Jaime’s blade was bloody as he limped his way back into the camp. The people of Gathert fought well, but the Koloss offensive was unrelenting. It was a matter of hours, now. Then another town would fall, and the plague of death would spread.

Jaime pushed the flaps of his tent open briskly, prepared to gather his things and sneak away from this doomed battlefield - to find a thin, white haired stranger lounging on his pillows. Immediately, he whipped out his sword and pointed it, but the stranger lazily waved him down.

”Who are you!”

”Just the person you need.”

”Answer better, or I’ll see your head rolling on those blankets.”

The man sighed. “Ahh, soldiers. Always so quick to aggression.” The man reached down to grab something from his side, and Jaime immediately tended, but the stranger just pulled out a paper. Jaime watched intrigued as he carefully unfolded it, revealing a map of a town.

”What is that?”

At last, the man smiled. “An opportunity. Tell me, Jaime… how would you like to avenge your brother?”

Phew!

Thank you, everyone, for such an incredible  game (even if I was dead for like 90% - the real game was truly the dead doc we made along the way ).

So my biggest thanks go to @Furamirionind, my loyal companion in lifelessness, and @DrakeMarshall, our wonderful GM who definitely did not give us too many hints. Fura, ever gonna follow up on that Shardbuddy offer?

Large apologies to @Doc12, I may have tunneled on you a little there . But hey, at least I’m not the one who killed you.

I also feel like I owe an apology to @Araris Valerian; while e!reading Araris is one of my favorite hobbies, this time (and every other time I’ve done it) I was wrong.

Elims: you guys played an incredible game. @Ookla the Broken, you especially. I said in the dead doc I’d give you a standing ovation, and I am a man of my word.

*standing ovation*

My favorite memes:

 

Thank you, it was really nice to know I had yall fooled for most of the game, I didn’t expect to fool the dead doc. I didn’t expect to really fool anyone, this was only my second game after all. 

this was really fun with yall, when the anniversary game signups come, yall should tag me if I don’t see it, I can’t wait to do this some more.

Also, the Dive Captain America one was pretty great

even with perfect play, the village needed RNG on their side to win.

*ahem* That's kinda what I do.   

I told Drake this on D4 and later I told Doc but at the start of Day 4, I rolled an 8 sided die and compared the results to the player list which had 8 players left after I removed the dead and myself.  I thought that three elims would be about right for the way this game was set up so I rolled my die until I got three names.
Results were:
IHAT
Honor
Honor
TUO

I had a strong feeling that 2 of the 3 were evil but had Honor as the most likely chance at being evil or at least the one doing the killing.  Alas I was wrong in my translation.

I'm kinda disappointed Drake didn't reveal this to the dead doc as those that know me would've enjoyed seeing my dice still going strong.  

Many thanks to @DrakeMarshall for running this game and putting up with my nonsense orders about trying to build a nightclub.  The village may have lost the game but at least there's somewhere for the Spiked and Shards to relax until next time.

@Divergent I loved the analysis you can into the game with and how you were trying to solve the game.  Fantastic work and I really hope to play with you more in the future.

That was... *wipes brow*... intense

Hats off to @Ookla the Broken, I suspected you the whole game but you managed to get me to not vote you.

As soon as I saw it was you three...

I knew I should've though more of the last-second Doc hammer

Anyways thank you @DrakeMarshall this was a really fun game. I'll read the docs eventually.

Edit:

Well that was my Wallfacer plan. Wasn't really a plan at all, and it failed, but I'm still going to call it one

Now I can finally get my old display name back.

I think I did bring it up but it might've been a couple turns after the fact

The dice knew what was up.
