The Settlement: Information and Summary thread

**Reenk Roink** · 03-27-2009, 22:20

Day 5

The settlement was up in arms as serious charges were brought up against the man named Jolt from not one but two sources. The settlers were nearly unanimous that they had to get rid of him, but they also fretted about Pisuf and this new figure named Iffo. Many also wanted to fight a man named Blackadder who was apparently the captain of something..

At length, the priest king Reenk Roink emerged from his temple complex, alone (do you really think he would dishonor The Watcher and his wife?). He called for Jolt who was already well tied up. Reenk Roink had his Bronze Companions point their loaded bows pointed at Jolt due to the allegations that he was the sorcerer of Vode. The priest king began to interrogate the doomed Jolt, and while initially the sorcerer of Vode simply stared grimly, he soon began to open up, glorifying Vode and noting that even if the agents of Vode were foiled, the plan of Vode was still in effect.

One Bronze Companion, terrified at a movement Jolt made, prematurely fired, which led to a cascade culminating in the sorcerer of Vode being skewered with arrows.

As dawn rose from her slumber the settlers saw that, for the first time in a long time, there were no murders! There was much rejoicing, although everyone had to be careful to avoid the pools of vomit left by the captain of something named Blackadder who apparently had a long night of hitting the sauce.

The party was ended as the priest king Reenk Roink emerged from his temple complex and announced: "While there were no murders today and it does seem that the usurpers have been foiled, there are still loose ends that have not been tied up. So go and tie them up!"

Day 6

As the sun retreated to rest, the votes were tallied. The common count named Arach was the overwhelming choice for lynching, as it seemed quite clear that he was Pisuf, yet the settlers were more occupied with speculating on the Iffo character.

Before the execution however, there was to be a fight. The common count named Arach had challenged a man named Taka, who claimed to be a very tough merchant. Some speculated that he was Iffo. With another duel being withdrawn at the last moment, the stage was set for this battle.

The common count named Arach calmly walked up on the field but Taka was much more hesitant and unsure. The common count named Arach spoke first as he transformed from a small potter to the towering giant that was Pisuf: "Enough with the games, let's see how powerful you really are merchant!"

Taka took some time to respond but eventually swallowed his fear and himself transformed into a fearsome looking winged demon, seven feet tall. He boldly replied: "You may be powerful Pisuf, but you are still a shamed god, while I am free!"

Pisuf laughed as he watched the transformation and said: "Ah, good, it is Iffo. You know, you should be thanking me from freeing you from your contractual charity. How much of your treasures were you forced to give away again?"

These taunts infuriated Iffo: "SILENCE! My rage is such that I would be able to overcome you even if you were in your full glory!"

Pisuf laughed even harder: "It really makes me wonder how a mere human like The Watcher was able to trick you. Didn't you once claim the title 'Lord of Deceit'?

Iffo had heard enough and he pulled out two giant swords and rushed towards Pisuf. The party god merely continued to laugh and teleported behind Iffo right before the demon was able to strike.

Pulling out a sheet of papyrus and a quill, Pisuf taunted: "Hey Iffo, can you sign here please?"

Iffo screamed in anger and began to cast a spell which soon had daggers of flame circling around him. Once again he rushed Pisuf who merely created a cloud that would hover over Iffo's head and pour rain.

"Come now Iffo," said Pisuf, "at least The Watcher did a mediocre job in his attack. This is really a brutal performance. No wonder The Watcher was able to enslave you. I suppose I'll kill you now and spare you any further embarrassment."

With this Pisuf cast a spell which turned Iffo into solid gold. He then sent a burst of energy towards the petrified demon who shattered into many pieces which flew all over the field. Pisuf smirked and said: "Even in death the demon still gives."

...

The settlers, the Bronze Companions, and the priest king Reenk Roink watched the duel in awe. Once Pisuf had won, the priest king ordered everyone available to grab anything of use as a weapon and surround the god.

Pisuf laughed and addressed Reenk Roink: "Priest king, are you really foolish enough to try and execute me? Do you really think you and your toy soldiers can stop Pisuf?"

The priest king Reenk Roink stammered in his reply: "You may still be dangerous god of the arts, but rest assured that you cannot prevail against our numbers."

Pisuf was about to reply but then stopped. It appeared that some unknown entity had interrupted him. Pisuf lost his supercilious tone to one of annoyance as he argued with this unseen "hard*** as he referred to it. Suddenly, Pisuf was raised into the sky and went out of sight, screaming "Nooooooooooo!"

Pisuf was brought to the Divine Forest and stood before the king of the gods. OsiOsi said to him: "As we agreed, I have spared you from the mortality of your situation, and now I am no longer obliged to protect you anymore. You will return from whence you came and serve the rest of your sentence, or die trying..."

At this moment, OsiOsi stopped Kefy from dealing a fatal blow to Pisuf. Pisuf grinned at the goddess of the earth and then looked at Vode and said: "Hiya Vode, things aren't looking so hot eh?"

Vode coolly replied: "My plan has not been foiled yet, and do pray that you do not live to see the day I reign triumphant..."

For the second morning in the row the settlers woke up to find that no killing had taken place. As they met the priest king Reenk Roink in the gathering hall, he told them: "Do not lose vigilance, finish this once and for all!"

Day 7

As the sky dimmed, the settlers had once again overwhelmingly decided that the common count named Arach who really was the god of arts and parties Pisuf would have to go.

However, the captain of something named Blackadder was still weary about the suspicion thrown against him realized that the only way he would be cleared was through a duel. This time, the captain of something named Blackadder proactively made the challenge to Seamus Fermanagh, which the latter accepted.

As the two men walked to the field, the somber looking captain of something named Blackadder addressed his opponent and the settlers at large: "I do not blame you for being suspicious of me or accusing me. I am but a humble servant of the gods, but given the trials and tribulations we are placed in, it is not surprising that it should come to this. I hope that my death shall end at least one avenue of distraction from our real quest to find the usurpers and any other threats. We must accomplish this goal as to get back to our devotion of the powers.

The captain of something named Blackadder then turned to the priest king Reenk Roink and praised him. Reenk Roink offered the captain of something his sword. The ever humble priest Blackadder politely refused and reminded the priest king that a sword made for kings should only be wielded by kings. Blackadder settled on a finely made sword, but he seemed to have no experience with the weapon whatsoever, handling it with disgust and fear.

Seamus Fermanagh on the other side, was kicking his sheep away from him as he got ready for the battle. He wielded a crudely crafted club. As the signal went to start the battle, Seamus Fermangh ran towards a motionless Blackadder, nearly tripping several times on the way. As they engaged themselves, Blackadder tried to deflect the flails of Seamus, and the only reason the pitiful attempts at defense were successful was because the attacks was equally pitiful. Finally, Seamus Fermanagh was able to strike the captain of something on the head which sent the priest tumbling down, dead.

The priest king Reenk Roink was disgusted by the unnecessary killing of a man of the gods, and he went to cover the body of the priest with a fine cloak.

He then turned to the settlers and screamed: "IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU WANTED? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Subduing his anger, he called on ever settler to arm himself and surround the common count named Arach. Reenk Roink appealed to the damned: "Pisuf! Obey the law of the land and go quietly, perhaps you will one day be reinstated to your position of power."

The common count named Arach rolled his eyes but was obviously wary of all the accusations and battles. He responded despondently: "I could fight you and your followers priest king, and I could do much damage, but why bother? That hard*** OsiOsi didn't even seem to care that I delivered The Psyensil in a most Pisuftastic way. Even if I win, the sky god will still imprison me, not to mention the heifer Kefy clearly is going to hold a grudge because I killed one of her slaves and will probably make the earth swallow me up when the time is near. So strike me priest king, send me to my prison..."

Sure enough, the command was given to the archers to fire, and as soon as the first arrow was about to strike, Pisuf was teleported away.

The priest king Reenk Roink addressed the settlers. Well now, we will consult the priests to interpret the many signs of the gods to see if we are free of the usurpers and other threats. We shall meet tomorrow. Until then...

From deep within the Divine Forest, Vode looked at the settlement of the priest king Reenk Roink. Turning to OsiOsi, he spoke: "So it seems that the outward acts of usurping have failed. Yet in war, information is very important and the settlers do not know what walks among them. A servant of mine still remains; I am his eyes and he is my secret...

As the sun once again rose from her slumber and revealed to the settlers that once again there was no bloodshed taking place under the cover of night, the priest king Reenk Roink gathered the settlers and addressed them: "Settlers, the priests and augurs and oracles have all revealed that the usurper threat still looms, although it does not manifest itself outwardly. Therefore you must find and eliminate the last of the threats, and be assured that it will prove the most evasive and hardest to find!"

Seamus Fermanagh was not present however, as he was stumbling around the settlement, drunk, singing songs about sheep.

Day 8

As the sun began to set again, the settlers gathered at the field to witness yet another fight and another execution.

A man named Sigurd had shocked the settlers by stating his concern that he may be used by the usurpers, and thus he gladly welcomed death. Many settlers obliged, though some later retracted their votes as they saw no malevolence in Sigurd, only insanity. Yet the tally still doomed Sigurd, but before his execution, there was to be a fight.

Two farmers, one with the whitest eyes and the biggest grin and another who called himself a lord and loved the winter, had decided to duel for some reason.

They walked to the field, both of them grasping hoes. The man with the whitest eyes attacked first, taking wild swings at his opponent. Of course, he didn't hit a damn thing and left himself exposed to the man who called himself a lord. The lover of winter thrust his hoe and missed the man with the whitest eyes the first time, though he caught him the second and sent him tumbling to the ground. However, he missed driving the hoe for the killing blow and the man with the whitest eyes threw dirt into his opponent's eyes, temporarily blinding him. He them charged the man who called himself a lord but ended up impaling himself on the hoe.

Rolling his eyes at the pathetic display of marital skill on both sides, the priest king Reenk Roink called for the damned, but as soon as Sigurd came before the priest king, he pulled out a knife and stabbed himself in the belly, uttering his last words: "You will never corrupt me Vode!"

Reenk Roink addressed his settlers: "Obviously we have not eliminated the last threat. Work harder! Do not give up after you have gotten so far!"
