Inavi: Howling Seas [Concluded]

[Seon]

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here


NotW: Howling Seas

Inavi is a town built upon a small island in the Lanun nation. Aside from that fact there was absolutely nothing interesting about it. Only reason why one may wish to visit the place was to restock on supplies as they sailed past the island.

‘So what the hell is up with these people?’ the barmaid Sonny thought as she pushed her way through the crowd of people inside the inn. Indeed, only sailors and the occasional merchants visited this place, not people like the priests or some members of a Balseraph troupe.

“Sonny! One more drink!” shouted somebody.

“Coming!” she yelled across the inn. ‘Boy, this day is going to be bloody busy,’ she thought.

Funny how she mentioned the word ‘bloody’ though.

…………………………………………………………………………….

Mayor Seon quickly walked through the seaside road. He shuddered. The darn place gave him the creeps.

“Howdy Mayor!” a voice yelled out. The mayor stumbled forward. “Oh. Sorry if I scared you.”

The mayor quickly turned to the source of the voice. He saw a familiar face. “Oh it’s you. What are you doing here?”

“Just on a night stroll. Like you!” the owner of the voice said. “By the way, mayor-“

Lighting flash. Rain drops.

“What? Freak storm?” the mayor muttered. “Hey, my house is nearby. Do you want to go there until this storm blows over?”

The figure nodded. “Let’s do that…”

Basic Summary:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Hello, and welcome to my first NotW! People who followed the links in my signature and visited CFC would know what I am talking about. So what is NotW? Just follow this link to find out!

If you are like me and is usually too lazy to go through any hyperlinks, here is a basic summary:

NotW, or Night of the Werewolves, is a mafia game usually set in the universe of Fall From Heaven, a popular mod for Civ 4. Interesting part comes from that fact that everybody has his/her own unique role and backstory. The names of the said roles are proudly displayed upon the first page. As everyone knows who each other are, roleplay becomes much more important. The rules on roleplaying will be detailed later on the rules section.

So wait, some of you may be wondering. So why not just kill all the roles with the name "Mafia goon" in it? That's because all the "Mafia goons" are disguised. beefy being...let's say...a technician...doesn't mean that he can't be a member of an evil cult with a horde after horde of acid spitting monstrosities to kick around. Your favourite space marine may actually be a werewolf under all that armor and your favourite Town Idiot may be Mask DeMasque the Masked Thief. This, of course, works both ways. Your favourite Town Idiot may, instead of being Mask DeMasque, be a Super Sleuth in disguise.

Oh, and a rule at the core of NotW. THE DEAD MAY NOT SPEAK. The dead may not post in the Game thread. The dead may not talk with the living via PM or IM. THE DEAD MAY NOT EVER DISCUSS STRATEGY WITH THE LIVING. Simple "I HATE YOU ALL!" or "MWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA" is okay though as long as it's funny and there's no substance behind those words.

Of course, knowing all the roles of the people and also knowing that the dead do not speak raises an interesting dilema for the mafia. Do you kill Secura on day 1 to prevent her from steamrolling over your team on day 6, or do you kill the random poor Joe Schmuck named Seon who's role name sounds suspisciously powerful.

That's enough basic summary. These rules will be covered in more detail in the "Rules" Section.

Welcome to Inavi, an island town in the Lanun nation. What is the Lanun nation, you say. Lanun nation is comprised of various archipelago in the Aegean sea. Around 50~75% of its population is a pirate, merchant, or both. Oh yeah, and it's ruled by democracy. Pirates, cutthroats, and other criminals from all over the nations come together at Innsmouth the pirateville the capital city of the Lanun nation to decide upon who has the biggest .

Unfortunately Inavi is so backwater that it misses out on most of these actions. Perhaps that's just so. Perhaps it is just alright to live in peace in one of the most volatile nations in Erebus. Besides, what could possibly happen to this peaceful town?
