    The game has ended! Aftermath will probably take a while to get up.

    "We all received new Essence Marks. You know what that means. And where we're going, the crime is in the future. Will tWhhe testimony of fourteen individuals be enough to convict someone of something that hasn't happened yet? That is for the jury to decide. "While I'm at it, is it not against court procedure for a witness to participate on a jury?"
  3. Ecthelion III
    "Indeed, if the court had testimony like that, it would be quite decisive in this case. Let's hear the testimonies of these fourteen individuals! It shouldn't take too long...should it?" Remnant looked at the sun. It was now dipping low beneath the mountains. "Oh dear, it looks like night is falling. Wouldn't it be a shame if the testimony went on for so long, we were...swept away by it. Tell me, can you try a person for something they might do in the future?"

    "Well, if your client has a scar, it sure wasn't from me, seeing as that body was buried in Unkalaki and he has an entirely new body now. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it took more than circumstantial evidence to convict on a Murder Two charge. Eyewitnesses saw a hooded man stab someone, perhaps, but the 'victim' is not dead and 'hooded man' is hardly enough to recognize someone by."

    "Hmm. Before I rebut, do you possess any physical evidence of the murder?"

    Chapter Eight: Nightwatcher The sun dipped into the clouds above the hidden valley. The adventurers watched it from above, seeing the sun project patterns of dancing light onto the tops of the clouds. Skai’s Remnant broke through them as he came up from below. “He’s here. Come on, friends, let’s land!” No doubt the adventureres were wondering who “he” was. They would find out soon enough. As they all descended back down through the clouds, Ister Mo suddenly shouted, “Look! Behind us!” A group of forms approach from below. They appear to be riding dragons and are wearing distinctive armor which several of the adventurers recognize. “Huns,” Skai’s Remnant said. “Looks like they’ve upgraded from horses. We have to take evasive action! Get to the ground as soon as possible. Land near the lake, at the center of the valley!” From afar, Shan Yu smiled. “How many adventurers does it take to deliver the message to all of Roshar that we’re taking over?” He answered his own question: “Zero. Their bones will deliver the message for us.” - Skai’s Remnant landed in the valley beside the caravan. The caravan stopped. Then, a single rider came out to meet him. He was wearing full Shardplate. As soon as the plated Rider saw Remnant, he dismounted and removed his helmet. Dalinar Kholin himself. When he spoke, his voice was trembling. “You really came! I thought that was just a vision.” Skai’s Remnant smiled. “We both know it wasn’t a vision. After all, I gave you something. Something that I have need of urgently.” Dalinar walked back to the caravan and found a box—the box Skai’s Remnant had given him in a previous visit to this time. “I kept it, as you knew I would. Use it well.” The other adventurers began to fall from the sky, disengaging their wings and readying their weapons as they landed. Skai’s Remnant counted them off. One of them was missing—Ister. He looked around and saw Ister hovering above the surface of the lake. “No!” - The creature rose out of the lake, and Ister Mo floated a few steps back. It was like a spren, but hundreds of times larger and deep black. It spoke in a gentle yet powerful voice that echoed throughout the entire valley, but Ister was the only one who could hear it, maybe even the only one who could see it. Was he just having a vision? “Travelers come from the far reaches of Roshar seeking fortune and judgment. Tell me, little one, what do you request of the great Nightwatcher?” The sound of the Dragon Huns’ wings grew louder. “I want the power to save my friends.” “To save? Or to destroy?” Ister swallowed. “Those are two edges of the same sword.” “Indeed,” said the Nightwatcher. “And it is this sword that shall be your inheritance. To save and to destroy, to destroy and to save…what difference does it make except the side you’re on? Ister Mo, I grant you the power to save, but at the cost of destruction—or the power to destroy, at the cost of salvation. The choice is yours.” The Nightwatcher vanished, and Ister screamed. - It feels like I’m…splitting apart… Like any instant…I’ll scatter into a million pieces. But deep, deep in my soul, there’s a burning feeling I can’t describe. A burning feeling that WON’T let me die. This isn’t just about us, is it, Shan Yu? If you get past me, you’ll destroy them all. Everyone’s hopes, everyone’s dreams, vanquished in an instant. But I WON’T let you do that. Right now, I can feel everyone’s hearts beating as one. And we all have ONE goal. To defeat YOU. To save, or to destroy, it doesn’t matter. For the sake of this whole world… I, ISTER MO, will STRIKE YOU DOWN! In a brilliant flash of light, he transformed. His entire form radiated with power. He raised his glowing hands and attacked. - Skai’s Remnant watched with amazement as the transfigured man fought. He spun between his attackers as if in midair. With every movement of his hands, beams of light shot out and vaporized whatever they hit, leaving a trail as they flew from him. The warrior jumped onto the side of one of the dragons, killing the rider with a shower of light and steering the dragon aside into another. He leapt and twisted through the air, destroying the flying attackers before they even got near. It was a blaze of lights and fury, and it was beautiful. Men with the wings of eagles and demons watched from the ground in utter amazement. And then…it was over. The last dragon crashed to the ground, blood leaking from its side, and Ister Mo descended. The beams of light still hung in the air, tracing a web of where he had fought. “Salvation…and destruction,” said the voice of the Nightwatcher. The trails of light shot back into Ister and exploded. - Skai’s Remnant approached the lake. It was eerily peaceful; though bodies littered the ground, no sound was heard but the whistling wind. He walked across the surface of the water and was enveloped in the vision of the Nightwatcher. “Travelers come from the far reaches of Roshar seeking fortune and judgment. But you…you are different. What is your request.” Skai’s Remnant uttered only a single word: “Tanavast.” The following was contributed by The Flash. Shoot him some upvotes! Eobard appeared in the cognitive realm. Exterminated. Darn. He felt drawn beyond, but he refused to go. He had better things to do than die. Lightning flashed around him, and a rift in the cognitive realm opened. And eobard remembered how he had come here: in battle with the Flash, he had vibrated his body at a ultra-high frequency and he had come… here. So, Eobard stepped into the rift, and slowed down his frequency. Perhaps one day he would return. this place had piqued his curiosity. Battling the Flash, was becoming boring. A new universe to discover? He hadn't known entirely what was going on, but perhaps with some more visits… - When Eobard entered into the rift, he entered into the a maelstrom of red lightning- the Negative Speed Force, that which gave him power. He was in his element now. He took off within it, and soon he came to an exit point. From there, he tumbled into Central City. Home of the Flash. Eobard sighed. One day he would return to that place. It had been so much fun! One day, he promised himself. And with a KRAKOOM he went to go torture Barry Allen. This is a Night cycle lasting 24 hours. Nobody participated in the auction, so today’s auction item will be recycled tomorrow. Sometimes it’s best to bid even when you only have a couple gold, folks! Vote Tally (yep, I finally remembered it) Manukos (3): Joe, Araris, Orlok Roadwalker (2): Manukos, Brightness of my life Ister Mo (Manukos) has died and passed to the Cognitive Realm! Here is his autopsy report: And here is his will:

    The turn is now over! Night 4 will be posted in about 60-90 minutes.

    Or is it canonicality?
  10. Ecthelion III
    I play Lord of the Rings LCG, X-Wing, and Imperial Assault (a friend has all of the stuff for the latter).

    Another item of business I neglected to put forward: the auction and lottery prizes! There are only 1 of each this time around. The auction prize is an Essence Mark with a pattern on its face that looks like a book. The lottery prize is Firebringer's Lenses. Don't use them too close to wood. Or anything living, for that matter.

    Aonar Faileas has died and passed to the Cognitive Realm! Here is his autopsy report: And here is his will:

    Remember that this is a Day cycle, and the primary focus of discussion should be a lynch. Any red text denotes a vote.

    Chapter 7: The Wings of Angels “Skai's Remnant was found Guilty of Assault with a Deadly Weapon against Mr. Red Facemask! He has been fined one essence mark, to be given to the plaintiff,” said the judge. Skai’s Remnant chuckled. Then he laughed harder and harder until his booming laughter filled the courtroom. “Very well!” he said, “and how about I pay the fine right now.” He opened the box containing the spare Essence Marks and tossed one to Facemask’s ghost. “You’re going to have a hard time proving that murder charge, Mr. Tekiel,” Skai’s Remnant said smugly, “considering your client isn’t actually dead.” The judge slammed his gavel down. “Court is now adjourned for the night!” - Requiem slipped the bracelet onto his wrist. The outer layer melted into light which shot down his arm to his back, where a pair of gigantic wings sprouted. Around him, the other adventurers got wings of their own of all different sizes and types. Requiem tested his own; they felt so natural, as if he had had them all his life. He lifted himself a few inches off the ground. After allowing everyone a few seconds of experimentation, Skai’s Remnant spoke. “Because of the delay, we’ll need to travel as fast as our wings can carry us if we want to rendezvous with our friend at the Valley. It’s quite the distance, but I think you’ll find—“ he flapped his wings and hovered “—these aren’t just for decoration.” TO BE CONTINUED after I get more sleep. The main setting of this cycle will be in midair, flying westward from the Peaks. This is a Day cycle lasting 48 hours. Mr, Red Facemask (Alvron) has come back to the Physical Realm! Requiem (Drake Marshall) has died and returned to the Cognitive Realm! Here is his autopsy report: And here is his will:

    We just had a power outage, so...yeah. Expect a delay.
  17. Ecthelion III
    Night 3 has ended! Night 4 will be up in about an hour. Be prepared for some exciting news!

    Do I really have to sit through all this legal stuff? Fine. You're right, Mr. Hooded Cloak is basically my employer. And you're right, I did say, and I quote [clears throat and proceeds in a dramatic manner] "All rise for the Honorable Judge Phil!" I'm not a judge; I would never carry around all that certification paperwork. Too much work. However, you are taking it a bit too far with the Silverlight thing. You say "I made no action seeking to demonstrate to the contrary" that I was a Silverlight judge, but really now, the burden of proof lies upon you as the prosecutor. I never claimed to be affiliated with Silverlight, I only ever claimed to be a judge. Which is true! I claimed to be a judge, and I'm not really a judge. Sue me. Or since you've already done that, try to do something to me. Good luck, I don't have a body!
  19. Ecthelion III
    @OrlokTsubodai Let's get a ruling on the assault charge and Phil's charge before the end of the cycle, so we can get those out of the way and have them in the write-up. We can do murder, slander, and libel tomorrow.
  20. Ecthelion III
    Undertale! [finally] I also made my first foray into Fire Emblem and it was fantastic, so I will definitely be wanting to play more of those.
  21. Ecthelion III
    @Sheity Williams Yuri's voice from that game always gave me nightmares... generally the acting was bad but man was that guy creepy.
  22. Ecthelion III
    There is no Words of Radiance in this entire thread!
  23. Ecthelion III
    It's not adjourning yet. Jury will make final verdict tomorrow.
  24. Ecthelion III
    OBJECTION! It could not have been Adonalsium himself because I possess the conscience of one sixteenth of Adonalsium! I rest my case.
  25. Ecthelion III
    I find much fault with this statement: I did not have to defend myself? Mr. Tekiel, your client is not innocent. He was attempting to steal my Essence Marks, and as already stated, is a felony under Silverlight law. May I also note here that you have argued multiple times that we are indeed under Silverlight law and not local law. He was in the process of committing a felony, and I stopped him from doing that by using self-defense. While I may have mistaken his appearance for something else, that is not the point. And really, once again with the speculation? I did not assault a child, so whether or not I could have assaulted a child does not matter at all to this case. It should be common sense, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that if I defended myself from an unknown assailant and kicked a thief, I should not be found guilty of the charge of meaningful assault, let alone assault with a deadly weapon. As for your last point, I do apologize for that lapse in judgment. Your client just looked too much like a shadow monster. My mistake. (Do you think it would be prudent to move onto Requiem's charges and the murder thing and let the jury decide on this one? @OrlokTsubodai)
