You appear to be missing some context, Venli. I have confessed to killing Torol - I was not in a position to kill either Jasnah or Thaidakar. Read my previous posts as to why.
In terms of actions, I'll be passing an item along to Ash this turn - I'd therefore ask people not to roleblock or redirect me. Action spying is fine.

I didn’t try to kill Jasnah. As I said, my wincon was passive, which other people can testify. Jasnah is a close ally of mine in any case, so it would be counterproductive for me to try to kill them.
I therefore find it likely there is another murderer around.

“I understand if you condemn me for my actions. I have suffered terribly because of them.”
QuoteOther people can verify my wincon was passive until this turn, so I wasn’t responsible for the killings beforehand. Nor will I be responsible for any future ones.
I revealed this information to prevent other people from taking the fall for this. If I was going to continue to kill, then this wouldn’t be in my best interest at all. As I have stated, my wincon has been fulfilled. I’ll learn my new one next turn.

I’m going to come out and say it: I know who killed Torol. I did.
Let me explain. At the beginning of this turn, with the conclusion of my passive wincon (avoid any actions taken against me), I got a new directive: to kill any individual. I chose a target, and got some help. However, I got redirected, and my action killed Torol instead.
I would like to emphasise that I bear no ill will towards anyone here - not even the person I originally targeted. Torol’s death, while a tradgedy, still fulfills my wincon, and as a result I will not be targeting anyone else. I would also ask that people should not vote against me, as I have received my just deserts as a result of my actions and pose no threat to anyone else. Although I am understandably frustrated by the event, I do not blame the redirector either as it is likely they had no idea of what would occur.
Torol was one of my closest allies and collaborators, and his demise was an accident. I shared this information because I believed that I could trust others to make the right decision in light of these events. I hope I am right.

“In that case, Wit, you have a lot more work to do.”
QuoteI’m both on mobile and on the move, so I’m ill equipped to deal with this situation right now. If you know anything about any of the murders, PM me.

I’ll be very brief: we know Adolin was NOT responsible for this. Let’s not repeat what happened last time.
Further investigations are ongoing.

Welcome, Kelek 2.0.
Nale seems to have a motive for one or both of the attacks. That’s not an accusation, but it warrants further investigation.
And from what I’ve heard, the protection was entirely random - they weren’t aware of the attack beforehand.

Ialai was concerned by recent events. An ambassador getting killed was unusual, but not unbelievable given the congregation of Rosharans. Not every country was at peace with each other, and some might use a night like this to further their own goals.
An attack on a Brightlady, however, in the very same hour as the first murder... that raised some questions.
QuoteI was surprised at how blood-free the first few rounds were, actually. Given that the attack on Jasnah failed, I’d expect more murders to follow - if not multiple, given the AM. A new phase of the game probably begun.

Also, I’d be interested to ask why Adolin voted against Jasnah. Is there any particular reason?

As the timestream began to accelerate, Ialai considered Prince Elhokar’s offer. It seemed... interesting.
QuoteFirst kill! It only took 8 cycles. But that’s also somewhat concerning - it seems people are starting to get wincons that require people out of the way.

Ialai experimentally tossed a sphere in the air and watched it slow as it left her hand, worming upwards at a much more sluggish rate. An interesting phenomenon. Perhaps she was drunk, hallucinating. A rare occurrence for her. It hadn’t happened often, even during nights of reverie. And Ialai hadn’t drunk that much - had she?
Nevertheless, she considered throwing something at Wit, as it would make less of a spectacle while achieving the same effect, and decided against it. Instead, she plucked the now falling sphere out of the air and began to stride towards the others.

"Is anyone able and willing to search the rafters with me? I plan to lead a search ti discover who is up there."
"Of course, my King," Ialai said smoothly. "We would be glad to assist in your search."

Ialai agreed. “Liss has caused no end of harm.”

"It's an agreeable arrangement," said Ialai. "The commoners don't antagonize the royalty, and the royalty don't chop off the commoner's heads. Works for both sides." She wrinkled her nose at the animal droppings. Tearim appeared to be doing a valiant effort to clear the hall of the animals, and she had half a mind to applaud him. Eventually, though, the stench and commotion had caused her to have enough.
"Can someone get these chulls out of here?"

Ialai frowned. “We have both been close friends with many of the Kholins. Our accusation of Adolin was in self defence when we realised that he was plotting to kill someone, and we were mistakenly told it was Torol.”
QuoteThere are only ostracizations on whole-numbered rounds (ie the ‘day’ cycles).
And yeah, I didn’t fully understand the situation at the time. Now that I’ve wrapped my head around it, I admit I might have acted differently. I still think Wit is acting like he convinced Adolin to back out in order to try and protect him - now that he’s been kicked out, he’s trying to keep your story straight and shift the blame. But Liss has did something wrong with lying to them, although I’m less sure about what’s going on about that.

I was reading through yesterday’s thread and it appears I misunderstood some things. Not enough to wish I’d changed my vote, but there are certainly questions that have been left unanswered. Whether Adolin would have gone ahead with the attack and the whole Liss situation are both touchy questions, and probably ones that can’t be safely answered without fear of someone lying.
Ialai scowled at a passing chull, as if her piercing gaze would somehow drop it dead. The animal bleated and began to shamble in a different direction, trampling a chair. The wood cracked beneath a massive foot.
“Great,” she said. “Wit brought some of his friends.”
But, for all her pretended concern about the chaos within the hall, she knew that it was her inner turmoil that made her on edge. They had received faulty information - that meant someone was lying to them. And, amongst it all, people had been planning to murder. Now, Ialai was not above such things, but never had she tried to kill someone herself. She got other people to do it.
And, to further muddy the waters, someone else appeared to be lying as well. How much of what they said could be trusted from now on? How much of anything anyone said could be trusted?
Ialai hoped to get to the bottom of it soon. Because when everyone was lying, you couldn’t be sure of who was planning to stab you in the back.

She also let known the fact that Adolin was thinking about attacking people.
“So it’s all right for people to plan murder, but heaven forbid someone lets the authorities know! That way, we might actually have a safe and trustworthy society!” Ialai adjusted her hair, and continued.
“As far as I am aware, you did not reconsider your plan until the votes started flying. That in itself is a pretty big condemnation, let alone planning to revert to murder instead of using diplomacy.”

“He hasn’t done anything,” said Ialai, “but plot to murder a defenceless Beggar, then his own father, then accuse a Brightlady, his cousin, of sabotaging the treaty to save himself. They are now attempting to kill the person who revealed, at significant risk to themselves, their deception. That seems to threaten the court’s stability a little more, I should think.”
QuoteAesudan is Adolin’s cousin, right?

“Tearim,” said Ialai, “I think you should find it more concerning that Adolin may have been plotting to kill either Torol, one of Gavilar’s closest allies, or his own father. We should put Alethkar’s safety first, and the fact that Adolin has been confirmed to be planning for so long to kill his target instead of using diplomacy shows that he is a threat to all of us. We have no proof that his group changed their mind about the attack - in fact, we have opposite proof from a member of their own. I will therefore continue to hold my vote against Adolin.”

Aesudan is a yellow, not a green or a red, so you may want to fix that. Adolin is a good red.

“He appears to devote a lot of time to it.” Ialai raised her hands to draw attention. “Whether Aesudan was responsible for the attempt on Klade is neither here not there for now. I and others have voted on Adolin as we are concerned about the way he was approaching his goals. We received multiple reports that he planned to kill someone this cycle. I believe that Klade is unlikely to be attacked again as it would be hard to muster an appropriate following for two turns in a row, and I have yet to see evidence that proves that Aesudan was involved. For the sake of Torol, we must ostracise Adolin until he can come to his bearings.”

It appears everyone is misunderstanding what we are saying, so here it is. Adolin and his team carried out an action last night, and we have intelligence that they are planning to kill someone tonight as well.

“I agree with these claims,” said Ialai. “I have seen the evidence for myself, and Adolin Kholin is the culprit.”

Ialai stopped another smile as Wit left once again. It appeared Aesudan had a sharp tongue and mind, enough to match his. She would have to remember that, as she suspected that the Prince’s wife was often politically underestimated.
“A shame, indeed. Sometimes I wonder why King Gavilar fond enough to keep him, given how much he slanders his family and allies. How long can he possibly meddle with things? No matter. But the feast is going well, thank you.”

Ialai swirled the colourful liquid in her cup - she had downgraded to a yellow after some consideration - and pondered the situation. Perhaps she was hallucinating the oiled creature, or its prismatic sheen, but it had some interesting things to say.
”Jasnah, dear. I should think that keeping Amaram in the palace might benefit us if he could be persuaded to find a different target. If someone were to have a suicidal wincon... well, that would all work out nicely, wouldn’t it? And I’m sure that someone besides your dark-skinned friend who you seem so fond of has crossed Meridas at least once.”
