It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Round is over. Writeups soon.

Re: The Inquisition [Any day now, khaan]
While for most, the idea of being trapped with murderous fiends might seem unappealing, Ironside had taken a different attitude. He departed his quarters on his toes, looking for passerby. Ironside had dreamt in the past of seeing the wonders of the royal palace. And now, look, a chance to explore! Granted it was only by the light of braziers and chandeliers, but still. The building was a gem. He stopped his wanderings for a moment to feel a long, smooth drapery made from a fabric he could only guess at. Truly, only here could one find decorations in purple and gold.
"Ahem."
Ironside paused and whirled around. A man stood behind him, clothed in a dark robe with a hood covering his face. Ironside could swear he smelled something... musty?
"My apologies," the man said in a deep voice. "The palace is a wondrous achievement. Don't you agree?"
Ironside nodded, his eyes drawn back to the fine drapery. "What I would give to be able to live the rest of my days here," he said in awe as he stroked it.
"Then by all means, allow me to oblige." Ironside's eyes went wide as the man pulled a long, straight sword from his robes. "This wonderful place has become a house of fiends. It is time we cleanse it. Let us begin."
And so the man lunged for Ironside, taking a fast jab with his weapon. Ironside leaped backwards and narrowly avoided the blow, but stumbled in doing so. He managed to catch himself and turned his stumble into a roll, popping up to face his attacker. The man, sword aloft, slowly began his advance. Ironside considered for a moment. No weapon on himself. Nothing nearby blatantly dangerous... but a distraction! He spun on the spot, grabbed the wondrous drapery, and tugged with all his might. Down the luxurious fabric came, upon both of the individuals. As the man disentangled himself from the spun fabric, he observed Ironside already at a dead sprint back to the relative safety of the inhabited quarters.
"No worries. You cannot run forever."
The next morning, the nobles and court were gathered in the courtyard once more. Emperor Kavehir was visibly agitated as he paced back and forth, his words being taken note of by the royal scribe.
"My subjects, it seems that my assertion was correct! Just last night as we prepared to do our duty for my beloved Father, the attack upon my palace was begun! The time for preparation has passed! The time for action is upon us! Now we determine who the unholy savages are that would besmirch my family's name and dare to attack at this hallowed place! The time for the inquisition is now!"
It is now day 1! You have 36 hours to decide upon a lynch.

Re: The Inquisition [Any day now, khaan]
So.... Ironside attacked, but survived.
It certainly reads like a Mafia attempt (solo mysterious hooded musty perpetrator)
Re: The Inquisition [Any day now, khaan]
The tapestry came down on two individuals. So it looks more like a town attempt that failed because only two people showed up.
The lions sing and the hills take flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.

Re: The Inquisition [Any day now, khaan]
The two individuals in question appear to be Ironside and his attacker.
The 'musty' comment also seems out of place with a town attempt.
@Ironside, can you explain your survival?
Re: The Inquisition [Any day now, khaan]
You're right, I read that wrong then.

A quick wit and great running skills.Originally Posted by Myrddraal
I'm guessing the attacker were short on numbers, since there's nothing in my role giving me extra survivability.
Killing townpersons are going to be tough if we all got defensive powers.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
