The Red Phoenix [Concluded]

[Jolt]

Finally my 800 logged hours of Dynasty Warriors are going to come in useful! Sounds like we still have Guang Ping running around. He's the guy who actually set the ships on fire at the battle of Red Cliffs. If someone spots him, cut him down.

You probably mean Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu.

[Jolt]

Night 5 is over. Stand-by for execution.

[FactionHeir]

I always did wonder why there's another 24 hours after all orders are in (both day and night) making each phase 48 hours...

[Jolt]

It isn't usually 24 hours, but usually I'm also busy with Real Life stuff.

[Yaropolk]

You probably mean Guan Ping, the son of Guan Yu.

I did mean Guan Ping, but I went back and looked at the account of the battle, it was actually Huang Gai who faked betrayal over to Cao Cao's side and then set the ships on fire.

[Askthepizzaguy]

By the way I really am a detective.

The Red Phoenix - Night 5

As the moon won over the sun in orderly fashion and took its place in the Heavens, the advisors retreated to their tents and began resting from their stressful day (And previous night too!), someone was still very active. As soon as night fell, two men left their tents quietly and, avoiding the usual patrols, met in the vincinity of Faction Heir's tent. Knowing full well the problem Faction Heir might be, they had joined forces to take on what they predicted would be a great problem towards their plans. After debating briefly what they would do to overcome the guards, the most clever of both quickly made a suggestion "Let us do so and so." his companion nodded profoundedly and both set out. They approached both guards posted at the entrance of the tent simultaneously and quickly grabbed them and cut their throats in similar fashion, thus the immediate problem of raising an alarm and getting to Faction Heir had been overcome.
Both entered quietly into the tent and it appeared that Xu Chu lay asleep in his bed, covered by a wool blanket and furthermore he snored louder than dogs barked. The companions could only grin to each other. Fortunately, Xu Chu had not set out to protect someone else this night. As they made their way to stab FactionHeir, they were shocked to see him jump from his bed quickly, fully clad in armor and carrying a trusty sword already in hand. He laughed and said "So you expected to catch me off-guard? However clever you lot might be, you will never outsmart me!" The sentence said, he quickly called for his trusty guards, which came not as they were dead. Undeterred, as he knew he was handling people unskilled in combat he jumped towards them with the intention of striking them down. The original attackers however, became horrified at the terrible sight, and were put to flight but not before Xu Chu managed to grab one of them by the cloak and partially stroke his helm removing it. His companion found the courage to help his trapped fellow and proceeded to try and chop off Faction Heir's hand which held tight to one of the attacker's cloak. While he stroke not the hand, he managed to cut off the cloak so that the trapped attacker ripped the rest of through sheer force in trying to free himself. Faction Heir persued them out of his tent, which was when both men split off in different directions. Faction Heir stopped to think on who to persue, but those few seconds proved to be too many as once he had decided on who to persue, both his attackers were already too far away and vanished into the depth of the courtyards.

Soon Xu Chu set about to fix what just happened without creating much of the ruckus of the previous nights. He called soldiers on patrol to bury his guards, sent for some of the Tiger Guards to guard his tent, and summonned a courrier to quietly give the news to Cao Cao.

A new day being born, the advisors were summonned once again to Cao Cao's tent, where they were briefed on what had happened. The majority showed signs of shock, as most had expected the mutiny to be over, as they had had a quiet evening and good nice rest. They were even more shocked to see the attack perpretrated against Faction Heir had been committed by two men. Cao Cao at once called his advisors to find out the culprits and expose them for the rebellious rats that they were.

Day 5 orders are due in 10 PM GMT / 5 PM EST, 29th of November.

Sprig attacked me last night. I know because I removed his helmet.

I believe FactionHeir, until proven otherwise.

[Death is yonder]

Oh the irony, the guy who exposed me is really a killer
