Cause, Archers vote on Illwei is missing, Illweis vote on Mat is missing and my vote on Ventyl is also missing. Mat claimed he had two chalk during the Day so they most likely came from him. Also, some good news, I used a Bucket of Acid during the Day so that's one less Chalkling we need to worry about. 36 minutes ago, Araris Valerian said: I dumped some acid, so we only need 2 lines of Warding. 19 minutes ago, Condensation said: I forgot to grab something. That's my bad. Hey, will someone remind me to follow the thread, please? I keep forgetting. Hey Connie follow the thread. So we actually only need one. Edit: but of course others are good.

Kasimir Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Duncan sighed. Another good man down. (Matt, lying broken on the ground. Dig in what had turned out to be his own grave. Jain, staring suspiciously at the survivors, eyes darting from Aaron Roddy to Ronald.) You never knew. That was the whole problem. He stared down at his hands and let them rest on his knees. Willed the shaking to slow down. The wild chalklings were outside, and he could feel the white fuzzy edges of terror, even as he tried to focus on his ragged breathing. Blackbane and Elysian had claimed to have laid down acid buckets to defend against the horde outside. This meant they needed one more bucket of acid or Line of Warding to prevent the camp from being overrun. In addition, a number of people had claimed to have done things in the day. The quartermaster's logs showed that Daughter of the Prime Forest, Frederick, Atreco, and Grace had all been noted as having claimed items from the supplies. Duncan himself had tried for an acid bucket, though Daughter had beaten him to it. Evan, too, had apparently been beaten to a map, as had Faleast. The Rithmatist going around pretending to be a thief [OOC: TJ Shade] and Illwei had both claimed to have tried to affect the voting on Joshua. As far as Duncan could tell, this meant they had two things unaccounted for: whoever had tried to remove a vote on Illwei, as well as whoever who had stolen the Bribe from Archer. The identity of the thief didn't matter to Duncan, though he had his suspicions. As long as the thief wasn't interested in getting them all killed by wild chalklings, Duncan wished them luck doing what they had to and getting out of this alive. This did mean that based off the strength of the quartermaster's logs [OOC: Apodictic certainty] and off the slightly weaker strengths of claims, their pool of people who could have tried to tamper with the court martial was reduced to: Tia Vuur, who had mostly been staying out of sight, Servant of the Mad God, Nicole Cooper, two others from a different platoon whose names Dunca did not know, though he'd seen them around camp [OOC: Flyingbooks and Shard of Reading], Shimamura Sakura, Connie, Kaniae Moreau, Respected Madman, and Tria Noche. Far too many possibilities for Duncan's taste, though he supposed it was good for the thief. The real question was: was the attempt to meddle with the voting benign or malicious?

Sart Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Time for another Rules Clarification post: Quote Where are these questions coming from? I'm quoting some of them directly, but I've been paraphrasing others. A few of these I've been coming up with before anyone asks them. Quote How does a Line of Silencing interact with a Bribe? If both the Bribe and Line are targeting the same person, the vote is cancelled, and the Bribe is wasted. If the Line targets the person using the Bribe, the vote of the Bribe's target becomes a no vote. Quote How do Lines of Vigor and the Specialized Line of Forbiddance interact? Specialized Lines of Forbiddance block Lines of Vigor, but the action itself can still be blocked. This is kind of tricky, so let's break it down. Let's say Player A uses a Specialized Line of Forbiddance on themselves. They cannot be affected by Lines of Vigor and kills. Now let's say Player A uses a Specialized Line of Forbiddance on Player B. Player B is immune to Lines of Vigor and kills. However, Player A is not immune to Lines of Vigor or kills. If Player A targets Player B with a Specialized Line of Forbiddance, and if Player A is targeted by a Line of Vigor, Player A is blocked, so the Specialized Line of Forbiddance never happens. In this case, Player B is now vulnerable to the kill or other Lines of Vigor. Quote Can I use a Bucket of Acid during the Night? No. Unlike Lines of Warding, which must be done at Night, the Acid Bucket can only be used during the Day. Quote Do the Forgotten need to use an action to send in their kill? Yes. This means a Forgotten can't kill someone and use an item during the same turn. Quote What does it look like if a Specialized Line of Vigor hits someone going for an item? The target will be told that they failed to grab the item, which is identical to the response when RNG doesn't favor you when grabbing from the Camp Supply. Quote How does court-martialing the Non-Rithmatist or the Thief affect the Strength of the Chalklings? The Strength of the Chalklings remains the same. Quote Is there any way to reduce the Strength of the Wild Chalklings, besides lynching a Forgotten? Nope. If you want to tame the horde, you have to deal with their masters. Quote Is the Shadowblaze consumed if the Non-Rithmatist gets it? Yes it is. This means that the Forgotten would no longer benefit from the reduction in Defense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devotary of Spontaneity Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I also went for a map and failed. The most obvious possibilities for the person who removed Illwei's vote are who voted for Illwei. Ashbringer, Ventyl, StrikerEZ, Random Bystander, Condensation, Matrim's Dice Definitely wasn't Matrim, Striker, or Bystander, and both Ash and Condensation claimed something else, so the last aboveboard option is Ventyl. Even if it was someone trying to save Archer instead of Matrim I think these are the options. If it wasn't @Ventyl ,then I think it's malicious.

StrikerEZ Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Okay, so, sorry @Matrim's Dice. I tunneled on you so hard. I’ll worry about what this means for us later. For now, I’m just going to say that someone has claimed to me that they will be using a LoW tonight. We only need one other person to protect tonight, if we want to be extra cautious. The elims have about a 1 in 13 or 1 in 14 chance of predicting which player has claimed this to me and roleblocking them. Or they could try and roleblock me, though I would not recommend them attempting that as it will waste their chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I had no Chalk anyway, because I used my D1 action to take the Lantern and my N1 action to draw a Line of Warding with my starting Chalk.

Ookla-son-son-Ventyl Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Sakura walked away from the camps make-shift court room, wiping chalk dust off her hands. The white dust stood out against the darkness of the night as it feel to the ground, spotting the grass. She’d used her Rithmatic abilities to insure the indecision of the group would truly be left up to fate. Fate had chosen Mat. And so, an innocent man died once more. She returned to her tent to wash any left over dust off her hands before returning to the court tent to bury Mat’s body. Sakura had taken it upon herself to bury each wrongly killed person. No one stopped her, partly because of her poor English, and partly because they didn’t want to infringe upon the punishment she was giving herself. She’d played apart in each of the innocent Rithmatist deaths, she would pay for her sins. Sakura carried the dead man’s body as respectfully as one could. She walked through the dark woods, each step careful to avoid ditches and mud from the previous nights rain. Her entire body was sore ten minutes into her walk, her arms shook from the weight of the limb body, her legs shook from the burden of its weight. It didn’t help that she was still sore from doing the same thing last night, either. When she reached the upturned dirt form her previous excursion, she set Mat’s body down and crashed to the ground in exhaustion. Her breaths were ragged, short burst of air in and out, straining her lungs. It was fitting she suffered so, and that her suffering had not truly begun. Two hours later, Sakura finished digging another deep grave. Her body screamed in pain relentlessly, every inch of her frame ached in agony. Her limbs begged for her to sit, to fall asleep in this grave she’d dug. It would be fitting. It didn’t matter that she longed to return to her love, she deserved to die here, along with her falsely killed comrades. She pulled herself out grave and set Mat’s form into it. Sakura walked away from the burial ground, wiping the sweat off her hands. The droplets bringing false hope to the grass below, as she returned to her tent and let sleep overcome her.

+Lotus Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Daughter of the Prime Forest sat at her watch post, watching the night. She could sense, rather then see, that the Servant of the Mad god was nearby. He was continuing his experiments. Daughter didn't approve of what he was doing, but there was no use trying to stop him. That had never worked out well, and besides, they were only humans. She pulled out a piece of chalk, flipping it in her hand. The magic here was so strange. Why chalk? Why that particular type of stone? And why was it so based on math... She continued to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araris Valerian Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 I suppose it's worth asking, is there anyone that ignored the RNG defense plan N1?

The Unknown Ajah Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Time for my item reads, way less this time. Lotus grabbed a Bucket of Acid Village until we know if they us either or not. StrikerEZ grabbed a Spring-Powered Crab Also fairly Village, could be Elim hoarding/spying. Null+ The Unknown Order grabbed a Map Once again the most villagy villager villaging thing possible. Random Bystander grabbed a Map Possible thievery, also decently village as well, I don't see much reason for an Elim to take a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
