Liang Mui was sitting on the temple rooves, waiting for the dawn. He had been waiting for the dawn for twenty days now. It had risen twenty times but that didn't stop him waiting. Another monk padded across the roof and sat down next to him.
'Why do you wait here every day?' Liang replied 'why don't you?'
'Because I'm a practical man.'
When dawn came Liang was hanging from the temple rooves, swinging by the neck from a belt that could have belonged to any monk. His assassin was long gone.

Meanwhile, Ni Shui stood near the eastern fountains with a look of incredulity. He had thought he heard the sound of two legs walking across the stone tiles. He peered into the field beyond but observed nothing. Ashamed that his senses had betrayed him, he turned about only to see a fellow monk, robed, reclined upon the ledge of the fountain. "ha, I thought I heard footsteps out there, did you hear nothing?" Ni inquired. "No, indeed I heard something; you have made the fountain cry, look how it bubbles", said the robed monk. Dumbfounded, Ni searched for a response: "With respect..." "No, without respect" interrupted the robed monk. "That is what you are. Don't you know that this fountain is for washing only in the morning, and not to be touched when in the shadow of the temple? Alas, now you have corrupted it for the others. Ni, it suffers me to do this but you must receive due punishment. Now turn around..." Ni hesitated, but his trusting nature eventually guided him and he slowly turned around, his eyes gazing at the ground and his fingertips walking nervously on his temple. "Look up! There is no reason to hold your head." said the robed monk. Ni raised his head and with a blank face awaited his punishment. Nothing came. He shifted his eyes, gazing into the forest beyond, but still nothing came. He heard nothing behind him. Another minute passed before he dared turn his head. Unfortunately, as he did it fell to the ground, severed by a clean sword stroke some minutes earlier by the robed monk. His body stood upright for a fraction of a second, blood bubbling from his neck, before it too toppled to the ground. The killer had long since been gone.

It is now day. You may purchase kung fu lessons, challenge players to a duel, and must vote to lynch one of your number.

It takes 7 to lynch.
