Araris Valerian he/him Posted October 20, 2022 Author Posted October 20, 2022 Yeah, the game definitely has enough players to start on the 22nd. This is one of the largest games this year I think, which is awesome! 1

Kasimir he/him Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Word came when I was drinking in the local hole, trying to put myself several feet under the ground. Drowned in the wrong sort of drink, my ma'd always said, her lips pressed together in disapproval. Was all she ever said of my pa, and once I'd thought I'd druther lose my good left hand than touch aught to drink. Didn't want to run towards the same type of end as my pa, drowning the long way around. Guess I don't mind it so much anymore. Dyring makes a good aquavit, the sort that burns your throat and numbs the edges of the great big nothing that finds its own way inside of you. We all have demons, see. Sometimes, you want to do summat. You want to face them, wrestle them until the sun's light kills them, makes them retreat so they can't do aught but crawl beneath your skull, whispering. Sometimes you know to the marrow of your bones that nothing hurts, even the nothing hurts, and you'll do anything foolish like drink it away until the night is spinning behind your eyes and the setting sun washes the town in blood but the nothing aches all the same and you've burned a hole in your pocket again. It was that sort of night again. See, there'd been rumours before that. Always whispering, always talking, everyone is. As though we're like to collect words, rumours from the traders, and set them in a neat row and say we know summat of the world. Word was, the Lord Ruler'd gone to put down an uprising, and people were more tetchy than usual. Wasn't sure why. It wasn't our problem. The further God was from us, the better. If there's anything you can put your hand on in this world, it's that. Sahren sat down at the table in front of me, spikes driven through his eyes. They buried him last week. Worms nibbling at his guts. Think I threw up at his funeral. Had been blind drunk the night before, trying to hold off the screams. Trying to bury the knowledge I wanted to shout from the rooftops, scream until they buried me, drowned me the wrong way around. "They'll kill you all." GOINGTOKILLYOUALL. Sahren smiled. "You're all going to die, you know," he said. I spat. "Hell with that," I muttered. It's a bittersweet symphony, that's life. Tryin' to make ends meet, you're a slave to money, then you die. Guess I'm giving in, it's Tyrian, I need a distraction so I don't fret myself to death, whatever. Signing up as Koren, a washed up former guardsman and the village drunk.

Araris Valerian he/him Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Just over 5 hours until the game starts! Last call for more players . Edit: Also there has been a minor rules adjustment; Mistborn will receive abilities at the start of each Day, rather than each night. Which only matters in anyone pulls Thug D1, but there it is. Edited October 22, 2022 by Araris Valerian
Araris Valerian he/him Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 Okay, signups are closed! Day 1 will be posted shortly. 1
Araris Valerian he/him Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 Lord Hadrian Penrod surveyed the wrecked storeroom. Barrels were smashed to splinters, and their contents could be seen staining the floorboards amidst piles of ruined grain. The place looked as if a pack of Koloss had helped themselves to a meal, then smashed everything left on the way out. Even the door was barely hanging askew on one if its hinges. Evidently the culprits had one or more Thugs working for them, if they could cause this kind of damage in the time before the guards had arrived. “Milord, good news!” Hadrian turned to face the newcomer, one of the town watchmen, who was dragging a corpse across the ground. “What’s this?” Hadrian scowled at the man. “Another guard dead? How in the Lord Ruler’s name is that good news?” The guard let the body fall, sighing with relief, and gestured for Hadrian to approach. “Not a guard sir, it must be one of the saboteurs! Looks like he ran out of pewter before he could get away.” Hadrian perked up at that. Whoever was making mischief in Tyrian Falls, at least until now, had been very successful at staying hidden. He bent down to inspect the body and noticed an odd protrusion from the front of its shoulder. Hadrian tore away the man’s shirt, revealing… a metal spike. Just like an Inquisitor. When the shock of that discovery wore off, Hadrian thought to turn over the body and inspect its face, and was shocked to realize he recognized the man. “This is… this was Etam! He served in the Lord Ruler’s army alongside me, putting down the Southern Rebellion. I can’t fathom what would have…” Hadrian’s voice faded as his face became stony. “Call the townsfolk. Whoever these… spiked are, obviously they are mixing with the general population. With the reports of the Koloss garrison acting strangely, we can’t afford to let this go on any further. No one leaves the town until the other culprits are caught and executed. Everyone must play their part.” Etam was a Spiked Thug and Old Friend! Day 1 has begun! PMs should all be delivered shortly. There is a 1 vote minimum to exe a player, with ties decided randomly. PMs are open, and should include both myself and @Elandera. Go wild The cycle will end at 5 PM EDT on Monday the 24th.

Mat he/him Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) (Third) Excited to play! First time we’ve had 20+ in a long time. Probably allows for a more interesting distro, but I only say that because I have an interesting history with Tyrian distro guessing I forget— are group PMs allowed? Edited October 22, 2022 by Matrim's Dice
The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 4th. This is my first game!

Kasimir he/him Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 I staggered out into the street. I glared blearily at the light, stabbing into my slitted eyes. Rusting light. Did it have to be so rusting bright? There's a quiet peace at the bottom of a bottle, they say. Lasts you 'till the few minutes it takes for the ache to return, for shame to burn deep in the pit of your belly. Then you reach for the next bottle. Eventually the night passes in a bleary smear that you can't quite remember. It's better that way. I don't recall how many bottles it took for Sahren to disappear. Spikes driven into his eyes. I grimaced, and shuffled along. What a bloody gruesome phantom he was. I'd drunk with worse demons. Some of them, as it turned out, were even what passed for nobles these days. That was how I heard about Etam. "...found Etam," one of the villagers was saying. "Had a spike stabbed through the front of his shoulder. Damnedest thing, innit though?" Spikes. I shivered. The best way to describe it was that it felt like someone was walking over my grave. I remembered not-Sahren's smile. "You're all going to die, you know," he'd said. Foolishness, that. We're all going to die anyway. I was just taking my time about it. I glanced warily about, wondering if Ora [OOC: Devotary] was anywhere in sight. Never liked Ora none, I did. Something about Ora always put my back right up. Maybe it's the drink, but who knows what the miners dig up? Easy to hide anything there in the darkness of the mines: spikes, bodies...Rockfalls happen curst often enough. "Lord Penrod is demanding everyone pull their weight," someone was saying. I shuffled on. Maybe I could've once, but I'd drunk that man into oblivion years ago. Figured I'd live with myself better this way. 3
