The Settlement: Information and Summary thread

[Reenk Roink]

The sun rose once again and the settlers once again converged at the gathering hall. For a while, they were a bit worried as the Shinsei named Khaan was not present, but he was found inebriated, writhing in a pool of vomit and urine composing while dirty limericks. So the discussions began...

Day 10

As the day drew to an end, the same accusations were thrown at the priest Yoyoma. However, most of the living were reluctant to vote, so the initiative was taken by a drunken Shinsei named Khaan who fingered Yoyoma. Yoyoma saw nothing to do but to point a finger back.

Thus the vote tally was at an impasse, and when the priest king Reenk Roink was brought this news, he once again proceeded to decide what to do: "We do not have the time for petty bickering in this crucial moment. Therefore, the gods have inspired me to execute both Yoyoma and the Shinsei named Khaan."

With this, the order was given to have both of the doomed parties be tied together. A spear was then hurled at the two noble men impaling both of them.

Reenk Roink said after the dead bodies were dragged away: "It is clear that whatever this last threat is, it has blended in with us flawlessly. Do not be constrained by what you have done before. Pull out all the stops, and end this threat so that the settlement will go on!

[Reenk Roink]

As the sun rose again, the settlers once again gathered to discuss. The manliest man with the manliest name Boudica required some help as he was very drunk, but the settlers had plenty of time as the priest king Reenk Roink arrived late to tell them to commence with the deliberations. He was comforting the widows of Yoyoma and the Shinsei Khaan.

Day 11

As the sky dimmed, the priest king Reenk Roink examined the tally and saw an impasse between three settlers. Once again, the decision was to fall to him. Offering a short prayer to all the immortal gods, he begged for their inspiration to lead to a prudent judgment.

When the inspiration came, it strongly advocated the executions of all three settlers with votes. The priest king was extremely hesitant and worried at this cogent recommendation. It was an all or nothing move. The last threat(s) would have to be among the three damned or else the usurpers would have succeeded, and his own life would be at serious risk.

The priest king eventually put his faith in the will of the gods and called for the settlers one by one to be crucified.

The doomed settlers went quietly and solemnly, and this unnerved the priest king immensely. He retreated into his quarters, barred the doors, and began praying incessantly, hoping that it was over yet having a strong feeling that he was over...

Note: Game is over - final write up coming

[Reenk Roink]

In the depths of the night a man slowly limped across the swampy trails surrounded by partially constructed structures of the settlement. He stopped suddenly in a marshy clearing and simply stood there for a few moments waiting for the dark mist to materialize. But the avatar of Vode never came. Peculiar, thought the man, the settlement had been nearly wiped out. Most of the settlers were dead along with their women, slaves, and animals. The Bronze Companions were now but two or three. All the buildings were falling into ruin. There was no food grown and no clothes sewn. Yet apparently Vode still did not wish to strike, or that is what the man thought.

Perhaps the last remaining settler had to be killed. Yes, that was it. Walking to the house of the last settler, the limping man swiftly stabbed the unaware settler with a broken bottle. How fitting a death.

Yet Vode still did not appear. Did the Infiltrator of Vode, who lasted so long when all of his more... direct and noticeable... companions, had fallen have to slay the priest king himself? Vode was certainly a demanding god to serve.

The limping man wondered how he would do it. The priest king was one of the greatest warriors who walked the land while Vode had never given his Infiltrator any physical prowess. At this moment the limping man realized the great gift that Vode had given him. Vode had clouded the eyes of all others in respect to him. The god of wars had shielded himself from any scrying, even that of the sky god himself! The limping man cursed himself for being ungrateful of this great boon the god of foreign peoples had bestowed on him and resolved to use his gifts to slay Reenk Roink. The strike of the priest king was not terrifying if it could not hit its mark.

So the agent of Vode limped into the temple complex and stood outside the quarters of the priest king. It was barred shut, but the agent remained undeterred. He began to loosen an already loose stone block and finally made an entry. Stepping inside he found the priest king with his back turned, kneeling and weeping in prayers. How pathetic. The Infiltrator of Vode pulled out the poisoned dagger of one of his dead compatriots and rose his arm, ready to strike.

"There will be no need for that my servant..."

The agent of Vode stumbled back in disbelief as the priest king Reenk Roink uttered these words. The priest king then began to disintegrate into a fine black mist, and the agent immediately fell prostrate on the floor as he recognized who it was.

"My Lord Vode! I have carried out your task with the powers you bestowed upon me!"

Vode replied: "Yes my servant, you are indeed the best of them all."

The Infiltrator of Vode questioned: "But... if you are Reenk Roink... then why...? Our mission..."

Vode coolly responded: "My servant, you know of my plot to overthrow OsiOsi by causing much bloodshed. Yet that is easy for me, and I would not need such an elaborate plan involving my servants. Rather, this entire usurping business was to test my own agents, to see who would be most worthy to claim the title of Vode's Chosen One."

"The result is quite clear. The most important attribute in war is not sheer power like Ares held, nor is it sorcery and dark magic like Jolt wielded, nor is it the art of stealth that Andres mastered. It is gathering information on your enemies and concealing information from them. That is your domain. You. Seamus Fermanagh. The Chosen of Vode!"

Seamus Fermanagh felt a great deal of satisfaction that moment. He would began his ascent to the top in this world, while his patron would begin his ascent to the top of the pantheon.

usurper victory! (very close and an upset)

[Reenk Roink]

The priest king Reenk Roink woke up in the middle of the night sweating. It was just a horrible dream. Washing his face, he went to his window and stared out at the now desolate settlement. A feeling of great sadness came over him.

Shuffling his feet towards the altar, he began to hold a night vigil, asking the gods to reveal whether the threat was finished. Expecting the same negative answer he had received for the past eleven nights, the priest king was astonished when he received the good tidings from OsiOsi that the last servant of Vode was slain in the mass crucifixion. It was the manliest man with the manliest name Boudica!

The priest king ran out of his temple complex in euphoria and woke up the shepherd Seamus Fermanagh and the cook and generous brewer and psycho named Naut to give them the news. Though it was just them, and a few women and slaves remaining, now the settlement could move on. New settlers would undoubtedly come and prosper under the priest king Reenk Roink...
