liked to have had some time with Kathyrin."

Broult jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Dath shrugs helplessly.

Alarion looks up into the air for divine inspiration.

Holorei jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.

Rommo jabs an angry finger toward Dath, voting to lynch him.
The populace turns toward Dath, shouting his name angrily. A furious mob forces him up to the gallows while he protests, terrified. A noose is looped about his neck and he barely has time to gabble out a prayer before the executioner pulls the lever, hanging him with a gruesome crack. A bloodstained dagger falls from his pocket, revealing him to be an assassin!
Marcella leaves to the ether.

It is now night three.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Whoops."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Oh well..."

(Assassins): You say, "More credits for us if we win."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "If yes."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Kathyrin."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Is a good mark."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Let's give this a bit more thought ok."

(Assassins): You say, "Note that the detective and watcher are both alive, we do NOT want to target the blocker yet."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "We don't have time."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "We can't keep doing it on the seat of our pants."

(Assassins): You say, "So Alarion is out for the moment, leave him to the assassin."

(Assassins): You say, "Erm killer I mean."





(Assassins): Dagu says, "At this point it is good we've reasonable knowledge of who's who. Let's see if the killer helps us."

It is now halfway through night three.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Fine let's kill Kathyrin..."

(Assassins): You say, "I vote Nolomra."

Motes of rubescent light shimmer across the Golden Belt of the Enlightened briefly, lending the effigy of the Guardian Drachou about Viynain's waist the appearance of dancing amongst flames.

(Assassins): Olgei says, "Nolomra is what they'll want."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Someone pick. the rest will follow."

(Assassins): You say, "No, the blocker is what they will be hoping for."

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kathyrin's name under his breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Kathyrin's home, ready to slay her this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kathyrin's name under his breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Kathyrin's home, ready to slay her this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Kathyrin's name under your breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for her home, ready to slay her this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.





Olgei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Kathyrin's name under his breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, Olgei departs for Kathyrin's home, ready to slay her this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Let's hope this doesn't bite us."

(Assassins): Olgei says, "I blame Holorei if this fails."

You feel that night three will end imminently.

(Assassins): You say, "And hope the lunatic doesn't get lucky."

As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Kathyrin, the detective, strung up against the fountain, a knife still sticking out of her chest. She has fallen victim to the assassins!
Feren leaves to the ether.

It is now day four.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Dirty Olgei says, "...holy-."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Well."





Svetora winces in pain.

Nolomra's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Dagu blinks.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Alarion, who did you block."

You say, "Blah, lovely. We lost our detective."

Rommo the Runt says, "Bah."

Dagu the Dark says, "That... well..."

Alarion the Horseless says, "I blocked Olgei, but I already know Olgei is -not- the lunatic."

Cavri Mesiayo, the Wise says, "That's di heartening."

Nolomra creases her brow in a frown.

Dirty Olgei says, "Of course I'm not. I'm dirty in body not mind."

Svetora One-Eye says to Alarion, "How do you know that?"

Duke Endol says to Alarion, "But you said that you blocked him when the assassins did not act? So he is likely an assassin?"

Alarion the Horseless says, "I suspected him of being an assassin since I blocked him that night, but that only works if that is the assassin who actually did the kill."

Shadows grow longer in anticipation for the return of their dark mistress as Father Sun's chase brings him closer to the world's edge.

The Mantle of Starlight shimmers and twinkles as the starlit darkness that it is formed of continues its eternal motion.

Svetora nods her head emphatically.



Nolomra Silverplume says, "How do you know he is not the lunatic? The lunatic did not kill."



Alarion the Horseless says, "It is possible he is an assassin, yes. He is not the lunatic, because the lunatic killed the first night I blocked him."

Svetora One-Eye says, "What of Kathyrin? Who did she defend, and who did she accuse that we did not lynch?"

Rommo the Runt says, "Do we know who killed her?"

Comprehension flashes across Svetora's face.

Nolomra shakes her head.

Dirty Olgei says, "Hmm."

Rommo the Runt says to Nolomra, "Did you see anything?"

Alarion the Horseless says, "Kathyrin accused Olgei."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Remember?"

Nolomra Silverplume says, "I was watching Alarion to see who would try to kill him."

Dirty Olgei says, "She accused Dath and someone else."



You say, "The only way we would know is if the watcher was watching one of the assassins."



Holorei Swiftwing says, "Kathyrin also admitted her mistake with Olgei."

Alarion the Horseless says, "No, she said she had brain damage."

Alarion the Horseless says, "And used that as an excuse."

Holorei Swiftwing looks skeptical and says, "Uh."

Duke Endol says, "On the balance of evidence, that seems more like a hint than a mistake."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "You blocked Olgei before and the lunatic has killed?"

Alarion the Horseless says, "Yeah, it does seem like a hint."

Dirty Olgei says, "She said two names along with Dath remember."

Alarion the Horseless says, "I blocked Olgei two nights. The first night I blocked Olgei, the assassins did not kill and Olgei did."

Nolomra blinks.

Alarion the Horseless says, "Sorry. The assassins did not kill and the Lunatic did."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "So Olgei is the lunatic?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Who did she say along with Dath?"





"What?" Nolomra asks curiously.

Klayck Rokke, the Frigid asks, "This is confusing...is Olgei the killer or not?"

Dirty Olgei says, "It was because him and someone else was in her manse remember?"

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I think he is saying Olgei cannot be the lunatic."

Dagu the Dark says, "Wait wait. Alright, repeat more coherently."

Rommo the Runt says, "I'm trying to figure the same."

Alarion the Horseless says, "I've said many times, Olgei is -not- the Lunatic. Period. He could be an assassin."

Klayck nods his head emphatically.

Rommo the Runt says, "Explain the logic one more time."

As the sun passes below the horizon's edge, Mother Night unveils her terrible, shadowy beauty, spreading darkness across the land.

Dagu the Dark says, "I believe I follow it, but Nil if I can explain it..."





Svetora One-Eye says, "That was Alarion and Dath in the Manse."

Alarion the Horseless says, "There are four assassins remaining. Only one of them actually can kill. Thus, the correct one has to be blocked. They pick amongst themselves who is sent to perform the murder."

Dirty Olgei says, "Hold on."

Dirty Olgei says, "Nolomra said Alarion and Dath were within Phehgoshl' manse the night she was slain."

Dagu the Dark says, "Yes."

Dirty Olgei says, "And dath turned out to be an assassin."

Dagu the Dark says, "Quite."

Duke Endol says to Olgei, "Indeed. I fail to see the relevance."

Dirty Olgei says, "Partners in crime."

Rommo the Runt says, "They both claimed to be blockers, we killed one and he was the assassin."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Dath an assassion, Alarion the blocker."

Holorei Swiftwing says to Olgei, "That...is not how it works."

Svetora One-Eye says to Olgei, "How could they be partners? But one assassin kills."





Alarion the Horseless says, "I blocked Olgei one night. On that night, the Lunatic killed, the assassins did not. Thus, my belief is that Olgei is the assassin who was sent to murder that night."

Svetora gives Olgei the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

Dagu the Dark says, "It confirms Alarion's story, as much as it can be."

Duke Endol says to Alarion, "It is either that or that they decided not to kill at all, correct? The second option seems unlikely."

Alarion the Horseless says, "Last night, I blocked Olgei again. The lunatic did not kill (for some reason), but the assassins did."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We have no detective. We may need to act on what our blockers and watcher can give us, even if it's not perfect."

Alarion the Horseless says, "And the detective accused Olgei."

Alarion jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Alarion the Horseless says, "But did not wish to out herself."

Dirty Olgei says, "Oi when did she do this?"

Rommo the Runt says, "And as no one else has claimed to be the blocker, we must assume Alarion is the blocker."

Alarion the Horseless says, "When she claimed she bumped her head."

Nolomra jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Svetora jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Klayck jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.





Duke Endol says, "And then Olgei is spewing what seems to be nonsense, which is likely a defence."

Dirty Olgei says, "You aditted yourself she had made a mistake."

Dagu jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Rommo jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.

Endol jabs an angry finger toward Olgei, voting to lynch him.
The populace turns toward Olgei, shouting his name angrily. A furious mob forces him up to the gallows while he protests, terrified. A noose is looped about his neck and he barely has time to gabble out a prayer before the executioner pulls the lever, hanging him with a gruesome crack. A bloodstained dagger falls from his pocket, revealing him to be an assassin!
Donato leaves to the ether.

It is now night four.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Told you he was being obvious."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Well this is going... something. Still a chance for us."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Endol?"

(Assassins): You say, "Nolomra. It is a risk, but we can at least take out the watcher, the only way we will be stopped is if the blocker gets lucky."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "They have a protector, no?"





(Assassins): Holorei says, "Yes, they do."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "So that's a big risk."

Shadows swirl around Xenthos's arm as the Fingerblade of dha'Wyrden-cree shifts and turns around his hand.

(Assassins): You say, "The protector is protecting one of the two. Alarion or nolomra."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "So go after someone else. We are dwindling rapidly."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "We may want to stay away from those we know have roles. Try to hit the protector."

(Assassins): You say, "Endol then, yes."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Endol seems as good as any."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Okie doke."

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Endol's name under your breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for his home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Across the heavens, the stars and moon challenge night's dark reign, revealing familiar constellations that tell the tales of myth and legend.

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Endol's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Endol's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Endol's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Endol's home, ready to slay him this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

You sneak into Endol's home and twirl your knife idly between your fingers. Approaching him in his sleep, you allow yourself a cruel smile before driving your knife through his sternum with a satisfying snap of bone and a spray of crimson blood. Dragging his still-warm corpse into the square, you revel in the fact that your government will be pleased at the death of another citizen.
As you approach the square the following morning, you are horrified to see the dead body of Alarion, the blocker, sprawled across the ground, strangulation marks visible around his throat. He has fallen victim to the lunatic!
Portius leaves to the ether.
Xenthos, riding Ilistala, an enormous leopard, leaves to the ether, emanating an aura of immense power.

It is now day five.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Svetora winces in pain.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Are blocker periches."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Klayck is the killer."

Svetora coughs softly.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Perishes."

Cavri shouts "Oi!" at the top of her voice.

Nolomra jabs an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.

You nod your head emphatically.

Svetora jabs an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.

You say, "Nolomra has been reliable thus far."

Broult sucks thoughtfully on his teeth.

Svetora One-Eye says, "She has."

You jab an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.

Rommo jabs an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "I know my protector, so you need not reveal yourself."

Dagu jabs an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.

Broult jabs an angry finger toward Klayck, voting to lynch him.
The populace turns toward Klayck, shouting his name angrily. A furious mob forces him up to the gallows while he protests, terrified. A noose is looped about his neck and he barely has time to gabble out a prayer before the executioner pulls the lever, hanging him with a gruesome crack. As his hands fall open, you note strange, telltale callouses upon them, marking him as the lunatic!
Unicron leaves to the ether, emanating an aura of immense power.

It is now night five.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): You say, "Perfect. Now we just need the protecter, we KNOW that nolomra is being protected."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Cavri?"

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Sure."

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Cavri's name under your breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for her home, ready to slay her this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Cavri's name under his breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Cavri's home, ready to slay her this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Cavri's name under his breath, marking her for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Cavri's home, ready to slay her this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

You sneak into Cavri's home and twirl your knife idly between your fingers. Approaching her in her sleep, you allow yourself a cruel smile before driving your knife through her sternum with a satisfying snap of bone and a spray of crimson blood. Dragging her still-warm corpse into the square, you revel in the fact that your government will be pleased at the death of another citizen.
Faragan, riding an exalted ivory and gold dragon, leaves to the ether, emanating an aura of immense power.
A small, delicate glass angel glides off to the ether.
The ivory radiance is dimmed as an exalted dragon departs with majestic elegance.

It is now day six.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Nolomra creases her brow in a frown.

Svetora winces in pain.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Our numbers dwindle."

Rommo creases his brow in a frown.

Dagu the Dark says, "That was... terribly quick."

Rommo the Runt says, "We have to get this one right."

You say, "The assassins are getting more bold."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Nolomra, do you have more news for us?"

Dagu tilts his head curiously at Nolomra.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "I was watching my protector to ensure that they were safe."

Svetora blinks.

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Svetora One-Eye says, "But your eyes can not protect him or her."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We need them on the others, to know if they act or not!"

Dagu the Dark says, "It would reveal a killer."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "But our mob would have given them vengeance."

Dagu the Dark says, "If they get him."

Tavora Skypiercer says, "So what should happen.."

Rommo the Runt says, "Do we have any previous clues to go on?"

Dagu the Dark says, "But, it relies on luck and narrows your gaze."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We need information more than pure vengeance right now."

Holorei scratches his head in confusion.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "If she was killed, then I would have seen the assassin."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We have three assassins, and four populace. Nolmura, can you speak for any besides your guardian?"

Nolomra clears her throat.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Or, he, as it were."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "I cannot, I am afraid."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "All others that I have seen sulking around have been slain."

You say, "Keep in mind that if she watches someone there is still a small chance that she may see them killing. It is luck of the draw sadly."

You say, "Unless I am getting watchers the wrong way around..."

Dagu the Dark says, "It is playing luck against luck, with lives as stakes."

Nolomra nods her head affirmatively.

Dagu the Dark says, "So what can we do?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "We will lose another in the night. If we lynch incorrectly as well, they assassins will outnumber the populace."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Trying to sort things out. These names confuse me."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I don't foresee a strategic move forward, but only to review any suspicions."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "I can nominate someone not my protector, but that would make them a target to both sides."

Svetora One-Eye says, "And then the assassins win."

Svetora creases her brow in a frown.

Svetora One-Eye says, "But they win at equal numbers too, don't they?"

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Do they win tonight if they slay one of our own?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Which means if they kill tonight, they win, unless we take one out now, I think?"

You say, "As far as I am aware they win as soon as they have the majority remaining."

Rommo the Runt says, "If we slay our own, yes."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Someone correct me if I understand wrong."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Is it majority, or an equal number? Equal number, I think."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I believe equal."

Nolomra Silverplume asks, "Assuming we did not lynch someone right now and they killed one of our citizens, do they win?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "I think so."

Svetora creases her brow in a frown.

Rommo the Runt says, "There are eight of us and only three assassins."

Dagu the Dark says, "I'm not sure."

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Unless the protector got lucky."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "No. They won't. I don't think."

Viynain mutters and traces the glowing symbol of a rose before him. He smiles as the rose floats towards him and enters his chest, making him somehow look much more attractive.

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Oh wait, yes. Only 7 left."

Svetora blinks.

Holorei Swiftwing says, "I thought we had 8."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "The assassins win when their remaining numbers equal us."

Holorei nods his head at Nolomra.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Do we have seven or eight?"

Dagu the Dark says, "There are eight though?"

Rommo the Runt says, "Eight."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "The awkward news."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Ah, pardon. We have eight."

Viynain shimmers into existence before you.

Viynain mutters and traces a glowing circle before him. He steps through the circle and suddenly vanishes from sight.

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Is that it takes 5 to lynch."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "There are 8 of us. 3 assassins."

Rommo the Runt says, "Have to remember to count yourself."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "And there are only 4 townies."

Dagu the Dark says, "So if we kill wrongly and they kill... then they win, yes?"

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Ooooh."

Svetora One-Eye says, "So if we lose two, there will be three and three."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "Well this is confusing."

Dagu the Dark says, "Or..."

Svetora One-Eye says, "And they will win."

Svetora One-Eye says, "So we can not lynch."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "When they kill one of us, it will be 4 populace to 3 assassins tomorrow."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Unless we know the right name."

Rommo the Runt says, "Yes, they win if we lynch wrongly and they kill."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Then we must pray that you see something tonight, it seems."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Yes."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "5 townies. Gosh my math is terrible."

Svetora rubs her chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Dagu the Dark laughingly says, "Such a headache."

It is now halfway through day six.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Tonight we must pray that my eyes see much."

Nolomra rubs her chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

You say, "I'm banking on Nolomra seeing something tonight."

You rub your chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Hmm."

Viynain waves his arms before himself and suddenly his body becomes blurry and out of focus.

Dagu rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Pray to your Gods."

Viynain fluidly waves his arms about his body and you notice that with each pass pieces of misty-purple phantom armour are revealed.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "For I am only mortal."

Rommo rubs his chin thoughtfully, glancing about before voting to lynch nobody.
The day has come to an end and the gallows remain empty; no-one has been lynched today.

It is now night six.

As the sun is swallowed by the earth and the stars begin to appear, you proceed home, racing against the darkness to settle into your bed, silently praying to see morning.
You wake up in silence and sneak away to decide who should die tonight.

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Okay."

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Well this is going well."

(Assassins): You say, "We need to vote carefully, if we survive 2 more rounds we win."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "So, slip of the tongue when she called protector female?"

The following roles remain:
  3x Populace  - populace
  1x Protector - protector
  1x Watcher   - watcher
 (3x Assassin)

(Assassins): Holorei says, "She'll be watching the protector again."

(Assassins): You say, "Means it is tavora or svetora."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Then we may wish to avoid females."

(Assassins): Dagu says, "Rammo or Broult, we have to kill someone."

It is now halfway through night six.

(Assassins): You say, "Someone call for a coin toss?"

(Assassins): Holorei says, "Okay rammo."

You flip a golden sovereign up in the air and watch, mesmerized, as it spins rapidly through its arc. It hits the ground and you see that the heads side is facing up.

(Assassins): You say, "Rommo it is."

You withdraw your dagger and murmur Rommo's name under your breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, you depart for his home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Dagu withdraws his dagger and murmurs Rommo's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Dagu departs for Rommo's home, ready to slay him this night.
This decision will not be acted upon unless it is unanimous.

Holorei withdraws his dagger and murmurs Rommo's name under his breath, marking him for death. Grinning cruelly, Holorei departs for Rommo's home, ready to slay him this night.
A unanimous decision has been reached.

You sneak into Rommo's home and twirl your knife idly between your fingers. Approaching him in his sleep, you allow yourself a cruel smile before driving your knife through his sternum with a satisfying snap of bone and a spray of crimson blood. Dragging his still-warm corpse into the square, you revel in the fact that your government will be pleased at the death of the protector.
Jinx leaves to the ether.

It is now day seven.

The sun rises in the distance and you climb warily out of bed, dressing quickly and approaching the square as another day of deliberations begins.

Svetora creases her brow in a frown.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Nolomra?"

Nolomra shakes her head.

Dagu creases his brow in a frown.

You crease your brow in a frown.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "Ouch."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Then who have you watched who has not made a move?"

Nolomra Silverplume says, "The bait I cast did not bring anyone."

Nolomra Silverplume says, "And they found my protector."

You say, "What are we going to do..."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We die this next night if we do not find one to lynch."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Who have you seen not act?"

Nolomra Silverplume says, "So I am next, and I watched Tavora, who has done nothing."

Tavora Skypiercer says, "I am innocent."

Nolomra nods her head affirmatively.

Svetora sucks thoughtfully on her teeth.

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Luck must be depended upon now."

You say, "If we choose correctly, we get a stay of another round. If we choose wrong, we lose."

Holorei Swiftwing says, "So who do we take the leap of faith with."

Dagu the Dark says, "Nolomra is proven, so she is... safe for the loosest sense of the word. And she vouches for Tavora."

You say, "I'm not willing to take the choice and be responsible for our downfall, I'm sorry. I'll let someone else make that judgement call."

Broult ponders the situation.

Svetora shrugs helplessly.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "I would say, Nolomra choose?"

Svetora jabs an angry finger toward you, voting to lynch you.

Broult the Thick-furred says, "If we have nothing further to go on."

Nolomra purses her lips, deep in thought.

Dagu the Dark says, "I would follwo Nolomra's lead."

Holorei gives Svetora the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

You say, "Why me? I think I have been quite reliable in my deductions."

Svetora One-Eye says, "I would say if you've no guts to lynch, you might as well die by our hands instead of yours."

Dagu the Dark says, "Follow, rather."

Svetora One-Eye says, "We die tonight if we do not act. Think for yourself."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Though I will follow Nolombra if she chooses differently."

Dagu the Dark says, "And we die if we chose wrong."

You jab an angry finger toward Svetora, voting to lynch her.

You say, "I think you are wanting to force a vote so you win."

Svetora One-Eye says, "Barring myself, of course. Do pardon if I don't follow you in lynching myself."

Holorei Swiftwing says to Svetora, "You based your lynch off of Nin not knowing?"

Svetora One-Eye says, "Assassins win tonight no matter what!"

Nolomra jabs an angry finger toward Svetora, voting to lynch her.

Dagu the Dark says, "How... defeatist."

Svetora One-Eye says, "If we do nothing, we do. So yes, if Nolomra will not speak, I will take those who vote for no action!"

Nolomra Silverplume says, "Svetora is my choice."

Svetora One-Eye says, "It is numbers."

Tavora jabs an angry finger toward Svetora, voting to lynch her.

Svetora One-Eye says, "Not defeat!"

Dagu jabs an angry finger toward Svetora, voting to lynch her.
The populace turns toward Svetora, shouting her name angrily. A furious mob forces her up to the gallows while she protests, terrified. A noose is looped about her neck and she barely has time to gabble out a prayer before the executioner pulls the lever, hanging her with a gruesome crack. Documents of citizenship fall from her pocket, revealing her to be a member of the populace!
Eliron leaves to the ether, emanating an aura of immense power.

The assassins have stealthily eliminated every citizen in the Ruins of the Vengeful and won the Vengeance game!

Celina, the Heartless Queen says, "Alright..."

Eliron's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Donato rasps hoarsely.

Enchanting Songbird, Lyethal Silverwolf, Keyll Arrane says, "Fehh."

Celina gazes at Eventru with love and adoration.

Donato throws his hands into the air and gives a loud, "WOO!"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Far more likely is We would stuff you into one of the folds of Morgfyre's skin."

Maellio claps his hands together merrily.

Celina pumps her fists in the air to rally the troops.

You say, "Whee!"

Provost Zyphora Windwhisper, the Gilded Iris says, "That was the best Vengeance game I have ever witnessed."

Zyphora claps her hands together merrily.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to Celina, "No thank you."

You bow respectfully to Eventru.

Lord Eliron Shee-Slaugh, Maestro of the Lament says, "Well played, Assassins."

The terrible cacophony of a thousand discordant voices exclaims, "Very well done, assassins!"

High Priest Viynain Erid'in says, "Talk about stressful."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says to Celina, "You are most certainly not Our type."

Celestial Crythor Iytha says, "Eww."

Marcella smiles and shakes Celina's hand, offering her congratulations.

Celina gazes at Fionn with love and adoration.

Avatar Faragan Diluculo, of the Pious Father says, "We can send tells intothe game room? that should be blocked I'd think."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Well done, Celina, Maellio, Kagato!"

Magnificus Maellio Onz'Verheu, Penumbral Observer says to Eliron, "Sorry brother, you made such a lovely last kill."

You say, "I hope you do not think my deception against your teachings. I simply play to win."

Celestial Crythor Iytha says to Faragan, "Clantells and messages." (Something that the admins may wish to take note of!!)

Invictus Baron, Donato Sinclair claps politely for the winners.

Feren flings a tarot to the ground. Upon contact, it explodes in a great flash of technicolor light.
You vaguely make out a large, square doorway of light and see Feren step through it.

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Marcella cheers wildly!

A fiery scarlet thunderbird trots in with head high, butting Unicron gently with her head.

Librarian Portius Windwhisper says, "Well done, indeed."

Ecclesiar Rami says, "That was very intense! Thank you for the show."

Celina, the Heartless Queen says, "Lovely, two games won."

Lord Eliron Shee-Slaugh, Maestro of the Lament says to Maellio, "Yes, a pity the rest of the populace didn't listen then."

Unicron easily vaults onto the back of a fiery scarlet thunderbird.

Eliron's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Marcella congratulates Maellio with some wild clapping.

Marcella congratulates you with some wild clapping.

Enchanting Songbird, Lyethal Silverwolf, Keyll Arrane says, "Didn't help we lost two by random happenstance."

Celina gazes at Morgfyre with love and adoration.

Lady Kelly McCloud says, "Gosh Alondal. Way to make everything confusing!"

Jinx Dawneye says, "Well done."

Alondal shrugs helplessly.

Magistrate Phoebus Windwhisper, Shaper of Systems says, "Congratulations to the winners."

(Celest): You say, "Woohoo!"

Celina, the Heartless Queen says, "Seems I am a Mistress of Vengeance, both the physical and the mental."
