  1. I'm thinking that since the everstorm hit Hearthstone then the parshmen Roshone had turn into voidbringers and killed Roshone, his young wife Laral and most of the town. Kaladin will arrive in town to find most of it in rubble and find his father and mother alive have left the town with their four year old daughter.
  2. The loaded dice do have uses. As you pointed out they allow one to have a better chance of costing other players their coins than just gambling alone. But more importantly, should the QM die early they give those that have them a great chance of getting coins faster than normal which means the axe is available sooner. At the moment I will be voting for Mai, based almost purely on a gut feeling. He has to be evil at some stage, right?
  3. Ratel climbed the rigging up to the crows nest. Climbing in he grabbed the strange stuffed creature and tossed it over the side and onto the deck below. Pulling out his rune engraved dagger, Ratel glared at the upstart. "There are two ways down. You can either climb or we will see if you bounce like your toy just did." Waiting until Jain had gone Ratel sheathed his dagger before pulling out the strange red glowing crystal he picked up on that rock world he had briefly visited.. Sorry Panda but the job of lookout was already taken and Ratel doesn't like company. Aonar is correct. We need to throw votes around and get some information. In the first QF game the lack of commutation really cost the civilians. The sooner everyone posts their thought the better chance we have. Edit: colors
  4. Weas has the council found anything that might lead us to a DF or better yet the Forsaken?
  5. Ratel boarded the pirate galley anchored in the harbour. Ah, the open sea. I could do with some sun after being trapped in that outpost in the mountians. After stashing his sea bag and climbing up to the crows nest, he ran a discerning eye over the rest of the crew that had arrived. I hereby claim the job of lookout. The crows nest is all mine (The Only Joe) Jeno (Mailliw73) Mai (Jasonpenguin) Jene (Wyrmhero) Wyrm (Kasimir) Kai (Jaelre) Jatae (Renegade) Riingar (a smart guy) Saor (Lightsworn Panda) Jain (Alvron) Ratel (Herowannabe) Hreo (New One) Riitiidiikiiiir (Theorymaker) Matim (Luckat) Luka (Kal Dell) Kai FangShi (AonarFaileas) Aonar Without a seeker and no PMs this will mostly be a game of chance until we get our first mutineer. Edit: Updated list
  6. Dellan. Can't really say why but something feels off about him. He also cast the tie breaking vote by flipping a coin.
  7. Do NOT send your roles to Waes!!! First he tells Sprell that having one person know who all the normal players are isn't a good idea and now hes calling for the roles to be sent to him, ignoring the very same argument that he used. Second, he states that if he was to get himself attacked in order to gain the trust of others then we don't really know him, another lie. That is exactly the type of thing Waes would try. He is very good at manipulating people. Third, even if he was clean then all our roles could easily be passed to Fain just by corrupting one person. Fourth, we still have our seeker(s) who could easily build a trusted group without the need to expose all its members.
  8. Nath, Dellan, Jim Bob and Senna are the only ones who haven't posted so far this round. Edit: Dellan has now posted.
  9. With about 6 3 hours left, here is how the votes currently stand. Bela - 4 - Dragon Fang, Joel, Jea, Kaim Lam - 2 - Ralv, Newan, Jain Jim Bob - 6 - Douza, Binnt, Grimlar, Lam, Jain, Trimat, Khamsi Jain - 7 - Leas Fei, Erik, Weas, Witless(2), Douza, Dellan Dellan - 1 - Malai My first list. Edit. Blight take you Aonar. Beating me to the list. Added votes from Erik, Malai, Weas, Kaim, Witless, Khamsi, Dellan
  10. My vote was explained in the post which I made it in. Why there was two more thrown in soon after , I can't say. Also I didn't defend Bela. I simply laid out my thoughts. Should more votes pile onto Lam without any discussion then I will most likely change mine as the last thing we want is a bandwagon starting up. As the golden voiced divinity (Meta) has pointed out in other games, 'When votes start piling on someone and no one defends them then there is a good chance that they are innocent, as the spiked will almost always try to deflect votes from one of their own.'
  11. I find it very interesting that the forsaken didn't use their kill. The first night is the best chance they would've had to take out someone and get away with it. The odds of being spied on were at their lowest so there is very little reason not to take the kill. On top of this, as far as we know Fain didn't try to convert anyone also when the odds were in his favour. I know that if I was Fain I would've tried to convert someone on the first night, as numbers will help down the line as well as the chance of getting someone into the DF camp. As such I am going to vote for Lam (Leonardus) as he didn't log on at all during the night phase and I think that either Fain or the Forsaken is currently inactive. Our ever beloved Jim Bob Dirt is the only other one that hasn't logged in lately. He was active for the first 12 hours then went dark. Yes I know that voting for an inactive as well as voting early is out of character for me and will raise my suspicion level but it needed to be said.
  12. 6 hours until sunrise folks. Make sure you've got your orders in.
  13. The village was mostly dark and few of the wooden houses showed dim lights. The house he was looking for was just off the village green, a favourable position for the former mayor. Walking noiselessly through the darkened streets, Ralv kept an eye out for any nosy dogs who might alert their owners to his presence. The tall front showed heavy oak shutters barred with iron and a stout door with an expensive lock. Working his way around the building until he found a small side window, Ralv quietly slid a thin bar between the shutters and lifted the latch. Sliding into the room, he pulled out a cylindrical tube that gave off a small amount of light. That's right. Ralv has a lightstick. Finding himself in the library, Ralv quickly ran his hand along the mantel, feeling the different items placed on top. After placing a tankard and a couple of goblets into his sack, Ralv dusted the top of the mantel to disguise what he had taken. Refastening the shutters after climbing back out took only a couple of minutes. In short time Ralv was back in his bed above the inn with none the wiser of his little excursion. The only role I can think of that would work with Waes' plan is if he were to be a Dreamwalker. If he is then it would be very easy to find out if one was corrupted as their messages would stop. Only problem with that plan is that I highly doubt that there is only one Dreamwalker. So if one message were to stop then there would be very little way of knowing which one unless they were to include some kind of message and tell others so that they can confirm. Which makes Waes a prime target for the DF, unless he is a DF Dreamwalker. Or I could be way off track again.
  14. I haven't posted as I am completely unable to come up with an opening rp. As for any suspicions I have this early. I always find it suspicious that players want to lynch on the first day but also advocate for players with killing roles not to use them on the first night. If lynching someone gives us information, then why wouldn't killing another at night not give us some more info. Also the odds of hitting an evil player at night is the same if not better than the day lynch. All in all I find that pushing for a lynch on day one is far more suspicious than not posting at all.
  15. Seeing a flutter of movement coming from the window, Rolav quickly sheathed his dagger and drew a pair of throwing knives. A man flipped into the room holding a bow with an arrow nocked and ready to fly, just as the scholar tripped and slammed the door open. Throwing his knives at the pair, Rolav mentally swore at himself for not bringing back-up. Just before the knives hit, both of the attackers crumpled to the floor, dropped by a couple of thrown rocks. And another man leaped into the room. Light above. Who else is going to show up. Grabbing the archer, the newcomer threw him out the window. Before the stranger could leave the scholar grabbed him and pinned him against the wall. A short scuffle ensued and then the scholar was lying on the ground with a strange stuffed animal next to her and the rock-thrower walking out the door. The scholar was gasping for breath when Rolav reached her. Kicking the sword away, he drew his dagger and leaned down intending to finish the scholar off once and for all. Ooo, cliffhanger. Stay tuned folks, same Sanderson game, same Sanderson forum.
  16. The guide Ratel had sent led him to a nondescript iron door in a quiet alley. Hired thugs stood watch on either side. The guide flashed a hidden sign to the guards and they opened the door. As he headed down the steps into the subterranean warren below, the reek of unwashed bodies hit him like a fist to the face. The main chamber was lit by an oil chandelier and several candles lined the walls. All laughter ceased as he passed the tables. Red rimmed eyes following as he was led to a table overlooking a pit where two men fought each other for the amusement of those watching. 'Welcome to the bowels of Kholinar.' Ratel intoned as he sipped on red wine. 'The place where anything can be found. For a price.' Don't go there. They overcharge. A few hours later and Rolav was standing in the scholars empty rooms waiting for her to return. Everything had been removed. Taken by soldiers and scribes to be studied and destroyed. A number of spanreeds had been recovered. They would be monitored to see who was in communication with the scholar. They had apparently also found some documents that revealed the scholar had already sent part of the blasphemous writing on to someone. Once they knew who, the queen would sent word to her agents in the area and have the writings destroyed and any who knew of them killed. All Rolav had to do was wait for the scholar to return and kill her.Your move Lyla
  17. It took them hours but Rolav and Ratel tracked down every informant, tipster and rumourmonger. The questions were simple. Who was the scholar? Where did she live? Who did she talk to? How well was she protected? Why was she here? And it was all for nought. Whoever the scholar was, she was very adept at remaining hidden. After Ratel had left to pursue another lead, Rolav found himself wandering down some deserted streets. I have to find her soon. Those writings cannot be allowed to leave this city. Aesudan is almost ready to burn the entire city down to stop those writings from leaving the area. If I don't find the scholar soon she might start calling for my head to roll. Letting loose a wordless howl of frustration, Rolav drew back his fist and slammed it into a wall. The stone cracked under his hand. Not a small crack, but a spiderweb that kept growing. It wasn't possible. Maybe he had hit the wall in the wrong spot and the ancient wall had simply given in. He had never heard of stone cracking that way, spreading out like a living thing. Heart racing, Rolav lowered his hand and looked at it. There wasn't a bruise or a cut. He couldn't feel any pain either. But he had hit the wall as hard as he could. He should've broken his hand at least, yet his knuckles were unharmed, only white from gripping his fingers in a tight fist The wall had splintered but was intact. It wasn't possible, was it? Rolav dropped to his knees and was violently sick. Look what you've driven me to Lyla.
  18. Ralv, a wanderer passing through town. He smokes two rivers tabac, has a scar along his jawline, both of his hands are discoloured and has a coil of wire wrapped around his upper arm that seems to have fresh blood on it. I really shouldn't have started taking bits from my old characters. They're starting to pile up. Welcome Kal Dell. Always good to see new players coming in. Don't worry about making mistakes. Having fun is the main goal of the games. Ask any questions you want. We are always happy to help out new players.
  19. After thoroughly searching the building and unable to find any documents, Rolav silently cursed himself. Sorry Nixi. Like Ace, I didn't kill you but am going to claim your death for my rp posts. Blast. I would've sworn it was her. Now I have to find that scholar all over again.
  20. Quietly moving through the building, Rolav made his way towards his target. It had taken him the rest of the day to track her down, but now that he had, he wasn't going to let the opportunity pass. Unwinding the length of wire he kept coiled around his upper arm, Rolav slowly crept up behind his target. The height and build are right. Must be the scholar. Quickly slipping the wire around her throat, Rolav quietly garrotted her. Once the body finished thrashing around he lowered it to the floor. Turning the body over and taking a look at her face Rolav then proceeded to search the room. Don't know who died yet so can't tell who it was I killed.
  21. As soon as the highstorm passed, Rolav was back in the streets heading to the green roofed house, hoping to get there before the scholar left. He reached the street just as a group of people left the building. Blending into the shadows he carefully observed the group noting with annoyance that the one he sought wasn't in sight. Storm it. She must've left just before the storm arrived. Now I've got to search this entire blasted city for one light-cursed woman. Taking care not to be seen, Rolav left the street behind to start his long search. The hunt is on.
  22. I think that when Shallan thinks Renarin is 'creepy and whiny' it would've been enough to break Feathers heart.
  23. Crouched in the shadow of a chimney, Rolav watched the building across the street. There was nothing interesting about the emerald green roofed house, other than that it was the one that the woman who broke into the Common Chambers fled to. It had taken him hours to track her to this place and hours more taking note of who arrived and who left. With the highstorm later today, I doubt they will be moving around much. A whistle could just barely be heard as another figure joined Rolav on the rooftop. A thin pale skinned man emerged from the shadows. Chewing on a strip of meat the stranger crouched down next to Rolav. ‘I have her name if you want it. Cheap too, only a single ruby mark.’ Handing over a sphere without looking up from the house, Rolav waited for the stranger to speak again. Tucking the ruby mark under his tunic, the stranger stood. ‘Her name is Liar or Lyla or perhaps Leia. The ones I spoke didn’t know much only that she fancies herself some kind of scholar.‘ Turning on his heel, the stranger started to walk away. ‘Oh, by the way, you were followed by some strange fellow carrying a nasty looking hammer. Don’t worry, I took care of him for you. He was muttering something about a chull I think.’ Just to be clear. Neither Rolav or Ratel had anything to do with your death Ace. With the kills being anonymous, I think they are fair game to be used in rp. With one final glance over his shoulder the stranger shrugged before dropping off the rooftop. Rolav waited for a while before standing up himself. Careful not to leave the chimney shadow, he stretched his sore muscles. Fool woman. Why in Damnation would you want to go and copy those writings. Aesudan declared that any who even speak of them is to be lashed and you went and made a copy. Even worse, you got caught doing it. Nothing personal Feather, but did you really think the queen would let such a brazen act pass unchallenged. With one final penetrating look at the house, Rolav left the roof and headed to a shelter to wait out the highstorm. Deal with the rioters first then the scholar. Hopefully I can find a way out of this before I have to kill to many innocents. Just to be clear: The highstorm stops all actions only while its blowing, correct? So someone who votes during the highstorm will not be counted but those that vote before or after do, yes? Or are all actions cancalled for the whole cycle?
  24. You were the only GM for me. I gathered a large group of followers ready to do your bidding, but then you went and killed me. That kinda soured our relationship. The entire time I was doing the pranks, I was afraid that you would realize that it was me and when a GB was exposed doing them, you would put it together and call me out. Loved the game Maill. Looking forward to the next one you run. Just one question. How did Wurum end up with all Awes' items? His heir was either myself or Jim Bob so his items should've disappeared on his death. Did Cara soulcast Awes' heir action on the final night? or did I miss something?
  25. Rolav strode down the stone halls of the palace. A thick sack clenched in his fist swung with each step banging against his leg. The guards didn't stop him despite the hooded cloak concealing most of his face. Even if they didn't know who he was, they all knew what he did. There were few who would dare stop him. The clasp he wore on his cloak made sure of that. As he approached the queens council chamber the guards posted on either side straightened and opened the large doors. Rolav noticed one of the guards pale as he passed. His leather boots silent on the marble floor. Seated on the throne was the Queen of Alethkar, her gaze fixated on the sack hanging from his fingers. Approaching the throne, Rolav kneeled on one knee and bowed his head. 'Rise.' Rolav kept his chin raised as he stood and lowered his hood. The queen waved her hand, rings sparkling as the caught the light streaming in through the windows. 'Is it done?' Rolav reached into the sack and tossed the severed head of Brightlord Khalder onto the marbled floor. No one spoke as the head bounced and rolled to rest against the dais, milky eyes staring lifelessly up towards the throne. 'It seems there are several groups of individuals who are willing to do anything to get me off my throne. Your next assignment is to root out their leaders and make an example of them. Show my subjects what happens when they interfere with my plans.' The queen drummed her fingers on the arm of the throne, still staring at the severed head at her feet. 'Be quick. I want order restored by months end. Your payment for Khalder is waiting for you in your chambers.' Nodding, Rolav turned to leave. 'Take that head with you. The smell is starting to turn my stomach.' Scooping up the head by its hair, Rolav shoved it back into the sack and strode quickly out of the chamber and down the halls. He had work to do. Sorry folks but Rolav doesn't talk. Your not going to get much from him I'm afraid.
