Long Game 15: ...The Shards Themselves...

[Hellscythe he/him]

Well alright then I'll retract my votes on Steph.

It's not that I have a grudge on you steph you're just my biggest lead.

[Arrae]

Where has everybody gone?

Can kandra scan HI?

[Alvron he/him]

Sadly the Kandra can't scan the HI.

[Arrae]

Awww 

 

That would solve all of our problems.

[Hellscythe he/him]

Hellscythe, did you scan the hemalurgist to make sure that they are really a hemalurgist?

No, but seeing as I haven't turned yet I'm going to take his/her word for it. I have other people to scan tonight.

Edited December 7, 2015 by Hellscythe

[queensteph she/her]

OK hellscythe I feel honored to be highly ranked in your thoughts.

I also think we should scan the Hemalurgist.

[Elkanah he/him]

I agree with Lopen and Steph. Once we know if the Hemalurgist is good, we'll know about the HI.

 

Also I was roleblocked tonight. I'm half honored and half afraid that I'm going to die.

[Hellscythe he/him]

I misinterpreted what steph said, but I think you guys are focusing on me too much. I don't care how evil it might sound whether I'm good or bad doesn't matter that much, I'm not affecting the outcome. Whichever team I'm on doesn't get an extra member added to their total. There's only 11 of the rest of you left, and depending on how many traitors are left our days are numbered. I'd say there's 4 left just based off of math. (32/4 = 8) (8-4*dead*=4) if we mislynch because we didn't scan somebody else when we were instead scanning the hemalurgist then it's suddenly 6 vs. 4 and we don't have a scanned, and we lose the next day if we mislynch again or the mistborns misfire.

[phattemer]

Seeing as I don't think the Kandra is trustworthy, I won't vote for who they should scan. Scan yourself, Kandra. We can't depend on their results because we don't know whether they are village.

[Elbereth she/her]

I agree with Lopen and Steph. Once we know if the Hemalurgist is good, we'll know about the HI.

 

Also I was roleblocked tonight. I'm half honored and half afraid that I'm going to die.

Wait, I'm confused. Didn't Arrenae get roleblocked last night, too? Are there two Awakeners left? I thought there was only one.

[Wyrmhero he/him]

The Turn is over! No more PMs please.

Day 9: Parallel Universes

 

Slowly shuffling through steel stairways, a man clutched at the railings and pulled himself along. He winced with every painful step, every single one an agonising gnawing at his left leg. It stopped responding for a moment, and he groaned, reaching down. He realised it had caught on a step, and hauled it up. Blood fell from his arm as it moved, the second of his two lacerations making him grit his teeth and bite down a scream.

 

He picked himself up, half walking and half falling up the stairs, until finally he reached the plateau of the next floor. He fell over, onto his back, breathing heavily with the exertion. Sweat dropped off his brow as slowly his breathing quietened, and his heart rate returned to normal. It was too much, he thought to himself. A set of stairs had killed him.

 

But no, death did not descend upon him. He may have blacked out a few times, he couldn't tell what the time was in the motionless and lifeless corridors of the Shardship, but he was still alive. That was what mattered. Slowly he prepared himself mentally and physically for the next part, pulling himself up at the side by the wall, slowly dragging himself along, leaking blood all the way behind him at a steady rate.

 

Biggoron smiled to himself slightly as he found himself outside his destination. He'd walked a long way, and much of it he couldn't remember, but he was here. He raised his arm to knock at the door, blood trickling down his arm and into his shirt. He stood there, arm outstretched, fist clenched. He blinked slowly, as it became hard to think. Then he fell forwards, through the door, and lay on the floor, blood oozing from his Coinshot wounds. “M... Medic?” He eventually spluttered.

Rae hummed to herself as she slunk around the corner, only just managing to stop herself from whistling. She tossed a coin up in the air, catching it with her other hand and throwing it at the roof, catching it again as it pinged off. She chuckled to herself lightly, and continued on her patrol.

 

She crouched down at the next corner, flipping the coin in between her index and middle finger. It shined bright enough in the dim light and with her tin senses that she could see her reflection in it. More importantly, if she put it around the corner, she could see other peoples' reflections in it.

 

Unfortunately for Security Officer Nova, it was at that point that someone came down the corridor behind her instead, rendering all her hard work and effort for nothing, and stabbed her in the neck with a Shardknife.

 

---

 

Cor woke up suddenly, and he immediately knew something was wrong. It was not an instinctive thing, nor was something he needed to spend time thinking about before coming to a conclusion. The answer was just that he was woken up by someone else.

 

Captain Heron stood before his bunk, dressed in his full regalia. He kept looking around every so often, every squeak and sound of the ship setting him on edge once again.

 

“Uh... Captain,” Cor saluted, somewhat mindful of the fact that the Captain's hand was not leaving his gun holster for very long.

 

“I've tried,” Wurum muttered, half to himself and half to Cor. “But it's continuing. The dreams. The visions. The premonitions. There must be something that connects them, something that binds them to this reality. There must be a link, there must be a link...”

 

“Are you feeling alright, Captain?” Cor asked, still not moving from his bunk for fear of provoking his Captain. “I have some painkillers, if you'd like them.”

 

“No!” Wurum replied. “No. They dull the visions. I've kept it together so long, so very long, but... I need them. I can't stop myself from seeing them, not now. Not when we're so... close.”

 

“Why are you here? Uh, Captain,” Cor added, wondering if laying the Captain out for his own protection would count as treasonous. He could probably get there before the Captain drew his weapon. He just needed to surprise the man. Hm. Surprising a man who had precognition. This would be tricky.

 

“I have had three hundred and thirteen dreams about this. How they go. How they may not go. Sometimes I'm dead by now. Sometimes I die at the end. Sometimes I never die at all. But they've taught me much, yes, so much...”

 

“Captain?”

 

Wurum drew the pistol out of its holster. “I'm sorry, Officer Mordero. In three hundred and thirteen of my visions, you are the villain in one hundred and fifty seven of them. I can't take the risk anymore.” He fired, Steelpushing on the bullet for extra force. It struck Mordero in the head and he fell backwards, his blue-grey pillows slowly turning a sticky red.

[Arrae]

Uh... Wyrm, I'm female.

[Wyrmhero he/him]

Whoops, fixed. Also, you mean 'I was' >>.

 

I've also added something else in, as there was a message I forgot to deliver.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

Well that was not quite the outcome I was expecting. I'm not sure why Alvron was killed by a Mistborn and I would like to hear an explanation from Biggoron about that survival. I have a few theories about what this all could mean, but I'll hold off on explaining them for fear of releasing sensitive information that I shouldn't. It might not matter at this point, but I haven't quite thought through what Alvron's certain innocence means. I think it might have been Arraenae who killed Alvron, but I'm not sure.

 

Wyrm, if a Mistborn is killed at Night, will their attack still go through for that same Night?

[Elbereth she/her]

Whoops, fixed. Also, you mean 'I was' >>.

 

I've also added something else in, as there was a message I forgot to deliver.

I mean, you almost fixed it. There's one "he" left.

Also, Surgebinder? A bit late, wouldn't you say?

[Clanky he/him]

So Biggoron. I had heard that you were a voidbringer. I guess someone lied and I don't think it was the person who told me.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

I mean, you almost fixed it. There's one "he" left.

Also, Surgebinder? A bit late, wouldn't you say?

 

Our Captain did just shoot someone y'know. You might not want to upset him.    

There is still a "himself" and a "his" just so you know.

Better late than never. Although in this case, the Surgebinder was wrong so.......

 

Edit: .........That middle sentence was in white text. Just pretend you didn't see it.

All kills are simultaneous.

[phattemer]

So, person who knows who the kandra is, feel like revealing them so we can at least discuss lynching them? I really it would help. Totally not evil guy trying to get the seeker killed... yup, totally not.

[Hellscythe he/him]

So Biggoron was attacked by a mistborn then protected by an elantrian.

It couldn't have been a voidbringer self-protection because of the role's description.

 

"Indeed, any kill action targeting them is cancelled automatically, and never even happens. The attempted-killer will be informed that they could not find their target. The Voidbringer will not be aware of this." - Wyrm

 

The kill action would have never happened, we wouldn't know about the kill/survival process. Only the mistborn would know about the attempted kill. Unless Wyrm accidentally miswrote the writeup this is the only logical explanation.

 

So our problem is that the mistborn and our elantrian are not on the same page. I'm assuming both of those roles are on the good team because the mistborn didn't kill randomly for the first few cycles. If the mistborn was evil they would've most likely killed the first few nights to get good use out of their role. I trust the elantrian for reasons that are only obvious to me because of who it is and what they've done and said.

 

Also yes why was Alvron shot? He was our only kandra proxy. Does anyone else know who the kandra checked as good or bad? 

[phattemer]

(hellscythe  'd me)

Ok, so 10 people left:

 

1. Gaius Tekiel (Orlok)

2. Obsidibus Caesis Dormiam (phattemer)

3. Volke (TheMightyLopen)

4. Doctor McClay (Clanky)

5. Elby (Elbereth)

6. HELLSCYTHE (DeathClutch19) - Uninvested - HI

7. Steph (QueenSteph)

8. The High Priest of Elkanah (Elkanah)

9. Ember Ghetti (Burnt Spaghetti)

10. Biggoron (Biggoron)

Role Remaining of the 10: At least 1 Voidbringer, the HI,  at least 1 Surgebinder, at least 1 Elantrian, at least 1 Mistborn, at least 1 Kandra, at least 1 Feruchemist, at least 1 Biochromancer, maybe a few uninvested. 

My best guess: 

1 Surgebinder: only 1 message

1-2 Elantrians: Even with only 12(Not the HI) possible targets, a protect isn't likely to hit the same as the Eliminators.

1 Mistborn: Someone killed Cor

1 Kandra: Unless there is some elaborate plot I don't know about.

1 Feruchemist: Queensteph is a Feruchemist.

1 Biochromancer: Arraenae was RBed a few nights ago and none have died since.

1-2 Uninvested: To fill in the gaps.

1 HI: duh

1 Voidbringer: That's me, and I don't think there would be 4 Voidbringers.

My best guess at which role is whose:

Known:

phattemer- Voidbringer

Hellscythe- HI

Queensteph- Feruchemist

Guess:

Biggoron- Elantrian? Self-target seems likely.

Remaining:

Orlok

Lopen

Clanky

Elbereth

Elkanah

Burnt Spaghetti

To fill the roles: Elantrian, Surgebinder, Mistborn, Kandra, Biochromancer, and Uninvested.

At this point I would ask that people reveal their roles, since if the Eliminators do have a kandra they probably know most already, and if the Traitors know something there is no reason for the Loyalists not to.

I have set an example with my own reveal, and I hope that other will follow suit. Also, my guess at the remaining roles on the Traitor team:

They've lost a Voidbringer, Forger, Hemalurgist, and Uninvested, so I think they have a Biochromancer and a Kandra left. Plus the HI, since we've now had 4 Hemalurgists dead and I highly doubt that there were more than that, considering the possibility for Forging more. Also, Hellscythe, assuming I'm right you now have access to the doc and would know who the kandra is.   

Since I am invulnerable to night kills, if anyone doesn't feel comfortable sharing in thread you can PM me your role this night. Oh, and if the Mistborn would like to confirm me as Voidbringer by attacking me I am fine with that too. Although I suppose it could just mean I have  Biochromancer who knows who the Mistborn is. Actually I will probably be role blocked then killed tonight, so please don't actually.

Also a point about win conditions: The Traitors, minus the HI, only need to equal or outnumber the loyal crew members.

7 loyal- 2 evil- 1 evil HI

Any two of 1. mislynch 2. mismistborn 3. eliminator kill

5 loyal- 2 evil- 1 evil HI

At this point the evil people can easily control the lynch, because while the HI can't be lynched he can still vote. Nearly every loyal person would have to be on and agree to survive this. Unless Queensteph is still alive, so they will probably be a target.

If all 3 happen, we are dead as town.

If 2 loyal 1 evil die from the three possible kills in this cycle:

5 loyal- 1 evil- 1 evil HI

This should be fine. The Traitors would need to get the Loyalists down to 1 person to equal them. We should be able to find the last evil person in the meantime.

If the mistborn gets it right and we lynch right, we win.

 

At the danger of being lynched for not providing anything new(see I made a reference to day 1 hahahaha...):

Mistborn: I would say don't target anyone. If you greatly suspect someone try first going after them for the lynch and seeing what their response is.

Elantrian: Since I will probably be double-tapped (RB and kill) tonight, I would appreciate some protection. If there are two (and we can coordinate something) maybe target Queensteph since they will be very useful as vote-manipulation with only a few people left.

Voidbringer: That's me!

Surgebinder: Post something to prove it's you! I suggest a code.

Feruchemist: Hi Queensteph. Just be careful you don't kill someone who is loyal. 

Kandra: If you're loyal (I hope not, if so I will feel dumb.) just keep scanning for alignment.

Biochromancer: If you're loyal, don't RB anyone.

So if someone gets RBed, we will know that the Biochromancer is evil.

If someone gets killed by the Mistborn, we will know that the Mistborn is evil.

So if you are a loyal Mistborn, please don't kill anyone tonight unless you've revealed already. 

Edited December 8, 2015 by Ookla the Fat

[Elbereth she/her]

Phattemer, if you're right that the HI has turned, it's likely that the eliminators will be targeting someone with a more important role than you. I don't know exactly which roles the HI knows, but at least one of them is the Elantrian, I think.

Also, as long as whoever is roleblocked posts that they are in the thread, we should be fine, and the Elantrian can target that person.

Lopen, didn't you announce about Steph being innocent? If you're in contact with the kandra, do you know who they were targeting?

I think that what Wyrm clarified meant that Arrenae theoretically could have killed Alvron. Alternatively, it could have been the still existing Mistborn and she targeted Biggoron. In the second case, though, there was still some mechanism behind his survival and not just that she died before she could finish the kill. I agree with Phat that it seems like it was an Elantrian from the write up.

Speaking of Mistborn, do we know if Arrenae was Adavantos' Mistborn, or the one he wasn't in contact with (at least at the beginning, when he talked about who "his" Mistborn had targeted)? Because if she was the one Adavantos was in contact with since the beginning, it seems very likely to me that the HI knew who she was, and this thus makes me suspicious of the HI.

Also, we finally have evidence that a Surgebinder is around again! This is literally the first message since Day 1. Yay!

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

@Phattemer, I'm not sure we should have everyone reveal their role while the Traitor BioChromancer is still on the loose. That just doesn't seem wise.

 

@Elbereth, Yes I am in contact with the Kandra. I have a plan with how I think we should handle the Kandra situation.

 

A. If the Kandra's scan comes up as Loyal, then we lynch the Kandra(they already said they wouldn't mind being lynched, so they're okay with this, as far as I know.) By lynching the Kandra, there are 2 possible scenarios.

 

1. The Kandra turns out Loyal and Lopen(me), Orlok, Steph and whoever they scanned last Night will be confirmed, making 4 living confirmed Loyals, with only 9 living players left(1 of those being the HI, and if the Kandra scanned the claimed Hemalurgist and they turn out Loyal, then we would know that the HI is on our side as well). I think this would give us an excellent chance to win.

 

2. The Kandra turns out Traitor. Well then, we killed a Traitor and would be that much closer to winning.

 

B. If the Kandra's scan comes up as Traitor, then we lynch that player. Again, two scenarios.

 

1. The lynched player turns out to be Loyal. We then Mistborn the Kandra, because they would obviously be a Traitor.

 

2. The lynched player turns out to be a Traitor: We lynched a Traitor. 'Nuff said.

 

 

How does this all sound to you guys? I don't see any problems with it myself.

 

In the case of plan B scenario 2, we might still want the Kandra to be hidden, so to all the players that haven't posted yet(Orlok, Burnt Spaghetti, QueenSteph and Biggoron), please post as soon as possible to help protect the Kandra's identity. Maybe you could comment on these plans? I would like to know how everyone feels about this.

[Biggoron he/him]

This ship is terrifying. So many decent fold bein' murdered up in here.
And lil ole me survivin' like a chicken on Thanksgiving!
Anyways, I like Lopen's plan, but it really doesn't take effect until tonight...by which time I might be lyncheroni'd.
If revealing my role is really the only way to give myself a chance of surviving, I guess I'm fine with it?2?
I'd rather not die right after I patched myself up after last night's horrifying events!
