Now I won't have any loot to add to my inventory after the game is done. :(. But, I'm insane now, so hello RP opportunities. What'd y'all do last night? Shorter day works for me. Your character is already insane enough Nothing. Didn’t want to go insane. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I’m unsure on the shorter day. Might be fine, but I’m still undecided on my vote. I’d been sure of Szeth, but the last voting made it seem like the Elims wanted him to die. Does that mean the last Elim is Mat? Or Azmine? I’d like to hear from everyone. Sucks Archer won’t get to vote this round, makes it tougher, but we can still do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondesu Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I have it on good authority that Mat is the remaining Elim. Azmine, I’d like to ask you to change your vote, please. Then we can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 SNOOPS’ TRAVEL DIARY: THE FORREST OF DREAMS: DAY 47 I flipped the coin again. Heads. “That makes eight times in a row. You must have gimmicked it.” I threw it in the air once more. “Nope. It’s an ordinary coin.” Heads. “Can you make it land on the other side?” The copper spun lazily up and down. Tails. “Extraordinary. How are you doing it then?” “You’re the Professor, William. You tell me. All I know is ever since someone passed me this pendant in the night, I’ve had the devil’s luck.” He was quiet at that. Another noise broke the silence: a crackling wind. “Snoops, I don’t trust-” “Will, wait. What was that outside the tent?” “Just listen to me. That pendant is inscribed with an Elder Sign. The symbols speak of, of life draining. Rituals. Blood. I need time to study it, and until then I don’t want you carrying it around. Please…” He was cut off when the tent door snapped open, revealing a figure shrouded in, no made of shadows. A Shade, reaching directly for me. Grabbing my hair. Freezing me. Drinking my life away in a frenzy. “No!” William tried to smash at it. “Help!” He was far too late. I could feel my mind slipping into darkness. Everything seemed to blur, voices becoming incoherent. My editor is going to be so disappointed... And then, at the brink of no return… warmth. The pendant in my hand began to glow red and hot, hotter than a fire poker, but I couldn’t let go. AHISSSSSS. The Shade recoiled. William too was making noises of pain. They both shrieked, flailing in unison. “Sally? What are you doing!” He sounded so far away. My sleeves were beginning to burn. Smoke filled the space. Controlled by an unknown urge, I felt compelled to reach towards our party leader and touch the gem to his chest. I spoke words I had never learned. “Prey caught undefiled. I invoke my secret name. Wal-thlo-tal-mor, child. Your life be mine to claim.” The Shade groaned, and lunged toward his falling body, entering him as he collapsed to the ground, writhing. The lamp had gone out, but it seemed not to matter. I could see as well in the darkness as I could in broad daylight. I could see two hundred yards out of the tent, where a figure was crouching. Hiding and watching his handiwork. Familiar insects scuttled around his feet. “I see you, Philico. You can not hide from the magics that gave you power.” “Sally?” he called back. “Snoops, what are you talking about, I’m just…” Lies. “You killed Sally with your Shade,” I told him. “This body is sustained by a sacrifice. A life taken to fill a void.” Behind me, the last of William’s spirit left him, yanked by my pendant. I sighed contentedly. It felt good. I held up my hand, now branded with the symbol on the gem. “As I have been marked with an Elder Sign, I mark you, Sleepless One, for death. I will have your lifeforce, and with it, the knowledge how to use this gift.” I stepped towards him, dancing into the open night with glee. It was time to feast. Until next time. -Professor William Dyer *** I scanned Mat last night and saw them submit the kill on me.

Mat Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Gotta say- this is somewhat amusing. Like, you’ve done well, killed some elims... think you won... But guess what I am the real Professor Dyer. Archer, get exposed. Thread, get duped. ... Anyone? Didn’t think so :P. Wasn’t lying about you all getting duped, however.

Araris Valerian Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 I had a blast playing, so thanks @Elandera, @The Unknown Order, and @Devotary of Spontaneity for running things! The rules could definitely use some polishing, but that had plenty of talk in the dead doc, and I think I’ll wait to hear final thoughts from Elandera before I comment more. @Archer, I loved your RP character this game. Thanks for the smiles! My team was awesome, and in particular Vonnegut had an excellent showing as a first-time elim (which I totally ruined by forgetting to make an offering to the Gods of Luck and Chance). I hope you stick around for some more games! Also, this game marks the first time I read my GM PM too fast and missed my role (I saw Silver Bones but not Shade Expert). Some of my mild pessimism in the elim doc would likely have been mitigated had I not made that error :/. Despite it being very much my fault, I do think GMs should post all elim player and role info in the elim doc before the game starts, since a game could potentially get rather imbalanced by someone making a similar error.
