Daggers in the Night - summary and information thread.

Day 4 - Conclusion

The day was coming to an end and voting was concluded.

Before announing the name of the lynchee, Secura humbly bowed before the gathered daggers and offered her resignation. She suggested to elect their honorable sister, Renata. Allthough some daggers had more trust in the man who changed his name as frequently as others changed their underwear, most trusted Secura’s suggestion.

Before handing over the position of Naib to her beloved sister, Secura did the vote count for the last time.

She looked at the very talkative Dutch guy. The strange dagger looked back. For once, he was silent. The Naib looked down at her notes again.

“Seon, please come forward,” she said.

Seon came forward, a worried expression on his face.

Secura nodded. "Indeed, it is you."

"Ha! I'm not scared!" a pale looking Seon said, trembling and shaking all over his body.

"Apparently, your own vote was the deciding vote."

Seon laughed hysterically.

“As you may know, the Moors who built this magnificent building, used water as an element to bring harmony and piece. Could you please bow down in front of this pool, dear Seon.”

"See if I care!" Seon said, still laughing hysterically; but he did as was told.

With a strength most people did not expect from this lovely looking woman, Secura put Seons' head under the water, stopping his laughter very suddenly, and kept it in that position with a strong grip. Seon struggled to free himself, but Secura was stronger. After a few moments, Seon stopped moving.

Secura dragged him out of the water and walked towards a tree; a rope was placed on its' foot.

She looked at Sasaki, opened her mouth, paused for a while and then picked up the piece of rope herself. In no time, she had Seon hanging on a branch of the tree. Sasaki nodded approvingly.

Wiping out the sweat of her forehead, Secura sat down.

“Time for tea,” she said, seemingly exhausted from the hard work.

The daggers waited patiently. 15 minutes later, Secura stood up and cut Seon loose.

“Sasaki, can I have your sword, please?”

“Of course, mylady.”

Much to the daggers' surprise he drew his katana in one fluid movement and reached Secura without stumbling.

“Thank you,” the Naib said.

She walked towards the very silent Seon and beheaded him. She finished the job with a wooden stake through his heart.

“Are you sure he’s dead?” one of the daggers asked, a wee bit of sarcasm in his voice.

Secura ignored the comment and bowed for the daggers.

“It has been a pleasure to be your Naib, but I’m sure Renata will do a much better job.”

And so, another day ended.

Night 4 - Conclusion

Sasaki Kojiro was sitting in his hotel room, burning copies of Miyamoto Mushashi’s “The Book of Five Rings”, his favourite hobby.

While he was enjoying the heat, he heard the noise of something being thrown against his window.

He carefully stood up and with one sudden movement, opened the window. He saw nothing.

When closing the window, he noticed a package on the balcony. He walked over to the package and opened it.

It was a copy of “The Book of Five Rings”.

“WAAAAA!” Sasaki said, and he stormed back into his room. “Must burn!”

He threw the book in the fireplace and calmed down.

What strange people, these inhabitants of Granada, throwing idiotic books against peoples’ windows.

Remembering that he had left his window open, he stood up to close it, when he saw a dark cloaked figure standing on his balcony. The figure had a bokken in his hand.

Sasaki charged, but the attacker simply stepped aside, jumped into the hotelroom and closed the bulletproof unbreakable window, leaving Sasaki standing outside on the balcony.

The dark cloaked figure placed an hourglass in Sasaki’s sight and then walked further into the room.

“Hmmm, I guess we’ll fight our duel once all the sand has run to the bottom bulb.”

Sasaki waited patiently until all the sand was in the bottom bulb. At that moment, he stood up and drew his katana.

The dark cloaked figure didn’t show up.

Sasaki grew very impatient and started running circles on his balcony.

“Why does it take so long? This is rude!”

Suddenly, the figure appeared behind the window and walked towards the hourglass to turn it around again. The cloaked person disappeared.

Barely resisting the temptation to start yelling out his frustration, Sasaki sat down and watched the hourglass. He would have attempted to break his own window, but it was a special, bulletproof window, unbreakable, so he had no choice but to wait.

And again, the dark cloaked figure didn’t show up on time.

Sasaki started to hit the window with his fists in a fruitless attempt to get in the hotelroom to start the duel.

Suddenly, the dark cloaked figure appeared and turned the hourglass again.

Sasaki really went mad and started to punch and kick on the unbreakable window, screaming obscenities like "Heineken", "Amstel" and "Crystal Alken".

The dark cloaked figure appeared again and Sasaki could hear him laughing.

With a sudden movement, the assassin opened the window and Sasaki, who was still punching with all his strenght, stumbled forward and fell on his forehead.

The dark cloaked figure simply hit Sasaki with the bokken, causing a severe skull infraction. A second blow broke his neck.

Bursting out in laughter, the dark cloaked figure left the scene, but not before leaving a copy of “The Book of Five Rings” on Sasaki's body.

***

Yaseikhaan opened his eighteenth bottle of beer. What else was there to do when you were forced to stay in your hotel room.

He stumbled around a bit and drank out the bottle. He walked to the refrigerator only to see that it was empty.

"Mmm...", 'khaan said and he started to think, which wasn't an easy task, given his condition.

"'tis an emerzenfy, so I'm allowed to get ou... ffff," 'khaan spit a few times on the floor, "to get out. Emergenzy, yes."

He walked over to the closet were he kept his equipment and dressed for the night.

The Guardia Civil would certainly have arrested him in this condition, if it weren't for a person standing in the shadows of a narrow alley.

The person stept forward, blocking 'khaans' path.

"Out of my way!" 'khaan yelled. "Zis is an emervenfy!"

The person kept silent.

"You're dead!" 'khaan yelled. "I'm a pampire vunter!"

'khaan drew his toothbrush. He looked at the object in amazement and started to laugh.

"Hahahahaha! A toothbrush! What was I'm going zo voo with a toothbrssssh," he stumbled and collapsed on the floor.

Rolling over the floor he kept laughing, staring at the toothbrush in his hand.

After a couple of minutes he came to his senses and saw that the dark figure was still watching him.

"Hmmm. Yes." 'khaan said, and he stood up.

Slowly, he drew one of his daggers and he crawled forwards towards the dark figure.

The figure stepped aside, waving with his cloak and yelled "Olé!"

'khaan looked at the figure. "You phtink you're funny, eh? Toothbrush funny, olé not funny. Poor bulls getting killed!" 'khaan said angry and he "attacked" again.

The figure made the same movement saying "Olé" again.

'khaan stared at him, a troubled expression on his face.

"Poor bulls!" he yelled and he started to cry uncontrollable, letting his dagger slip out of his hands, on the floor.

"Boohoohooo! They kill bulls! Poor bulls! Evil men! Savages! Boohoohooo! Why am I so drunk?"

The dark figure stepped forward, wielding a wooden club.

The killer quickly hit the crying vampire hunter on the head, unsheeted a sword and decapacitated the man with 6 names.

***

Day 5

The new Naib watched how the daggers arrived in the Generalife.

When all were present, Renata stood up from her comfortable chair and immediately addressed the crowd.

"We lost two of our finest men last night. Our brother 'khaan apparently ignored the advice to stay in his hotel and got killed in a dark alley. Rumour has it that he was drunk. Mister Kojiro was killed in his hotel room, holding his favourite book in his hands."

"Let's try to find the vampire among us, shall we?"

Day 4 - Conclusion

There wasn't much discussion that day, since the brotherhood quickly decided that GeneralHankerchief had to be the murdering vampire.

The new Naib Renata looked at the condemned General.

"Do you have anything to say in your defence?"

"Nope," GeneralHankerchief said.

"Absolutely nothing?"

GeneralHankerchief looked back at the Naib, a melancholic look in his eyes.

Silently, he muttered: "I wish I had done better. Maybe I've been going on hunting vampires for too long."

"A burn-out, as they call it?" Renata said, a mysterious smile on her face.

"Yeah, sort of," GH replied.

"What a coincidence!" Renata exclaimed. "What a fitting lynching method I have in mind for you, then."

With a wide gesture, Renata revealed a pile of wood with a stake on top of it.

"I was getting a bit bored of the decapacitating and wooden stakes, so why not trying another traditional method! Burning you at the stake! I'm sure you can appreciate the irony," Renata said, enthusiastically nodding at the General.

"Well, ehm, I was hoping for something less painful."

"Oh now," Renata replied, a bit disappointed. "Certainly you, being burned-out, can appreciate this, can't you? Don't worry, we'll pour enough gasoline on you so that you will burn, in spite of your burned-outness!"

Renata giggled, but soon stopped when she noticed GH didn't appreciate the awful joke.

"Ehm, ok," Renata said and then she ordered four daggers to tie GH up and to pour gasoline on him.

The General was standing on the pile of wood, staring in the distance with a melancholic look in his eyes and a sad smile on his face, as if he already had said goodbye to this place. Calmly, he looked down at the brotherhood. "Don't worry, one day all will be well again. Maybe it's for the best that I'm leaving you now."

Some daggers wept a tear away when looking at their beloved GeneralHankerchief, standing so bravely on the pile of woods in his last moments.

"Come on now! Let's not ruin the spectacle by being sad! This is going to be fun!" Renata yelled and she threw a burning torch in the Generals' direction, setting the pile on fire.

GeneralHankerchief just kept smiling rather sadly as he silently got engulfed by the flames. Only at the last moments, the brave man lost his selfcontrol and started to scream while the flames were eating him alive.

Soon, it was silent again, and only ashes were left.

Renata clapped her hands.

"Now that we're all warmed-up, we can go to bed. See you all tomorrow!"

Night 5 - Conclusion

Allthough it might seem odd given the situation of the Brotherhood of the Silver Daggers, Peasant Phill was a happy man.

He came to Granada, because he couldn't ignore the urgent call, but if it would have been up to him and him alone, he would have stayed home.

Indeed, it was an excellent summer and he had been enjoying watching the wheat on his farm grow to unseen heights. But it wasn't just the growing wheat that made him happy. No, the main reason for his happines was his engagement. Yes, Peasant Phill was going to marry the most beautiful, intelligent and funny woman on this planet! He sighed and smiled, a dreamy look on his face; surely, he was the happiest man in the world. Hoping that this vampire would be caught soon, he picked up the phone to call his fiancé, like he did every single day.

While he was dialing the number, he didn't see the cloaked figure sneaking up on him.

Phill was patiently waiting for his soon to be wife to pick up the phone, when the wooden club hit him hard on the back of his head.

Dizzy, at the verge of unconsciousness, our unfortunate young man tried to find his silver daggers when the sword already struck, seperating his head from his body.

The killer looked at the body of Phill, when suddenly, he heard a voice...

"Hello! Hello? Is that you, Phill? Please answer me! This is not funny, Phill, you know I'm always so worried, please, say something."

The attacker picked up the horn and put it back on the hook, showing no emotion at the tragedy that had just happened.

Silently, the murderer left the scene.

***

Death is yonder was sitting in his hotel room, feverishly looking for his books when he suddenly realised he didn't have to study anymore! He laughed at his sillyness; months of exams and studying hadn't done him much good. It was over and he passed, no need to worry about that anymore!

He relaxed a bit and opened the refrigerator. He picked the bottle of whisky and poured a rather generous portion into his glass. He put the bottle back in the fridge and then lifted the glass at himself, in the mirror. He emptied the glass rather quickly and put it down again. He looked up and saw a dark person in the mirror, standing behind him.

He turned around fast, aiming his fist for the intruders' stomache, but he missed.

DiY looked around, but saw nobody.

"This is not possibl..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a knife slit his throat. The killer stepped forward and put the knife through DiY's right eyeball, right into his brains. Finally, the attacker kicked him on his head a few times with his steel toe boots, until DiY's face was reduced to a bloody pulp.

The attacker calmly left the room, but not without taking the excellent bottle of scotch.

***

Day 6

Renata was waiting impatiently for the daggers to arrive.

This lack of professionalism irritated her. An hour too late!

Staring at the last one to arrive, Renata started her report.

"We lost two more men last night. Our dear friend Peasant Phill, who was having an excellent year at his farm and was about to marry, has been cruelly taken away from us. Death is yonder, who never got to read the letter from his university stating that he didn't just pass his exams, but passed magna cum laude, was also killed.

Our enemy is heartless and clearly doesn't hesitate to kill young, promising men who still have their entire life before them.

I suggest we talk alot more than the previous days, and much more intensively. We NEED to find this foul creature before it kills the last one of us."

That said, Renata sat down and the daggers began the day.

Day 6 - Conclusion

Renata was filing her nails when they dragged White_eyes:D to her.

"Another one?" she asked, bored. "What'd this one do?"

"Nothing much," said TheFlax. "Only five of us voted for him."

"Five?" questioned the Naib incredulously. "Five? That is truly pathetic. I should let him go and kill the rest of you. Where are the days of the massive bandwagons? In my days, people who got lynched at least had 547 votes. Gah, these modern times."

TheFlax eyed the way Renata was holding her nail file and backed away nervously.

Renata sighed. "Very well then. White_eyes, you shall at least have a fitting death. Perfectly appropriate to your crimes."

White_eyes:D, held firmly between two burly daggers, felt a trickle down his spine. Renata didn't look so bored anymore.

"Hmmm ", Renata seemed to be in deep thoughts.

"Aha!" "Or maybe, not....

"Wait, I'll have to look...," Renata said.



"Got it, got i!"

"It's about time," White_Eyes:D responded







:





Renata ignored White_Eyes:D anger and opened a nearby closet.

"Aha! There it is."

Holding a double bladed axe in her hand, she stepped forward.



Renata gave a sign and four strong daggers stepped forward, forcing White:Eyes:D to kneel and tying him so that his head was on a block of wood.



With one mighty blow, Renata seperated White_Eyes:D head from his body



Renata cleaned the axe with a piece of cloth and bowed to the daggers, as a sign that the day was over

Night 6 - Conclusion

The moon was shining over the Alhambra.

Standing in the dark, on the small balcony of his hotelroom, enjoying the magnificent scenery, YLC sipped from his coffee. Such a beautiful city, such a rich history, he simply couldn't get enough of it. And the food! An endless variety of tapas; eating in Andalusia never gets boring. YLC regretted the circumstances under which he had to be here.

His cup was empty and he decided to go inside. He closed the window and switched on the light. Looking for the latest manual on vampire hunting, YLC sighed. He didn't feel like reading. He wasn't in the mood to concentrate and read boring work related literature.

He put the book back on the shelve, switched out the lights again, picked the bottle of sherry and a glass and went back to his balcony, to sit down and enjoy the magnificent view.

While he was drinking and just sitting there, he slowly got carried away by sweet dreams and fantasies about medieval times, the Moorish rulers of this city and how it would have been if he had lived in that era.

After his third glass of sherry, YLC suddenly felt bursts of inspiration, so he decided to stand up and to go inside to take a pencil and some paper.

A few minutes later, he came back and yelled at the moon: "This is an excellent night for poetry! Oh lovely city, let me honor your beauty!"

That said, he sat down and began to write.

He never saw the cloaked figure nor the wire coming. YLC struggled for a few moments, but his attacker was too strong and he got strangled to death.

The killer paused for a while, then drew his knife and made a large cut in YLC's throat.

Before leaving, the attacker looked at the sheet of paper.

"Granada, beautiful Granada,
" With your red fortress
" and your dangerous hunter
" for red blood
" Granada, oh beautiful...

The rest of the poem was unreadable, due to the blood ...

***

The cool breeze sent shiverings down here spine. She shouldn't be here and she knew it very well. By being here, she was ignoring the advice she had given the daggers a few days ago, when she was still their Naib.

She shrugged. Some of them had been killed in their own rooms, so why should she stay inside? It wasn't much safer in their hotels. And all the tourist information said the Albaicin is an absolute must to visit.

But there was another reason to be here: Albaicin is where the daggers won their last major victory agains the vampires by killing Alim. She simply couldn't resist the temptation to visit this part of the city.

However, in spite of her thoughts about the fascinating ancient streets and houses, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being followed. The former Naib kept looking left and right, while quickly walking back to her hotel.

Suddenly, a dark figure jumped in front of her. It had a wooden club in its' hands and swung it at her.

Secura owed her life to her excellent reflexes by quickly jumping aside, avoiding the deadly swing.

The dark figure yelled out its' frustration.

Secura decided she couldn't win this fight alone, and so she started to run. While she was running, she had an odd feeling of déjà-vue.

Tonight, she was not the hunter, but the prey, she realised. She should have known better. Running through the narrow streets of Albaicin, she feverishly started to think about a place to hide. An arrow barely missed her and she kept running. Wondering how the attacker did find her, wouldn't help. It was too late. She had to disappear. And quickly. Her senses told her that the Alhambra was behind her, so she had to go left, then right, then straight ahead and then she had to climb up the little house with the grey...

When she entered the alley, she realised her mistake. There would be no where to run. Disappearing was no longer an option.

Her follower came near, holding the wooden club in her hand.

"Meet my little friend," the attacker said, laughing.

Faster than ligthning, the club hit her head. She fell on the floor, her skull fractured. The last thing she saw, was the reflection of the moonlight on the blade that seperated her head from her body.

***

Day 7

Renata looked up when the last dagger arrived. Slowly standing up, she looked briefly at the brotherhood.

"Our ranks are getting thinner by the day. We need to make progress!"

Before sitting down, the Naib seemed to remember something.

"Also, you will have to elect a Naib today. Chose wise, it is an important decision."

Day 7 - Conclusion

There wasn't much talk that day. The brotherhood decided that the youngest among them, Romanic was the one to be lynched today, for reasons unclear to the lynchee. What had he done? He was innocent!

But the decision was irrevertable. The daggers were looking for the Naib to perform the execution, but she seemed to be gone.

Suddenly, all dressed in black, Renata slowly strode forward.

"Our dearest Benjamin," Renata started. "I must say I am deeply impressed, young one. You're our newest member and yet, you did very well, until now. Unfortunately for you, your brothers and sisters think you could be a vampire. I don't necessarily agree and I think there are better suspects, but the brotherhood has decided. I cannot ignore the decision.

Since you're so young, however, I'd like to give you a chance to prove yourself and who knows, save yourself today."

Renata waited a brief moment and then she continued: "I challenge you to a sword duel."

Her words were barely cold as Renata unsheethed a silver blade. After a brief moment of reflection, she took the blade in her left hand.

"I don't want this to be over too soon," she said.

She handed a package over to Romanic. "Please put on this armor and cloths".

Romanic started to put on the armor and the garments.

A minute later, Renata asked: "Hey there. Are you doing ok?"

Romanic looked up, a bit annoyed. "I don't mean to be rude, but this is not as easy as it looks, so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't distract me."

"No problem, sorry."

"Thank you."

A few minutes later, Romanic was ready and he unsheethed his blade.

The Naib calmly waited for Romanic to make the first move.

Quickly, the young dagger stepped forward, trying to kill Renata fast and clean, using the point of his blade. The Naib simply deflected the blow. Romanic stepped backward, paused and also took his blade in his left hand.

Now the Naib attacked, but the young dagger was strong. He parried the attack and riposted, causing Renata to step backwards. With a few quick blows, Romanic forced the Naib to keep stepping backwards. When she almost stumbled, Romanic struck with his blade for the final blow. Renata's reflexes saved her life and the blade barely missed her. However, the Naib lost her blade in the movement.

Romanic stepped forward and swung his blade. Renata jumped and then jumped again and then she jumped towards a post, made an acrobatic swing and came down next to her blade and picked it up in a gracious movement.

Romanic threw his sword next to that same post, jumped to it and made TWO acrobatic swings, after which he landed very gracious on his feet to take his blade again. Without hesitating, he attacked the Naib. The blades were swinging back and forth with the speed of lightning during this deadly dance. Suddenly, they stopped.

Renata was trying to catch her breath.

"You're... good... I must be ... getting... old."

Romanic looked a bit embarrassed. "I didn't expect to do so well, Naib. Maybe I'm just being lucky."

"Not lucky," Renata replied. "You're better than me."

Romanic smiled at the kind words, but something made him feel suspicious.

"However, I know something you don't know," Renata said, mysteriously.

"Let me guess. You're not left-handed and now you will defeat me in seconds with your right-hand?"

"Oh, I'm left-handed allright," Renata answered, laughing.

Romanic looked confused.

"It's just that..."

"BANG!"

A rifle broke the silence. Romanic fell down, the bullet had made a hole between his eyes and his brains were splattered all over the courtyard.

"... I cheat," Renata said.

Smoke on the rooftop gave away the position of the dagger who had been waiting for Renata's signal.

Slowly, the Naib stepped forward and seperated Romanics' head form his body with her blade.

Exhausted, the Naib put away her sword and looked at Diana Abnoba.

"You'll be our new Naib, sister. Good luck."

The daggers left the Generalife, except for one man: A Very Super Market. Still shocked by the spectacle, he walked towards Romanics' body. He picked up his sword and pierced it through his own belly, yelling "Goodbye, cruel world!"
