I do have a pinch-hitter lined up, for what it's worth.

The trio of deaths the night before spurred the folk of Tyrian Falls to continue their hunt for the Spiked. Finding a second traitor after Etam was confirmation that the shadowy group opposing the town was both active and vulnerable. However, as the day progressed, the initial enthusiasm stalled. Nobody was able to connect Dancer or Etam firmly with anyone left, though a few names were tossed around. Eventually, his stomach rumbling with hunger, Adam pointed out that the town's resident Mistwraith, Shadowblob, was acting far too intelligently compared to the stories told of those creatures. From there, Terrific Birthday Disaster (who still hadn't visited Hadrian to get his name changed) noted that spiking a Mistwraith would dramatically increase it's intelligence. Not to mention that the creature was eating a significant amount of the town's stored meat. Of course, when it came down to it, nobody could figure out how to kill Shadowblob. Mistborn could control the Kandra, some said, but their relatives didn't share that weakness. The villagers determined to banish Shadowblob, but when they approached her, the mistwraith simply melted away, translucent ribbons of flesh evaporating into the nightly mists. shadow1 (Shadowblob) was a Village Tineye! Night 3 has begun, and will end at 5 PM EDT on Monday the 31st. PMs are still open! Edit: @Conquestor will be replaced if he doesn't post this turn.

RAFO

Nobody knew much about Riven, which made it rather hard for the Spiked to track him down. The small band of cloaked figures wandered the mist-filled streets of Tyrian Falls, keeping their eyes peeled for their quarry as they approached their next strategic target in the city. Riven wasn't an Allomancer. But unlike most people, he was glad of the fact. Liked things simple, he did, and the metallic arts were anything but. He figured that finding the Spiked was a simple matter of posting guards at key points in the town, and since Hadrian didn't have enough men to go around, Riven had volunteered himself. Unfortunately for him, the group of Spiked came upon him and slit his throat before he could call for help. ;eyes; blinked. She'd been patrolling with Riven, a few feet back, when several hooded figures loomed from the mists behind him and he dropped to the cobbles with a soft grunt. She immediately called for help, turning to find an alley to escape into. Flared brass staggered the pursuers for a moment, but one of their member made a visible effort of will and the Spiked regained their balance, turning to make chase. Suddenly multiple sprays of coins shot from above, aimed haphazardly at the entire group. ;eyes; felt several impacts in her gut as she was slammed to the ground, and one of the hooded figures, the one that seemed to be a Rioter, appeared to have been hit as well. Her last sight was of the Spiked fleeing into the night, the body of their companion slumped in the mist-wet street nearby. Here's a Tineye message: _Stick_ (;eyes;) was a Village Soother! Alvron (Riven) was a Village Vanilla! The Wandering Wizard (Too Big Dancer) was a Spiked Rioter! Day 3 has begun, and will end at 5PM EDT on Sunday the 30th.

Hold! Stop PMing and changing your orders! Night is over, day might take a bit.

Everyone welcome @Archer to the game, he is stepping in to replace Devotary.

If you were able to post it, it counted. I think maybe the thread doesn't close until 5:00:59 or something. So I'll take any votes through then.

Following the destruction of Dyring’s Inn, the townsfolk were rather muted. Up until roughly noon, no significant discussion had occurred in regards to finding the Spiked. Perhaps they were too in shock from the destruction of a staple of the town and the death of two of their friends. Or perhaps, after they had killed Derrick the day before, several had lost the will to pursue the infiltrators. Regardless of the reason, when Hadrian called everyone for a meeting he found that he wasn’t disrupting much of anything. He began, “We all feel the loss of Dyring and Koren, and I hope that their deaths will strengthen our resolve in the coming days. Everyone knew the work Dyring did, not only to run a solid establishment, but to care for his friends and neighbors.” Hadrian paused, as if hesitant to continue. “What you all don’t know is that Dyring kept a significant portion of our town’s food stores in his larder. His murder and the burning of the inn were targetted attacks against our supplies. Combined with yesterday’s attack on the main warehouse, the damage caused has significantly limited our ability to hold out in the event of a siege by the Koloss.” “In order to save lives in that eventuality, starting today, the remaining food in Tyrian Falls will be rationed at 3/4 of what is normally available for purchase.” A roar of outrage immediately burst forth from the gathered crowd. Edven suggested that Hadrian himself could be Spiked, though other voices quickly overtook his. Hadrian beat a hasty retreat to his manor, and in his wake Tortoise, being rather low to the ground, was trampled by the hostile townsfolk. Only toward the evening did things calm down enough for someone to investigate the dead turtle's belongings, and nothing connecting them to the Spiked was found. Turtle (Tortoise by Day) was a Village Vanilla! Night 2 has begun, and will end at 5 PM EDT on Friday the 28th. PMs are open.

The cycle has ended! No more PMs or doc discussion until the Night is posted.

Just under 90 minutes left! Also, my official vote count matches with what Shining posted (after adding his vote on Book)

*wishes original Tyrian rules had no vote minimum*

Since we are around 17 hours into the cycle, here's a vote count:

Oh yeah, if I said your action was successful, that doesn't mean it had any effect. Just that no other effects directly blocked it (so if you used Rioting/Soothing on someone that wasn't Smoked, your action would succeed regardless of whether the target took an action in the first place).

The door to Dyring’s inn slowly swung inwards, revealing an empty room, save for the slumped form of Koren in the corner. He clutched a mug of ale, half full, but it was not clear whether he was still conscious. Several figures in grey cloaks hurried inside as the mists began to pool on the floor, tendrils extending toward Koren. Two of the newcomers headed up the stairs while the others entered the kitchen. The last one paused as Koren muttered, “Shdoomed. Death and dishtruction.” The drunkard’s eyes remained closed, however, so he was ignored. Moments later, a yell sounded from up the stairs, jarring Koren to wakefullness. He blinked his eyes. He knew that voice, sounded like Dyring. Another shout came, but this one was feebler. A part of Koren recognized that something was wrong, that Dyring was hurt. Then he noticed for the first time the open door, and the creeping mist that had now reached his seat. Two enshrouded strangers rushed from the upper floor, out the door and into the night. Seconds later, several more came out the back. They spared Koren another glance, seeing that he was now clearly awake, but apparently decided that he wasn’t worth their time, and left. Koren shambled his way toward the stairs, feeling his way through the dim room, breathing in the damp, misty air. He had to check on Dyring. Nobody else in the town made good enough drink. As he began to ascend the stairs, he failed to notice a growing orange glow coming from the back room. Koren found the door to Dyring’s room forced, and inside, the innkeeper’s body lay in a puddle of blood. He tried to shake the vision from his eye, willing his friend to not be dead, but the harsh reality remained, slowly sinking into Koren’s head. When Koren realized, really understood, that Dyring was gone, something snapped. His sobs mixed with a cackle, and he began screaming at the emptiness of the night. “The Deepness will come again! The Koloss will smash our gates, and Tyrian Falls will be buried in ash!" Koren continued his rant, ignorant of the flames that were building, licking at the walls of the inn. “The Lord Ruler is powerless against this destruction! He cannot prevail in the face of the oncoming ruin!” His last cry of “DOOM!” turned into a brief cry of pain as the floor under Koren collapsed, tumbling him into the inferno. In the morning, all that was left of Dying's Inn, it's owner, and single guest, was a smoldering wreckage and a single blackened wall, upon which a message had been left: Kasimir (Koren) has been killed! He was a Village Smoker! Dyring was also killed, but y'all don't care about him. Day 2 has begun, and will end at 5PM EDT on Thursday the 27th.

The Night has ended! Cease your PMing (and any theoretical Spiked doc chatting) until the new day has gone up.

Here’s an official GM reminder that you have just over 2 hours to submit actions!

Derrick always felt strange hunting for Spiked. He of all people knew that spikes couldn’t be all that bad. They’d kept him alive for a while. Or… alive was maybe the wrong word. Sapient. That’s the one that was used. Regardless, people with spikes in them couldn’t be all that bad. Sure, they had a habit of going on rampages and trying to kill people, and that certainly seemed to be the goal of these ones. But he wasn’t planning on that, not today. Today he was in a good mood. Regardless, people with spikes in them tended to do certain things. Talk to themselves or things people couldn’t see. Stare weirdly at people known to be Mistings, especially if they were new. And strange devotion to their missions. Most people who’d had spikes could be seen like that, if you looked in the right place. Most were good at hiding that. Unfortunately for Derrick, he wasn’t so good at hiding it. This place was too knew and too familiar all the same. So a few people noticed Derrick’s small musings. Then some guards noticed. Then many people with sharp objects noticed. Derrick didn’t care. Derrick was in a good mood. Derrick had found it. And no blow of wood or metal could take it from him now. A thorough search of Derrick's possessions demonstrated that he had no connection to the Spiked or the Koloss. As the night fell on his corpse, the mists began to gather, and everyone fled for the safety of their homes. Ashbringer was a Village Mistborn! Night 1 has begun and will end at 5PM on the 25th, so make sure to get your actions in. PMs are open! A reminder to everyone that editing new votes into posts is strictly against the rules, so Shining's change from Ash to Xino was not recorded. Upvote one of Ash's posts for his death writeup! Vote Tally: Ashbringer (4): Shining Silhouette, Cinnamon, xinoehp512, The Bookwyrm xinoehp512 (3): Matrim's Dice, Ashbringer, Conquestor The Unknown Novel (1): The Unknown Novel Matrim's Dice (1): Dannnnnnex Just a Silvereye (1): _Stick_ Player List: Quick Links:

And that's it, the Day is over! Stay tuned for the writeup, and don't PM until the Night is posted.

My current official (and hopefully correct) vote count: Also, please bold your votes, most people are doing this already and it drastically lowers the odds of me making a mistake.

It is optional and everyone should do it

Well, we never learned what started the curse, did we? Spiked win at outnumber, since the village could still win at parity under a few circumstances. The Tineye message is an action. The thing with multiple Riots is only relevant if a Rioter happens to target another Rioter. Bonus clarification: Copperclouds are on by default, but it takes an action to add/change the secondary target or to turn them off.

Yes.
