Quick-Fix 57 - The Infiltrators of Elantris

[The Unknown Ajah]

The officer at the border wore an expression of attentive boredom, with more emphasis on boredom than attentiveness. There were few men manning the post, no more than five. Little competition for the Monks. 

"Kind sir, can you please state your name and purpose in coming here?"

The monk, ignoring the officer, calmly grabbed an axe, not a hatchet or some other axe that could be used to cut wood, it was an axe of war. It also was clearly not meant to be thrown, the Monk either didn't know, or simply didn't care as he threw the axe with blinding speed at the man in front of him. More Monks stayed behind him, unmoving, it was considered the prerogative of the highest ranking Monk to take the kills. Moving faster still than any human, he dashed forward to grab his axe, snapping the kneck ot yet another officer while moving. That left three. With his axe again in hand, the Monk split another man in half before blocking the attack of yet another officer in the same motion. The man who had just attacked swept his blade back to slash at the Monk's side. When the Monk moved his axe to block the blade, the swing turned out to be a feint that reversed to cut at the Monk's head. However, attack failed to draw blood due to a faster than human duck. The Monk then cut diagonally, beginning at the man's shoulder and traveling to his hip. The man fell to the ground, the Monk was surprised by a stab forward from a a silver skinned man. The blade moved in a complex motion, slashing diagonally, then making a circle, then slashing in the opposite direction diagonally, then cutting at the face, the in to conflicting curves before slicing at the feet. After that last swing, a bright light flashed forward, killing the Monk. The man stared at his sword in disbelief. While he was absorbed in his awe, another Monk stepped forward and beheaded the man.

"Ignorant men have no idea what they fight, to Elantris we must go." The Monks stepped over the body and across the the border into Arelon.

During the skirmish, a sign had fallen. It read,

"Welcome to Arelon, home of Elantris."

Spoiler

 

Elantrians: Standard village faction, will all have a role. Must eliminate all Dakhor Monks to win.

Roles:

Spoiler

 

Elantrian of Death: Can use the Aon Reo to kill a player. You may kill two players, but once you kill a villager, you can no longer use your power.

I’ll play.

You should probably reformat the thread title to actually say ‘Quick Fix 57’ instead of ‘QF’. Though the future threads can have QF.

Welcome and thanks.

One question- the elims’ replication would go like this, correct?

C1: Kill Watchfulness -> Steal Watchfulness (can’t use) C2: Kill Death C3: Use Watchfulness

They could use Watchfulness C2, just not the same cycle as stealing.

Edit: Nevermind, was remembering wrong. That is correct.

Meet Kene, a trinket seller who has a shop right outside of the Elantrian gates, selling memorabilia and the like at a very good price for all the tourists

[Szeth_Pancakes]

yaya i'll join

no rp character im too lazy

[Shard of Reading]

I'll join.

Are there PM's in this game? I'm assuming not because you didn't put anything in the rules, but I'd still like to make sure.

Edit: Also, when does this game start?

[MintSilverTea]

Many warnings beforehand: a.) I know nothing about elantris, just kind of wanted to join a game

b.) I haven't played this before, so I'm just assuming it's like Mafia. Sorry if I mess up somehow.

c.) I'm a student, so might miss a few cycles here and there. Most likely won't happen, but is a possibility. 

...can I still join the game? I'll join as Zephyr the bard. Sings songs about things no one quite understands, with a fondness for fruit and a tendency to always be broke. (Sorry for the blatant referencing, is this legal? I can change it if not...)

Hello there... would you like to hear a song? I know many songs... don't cross me or I'll give you a taste of the melody of eternal sleep.

Welcome to SE! You don't really need to know about the flavor of the current game, although it can be helpful for RPing. We also tend to spoil lots of things, as a minor warning.

It's like mafia, but with a bit more reasoning and discussion than the in-person version.

As to the last, this game will likely go for 4-5 days, so I'd say if you can commit to being active for 4 out of the 5 potential days (although being active the whole game is clearly the best result), then sign up. Otherwise, I'd wait, since inactive players can mess up game balance by quite a bit, especially with a low player count to begin with.

[The Unknown Ajah]

Hello Mint!

I agree with everything Araris (Ookla the Porched) said. I'd also recommend reading the general rules and etiquette thread, as well as this games rules if you haven't already.

Got it! 4/5 should be easily doable, and I'll be sure to read the related threads. Thanks!

Ill join

[Ookla of Colors]

do you need more players? if you need more players i'll play, otherwise i'll pinch-hit.

[The Unknown Ajah]

Go ahead and Pinch-hit, there's a while left for signups and we almost have my hoped for player count.

[Experience]

Leo floated. Or... at least that's what it felt like. He wasn't sure where he was anymore. But wherever he was, it was nice. No worries. No pain. 

So he stayed where he was, feeling... nothing.

Ignoring the nagging feeling that he was supposed to do something. Because if he listened to the voice, he would have to worry again. Feel again.

And so he stayed. Scared of what he was, but terrified of what he might become.

 

Wish I had the time to play again, but I'll just have to spectate.

Oh do you mean 2pm? The post says AM  That makes much more sense.

[Ookla of Colors]

I'll be a pinch-hitter. If you specifically need more people, then I'll play (but will probably be a bit inactive until the end of the LG)

[Archer]

Seems like you need more bodies. I'm in as Body, the arch-nemesis of Illwei's character.

you’ve gotta make me an elim so it matches my title
