Swords and D20's, Small Mafia Game [Concluded]

http://wzpo1.ask.com/r?t=a&d=mys&s=a...F8-Bit-D-D.jpg

It was a very generic day in the town of Townie-ville, tucked away in the Obligatory mountains in the southern area of the Kingdom of Nowhere. Of course The kingdom of Nowhere is bordered to the south by the Nasty Dictatorship of Anywhere at all, and the people of Nowhere always feared that Anywhere at all would try and destroy them. So The town of Townie-ville was a buffer zone, lead by the Great Archmage named Achoo, who kept the peace and assured that nothing happened out of the ordinary. Of course then one day everything went wrong....... PC's arrived!!! And that can only mean that something plot related is about to happen! And lo and behold, the next day (insert Generic name here) was missing! his floor bloodstained and his body seemingly lost. Achoo was noticeably disturbed, and so he has called together all of the NPC's with more than one line of dialogue In Townie-ville to help root out these would be Invaders from the Dictatorship of Anywhere at all. May you all pray that the PC's save your unimportant butts! (or not :beam::beam:)



Well everyone welcome to my first Mafia game. This is my first time doing this so be kind of patient with me. I am going for a Roleplayinggame-esque vibe if you cant already tell :beam:, as a major DND addict this is my attempt at partially getting ready for my large game. Such as testing out a new role('s) I think may make the game more fun.

I realize many of you will not get the jokes, so bear with me..... :bow: I will try to make this as fun as possible for EVERYONE, role players or not.

A sample Townie Role PM:

Hello (insert generic NPC name here)
Level 1 commoner
Alignment: NG (Neutral Good)

Sorry man, you are a NPC, you exist simply for the purpose of providing amusement for the Mighty PC's. And are completely expendable. Ohh did I mention you aren't important? I did? Ok then, well its true twice over. You are a Level 1 commoner, a NPC class so weak a cat literally has the ability to kill you. But if you are lucky you may just live through this whole mess we like to call a "plot" and help the PC's out in the process!

(I have now finished the Arduous task of Editing this page about 20 times, adding and deleting things, which may have left you all a bit confused. Sorry about that.... :sweatdrop::sweatdrop:)

count me in... i thought the next small game would be Beskar's...Did yours get bumped up the list?

Apparently, GH sent me a PM saying I was up due to the next three games being postponed due to conflict or something.

Beskar, Chaotix, and Greyblades all can't host right now. CDF is the lucky man of the hour. :yes:

In.

In.

I shouldn't, but I really can't say no to some D20s.

:charge:

There we go, much better picture. :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

By the way when I say Insert generic NPC name here I literally mean that is there name :tongue:

Wowzers. Makes me wish I was higher on the list! :laugh4:

In if you need me, replacement if you don't.

I was kind of suprised, was not expecting to have to do this for a while..... :sweatdrop: but I already had most of it ready on my computer, so things worked out fine.

This one sounds like it should be fun, I'm in. :2thumbsup:

I have had four roles in a row with no night abilities, some night-time fun would be nice. Hint, hint.:wink3:

:yes:

:bow:

:no:

I would join this, but sadly I can't for the same reason why I can't host my own game- I am going on vacation next week.

Why not? IN

Alright, I'm in.

D and D, for free? Im IN (want to play a Thief/Warlock/Barbarian powergamer).

In :yes:

Place me as a replacement, but if you are in need of players, put me on the play list.

My term tests start in a week or so, so high activity levels beyond that isn't really guaranteed :no:

Im in

Getting close. Just three more!

In if it's still available!

Alright, I will give things 9 or so hours but after that I will send out Role PM's and start the game.

Well i guess you will need me. I'm trying to get Diana to sign up too.

It looks like My replacements are going to have step in, I am going to start sending out Role PM's as soon as The dice gods decide who's who.

Very well... just don't expect much activity/ thought process at all. I'd most likely be lurking, with 5 games that I'm participating in already :sweatdrop:

This calls for a greater reorganization of my schedule :dizzy2:

To the mafia when you are chosen, please kill me first, :bow:

:laugh4:

Ok then, All role PM's are out

Start Day 1 It will end July 31st 7:00 PM EST (or around then.... :sweatdrop:)

A few rules I may have forgotten
You can quote PM's but no screenshots
Post mortem: no Quoted PM's or reveal of Night actions, other than that say what you want.
Level plays an important part in determining if a Kill attempt succeeds or fails. :bow:


thats about it.

Forsooth, I do believe that it is a most vexing dilemma. Who amongst shall us sow evil and discord across the land? I shall close my eyes, and use my quill of writing +1 to magically choose a name for me.
Vote:Death is yonder

Hello adventurers! Where might you be headed today?

:laugh4::laugh4: Thank you Tratorix. Writeup commencing.

End of Day One

The People of Townie-ville gathered on that first day, Many throwing there votes randomly about with little regard to finding the invaders. Many wove deep back stories of their life before the plot. Slowly people got an idea of who each other was, and in a show of humanity a flood of No Lynch votes began. The dice gods called from on high to keep the Tally, and Lo the tally was kept. And through it all Achoo sat on his great throne with an amused look in his eye, overjoyed he would not have to immolate a Townsman today.

"I am glad of the choice you have all made. I only hope that you have not made a mistake that will get us all killed." With that he rose from his throne and took his staff in hand "This days talk is officially over, perhaps we will be closer to finding these invaders tomorrow. I just hope that when we awake we have not lost more from among us."


Final Vote:

No Lynch:6 (atheotes, TheFlax, White_eyes :D, johnhughthom, Death is yonder, Tratorix)

johnhughthom: 1 (FactionHeir)
Askthepizzaguy: 1 (Yaropolk)
White_eyes :D: 1 (Beskar)

Abstain: 6 (Askthepizzaguy, Reenk Roink, spL1tp3r50naL1ty, Quintus J.C., Khazaar, A Very Super Market)

yayyy everyone voted! :laugh4: I hope this means I won't have to WOD (Wrath of Drizzt) at any point :inquisitive:......

Why would FH, Yaropolk, or Beskar vote for anyone before night actions took place? :inquisitive:

Better have rolled a 20 that forced you, or else you look mighty suspicious...

3 hours and I am missing quite a few possible Night orders

Night One


Haley was slinking her way down Townie-ville’s streets when A dark and Mysterious Figure slipped in behind her. She continued walking down the road intent on getting to her destination.
“Well, What do we have here!!!!!” the Figure cackled evilly. “A surprise round that’s what!”
Haley jumped and turned to face the cloaked figure “Wait a minute, that isn’t fair!”
The figure cocked his head to the side “wait, What?”
Haley put her hands on her hips “I didn’t get a spot check! You can’t say it’s a surprise round if I didn’t get a spot check!”
The figure sighed “just my luck, I pick a metagaming PC as a target….. Fine just roll your spot check……”
Haley pulled a small d20 from her pouch, she rolled it on the ground and nodded. “HAH! I got a Natural twenty! That means no surprise for you!” She pulled her longbow from her back, nocking an arrow and pointing at the figure. “And I just won initiative! SNEAK ATTAK!” The arrow thudded into the figures robes pushing him back a step, but he remained standing. “uhhh oh” Haley said, feeling the first signs of dread in her throat. Where was Roy when you really needed a meat shield?
The figure reached down to the arrow, seeming annoyed “Guess what? Now it is my turn.” He pulled the arrow out from him and started muttering over it. A green light began to dully shine at its tip. “M(copyrighted)’s Acid Arrow!” The arrow flew from his hand. Haley desperately threw herself to the side, And the spell hit the ground where she had been standing, The arrows tip began to pump forth an acid, Causing a thick acrid smoke to rise from the ground.
Haley gulped “Double uh oh.” She Ran of down an alley, her bow thrown to the side in a mad dash to get help. Exactly sixty feet later her attacker began swiping his arms out to the side, taking a small piece of Bat Guano from his spell pouch. “And now……. FIREBALL!” A small Golden bead flew out towards the retreating Rogue hitting the ground right at her feet.
BOOM!!!!!
A huge fireball engulfed Haley, to her plaintiff cries of “Evasion! EVASION!!!!!!” The fire petered out as fast as it began, leaving behind the charred corpse of Haley……
The Hooded Figure Cackled once more before saying one last thing “One down.”

Haley the Rogue (TheFlax) is dead



Quintus was happily moping up the floor near the Broken flagon Tavern when he was approached by 2 young emo teens wearing Long Black robes. Kids these days Quintus thought back in my day we didn’t have all these Teens in black just Galumphing around town……
The teens whispered to each other before one spoke up “sooooo uhhh are you like Quintus?”
Quintus’s brow furrowed “why yes I am son now what the heck do you want?”
The teens smirked a bit then took out a pair of Small Daggers “Well…… we kind of want you dead.”

Qunitus’s eyes widened and he jumped backwards using the mop he had in hand as a makeshift Staff. “then bring it ON!!!!! I clawed my way to the top in this town and I am not going to have two teens ruin it all! Did the Rusty bucket send you? Well take this back to whoever hired you!” He leapt forward smacking one teen in the head.

“OOOOOWWWWWW!” he fell backwards and the other teen lunged forward dagger outstretched. It hit Quintus’s side but he simply swiped the mop and sent the dagger flying.

“SEE! I can take anything you can dish out!” he swooned slightly from the wound on his side, but still ran forward against one of the teens.

“wait why are we using daggers?” they both said, and wicked grins spread across there face’s. They both began muttering and raised there hands in the air. A bolt of Force flew from each of there outstretched hands, hitting Quintus and stopping him in his tracks.

“OK that was pretty good.” Quintus swayed for several seconds but kept on moving forward, the Mop held in his hands like a deadly weapon “But I am not dead yet!”
The teens looked at each other and started running down the street “Master did not say killing NPC’s would be this tough! Forget this!”

Quintus has fought off his attackers.


In the morning Achoo called all of the Townies back. His face was grim "Things do not look good, I hope we can find these invaders before more have to die"

Kill me then.

I should totally made that reflex save! :clown:

ahh for the record I mean 8 PM tomorrow, not 8 AM. Seems to have caused some confusion. I will be indisposed latter tonight so I moved the night phase up to around 6, but It should not happen again. :bow:

Punks... ~:smoking:

I presume the boss himself and a two (wo) man goonsquad who probably have to team up to kill. I guess that´s what we´re facing, three people, two kills per night...

CDF himself said that he was missing a lot of PM's so there are probably a lot of roles in this one, and that would be on top of Khaazar's 3 Mafia suggestion.

QJC is most likely innocent. Not only by the attack, but the writeup suggested he was a just an NPC barman (a tough one at that, gives hope to us NPC's)

Vote: FactionHeir for being one of the people who voted for somebody last night. Want extra kills? :inquisitive:

By the way, I think Beskar might be a jester doing a really bad job trying to get lynched. :clown:

Vote: Tratorix

Random Vote to get the stones rolling.:juggle2::juggle2:

vote: Reenk Roink

Beskar told me to do it. :clown:

Vote: Reenk Roink

White_Eyes:D told me to do it. :clown:

Metagaming at it's finest. :rolleyes:

Man...lynching people over such crappy reasons...:clown:

Vote:abstain

Vote:Factionheir

Lame reason for lynch vote in first round.

Vote: johnhughthom :whip:

I explained my reasons last night - I don't want to spend the rest of the game trying to transalte ATPG's cockney accent into something legible. Focus on people's reactions to the writeup instead of 1st day blind votes.

Vote: Reenk-Roink

P.S. My vote should count as 2x for capturing the coveted third spot on the bandwagon!
:2thumbsup:

Edit:

P.P.S. Tratorix bumped me off the third spot =(

*sniff* I am touched by my community's defense against that scoundrel. Have a round on me all at the tavern.

I didn't start a bandwagon on FactionHeir last game (Mongolica)? I almost save his life actually.

Unvote, Vote: Tratorix for lying

I'm getting killed because I was the first one man enough to vote and people mad from other games because I exposed them... :shrug:

Tally:

Reenk Roink 5 (ATPG, Beskar, Tratorix, Yaro, FH)
Tratorix 2 (DIY, Reenk Roink)

I'm the only one who seemed to react to the writeup, you lot are just gunning on a bandwagon (some accusing me for bandwagoning :rolleyes4:).

Also, it makes sense to be suspicious of people who want to do an unnecessary lynch...

You're making a mistake town, I wouldn't protest so much if you weren't...

Ok then, Things seemed to have winded down.

End Of Day 2

Another day dawned, with the previous nights murder weighing heavily on the minds of many..... Reenkis Roinkis quickly feel under suspicion, to start with in a almost comical manner, but latter turning into something more diabolical. It soon became clear it was he who would be fried to a crisp. He realized it and began edging his way to the back of the group, his eyes shifting. Achoo tallied the votes and rose from his throne.
"Well, it appears today we have all decided on who must be dealt with. Where is Reenkis Roinkis?"
The crowd parted leaving a very agitated Reenkis standing all alone. He sighed and snapped his fingers.
"you can't win them all I guess" Black robes flowed out around him, and he was soon back in his wizards attire. "Now we shall measure the might of my dark necromancy against your own power! Prepare for a gift from Anywhere at all!" He lifted his staff and from its tip flowed a lightning bolt!

Achoo stood firm, and the magical spells of resistance held against the storm of Lightning. "Is the best you can do? I have had dozens of duels during my life foolish Necromancer. and I learned something important."

The Necromancer looked puzzled "what?"

"Never use a spell with an energy type that can be blocked with a simple Resist energy spell." With that he held his hands out and yelled a command word "Force substituted Fireball!" a small clear bead sped from his hand, flying towards the Necromancer
"Wait.... is that even a legal choice with energy substitu....... AGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" The bead hit and expanded into a orb of ripping force, tearing the Necromancer to bits. The other townies in the room were thrown back by the spell. But when it all ended Achoo still stood in front of his throne.

"Well I am glad that is over with. Good job people of Townie-ville, but do not become arrogant, there are yet more invaders on the loose."


Tally:

Reenk Roink 5 (ATPG, Beskar, Tratorix, Yaro, FH)
Tratorix 2 (DIY, Reenk Roink)
FactionHeir 1 (Johnhughthom)
