The Settlement [Concluded]

[Andres]

I would advise the town to focus on lynching usurpers...

It's amusing that you didn't say that when I was about to get lynched.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It's amusing that you didn't say that when I was about to get lynched.

You were actively killing people...pisuf has not been...and I think he should be got rid of. We should probably lynch him once tomorrow and vote on a duel that we think should be held, then maybe hold off on the second lynch if he targets who we want.

Actually I think the time has come for everyone to claim a duel score. That way if they have an unusual score the will have to lie, and if they refuse to duel then that will bring them to our attention, and if they do duel they might get revealed. This would have worked well for CA and Ares...no guarantee it will work for those who remain of course.

[Andres]

You were actively killing people...

You said that we should focus on the usurpers now. Is that because there now is a guilty result on you?

I think we should lynch you first. After all, maybe you ARE an usurper? With a guilty result and all. As a townie, I wouldn't think twice and would lynch you.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

If you lynch me, I shall only become more powerful.

[Andres]

If you lynch me, I shall only become more powerful.

So town should let you run around the place with the word "guilty" written all over you?

And follow your advice on top of it?

Sasaki : Hi townies, I'm Sasaki. I'm evil and guilty and I'm going to kill you all!
Townie : Oh no! Let us lynch ourselves to get rid of this evil man!

Just my

How do we lynch a dead man?

[Andres]

Uhm...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Uhm...

rofl...

but anyway...my side goal was to get tincow lynched, which I put aside when asked to privately for the good of the town. He had a similar side goal, despite claiming he doesn't have one....but now that we're both dead I think he should drop it but he seems to be in full roleplaying mode so whatever. I'd prefer input from the rest of the town on who they think is guilty, but it's hard to get in thread evidence from this game.

[Yoyoma1910]

Sorry I've been a bit inactive...

[Reenk Roink]

In the dark of the night, a man who was a little grizzly looking walked the streets. Given his attire one would think he was a beggar in search of food with nowhere to go. Yet the man who was a little grizzly looking determinedly followed a set course to the tent of the commoner who called himself a count named Arach.

Inside, the common count Arach worked on his pottery wheel, his back turned to the man who was a little grizzly who had just entered. At this moment the man who was a little grizzly threw off his tattered robes revealing a shining suit of bronze armor. He pulled out a masterwork sword and exclaimed: "Pisuf! You have done enough harm to the world, but now you are no longer an immortal god. It is time to test your mortality against The Watcher!"

The common count called Arach simply laughed and said: "Ok then."

At this point, the common count Arach transformed into a giant towering over nine feet tall. The Watcher was clearly unprepared for this sight, he had not expected Pisuf to retain so much power after his fall. Yet after a few moments of amazement, The Watcher steeled himself and nimbly struck Pisuf with his sword, chopping his forearm off cleanly.

Pisuf merely grimaced and cast a spell making all the clay in his tent swarm The Watcher. Once it had enveloped him, it began to harden, but The Watcher shattered the clay with his sword and broke free.

A monumental struggle took place initially but Pisuf soon wore down The Watcher who seemed a bit rusty in his combat skills. Finally, Pisuf was able to gain a step on his opponent and hurled a fireball into The Watcher face, blinding him. Pisuf then put out the flames by smothering The Watcher's face with clay. Pisuf then chopped off The Watcher's clay encased head and put in the kiln and fired it. Moments later when it exploded, Pisuf joyfully remarked: "Foolish me, I forgot to press out all the air bubbles in the clay."

A voice in a tent far away could be heard exclaiming: "YES! I AM FREE! HAHAHAHAHA! IFFO IS FREE!"

In the morning when the headless body of The Watcher was brought to Reenk Roink, the priest king bitterly wept over the death of his closest companion and friend. Covering the body with his cloak, the priest king Reenk Roink looked up with puffy red eyes at the settlers and said: "Douse my grief with justice or else it will become anger and it will be directed towards you..."

All the settlers quietly nodded except Jolt who laughed out loud and fell on the floor, obviously inebriated.

Actually, I really didn't, but I fully understand why you wouldn't believe that. I wouldn't believe it if I was you.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Huh. No kill from the usurpers. Pisuf kills "The Watcher"...I guess grizz thought he could take out pisuf? Anyway...we ought to lynch countA. Lynch jolt...roleblocked and no kill, detective result, etc.

And who in the name of klefy is iffo??? This game is amazing...

[Yoyoma1910]

I, the all seeing eye of Osi Osi, have a better idea:

You once again prepare the night vigil to OsiOsi, and in your gratefulness for being free from Pisuf, offer a most excellent sacrifice.

The sky god quickly inspires you with the true nature of the man named Jolt:

On my left I bring a line of water and on my right I bring a line of fire.

Vode's mystical saying

You are Vode's Wand

Background:

It is true that the god of wars and foreign peoples has bestowed the most power on Vode's Sword, but you are indeed his most trusted servant.

True to your god's portfolio, you are a foreign sorcerer of immense power. Vode has sent you to accompany his agents to ensure that both the earthly empire is carved out for Vode's Sword and that enough blood is spilt on the earth for Vode. For the true reason behind this plan is for Vode to kill OsiOsi and replace him as the king of the gods!

It all starts with disposing this pathetic little priest king Reenk Roink.

Battle Rating:

6 - You are diminutive in stature but your very presence makes people wary as it emanates power. You are one of the most skilled in the use of magic, and your spells can cause terrible damage.

Abilities:

Kill: Every night period, you may attempt to kill one settler. With your powerful magics, you have many avenues of murder at your disposal.

Victory Conditions:

Outlast the settlers (usurper victory)

Public Role:

If thou ever feeleth the desire to striketh another, restrain thyself and burneth a pound of meat to OsiOsi. He will allow thee to bed the wife of thee enemy.

A priest's sermon

You are a Priest

Background:

There are a two prerequisites for becoming a priest:

1) Being old
2) Being a virgin

After that you can worship the gods all the time instead of just on weekends!

Battle Rating:

1 – Devoting yourself to the rituals of the gods leaves little time for military training. The strongest man is the one with the strongest faith as you say.

Victory Conditions:

Outlast the usurpers (settler victory)

What an excellent reward for your faith!

[FactionHeir]

Hmmm our sorcerer didn't kill tonight and Jolt was found drunk.....I wonder.....

As for the Watcher, looks like my side objective was fulfilled in death why thank you Pisuf.
It is rather worrying though, that he is immune to night kills and will even kill the killer...

[FactionHeir]

Thanks Yoyo, just as I had thought, as I had asked our role blocker to block Jolt tonight after he seemed a bit too eager during our PM exchange to get TC killed.

[TinCow]

Now we're getting somewhere. Both Jolt and CA need to be disposed of. However, since one lynching will not remove CA, it would be better to do Jolt first. That way we'll have a maximum of 1 death tonight.

Good work!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

oh right...no vode kill...jolt blocked...*smacks self*

huh...4 people with investigative powers so far...a roleblocker, a doctor, 2 masons, and only 3 mafia? Understandably pisuf is a tough nut to crack, but I have to wonder if that's all the bad guys there are. Maybe this "Iffo" character will give us some trouble.

[Yoyoma1910]

That's Yoyo Master, to you.

[FactionHeir]

Hmmm btw, how many OsiOsi priests do we have anyway....

[Yoyoma1910]

Don't know, I only know of myself.

5 actually. The Watcher could investigate too. He was the one who found Andres. This game is indeed role heavy, and the balance seems to be that some of the investigators had to eliminate other investigators.

[GeneralHankerchief]

CA is innocent. Kill Jolt.

[Reenk Roink]

I love all this speculation!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

CA is innocent. Kill Jolt.

If CA was being truthful, the game should be over when we lynch Jolt, yes?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Maybe. Considering Reenk, there's probably a few more usurpers out there somewhere. But Jolt should definitely be lynched immediately.

The role pm only mentions vode's sword...but says agents plural. Now it's been said that Andres was a lowly pawn of the vode agents.

VV I was counting him as that...since his fake pm was "edgar's sword" and the writeup said he was an agent of vode. So what I'm concerned about with "agents" is that the wording indicates that jolt was being sent to help multiple people. Which would mean at least one other besides ares.

[TinCow]

Ares claimed he was a serial killer, but that's the only proof we got of that. He could well have been Vode's Sword.

[Lord Winter]

I thought we decided that Ares was most likely Vode too. (posted same time as tincow)

Vote: Jolt

Known enemies first, then those in doubt,

[Yoyoma1910]

Vote:Jolt

[Askthepizzaguy]

There is time enough on the clock to eliminate CA. Jolt on the other hand, rubs me the wrong way. He was uncooperative and "didn't trust" me even after I protected his identity as best I could. I believe he didn't want to volunteer much to the pro-town network but wanted to benefit fully from it.

I think I still have the PMs somewhere, but I cannot repost them, unfortunately.
