View Full Version : Citadel of Alamut [Concluded]
November 1256 AD,
The invasions of the Mongols have driven thousands of refugees from all places to form into groups, seeking safety and protection. One such group, the Orgahs, people from all different backgrounds and nations of the earth, were starving and thirsty in the sun-scorched desert of Iran. They were pursued by Mongols, led by the terrifying Hulegu Khan. Who were they, in this position, to refuse the shelter of a seemingly abandoned fortress, with a unique water supply and walls to rival Constantinople or Antioch? Lured by safety and water they entered the Citadel of Alamut.
But it was not deserted. Within cellars and secret rooms there were men, trying desperately to conceal themselves, some claiming to be servants, others shown by their actions to be assassins. The Mongols, despite the impregnability of the castle, layed siege and stipulated their conditions:
'The Orgahs will be allowed to leave, if all the Assassins are handed over to the Mongols.'
It seemed like relief, but the post script revealed otherwise.
'However, I cannot depend on your judgement, or honesty yet. You must be tested, your skills of perception and war measured. I have sent a number of my spies amongst you once I knew you would reach this place before me. Every night, they will kill some of your number, and every day, you may execute one of your number. Only one. I hate cheating. Once they are all killed, you will be allowed to leave, and the survivors will be given rewards above their station. I will trust your judgement on which of the people here are assassins, and which are servants once this has been done.
Also, your martial skills will be tested to the limit. Every now and then, I will send a champion to face one selected by your number. If three of your champions are defeated, I will launch an attack. I do not see why I should wait here in the sun if I can simply storm the place. Be warned, as time goes on, my patience will run out.'
He did not believe they could pull off the coordinated skills and judgement calls needed to lynch all of his spies before they killed all of the townies, nor to select and find among their number Champions who could face the Mongols. But the Orgahs were no ordinary people, and among their number were more men of importance than Hulegu Khan had ever guessed possible.

Basic rules of Conduct:
No quoting PMs, either privately, or Chat logs, privately (in chat, by PM) or publically (in the thread). Ditto translating then quoting. Paraphrasing PMs, or quoting from in this thread/the information thread or past mafia games is fine.
Dead may not PM or discuss PMs.
No multiple accounts. If I find someone is using these, they will be WOGGED for certain.
Voting is not necessary, participating is. People who post very little or very insubstantially (e.g. post a spam post once every round and say nothing linked to the game) will be wogged.
Please don't spam the thread. A little banter is fine, but excessive spamming and 'empty' posts will be punished.

Game Rules:
Basic mafia:
Every night phase, the Mongol spies will kill some of your people.
Every day phase, you have to vote on one person to lynch.
The number of spies will be linked to the number of participants.
Advanced:
The Roles:
Most players will have a special role, of some kind, and unique/differentiated victory conditions. Even the Mongol spies will be varied.
The Champions:
On days 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, a Mongol Champion will be sent to face a man elected by the townies as their own champion. The results will be decided on by a combat system. The loser will be killed. If three of these challenges are lost, the Mongols will invade. This will be very bad for the town.
The Weapons Store:
There is a store of weapons in the fortress. It is operated mechanically, and a player must pay some of the little money he has saved into a receiving slot to get the weaponry, equipment or armour he wants. Gold may be gained by looting the body of a Mongol champion, or by killing people. A per turn bonus is being considered, but isn't likely.
Fighting:
Every player has set fighting skills, from 1-10, at the start of the game. By certain actions, they may increase these fighting skills and gain proficiency with different weapons. They must gain the weapons in question to use these proficiencies, though. Some players will start with weapons. Others will be less fortunate. Certain weapons will be triggered and granted to players by certain events. Some of these triggers may be shown beforehand, others may not be.
The seven weapon proficiencies are: Bow, Mace/Staff, Sword, Spear, Axe, Fist, Knife
There is at least one weapon for each proficiency available. Fist proficiency does not require a weapon to use but is fairly ineffective. I do not intend to turn the game into a number-crunching D&D type battle system. Combat will be relatively simple to understand. Anyone may kill using weapon skills at night. Suffice to say, this is a risky strategy.
Duels:
Three duels per round. Same combat system as not described fully above. Players may not fight more than one player in a round, nor may they make more than one challenge in a round. The player who triumphs in a duel will get a payment from the
---
Basic victory:
The town wins when all spies are dead
The spies win when all Orgahs are dead. A Mongol assault does not mean an automatic loss for the townies, but will certainly result in more trouble for them.
So, anyone interested? Fighting will be kept secondary to lynchings and spy kills. Special roles should be available for just about everyone, unless we get a really large number of participants, at which point they'll run out of originality.

Gah, I can't resist Org Mafia...
Duels aren't fatal. The game will be started when I'm ready. I'd be careful putting duels as standard in mafia. People don't need them in the games. For mine, I liked the martial tone and it makes it easier for the role variations. It also adds a little bit more trust and so on.
I'll be advertising a little more widely too first.
Can junior members post in the gameroom?

Weapons:
A weapon has three values: Type(sword, knife, axe/mace/staff, bow, spear, fist), Penetrative Power (1-10), and cost
A weapon of the bow, spear or axe/mace/staff types requires two hands to use.
Armour has two values: protection, and cost
Shields also have two values: protection, and cost
Combat system:
1) Weapons vs. Armour:
Take each combatant's armour values and subtract from those their opponent's penetration values. If the result is positive, the combatant gains that bonus. Having a weapon with excess penetration doesn't help.
2) Weapon types
Some weapon types have bonuses against others (bonus applied to fight value, not penetration). These are the bonuses/penalties:
Fist: no bonuses
Knife: +1 against Fist
Sword: +1 against knife
Spear: +1 against staff/mace/axe
Bow: +1 against axe/mace/staff, +1 against spear, -1 against shield
Staff/Mace/Axe: +1 against shield
A non-proficient fighter cannot make use of the advantages of his weapon type and also suffers a -1 penalty. Staff/Mace/Axe type weapons generally have the highest penetrative powers, fists the lowest.
After these bonuses have been applied, the fight is concluded by the highest of the resultant fight values. The town may get some information on the Mongol champions on the morning of battle, and will be able to pick their own champion accordingly.
Also, every day there will be some minor votable event.
E.g. Weapons crate discovered. One of the Assassin cult is found...etc.
Warmaster Horus
05-09-2007, 17:58
As for the new members, they have to ask Sasaki to give them the permission to post in the Gameroom.
In fact, they can't post in the whole "Miscellaneous" Section of the Org, except the Watchtower.
Now, the duel system sounds nice.
minor votable event
That means we have to vote to decide what event we want, or?
One of the Assassin cult is found
What kind of consequences would that have?

Both the Orgahs and spies have a number of the same techniques at their disposal.
Night actions:
Collect gold:
A mysterious vent in at the top of the highest tower of the citadel will produce 5 gold per night for any individual who goes to it. Unfortunately, this tower is a ridiculous distance from the sleeping quarters, and very difficult to climb, so you will need to take your entire night action to collect this gold. It will not save gold not collected, nor will it distribute it during the day.
Train with the dummies: Any individual may attempt to train alone with practise dummies for the night, if their weapons skill is under 5. This will increase their weapon skill by 1. This takes up your entire night action.
Train with another: An individual may train with any other individual. They may either each add +1 to their weapon skills, or each may learn a weapon proficiency from the other. This takes up the entire night action.
Attempt to kill with a weapon: an individual may attempt to kill any other individual using a weapon. This is worked out as standard combat, and the loser is killed. This takes up the entire night.
Assist a weapon kill: An individual may go to assist an attempted kill with a weapon. His skill negates an equal amount of skill in the protection attempts. This takes up the entire night.
Attempt a protection: Any individual may attempt to protect someone from kills. If anyone attempts to interact with a protected person at night, they will be stopped from doing so if their weapon skill (combined with that of their assistants) is higher than that of all combined protectors of that person (not including the defendants). Some interactions may not be stopped by protection. This takes up the entire night.
Buy an item: Any individual may buy an item from the automated machine in the armoury. This is a free action, and may be done in addition to another night action. The item may be used during the same night.
Day actions available to all:
Visit the bakery: Every morning you will be told whether the baker is prepared to allow you bread. If, for some reason, you are not given bread, your weapon skill will decrease by 1.
Vote: Typical mafia rules for this
Challenge: Every day you may challenge one other person.

Total - 20 alive. 1 night killed.
The icy, dismal morning is the first of death, and the body of Redleg lies at the doors of the armoury. 'Gentlemen?' The voice of Beirut the Wise sounded at the assembly. 'Redleg has been foully and cruelly slain. The Khan can't have been lying. We need to find these traitors and put an end to them. Select one from among you to be lynched. Now, something else we need to decide on: I have a plan to turn two of the Khan's champions against each other. We give them both backroom access. Or do you think it's a better idea to more conventionally attempt to take him out with a crossbow? Or would you prefer that we don't attempt anything? Anyway, get voting!'
Day 1 begins. 1 man to be lynched. Day ends at midday Saturday, man with most votes lynched.
Also, you must decide which of Beirut's plans to cause strife amongst the horde to endorse. Each will have an impact:
1) Give two champions backroom access
2) Attempt to take one out with a crossbow
3) Do not attempt anything.
Select by either Backroom, Crossbow or Nothing

And I must say, only 1 kill?
Not sure who to vote, but I do know that Backroom will at least give hell to the Mongols...
Backroom: 2 (Warmaster Horus, Tran)
Write-ups given to the killer and the killed. I feared that one would give too much information as to whether the killer was a vigilante townie or spy.

So, what would stop Redleg from posting it? Or sending it to someone trustworthy?
And, must I understand the lyrics are no clue whatsoever? If that's the case, dang.
I checked, King Crimson is a progressive rock/ jazz rock/ proto progressive metal group. Dates: 1969–1974, 1981–1984, 1994–present. Of course, it seems useless now.

He posted in KungFu Mafia that he had no internet, so I doubt he will be active ... but then, he's only one of many

Lynching Sasaki while he has no means to defend himself seems ... cruel, for an exagerated term.
Actually, lynching anybody in that case is cruel.

Didn't realise this had started,sorry.
Why would we want to choose backroom? The Spies/mafia can still kill,even if they hate eachother.
Wouldn't it be btter to take them out,then they can't kill!
I have no suspicions so far.
And just a little inquiry about Sasaki having no internet, how can he post on the internet when he has no internet?
So, what would stop Redleg from posting it? Or sending it to someone trustworthy?
The rules. Can't PM game-related material when dead.
And, must I understand the lyrics are no clue whatsoever? If that's the case, dang.
Yep.
I checked, King Crimson is a progressive rock/ jazz rock/ proto progressive metal group. Dates: 1969–1974, 1981–1984, 1994–present. Of course, it seems useless now.
Yep.

By that logic, no one would ever vote for anybody since no one would want to vote early in the game, no pressure on anyone would build, and this "logic" would repeat itself while the mafia snickered. Bandwagons are the ONLY useful tool in the early game (aside from a mafia mistake).

Vote: Sapi.
Came to me role-fishing, while, in his odd sort of way, claiming that he may have a pro town role. Gave me no other reason as to trust him. Seems to me like a mafia tactic to find out who the role players are. Sapi, if you've got a pro town role, reveal it. The town can band together to protect you from the mafia. Otherwise, you're scum who needs to be lynched.
Also, I vote to do nothing in regards to the Mongol Champions. I've got this fear that sending them into the backroom will somehow end up backfiring rather badly. And I don't think we'll be able to kill one, considering that this is a Mongol Champion we're talking about.

Anyway, I'd like someone, preferably Seamus, to explain about our possibility/chance of success of using the backroom tactic...I just want to hear your voice on this ~;)
I am not a bad guy :grin2:
gk is correct, however, in saying that I do need to reveal to have a chance of survival, now that he has unwittingly placed me in danger :wall:
I do have a pro-town role, and my PM exchange with gk (and others, sometimes through other means) was part of an attempt to find allies and the like.
To paraphrase my role (I cannot state it in full as to do so would be to put in danger my partner), I am a representative of the Mamluks, and am tasked to defend the townies, and in particular those with pro-town roles (some of whose identities I know, but will not reveal here).
I'm quite skilled with weapons (by my reckoning at worst the second best in the town), and would be a good choice to have around when the Mongol Champion arrives, seeing as my role is pretty much comprimsed already.
Tran's conversation with me was suspicious, hence me avoiding his questions; but seeing as I've been put in a bad position for the same thing, I'm not going to retaliate with my vote just now.

Are townies worth saving?If you think yes, then change your vote, because I think the mafia is hiding here.
Abstain is, I admit, no good, but how can I vote the spies without getting discution going?
I want to hear RoadKill opinion, since he said nothing, he just voted and nothing more.
Here's my thought so far:
There's only 1 kill in the first night, which mean:
- The rest of the Mongol spies didn't active at that time and fail to send their orders
- Together they attempt to eliminate one target to increase such possibility
I believe the first possibility was more likely to happened...

Yeah, this does sound about right. With the low activity levels, the first option does sound about right.
However, we shouldn't rule out the possibility that one of them is still amongst the active people.
The day is concluded. Write-up to follow.
Why has some of the lurkers in this game posted in other threads but have yet to vote or discuss in this game?
look to the lurkers - one who is normally active in the games yet is not posting in this one,.
Caius, after the vote determined his guilt, was dragged by the remaining townies to an enclosed courtyard.
'Caius, do you have anything to say in your own defence?'
'In fact, yes I do!'
'Well, it's dusk and we have no more time to hear it. Goodbye. Please leave, good Orgahs.'
He turned to see the mailed body of Hughtower on the ground. Blood poured from his neck. 'Not another!'
Beirut shook his head and decapitated Caius with his axe. 'Sleep well. Anyone I catch out and about tonight will be deaf from being shouted at in the morning.'
But he knew his words wouldn't stop the Orgahs from doing something.

The end of night is nigh?
For quite some days now I think
Deadlines six PM Tuesday.
It is now 8.07 PM Tuesday.
So I'm processing
All PMs sent. If you didn't get one, and aren't dead, please complain. If I screwed something up, also please complain.
Write up being done.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
The morning came as always, after a surprisingly hot night. At dawn, a group of horse archers ringed the walls, and launched arrows at the sleeping quarters. Lorenzo H was struck in the throat and killed by one such arrow, but apart from that, noone died this night.
In the early morning, Beirut, standing on the walls with a telescope, greeted the townies. 'The Khan hasn't made peace with us yet, so we obviously haven't lynched all the spies. However, thinking more positively:'
He turned the telescope to show the red eyes, angry expressions and furious thinking of two Mongol Champions. Each had obviously lost some sleep while finding suitably witty, sarcastic and biting retorts for the backroom.
Result: Champions 1 and 3 suffer -1 Skill.
'Today, gentlemen, we have a more serious matter to attend to. Using my ninja-lumberjack skills, I caught this man, who claims to be an Assassin. He has offered to show us one secret of their order if he is allowed to live.
Currently he has claimed to know how to unlock the armoury for free use, find the legendary green honey of the assassins, which supposedly can be used to train the mind, and also to double the output of the vent in the tower. Your choice, gentlemen.'
Place one choice from:
Execute to execute the slippery Assassin
Armoury to coerce him into unlocking the armoury
Honey to convince him to show where the jars of green honey are
Vent to ask him to double the income of the vent.
'I remind you of the value of testing your skills against each other. Challenges will be taking place in the square at dusk should they be issued.' Beirut stalked off, leaving the townies to make up their minds. The Damascened dagger is no longer in the armoury.

Which option to choose. The mind strenghing honey sounds like the worst, but i think it may give us a group of people, one of who is mafia.
Armoury seems like the worst choice to me, he'll probably unlock something else and run.
Execute, Honey or Vent?

Oh...and I decided my challenge was hastey so Unchallenge but I may rechallenge later
The mafia seem to have trouble killing people.
I'm still inclined to believe the mafia failed to send their orders and in-active...guys, look, among those inactive ppl only 1 being WOGGED...isn't that suspicious? I shall cast my vote on the in-active, I truly believe at least one of them is the evil Mongol spy...

As Sasaki has taught us, a bandwagon and not mere pressure voting is the surest means available to us to get a read on someone. I would, normally, vote Tran at this point. I will refrain because the initial vote was weakly promulgated. Tran, a vivid defense would still be nice.
Vote: Abstain
Tally:Tran-2 (roadkill, stig)
Abstain - 1 (seamus)
As to the 4 choices, I wouldn't try to over-think things. Orb is not going to play "gotcha" and punish us for a wrong choice. He is providing different routes which have inherent weaknesses and stregths.
1. Gold Vein: Always useful, speeds up item acquisition, but while helping us prepare to meet the champions (and possibly our individual acquisition goals), it does not change the basic "matrix" for finding the spies.
2. Honey: some form of mental enhancement -- increased information. Helps with the spy hunt, but does very little to prepare for the champions.
3. Armory: Direct access to cool weapons and armors, obviously helpful in fighting the champions -- but also allows the "bad'uns" access to advanced weaponry -- possibly enabling them to day-klll more readily by issuing challenges to "train up" for the champions.
4. Execute: One bad guy gone, direct value but no other info/advantage.
Choose: Honey -- I always crave information in games such as these.

Both of you voted for someone who's dead. That's either because you aren't paying attention or because you're mafia and thinking: "well abstaining is to obvious and Caius got lynched for that, so I'll just do a random vote." And you got caught with it. Now I'm going for the last one.
Since you were first to do it I voted you.

Right, I'm not sure this is allowed, but if any of you noticed this in Omanes' Miniture Mafia, Ignoramus rarely participates. Why would he participate in OMM and not in CoA?
I think we're making a mistake. Let him be wogged. That's the sensible solution I think.
And in the mean time, who do we remove instead?
I'm happy to change my vote, if you can convince me that someone else is a better choice...

Beirut sadly turns his head to the darkening sky,
'Well gentlemen, it appears that you have chosen to lynch Ignoramus. Ig, how do you plead?'
'Not guilty.'
'Orgahs, please avert your eyes.'
Ignoramus sat down and calmly waited for the axe to strike. But Beirut wasn't even paying attention to it. Behind the soon-to-be-executed man was the body of Count Arach. A bloody dagger lay in his hand, and his aketon was sliced open. His head lay on the floor a few feet to the side. Amazingly enough, noone had seen what happened. Beirut looked at Ignoramus, still waiting for the axe. He swung the axe, and walked away, leaving the body unburied in the middle of the citadel.
Beirut unlocked the Assassin's cage, 'Tell us where this honey is.'
'In the gardens, the well is filled with it.'
'Come with me.'
The lumberjack and the Assassin went to the well in the beautiful, elaborate gardens of the citadel, and the latter drew a bucket of some viscous greenish liquid from it.
'I see, and this is the honey that supposedly is a gate to paradise.'
'Yes.'
'Drink it.'
'What?'
'Drink it.'
The assassin placed his hand in the bucket and lifted it to his lips again, covered in the thick green honey. He tasted it, and after a few seconds he was obviously losing his senses. He thrashed around wildly, not caring for the pain of hitting an object. Beirut lifted him off the ground, 'I thought you said it helped the mind focus.'
'It brings heaven. It brings paradise. But paradise doesn't last, and once this well runs out, you will be prepared to do anything to get the ingredients, to get another fix...'
Beirut asked, 'How many is there honey for?'
'Nine people.'
'Alright. Anyone who's prepared to take the risk can try this tonight. I don't know what the side effects will be, and I am guarding it myself to prevent anyone from poisoning it.'
The assassin, suddenly lucid, slips out of Beirut's grip and runs towards the wall, climbing up loose stones. He makes it over, and a distinctive pair of thuds are heard from the other side of the wall.
New action (full night action - Drink green honey (12 left), unknown side effects)

Hmm...I think that I may have to commit suicide here. I really don't want to read through everything already said before and the game looks pretty complicated so I don't think I will be able to get everything quickly so that being said
I will commit suicide
Sorry about the delay, everyone. I'm on it now.
As the dawn came, Destroyer of Hope was patrolling the walls. Unfortunately for him, a pair of Mongol archers were circling the citadel. Both arrows struck true, and he fell from the wall to his death. Killf3nzy was struck by lightning as he stood watch on the walls at night. Greaterkhaan broke down into vomiting at breakfast and eventually was declared dead, poisoned.
Beirut greeted the citizens as the dawn arrived, 'I am sad to announce the deaths of three of our brethren, but we must live for the present. Find the spies. Hang them. I need one of you to take on the Mongol champion. Select someone. Also, gents, I want you to decide among yourselves who this box should go to. I found it in the courtyard this morning. It's quite heavily locked and contains a good deal of paperwork. The new owner will need to figure out how to deal with that himself.'
If you didn't receive a PM, PM me to complain. There are eleven doses of honey left.

Right. Well, this is what we knew would arrive, uh? A fight with a Mongol Champion. Who here thinks he has the best chance of coming out alive? That is, who has a weapon mark of around ... 10? I don't.
As for the box... I would volunteer for it. I'm gonna be free in a week to work it. If anyone else doesn't want to do it, I will.

06-16-2007, 02:32
~:mad Grrr, irritating. Who poisoned me?! Also, FoS on Warmaster Horus. Of course a Mongol Spy would want the box. That way he can mislead us about the information from it.
I'll take on the champion, if the town wills ~;)
pevergreen
06-16-2007, 06:52
I am not strong enough to fight the champion, but my skills do lay in other areas. I am good at things that dont require fighting.....
Warmaster Horus
06-16-2007, 08:38
That's a disguised way of saying "I want the box", right?

I'll let Sapi stand this time, though I'll willingly stand next.
I am also an info hound, so I would enjoy the box of paper.

Do we still have to vote for someone?

Do we still have to vote for someone?
I guess so... Except, no one seems to have any idea who to lynch.
There hasn't been enough discussion going on ~:(

Lynch Pann, folks. He hasn't played at all, and yet he hasn't been wog'd. Why? Because he's mafia, that's why.

And, because we just need to get someone.

Apparently. Orb? You still here? What's the situation?
He still is, but this is dead. I'm starting my mafia monday if this doesn't get an update before that
Yep, this is dead.
Sorry to the people who (may have) wanted this to continue, and those who put in the effort of sending their nightly PMs. The lack of activity hasn't really inspired me enough to keep this going.
Seamus Fermanagh
06-25-2007, 00:25
Sorry to hear it.
When time permits, an expose on your combat matrices and how you were guiding the game would be instructive to those of us who run the non-standard versions.
Thanks for your efforts.

Pevergreen, my friend, the twisted Khan has tied my fate to that of the Orgahs, and I can only hope that your talents as The Smith will be enough to pull yourself through. You win his mind game, and I win my freedom. You fail, and I die. I have heard that the Khan needs a new master smith, and you could perhaps impress him by forging a blade worthy of his status.
Use your talents wisely,
Brother John, prisoner of the Khan
Team: Orgah
Role: The Smith
Minor Goal: Orgah Victory
Major Goal: Orgah Victory and possess Blade of Mars at end
Weapon Skill: 4
Weapon proficiencies: Axe/Mace/Staff
Equipment: You have a Tabar Axe (penetration 3) and an Aketon (defence 1). You also have 12 gold.
Night actions available: Universal Night Actions. Strengthen a weapon. Repair armour. Smithing. Decorate a weapon.
Strengthen a weapon: Each night you may improve the penetration of a weapon by 1 or the defence of a suit of armour or shield by 1. This is a free action, provided that you are neither repairing nor decorating something on the same night.
Repair armour: Each night you may repair damage to armour or shield from pitch or naphtha attacks, or damage to a weapon from poison on the blade. This is a free action, provided that you are neither strengthening or decorating something on the same night.
Decorating a weapon: Each night you may decorate a weapon or suit of armour or shield to improve the value by a random amount of gold (2-10 gold). This is a free action, provided that you are neither strengthening nor repairing something on the same night.
Smithing: You may smith armours, shields and weapons into anything worth up to the collective value of the ingredients you are putting in. You may produce, as a full night action, any weapon, armour or shield for sale, plus the Arabic Great Mace, Bodkin Arrows (increase bow penetration by 2), Lamellar Armour, the Genoese Pavise and the Blade of Mars (if you have all the ingredients for it).
Remember: No PM/chat quoting, no discussion of PMs after death
As you try to leave your room at a quarter to midnight, you meet with an unpleasant surprise. The door is locked from the outside. You batter against it a few times, but it won't yield. Cursing, you get to work on the aketon, and carefully add a layer of leather onto the thick cotton armour. In the early morning, you ready yourself again, and after thirty or forty axe swings at the door, your arm is aching, and the lock has broken but it is too late to go to the tower now.
Pevergreen - The Smith. Weapon Skill 4/AMS. Tabar Axe, strengthened (Defence 2) aketon, 12 gold.
The door is unbarred tonight, and you are able to swiftly go up the tower steps and collect the five golden coins, each with the head of an Ismaili Caliph engraved upon it. A few hours of work on your axe improves the balance and functionality of it.
Pevergreen - The Smith. Weapon Skill 4/AMS. Strengthened Tabar Axe (4), strengthened (2) aketon, 17 gold.
Pevergreen - The Smith. Weapon Skill 4/AMS. Strengthened Tabar Axe (4), strengthened (2) aketon, 22 gold.
The tower's a long climb, but seems to be worth it. Five gold is already on the floor as you enter, so you take that.
The Smith. I like it.

Darn it, my first chance at a protown role, too. Also, am I the only one to think my role was ironic?
Greater Khaan, the Orgahs should look up to you, The Egyptian Royal Spy, for I have chosen you to save them from the Mongol scourge. The Orgahs have several excellent men, and you could even use their skills to assassinate the Khan
Use your skills to investigate each individual there, and then to set the guilty up for a lynch. I suggest that you at least partially work on your physical strength, because you would currently be an easy victim for a poisoner.
Aybak of Egypt
Team: Orgah
Role: The Egyptian Royal Spy
Minor Goal: Orgah Victory
Major Goal: Orgah Victory, and Assassinate the Khan (must be done at end game by encouraging the Orgahs to attack the Khan)
Weapon Skill: 1
Weapon proficiencies: Dagger
Equipment: You have a rimmed shield (Defence 2) and chainmail (Defence 5). You also have 2 gold and a Thief's Assistant sleeping draught.
Night actions available: Universal Night Actions. Investigate. Frame.
Investigate: Each night you may investigate a person as a full night action. You will gain up to three pieces of information.
You have a 20% chance of discovering whether or not they have yet committed a night kill.
You have a 40% chance of finding out exactly what equipment they have.
You have a 60% chance of finding out their weapon proficiencies and skill.
Frame: Each night you may attempt to plant evidence of guilt in someone's room. Anyone interacting with them that night will see the 'evidence' of guilt. This is a full night action. The target will learn that someone has attempted to frame him, but not you specifically.
