Day 2 is over. Two people are being WoG'd.

Write-up and results will be delayed as I see if one of the replacement players is brought to replace one of them.

**Jolt** · 10-03-2009, 17:06

The replacement issue has been solved. I am hungry for both food and knowledge, and as such I'm gonna go to the nearest mall and eat some fast-food and stay until late reading books I like. As such, write-ups and results will come only in a handful of hours.

**Jolt** · 10-03-2009, 21:45

Write-ups and the result will begin being dealt with now.

Day 3

The third day was unarguably a lot more quiet than the previous ones, as this time all of the explorers rose early, ate their breakfast and only returned late without incident. It appeared that the majority was a happy bunch, and now that the killings were over, most of the explorers did really begin thinking that the death of the others were really only unhappy accidents.

When night came, the explorers were startled by someone. Apparently Sasaki had finally reappeared from his exile. Closely inquired by his fellow companions as to what happened, where he was hidden or how he had survived for so long without food, Sasaki replied that he had entered a cave and had fallen off an endless abyss while combatting a Balrog. After Sasaki and the Balrog fell into the abyss in the said cavern, they fought long underground and then climbed the Hidden Dragon Stair to the peak of the Nine Springs where Dong Zhuo's Tower stood. There on a narrow eyrie they fought from Day 1 to Day 2. The Balrog, whose fire had been quenched in a subterranean lake, burst into renewed flame. The sun shone at first, but as the combatants struggled thunder boomed and lightning flashed, vapour and steam rose, and ice fell. From a distance it appeared that a storm was raging over the Nine Springs. At last, "I defeated the Balrog!" cried Sasaki in great excitement. Some of the explorers faces were of true disbelief. Most thought he had inhaled far too many substances before coming underground, while others thought he had took the time to loot around day and night by an unparalelled greed, and it was all the greed and excess work together that made him wild. But Sasaki interrupted them to continue his tale; he threw the Balrog down from the peak, and the mountainside broke where the Balrog landed. Sasaki then died from his wounds and passed into darkness out of thought and time, but was sent back to Meiwo as Ganryu Kojiro to complete his task. When Sasaki awoke in the morning of Day 3, he was lying naked at the bottom of the endless abyss. Dong Zhuo's Tower had crumbled and the entrance to the Hidden Dragon Stair was blocked, and Sasaki was trapped high on a mountaintop until a Chinese Dragon came at mid-day and bore him to the entrance of the cavern.

While many explorers laughed at the story, others faces were more disturbed, as Sasaki's reappearance meant their individual shares had fallen once again. Tratorix also laughed and mocked Sasaki a lot, so much that he decided to emulate the tale of Sasaki falling off the cliff, with what he had around him. Saying he was going to be just like Sasaki, he went running full speed to throw himself into a well which was nearby the camp where the explorers were. The explorers warned Tratorix that the well was obviously dry from so much time of unuse, but apparently Tratorix was by then too far away to have heard them. Some explorers began going after him, but others who were unhappy that Sasaki's arrival meant the shares had fallen, managed to convince the group that Tratorix was only joking and wouldn't really throw himself off the well. Either way upon arrival, Tratorix promptly tossed him into the well and was still laughing when he saw that the well wasn't bottomless, but unfortunately for him was also waterless. The result was that the shares remained unchanged despite Sasaki's return. And a great many were happy again. To them, it didn't really matter whether it was Sasaki or Tratorix who were dead. At least now, they were sure that Tratorix was really dead.

Despite Sasaki's strange reappearance and Tratorix's strange death, the mood was clearly much higher among the explorers, but something kept the explorers from staying awake until late. Phreaps a number of them discovered vast riches within the city? Maybe they still hadn't found the riches the sought for in city? Or was it Sasaki's epic tale of struggle which disturbed them? Who knows if it was Tratorix's death that had really unsettled them?
After eating dinner, and having a friendly chat, the worn-out explorers went to bed, awaiting another day of toil and loot.

Wow, Traitorix wog'd and john replaced?

Also, welcome back, Sasaki!

**Jolt** · 10-03-2009, 23:57

Indeed. A heads-up for all who killed/attempted to kill in Day 1.

You can try to kill again.

**Beskar** · 10-04-2009, 00:04

They are already dead though, however, I got a confession.

I am working with a couple of people and everyone not in the group is going to die tonight. Yes, that means you. Before I allow you to ponder how, we are going to target you and kill you and there is nothing you can do. Well, you could try using your kill ability, but will you be able to bring it to a tie, or above the number required?

I will even challenge you. Unless you guys work together to break the vote fresh hold to kill me, you are going to die.

Clock is ticking, I suggest you attempt to kill me, before I kill you all.
