LG 106 - Aftermath: A Ruinous Wrath

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Aftermath: A Ruinous Wrath

Var had been confused ever since he entered Blackkeep. That hadn't stopped him from dutifully working on the city's sanitation, though, and for a while it seemed like he and Madiane had a good working relationship. Even when she'd become mayor, she'd had his back, and even taken some time to work on the latrines now and then. Which was why he found it so confusing when her finger joined the others pointing at him as a Spiked. Surely if I was a killer they'd have picked up my stench at one of the murder sites. Or maybe... they just can't tolerate me stinking up the place any longer. Var backed away from his former companions, but the retreat was half-hearted. He'd given his all to save Blackkeep, and it wasn't enough.

Keldorn saw the resolve firm in the faces of the other townsfolk, so he drew his sword and rammed it through Var's heart. This job had gone better than he'd expected. He'd known Blackkeep had it's fair share of allomancers, and his team had been rather small for such an important task. Noticing Teal that night almost made him want to quit work, since surely he'd never be as lucky as that. A strong pull on the boy's emotions at just the right moment, and Blackkeep's only Coinshot had died to his own coin. His only regret was that he'd had to do Aral in before things wrapped up, since the man had been a professional. Easy to work with. But, well, opportunities to silence scouts like that didn't roll around very often. With precise news of the army's arrival silenced, this job should wrap up quite nicely.

Distant cries suddenly rang out from the north side of the city, and Madiane's eyes were drawn toward the wall, and the gap that had never been repaired. Giant blue humanoids were climbing over the rubble, each bearing a massively oversized sword. As she looked on in horror, several more showed themselves at the top of the wall, hurling down shapes that looked suspiciously like armored bodies, before jumping inside Blackkeep themselves. The Koloss, noticing the small crowd around Var's corpse, began to lope down the road leading to the town square. The mists began to coalesce between the buildings, but seemed unlikely to provide a way to escape the impending massacre.

Josha, still donning his signature blue robes and pointy hat, reveled in the unfolding violence. He burned tin, drinking in the screams that echoed within the now-misty streets of Blackkeep. The he dropped a coin and pushed, launching himself toward the south end, away from where the Koloss had entered. He'd see how many people he could make "disappear" before the troops arrived to finish the job.

Mil sat atop a pile of weapons, happy to enjoy his collection while Blackkeep burned. It hadn't been much trouble to make sure some water from the poisoned well got sent up to the various guard stations around the city, and once they'd been incapacitated, he'd begun scavenging. A few of the men had weakly clung to their weapons when he tried to nab them, but a quick flare of iron had overpowered their grips. Now he just had to decide where to hide the treasure of weapons before the Koloss got any funny ideas.

---

The next morning, most of Blackkeep was ash and rubble. The Koloss, calmed from their battle rage, now moved in orderly groups, digging up rubble and searching the ruined buildings. Every now and then a survivor would dart out into the ruined streets, only to be cornered by blue bodies and cut down. The silent search went on for hours, and the Koloss began to grow agitated with each passing minute. Their search was in vain.

Mil, Josha, and Keldorn turned from the last room underneath the old Ministry building. Their master wanted atium, and they'd all heard the rumors. But though both Mil and Josha had sense plenty of metal sources, there was no atium to be found in his ruin.

"Noooo!"

They turned as a voice screamed in frustration behind them, and each recognized the man formed of dark mist that had sent them to Blackkeep. 

"It's not here! He must have been involved somehow. But he is dead now." The man's face twisted in a satisfied sneer. "He cannot Preserve this town, or this world, and longer." The figure vanished with a sense of finality.

At the same moment tremor shook the ground, and from the west a red light began to rise from the peak of Mount Faleast. The shaking grew worse, and the earth itself split, a fissure forming east to west that stretched the length of the city and stretched well into The Black Lake. Water poured into the new channel, the lake The cloud of fiery ash and projectiles of molten rock from the west met the chilly waters of the lake with a roar, and Blackkeep, along with the Spiked, Koloss, and any possible hidden survivors, vanished under the force of ruinous wrath.

Mil appeared in the Cognitive Realm.

He could feel himself fade already, the holes in soul from Hemalurgy leaked Investiture back into the Spiritual Realm, but he still had a bit of time as others appeared around him. He was finally free of Ruin.

That was a very fun game! Thank you @Kasimir and @TwinStorm for being awesome teammates, even though the timezones never permitted me to interact with the latter. Thank you everyone else who played, basically everyone was suspecting me but not enough actually voted. Finally, thank you @Araris Valerian for GMing. 

[TwinStorm He/Him]

That really fun! Thanks to @Kasimir and @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren for being great teammates, and @Araris Valerian for IMing, and to all the Villagers

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Congrats to @Kasimir, @TwinStorm, and @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren for winning! Kas had me completely fooled the whole damn game, and even if I had survived and gone for KSauce, I don’t know if I ever would’ve expected Kas to go next. And TwinS, you did a good job of staying low but interacting just enough to make me think you were probably just a disinterested villager lmao.

I was right, by the way! Completely village! I was framed! Lmao

[Hoid Slayer He/Him]

Kéamen was writing when Keldorn found him.

After his talk with Var, he had run off to the cliffs beyond the village. Now, he scrawled on metal, hoping his words would outlast him. His flared tin alerted him as soon as the other man landed behind him.

Kéamen wrote out the last letter in his message, then stood, not turning to face the man he had called his friend. His hand trembled. A tear dripped down his face. But his voice was full of resolve.

"Do you know what Var told me, Keldorn? Do you know what he said as he awaited his death, knowing his innocence? Do you care? Did you care about any of them?" His voice cracked.

"He told me that if I was one of the Spiked, he congratulated me. Said you played us all like fiddles." Finally, Kéamen turned to meet Keldorn. His face was red, and his lip quivered. "But I don't congratulate you, Keldorn. I condemn you. I wonder if you truly understand what you are doing. I wonder if there is an inkling of the man I thought you were, somewhere deep in there. I thought I knew who you were. I trusted you." His voice broke, and a heat spread through his body. Then it faded, replaced by pure contempt.

"But I guess that was just another lie.

"Just another secret."

...

A Week Later

Hoid walked through the ruins of what had once been Blackkeep. Finally, he stopped before a pile of collapsed rubble. A quick brush, and the writing was uncovered.

As you read this, I am dead. Even now, it pains me to write these words. My hand trembles. My heart thumps. And deep down, my soul collapses with the knowledge that I was not enough.

Hoid shut his eyes. In moments like these, he doubted. Seeing the destruction wreaked by the powers he had rejected. He forced himself to refocus. He would finish reading this.

He owed it to the man whose life was inscribed in this stone.

I was no Mistborn.

Just a mortal man, doomed to die.

As all men are.

Slowly, Hoid forced his eyes back open. And went back to that night.

Even God has proven himself not beyond the truth of mortality. Eventual ruin is the eternal damnation of all life. We mortals play our lives like fiddles, unwilling to recognize their worth.

And their fragility.

A Week Ago

"Hello, Hoid."

Hoid turned, and looked directly into the eyes of Kéamen. In that time, all he knew of the occurrences in Blackkeep were from Kéamen's account. And Kéamen... had failed.

For a long time, I believed there was a better world out there. Always at my fingertips, waiting to be grasped. A reality where all my dreams came true. Where I could reach my potential.

Hoid prepared to respond, then looked at the other man. His eyes were bloodshot from a lack of sleep; his hands stained from writing. And in his eyes, Hoid saw fear. He hesitated. How could this boy be so broken?

It seems that was a lie.

Kéamen was the first to look away. He rushed through his words.

"I know I messed up. I interfered when I shouldn't have, and the entire town knows who I am. I know I ruined your operations here. I'm sorry." Hoid heard the man's voice crack. He was fighting back emotion. For a second, Hoid felt a stab of sympathy. Then he brushed it away. Yes, this business was hard. So? It wasn't Hoid's fault if the boy couldn't handle it.

It is the lie we all follow, the cloth we all hold before our eyes, blinded by hope. Hope is not a bad thing, by any means. It is a reminder of what can be.

"Well? Are you going to say something? Just go ahead, tell me I'm a failure." Hoid saw the Kéamen reel back as the words left the boy's mouth mouth. Like he regretted it. But instinct kicked in, and Hoid struck back.

"Oh, I wonder why I would say that? I gave you a mission, and you couldn't handle it. I thought better of you, Kéamen. You were my student."

But I'm tired of walking in search of that hope. Why can we not build it where we are?

"Yes, because that's all I will ever be, right? Your student?" Kéamen's tone was rising. He turned back to Hoid, and there was a fire in his eyes.

"Kéamen..."

"I have spent years trying to be enough for you. I snuck into every tower, recovered every piece of information. And I never looked back. But now I see. No one can ever be good enough for you, can they? No one can ever even get close to you!"

As we have squabbled and fought, powers have plot our destruction. They have pulled threads, manipulating us, laying the path for our downfall. I wonder if they realize the truth of what they are doing.

Hoid lashed out, voice sharp.

"I don't NEED people to get close to me. You speak of matters you know nothing about."

"I speak of matters I know EVERYTHING about. Someday, everyone is going to realize what you are. You're alone, Hoid."

Or if they are too far gone to care.

Perhaps he should have paused. Given himself time to think. But it had been a long time since Hoid had been faced with such questions. And old wounds were slow to heal.

"Yes, I'm alone. And I'm fine with that. You knew what you signed up for. Why couldn't you pull through?"

"I've completed every mission-"

"Then why not this one?"

I used to think I wanted secrets. But now, I just want them to be over. Because of secrets, I have seen good men tear each other down, or leave others behind, seeing only their form of truth.

For a while, silence reigned. Hoid could see the heat simmering behind Kéamens face. Finally, it was the boy's voice that cut the silence.

"The people of Blackkeep need help, Hoid."

Hoid's response was instant. "We aren't here to give out help. We're here for the greater good."

They are all, each and every one, wrong.

"The greater good of who? Because what I see are people suffering, right here, and we're not raising a finger to help." Kéamen was waving frantically now. His voice was raised, his earlier inhibitions gone. Hoid was tired of their discussion. But he couldn't resist the urge to make one final remark.

"Maybe that IS the greater good."

"Then it's not a greater good I want to be a part of."

Tonight, we drown in secrets.

Hoid stood, shocked. Had Kéamen just... rejected him?

"Boy..."

They stifle us, tear us down, leave us behind.

For a second, they both stood there. Eye to eye. Heaving. Simmering. Then finally, face wet, Kéamen turned away, and stepped towards the door.

"Goodbye, Hoid."

They push us ever closer to that brink of eternal damnation. They are the weapon of our enemy.

Hoid watched, powerless, as Kéamen pulled open the door and stepped outside. Neither said a word until the door was almost shut, and Kéamen turned around one final time. The fire in his eyes was gone. All that was left was a cool emptiness.

"Oh, and Hoid? Someday, you're going to find yourself in a situation where you need help. And there will be nobody there."

I condemn the force that makes us go through this.

Current Day

Hoid stayed standing in the ruins for a while. For the first time in centuries, he felt a tear slowly begin to drip down his face. Then he brushed it away, and turned away from the rock, beginning his return.

"Goodbye, Kéamen Wither."

Yet I worry the truth of it lies in our own hearts.

Woo!

Okay. Was not expecting that.

Thank you so much to @Araris Valerian for running this game! It was really a lot of fun, even if I couldn't be active the entire time. @StrikerEZ, I'm sorry, I should have seen the signs. But we were all fooled. On that note...

Excellent job to all the Spiked, but especially @Kasimir. I was not expecting that at all, and though I did get a little more suspicious at the end, it wasn't enough. Honestly, you played us all perfectly.

Thank you to everyone else as well for making this game incredible!

There’s not much to it. There was just a period of time where I kept getting executed very early. It was practically a given that I would be a D1 execution option. The funniest one was a game where it was more based on Avalon almost. I was a spy who knew all the identities of the elims, but I couldn’t just come out and say it because the elims had a secondary win condition of assassinating me. But, because I’m me, I ended up on the chopping block D1. At the very end I panicked and revealed all the elims’ names last minute. I was like “aha, the elims can’t assassinate me because I’ll be dead!” Wrong. I had missed a portion of the rules that said I was immune to the exe. So the elims could just assassinate me and win. They called the game there and restarted it with a new distribution.

Ask @Kasimir about it. He was one of the GMs for that game.

Village played well IMO. I think Storm and KSauce were decently under pressure in PoEs, there was just insufficient follow-through, I went into D4 expecting to need to bus KSauce until it seemed that Village had gotten completely distracted on Striker, which was a moment of "Okay...guess I'll roll with it?"

3 hours ago, Hoid Slayer said:

Your scheme was good, and I was more or less honest in dealing with you in terms of that being what I'd do as Village. The one thing I did not do was I did not point out to you that beyond trying to draw the kill, the entire PM scheme should have been taken as a reaction test and dropped into the thread and summarised for analysis the next day. I think you were correct to catch Storm on the basis of an anomalous reaction, and I think KSauce would probably be findable on that basis too based off what he was saying.

I tried to warn them it was coming but honestly it's just hard to get Elim teammates to read the doc in time, or to actually react appropriately to a reaction test and at least one Elim is usually findable that way via anomalous response.

Yeah, sorry. I wasn't going to fish for another ML when you were doing the job so excellently  This was one endgame where convergence would've been 100% understandable because we'd expect the Spiked to try to bus you here, though I definitely think there are side-worlds where a Spiked team would try a thunderdome here: split the vote, hammer the tie, and then kill in the night.

I'm interested in your thoughts tbh! I felt that on a raw distro meat-and-potatoes basis, the distro favoured my team (though not with regard to player comp.) Village not having any protection from the Coinshot or the Spiked kill seemed rough, and I felt it was lucky that Storm never drew Steel balance-wise.

And yeah I did a PoE and RNGed to make Trips shoot himself. I guess I can retire now, between this and AG8, I'm never exceeding this peak, it'll be downhill from here

Yeah we basically gave him the title "Striker Kalebane, Terror of GMs, Shield of the Lynch" after that game both because he kept getting D1ed so it's like he's shielding everyone else from the D1 exe, and the Terror of GMs was because Hael and I had planned for most game-breaking outcomes...except for the one where Striker didn't read the rules and therefore didn't realise he was immune to the exe, and...yeah, we then had to panic and ask the IM if we could rerun the game.

Village not having any protection from the Coinshot or the Spiked kill seemed rough, and I felt it was lucky that Storm never drew Steel balance-wise.

I ended up pretty happy with how things turned out. The general thought was to give the village a Coinshot over a Seeker, give the Spiked a Lurcher and a Rioter as countermeasures, and have the game lean mostly on the exe. The village had 3 Smokers, the idea being that maybe one would get in contact with the Coinshot, but in the end that didn’t help.

If I could run this playercount again, I’d probably do 4 Spiked, with no Mistborn but a Smoker, and give the village a Seeker. That would take a lot of the volatility out of things; Rioter/Smoker/Lurcher is a pretty good defensive lineup against a Seeker and a Coinshot, and losing any one of those would not spell disaster, mechanically speaking. And a village Seeker would ease some of the analysis burden that gets otherwise increased when all communication is via RP.

A less major adjustment would be to give the village either 1-2 Thugs or a Lurcher, but I’m less comfortable with that because of the previously mentioned volatility; stretching the game out would just give more opportunities for the elims to lose a key role.

Honestly interesting reasoning doesn't matter. Dead is dead, so you're still in trouble if they get a train on you and there's a kneejerk Elim tell people sometimes look for - it's the one where the player gets a bit overly-defensive of the reasoning. I suspect there are correct ways to play it off, e.g. "This is bad reasoning, therefore I feel this player is struggling to manufacture suspicions" or "This is bad reasoning, they're just trying to push an agenda/find a reason to have a vote here."

But it's common enough Elims will just focus on the goodness/badness of the reasoning without drawing inferences from it enough that it's suspicious. LG83 basically had the Elim team complaining they were being sussed for bad reasons, but the Village was still utterly and accidentally correct and Village kind of doesn't really care as long as you're correct

15 minutes ago, A Jo in the Bush said:

IMO wrong reason, right targets, good enough. Your reads were generally solid  The only shame was they didn't get pushed hard enough. My judgement call on leaving you alive with keeping the PoE wide enough, and also that I didn't think you'd get enough thread buy-in for that push.

The one thing you probably didn't account for was that I'd changed my Elim playstyle since we last played V/E in that game from...I don't recall who, Elan? Yeah I think it was Elan.

Tbf I was also not really sure how much the M&M Discord server would change my Elim playstyle so this was a first for me in terms of bringing it back to SE. I think M&M has generally been good for me in teaching me to chill both as a Villager and an Elim but especially as an Elim, so the fluidity in reads you noticed was just me going with the flow and being comfortable in reacting to things/forming reads in the moment.

I guess in general I'm happy with the development in my Elim playstyle. I was nursing some health issues near the end and had two panic attacks but figured it was generally a step in the right direction. I did want to beat the allegations I couldn't play an Elim game without PHing out though. 

Shoutout to @|TJ|, @StrikerEZ, and @The Unknown Order. One day we'll get our Elim game together but I must absolutely insist you call the game and be Punk to my Cena. I ain't got the energy to call, I just want to chill and slack off

Slight suspicion Jo might have a power role. I’d like to keep him alive for a cycle more, so I’d probably redirect him, but if we can’t manage him and need to kill him, then so be it. Let’s see how the cycle develops. He hasn’t felt particular urgency to exe, in our PM—he’s mentioned that the actions of tonight should give us more information. IMO neither Soother nor Rioter interact in a really informative way, so I’d be wary of his being a Seeker or Mistborn here.

@Kasimir, I can be chill dude. Sometimes I just want to be chill and not push an early execution. Also, and no one ever commented on this, I was playing how Jox would act, because it was an RP game! At least, early on I was. 

Quote

I think Storm should scan Jo. He has PMed me. So far it’s still about RP stuff (what bread I want, can I read the list of what type of bread he must deliver). But I feel like he might have a plan.

My plan was to see who liked talking in PM's. That was it.

There's too many bits in D1/N1 where you guys think I'm hinting I have a role of any sort. I don't think I've done that in years.

Quote

Jo might remember that Smoking has a place.
<snip>
I’m actually aggressively defending Jo with the hopes that if/when I flip, they’ll go for Jo next. Jo might remember this one, busted it out of Wyrm’s playbook from an ancient game where Jo and I were V/E (MR3.)
<snip>
Jo will state it in thread. It’s what a good Villager does.
<snip>
On reflection, if the Coinshot wasn’t Soothed, then it soft-rules out Jo, Ash, Striker, TJ, and Bip as Coinshots. All of these people would 100% take the shot.

I don't even know what to think at this point. I don't even remember the last game I GM'd, let alone the third storming Mid Range, what?!

And like, why would I take the shot? Is that an accepted part of my playstyle? Did I N1 kill someone as a villager at some point? I really don't think I would kill until like, N3 as a villager. 

Sometimes, the way people talk about me makes me worry that someone else has been playing on my account. I don't think I'm nearly as good as people think I am.

Quote

Because actually there is only one gap and we know there isn’t a chance in hell there is no Lurcher in this game, so from a Village perspective, Jo is either being way too naive, or he just exposed the Village Lurcher, who…everyone was already counting on to save us tonight.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure if I was being naive or just playing badly there when it's laid out like this.  Especially since, like, there wasn't a village Lurcher? IDK.

@Kasimir, I can be chill dude. Sometimes I just want to be chill and not push an early execution. Also, and no one ever commented on this, I was playing how Jox would act, because it was an RP game! At least, early on I was. 

More that it's generally accepted that it's not good Village practice to avoid the exe, and you've heard the debate enough I figured you probably would be sold on the consensus view. My other thought was that if you're a regular Villager, you don't really know the distro, therefore should have reduced faith in night actions saving the game for the Village.

(To be more precise: if I'm an Allomantic role, I have reason to believe there are probably other Allomantic roles. If I'm a Villager, I can believe this is a roleslite game.)
