Dragon Age: The Aeducan Succession [Stopped]

[johnhughthom]

[No I didn't... anyway, how am I susposed to know why some one randomly makes a false statement, I will demonstrate -
Did you know that Johnhughtom names his cats after Beethoven symphonies?]

[Not the same, and you know it. Naughty Beskie, I still miss Consecration of the House Overture...]

[Secura]

Did you know that Johnhughtom names his cats after Beethoven symphonies?

It's like you're setting up for a Fur Elise joke here... :P

End of Day Four


Inside the Throne Room

Without King Endrin or Duncan to officiate proceedings, the guests had descended into all-out verbal conflict with Beskar being the principal aim of their anger and fear; using the town criers as a basis for their arguments, they levelled several accusations at the dwarf which he attempted to swat away with solid reasoning, with somewhat limited success.

"Why would I go to the surface when it's strictly against our laws?", he stated firmly, "I value my caste and do not wish to relinquish my rights!"

"So then, you are saying that the rumour is false?", Renata asked, eyes narrowing at Beskar with a mix of suspicion and surprise.

"Precisely!", the accused dwarf boomed authoritatively, "someone is casting aspersions on my good name!"

The crowd returned to their tumultuous talking; Beskar could hear some murmurs of agreement and support on his behalf, but there seemed to be a growing consensus that a night in the cells might be the best option until the claims against him were proven to be true or false.

"The thing that I don't understand", johnhughthom said quietly, "is why someone would do this?"

Beskar snorted derisively, a disapproving look evident in his eyes and curled lips. He had a feeling that his fellow guests might turn on him eventually; there was a sense of inevitability in it, like the metal of a newly-sharpened blade eventually dulling over time or the painful death of a dwarf tainted by darkspawn blood in battle... he had, in all honesty, expected it sooner.

"Is it not obvious? Someone doesn't like me!" he roared as the two Grey Wardens accosted him from the room, each holding one of the dwarf's arms; the guests could still hear his indignant protestations as he left the palace, and it was with a heavy heart and tired mind that they all trudged off to their respective resting places for the night.

The round will be extended up to midnight GMT; I'm still waiting on a few orders. >.<

[Secura]

Alrighty, night orders are all in (bar one person, you know who you are!); I'll get to work on a writeup and polish off the one from the previous night phase... they'll be up sometime tomorrow. :3

As an additional note, I've changed my mind regarding how end-game performance is determined; you'll notice in your role PMs that each goal (victory, personal or survival) carries a percentage rating that says how much it is worth to a final score... I'm going to utilise a points system instead after seeing how much sense it made in Lylat Wars and some other games I looked back over.

This shouldn't have any significant impact on how the game plays out, and it should make final standings alot more clear. :3

End of Night Four


Tucked up in bed...

Much to Secura's chagrin, the night passes by without incident, leaving sixteen people to assemble before King Endrin later in the day.

[Romanic]

Wow Night 4 and still no murder!

....and they lived happily ever after?

Alrighty, night orders are all in (bar one person, you know who you are!);

That ^ plus the fact that we have no kill... Let's see who was inactive...

Captain Blackadder has not voted for 2 days.
Double A and Khazaar missed the last vote.

vote: Captain Blackadder

No more Disneyland, let's kill someone! Maybe the traitors will feel some pressure if they are threatened by our methods.

@Chaotix: Has our jailor imprisoned someone last night?

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Thief! Lowlife! Scumbag! I've been robbed!

Which one of you did it? What say you, Vote: Godemperor?

@Chaotix: Has our jailor imprisoned someone last night?

That would be interesting to know. Chaotix, speak up!

[Secura]

You guys could let me get the day phase posted first... >.<

I'm still chopping and changing the Double A attack from Night Three. xD

[God Emperor]

Chaotix was stolen from yesterday, and he is known to us as being an important person in our investigation. This may mean that the thief stealing from him has no intention on watching the town finding the killer and our enemy may be amongst the paupers. It would at least make sense to place a thief amongst the poor. Johnhughtom was claiming earlier on that he was very poor, and as it is, I don't see we have better option that to remove the beggars one by one.

How dare you simply disregard my outcry! I shall ask you again, Godemperor, what say you of my allegations?

Well you are eager to get a respons so I shall grant you one. You have been stolen from and I am sorry to hear that. However I did not find anything constructive in your post to reply on but an outcry of blind thirst for vengeance, that happened to land on me. If you have a better idea of whom we should lynch (with arguments backing them up) then do let us know.

Touche, although I did notice that nowhere have you protested your innocence. Why is that so, Godemperor?

[Beskar]

Because he is the dirty thief. Vote: God Emperor

Day Five
Voting concludes at 00:01 GMT, 04/08/10


On the streets of the Diamond Quarter

Town criers pour onto the streets as the city guards begin to light the torches, illuminating Orzammar for the day; the criers begin to shout the same message over and over to anyone who walked by.

"News of the hour! Beskar receiving special treatment? After his arrest, many speculate as to why he received such a light sentence!"

Other criers carried a different message, which they repeated with the same gusto as always.

"In other news, Chief Investigator Barka declares the discovery of lyrium dust being smuggled to the surface through Orzammar. More on this as the story develops!"

---------------------------------------------------------------


On the streets of the Commons

The merchants of Orzammar had been busy arranging their wares long before the guards had emerged; it took hours to haul equipment from homes to stalls, and then there was the presentation of it all... cuirasses fixed upon training dummies, swords propped up against walls. piles of sparkling gems and boxes lined with various tonics.

There was, however, nothing of significant interest on sale that day, though the merchants were always willing to buy.

---------------------------------------------------------------


In the Throne Room of the Royal Palace

As the guests assembled in the throne room, it became clear that they would not be joined by the king or the Grey Warden known as Duncan; without hesistation, they resumed the debating of the last few days with a renewed sense that they were closing in on their goal, stopping only for the return of Beskar from his night in the cells.

The delayed writeup for Night Three has been completed, and can be viewed here for those who'd like some more narrative to read!

[johnhughthom]

Beskar rumoured to be going to the surface, then rumours of lyrium smuggling eh? Somebody certainly has it in for you. It seems curious that we are fixated on finding a lowly sneak thief when we have bigger problems, we are no closer to finding the murderer (s?) in our midst. What has been stolen so far? Random items for their value, or is there a more sinister aspect to the thefts?

I didn't lose items, merely the gold I have.

Indeed, you could say that this theft has served as a distraction. Perhaps you could shed some light on any possible suspects?

Could this mean that you are the thief? ;) I agree though this thief is a secondary priority the murder is far more pressing. ANyway sorry for my lack of posting uni just started back for me and i am writing up my own game.

[God Emperor]

Touche, although I did notice that nowhere have you protested your innocence. Why is that so, Godemperor?

Because if I defended myself at every term, I would be Panicking and that is very suspicious according to many. However not doing so, apparently also is a sensitive matter. You seem almost eager to have something on me, and it makes me wonder.. Do you have some mission or grudge against my character

[God Emperor]

Also if we need to find new suspects, there may, with the imprisonment results, be some guilty people amongst our inmates. Skooma addict was imprisoned last night? (not perfectly sure how to read Secura's imprisoned list)

I personally beleive ArpeggiateTHIS to be innocent. Who had you Chaotix sent to prison durring the game?

[Romanic]

Beskar was imprisoned last night. People that Chaotix put in jail will not appear in the writeups, and we won't know about it unless the jailor or the prisoner tells us.

Not unless you actually are the thief that stole from me! Guards! Guards! Have this man thrown in the Deep Roads!

[autolycus]

I know we're supposed to be trying to find Lady Dordan's killer, but we have no idea of cause of death, and the murderer hasn't struck again. I think this purse snatcher is as good a place to start as any. Perhaps he'll lead us to other's in the criminal underbelly of this august city who we can force to reveal the murderer to us. Vote: johnhughthom.

Is there any evidence behind these accusations against God Emperor?

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Is there any evidence behind these accusations against God Emperor?

To be perfectly honest: not really.

To sum up my accusation: there's nobody else I can point the finger at, and Godemperor seems to appear and disappear at just the right moments.

[Beskar]

Well, I have a good collection of who ti might not be. Namely the ones who got robbed.

I want that theif along with the town crier, hanging from the gallows as bait for the darkspawn.

[johnhughthom]
