The Plains are technically wilderness, and Chasmfiends are scavengers meaning they’d only severely injure the victim instead of eating them whole (so the partial condition is satisfied as well) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23 I'm also looking at Nightmaw - would that suit the criterion as well? (And are hallendren dyes invested I dunno) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(And are hallendren dyes invested I dunno) If they're the Tears of Edgli, yes. The issue is that the Tears of Edgli are a subset of Hallendren dyes but I honestly think the better question is if Araris consulted Coppermind or agonised over it. I could see him shrugging and approximating with Tears of Edgli. I like Stick's chasmfiend thought though - it'd make sense of Slave at the very least. Because if Nightmaw, you'd think he'd go for Working Class or Peasant, which is an approximation of Trapper. Slave is specific. And we now know 'Slave' doesn't seem to relate to the Evidence, so... Edited to add: 56 minutes ago, Amanuensis said: Do we reckon metal in general (such as Metal Flakes, Corroded Silver, or Aluminum Ingots) would count as invested? According to Coppermind, no. But my pre-Coppermind intuition was yes. So the question I feel is whether Araris would have gone with Coppermind or not. I think the fact the pre-Coppermind intuition, as demonstrated by Mat, says yes is good enough reason to think Araris might have counted it. Feels a bit like the 'is tomato a vegetable or fruit' debate in this context. Sure, technically it is a fruit, but if you're trying to put a category that people will recognise...

Posted March 23 Just now, _Stick_ said: Yes! And the applications of bloodsealing are pretty close to slavery in comparison to other ranks. Though does the sudden sound clue fit? Loud chasmfiend noise? If death was swift, there might not even have been screaming, or the chasmfiend roaring would've covered it. I'm going through the other options right now on my spreadsheet, but I think that the fact this at least accounts for why Araris thought the Slave clue mattered and went for Slave over Peasant/Working Class is a point in its favour. The one issue with a Patji animal IMO e.g. Nightmaw is that you have to explain why he didn't just go Peasant or Working Class. We know it's Invested Evidence, and that appears to have little to do with Slavery or Wilderness, just looking at our list of Evidence candidates. I might consider burning my Accusation to knock this off the table, if you'd rather keep yours in reserve, but I don't want to make that decision prior to actually going over my spreadsheet for other possibilities first. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23 My brain is screaming TJ Nightmaw Death Rattle but I dont really get how elderly slave fits in there and like the chasmfiend would probabbly not be a sudden sound Im pretty sure and you know what @Araris Valerian Im making an accusation I accuse TJ of using a Nightmaw and leaving behind a Death Rattle 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 23 (edited) 21 minutes ago, _Stick_ said: Though does the sudden sound clue fit? I think - or at least was stumbling towards this thought yesterday - taking it too literally is not helpful because if death is not instant or fairly instant, there will be screaming as well, meaning no 'sudden' sound. I take this to mean that the encounter -> cause of death -> death has to be fairly compressed together, not that there has to be literally just one sound. A chasmfiend roaring as it detects prey, killing the bridgeman more or less instantly/via severe injury, would sort of fit that ballpark, especially if Araris wanted to rule out more prolonged options. But this is me theorising here, I'm still fixing my spreadsheet for C2 info. Edited to add: Let's track failed Accusations as well. Aman - Sart = Whitespine + Lockpicks Alpha - Wiz = Pistol + Bullet Casings Sart - Archer = Stone + Black Sphere Edited March 23 by Kasimir 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 23 Quote Allomantic metals are the focus, but not the source, of Allomancy's power.[7] When an Allomancer burns a metal, that metal's specific molecular structure acts as a conduit to Preservation, and then the Allomancer is granted an ability corresponding to the metal, allowing the metal to "focus" Preservation's power to the user. Each metal is the only way a mortal can access Preservation and the power of creation,[8] after which it is vaporized.[9] However, this is only true for the base sixteen Allomantic metals and not God Metals or their alloys. This is the specific statement with regard to Allomantic metals, which strongly implies they are not themselves Invested. There's actually similar* statements for Forgery or Bloodsealing but my intuition is that Araris likely didn't hairsplit, so we are better off not going down that trap. 3 minutes ago, Araris Valerian said: No. I act surprised... Death Rattles really don't seem like a good fit for Invested Evidence. I think the failure of Sart's accusation makes me think Archer is likely cleared as well unless someone believes Parshendi is persuasive here.

Sure I can do it. My other option was Mat, Bands, Rotspren and I have an elaborate theory about how that would count as wilderness but I’ll try this one it’s better I am making an ACCUSATION U_U against Ashbringer. For he has used a Chasmfiend to commit murder and left behind a bloodseal as evidence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
