Alvron

The shutters swinging in the breeze were the only sign of his entry. No one had noticed him scaling the vine covered wall of the darkened manor, slithering into the hallway on the second floor. Silent as a wraith Rolav moved down the hall to the third door. Brightlord Khalder's bedroom door opened with a slight creak. He waited until he was certain no one had heard the noise before slipping in and easing the door shut behind him. Soft light glowed from the infused spheres carefully arranged next the four-poster bed, illuminating the figure sleeping. Brightlord Khalder was no older than thirty with dark hair curling around his ears. What had he done to offend the queen so gravely that she wanted him dead. He crept to the edge of the bed. It wasn't his place to question his orders. His job was to obey. With each step toward the Brightlord, he ran through the plan. His dagger slid out with barely a whisper. He took a deep shuddering breath, bracing himself for what he was about to do. Brightlord Khalder's eyes flew open just as Rolav's dagger slit his throat.

We had a spanreed but didn't use it. Watching you all lynch the other spanreed holders was vastly amusing. Jim

I was hoping that either Tion or Awes would've voted by now as then I might be able to glean some information about who they were trying to protect. But as neither one has voted and I have to head off to work soon I will stand by my past auguments and vote for Tion.

We havn't lost yet. If the Grandbow user takes out Tion then we will have a chance. With his plate cracked, Tion would die and hopefully we would get back the Shardblade, leaving them with only one kill a night again. Then all we have to do is lynch another during the day and we will be right back in this.

Welcome New Players. I feel I can speak on behalf of the regular players when I wish you all to have a great time playing and hope you will join us for many more. Rolav is signing up to play. He has a tendency to eat dried meat that he claims comes from a creature called a rabbit. He is also known for carrying a dagger with strange runes engraved on its ivory handle.

Actually if you look back through the full sign up postings and questions you would see that Claincy questioned if it had a time limit like 12 - 24 hours. Maill stated in the last post before the game started that it had to be declared with at least 24 hours left. As it was right before the game started and wasn't updated in the main post I am not surprised that many missed it which was why I didn't think that your shard challenge was done as a GB ploy. As for my second opinion I believe that I did state that if it was a GB that changed my vote to make sure you were safe then it was very poorly done given how well they have remained hidden. Now that Ace has come forward and claimed that he chose my vote simply so another could prove that they have a reverser, I feel that it was simply a coincidence and I read too much into it. I do apologize if my other post wasn't clear, but I do believe that I said that my suspicion of you had lessened.

I doubt that night could have gone much worse. The only positive I can think of is that should any spies find someone with a shardblade then we can be almost certain that they would be a GB as I don't think there would be more than one blade in the game. My vote today will again be for Tion. My reasons from the last day round haven’t changed. However a couple of new things did happen since then that should be considered. 1. Tion called a shard challenge when there wasn’t enough time in the day. This could mean that he was unaware of the rule about there needing to be at least 24 hours left, he could’ve forgotten about the rule or it was a ploy to get people to lynch Aonar while making it seem like one of the first two options. Given that Tion has played far more games than most of us here I doubt it was the first option. (For those that don’t know, Tion plays on at least one other forum which has far more complex rules than ours.) 2. My vote was switched from Tion to Aonar. This could be the GB trying to defend one of their own but I doubt it as Tion was never in much danger of being lynched and I doubt the GB would make such an obvious move given how well they have remained hidden. As such my suspicion of Tion has lessened but he is still the one I am most suspicious of being a GB. Ultimately I think Tion is either a GB playing an aggressive defence or he is being played for one of the Ten Fools. (No offence Tion, these are just my thoughts.)

To those wondering why I haven’t posted lately it is simply because I have nothing to say. My rp postings have stopped as I have gone as far as I can at moment. It was meant to be intertwined with my rp posts in Rubix’s quick fix game that was going to start on the same day. The reason I log in as often as I do but never post is because I use my phone to check the forums while I’m at work. And as anyone knows posting on your phone is a real pain to handle. Given that most of the time while working I have to wear thick gloves makes it even harder to post without taking a lot of time, time which I rarely have. As for who I suspect, as I stated during Day 2 I only had two. One being Xanas who is now dead. The other being Tion. My evidence is thin but it is all I have to go on as no one has contacted me via spanreed and therefore I have no contact outside off these posts. One: He is was the one to spring Sprenils supposed trap before Sprenil himself could therefore throwing suspicion on Tors who we now know is innocent instead of waiting and seeing who else might have taken the bait. Two: He was attacked the first night while wearing a shardplate which protected him. He then proclaimed that the attack makes him the closest to being proven innocent than anyone else. Three: He received a spanreed as well as a painknife at the end of the second day but was not attacked again despite having broken Plate and was therefore had a good chance of being killed and the ghostbloods gaining any of the items he had which would all be of use to them. So unless Jain told someone that he was using the painrial on Tion as he claims to have done there would be no reason not to attack Tion again and gain some nice loot and remove a strong player at the same time. Four: Tion claimed that anyone who claimed to be suspicious of him would be high on his list. In other games he was all for his name being thrown out as it would at least start talk among others but now it seems his name is taboo. As stated it is not very compelling but it is all I have at moment.

1300 is confirmed change over point from Radiant Squire to Surgebinder.

I have to admit I'm a little suspicious of Xanas. Why did you make Tion your heir during the day, surely you could've done it at night as everyone has up to three actions each night to use. As for Tion being the platebearer, it seems very likely that he is as no one has come forward to dispute his claim. That said it could simply be a very risky plan to make himself look like a noble while getting a shardblade at same time. It sun had reached its peak by the time Alv had left Highprince Roion's study. Pulling out some firemoss he absently rubbed it between his fingers as he strolled down the street. He wants me to work with Vamah? Is he mad? Most of the corrupt clerks we've found have been working for that eel. Reaching his rooms Alv grabbed a few items from under his bed. If I have to go work for that worm, I'm at least going to be prepared. A couple of darts and my lockpicks should be easy enough to conceal. As he left his room he felt the presence of someone watching him. Ah Jack. You'll never give up will you. Sorry it cuts off there. I'm already late for my weekend round of golf and can't do to much more.

Peter Ahlstrom has been captured by the Steel Ministry and turned from a simple mistborn into a Steel Inquisitor at 2250.

If someone dies/lynched without an heir like Tors was, will any items they have be revealed or are they kept secret? Maybe just the number of items or the class type be revealed? Draining his glass Alv listened as the messenger related the death or Tors to him. It seems that the party had gotten a little tense. Good thing I didn't go. They would love to have a reason to kill a one-eye like me. Dismissing the messenger, Alv left the seedy tavern and strolled out into the market. Most of the shopkeepers had closed up for the night but a few were still hawking their wares. Purchasing some food, he slowly made his way to Roion's warcamp. Nodding to the guards standing just outside the camp, Alv ignored to glares they gave back as he passed between them. As he reached his tenement he heard soft footfalls behind him. Spinning around he levelled his quarterstaff at the small boy that had tried to creep up behind him. "Damnation Jack, what have I told you about sneaking up on me?" Yay. Jac's back. "Sorry but I couldn't resist. Highprince Roion sent me to find you. He wants to see you first thing in the morning." "Fine, did he give you any idea why?" "Nope. He was in a meeting with Vamah for most of the day though." "Thanks you little scamp. But be careful, if anyone sees you spying on the highprince they won't hesitate to kill you." "Don't worry about me. Your the only one that's seen me so far. I still want to know how you found me that day. I could've sworn that no one could see me." Turning away Alv spoke over his shoulder. "One day I might tell you. But for now you will just have to be happy with the money I pay you. Tell Ron everything you saw, he'll have your payment as usual." Leaving Jack behind him, Alv headed into his apartment and removed his gloves, revealing the mottled colours staining his hands. I finally thought of a way to bring something from Fron into my characters. Mottled skin and lifesense.

‘Beware of Abrobadar. He still resents how you humiliated him last winter.’ The scribe spoke while they watched the spanreed. It stopped blinking moments after the last word was written. Nodding his thanks Alv dismissed the young woman. She’s clean. He thought. Only a few dozen more to check and I can be done with this task. The King has just been killed and already Highprince Roion has a plan to root out any spies in his camp. I wonder how long he has suspected that some of his clerks are working for the other highlords. Removing a pinch of firemoss from his pouch, Alv absently began rubbing it between his fingers. Wisps of smoke rising from his hand. Roion was right about one thing, being able to read womans script has made my task a lot easier than anyone will realise. Just how long has Roion been pulling my strings? Was he the one who sent the instructors to me or did he somehow find out about my unorthodox lessons? Taking the stack of papers he tucked them under his arm and made his way out the room. Once he was alone in his room he tossed the papers into the blazing hearth where they quickly burned. Rolav had better keep his end of our agreement. I need that account of Adolins duel against Tinalar.

1260 is start for Radiant Squire.

Alv. Distant cousin to Highprince Roion. Came to the warcamps on a dare from his friends. After leading a charge against the parshendi Alv received a scar along his right cheek from an arrow disfiguring his upper lip. Spends his spare time rubbing firemoss between his fingers to help deal with the pain of old wounds. Has one eye coloured pale grey while the other is deep forest green.

1220 is the hard start for Kandra.

I shall be voting for Asgren this round. He just shot to the top of my list. Asgren did indeed contact me as he claimed BUT it was not at the time stated. He sent the pm 5 hours BEFORE the end of day 2!! And not at the start of day 2. Therefore he had plenty of time to vote before the end of day and did not in fact log in late. I don't know if Asgren is indeed in contact with the priest but everything else he has stated so far has been false. He also only started offering up ideas after he was called out. His whole post sounds fishy to me @Kai It is true that not all the list makers were evil, but given the pattern I had to voice my thoughts. Still waiting for Adolin to post by the way. Got anything to say? Edit: Asgren also stated in the pm to me that Joe was the only one he was in contact with before he got voted out, but now he claims to be talking to the priest.

I'm curious as to why Adolin didn't vote. My current suspects are Nepene, Kai and Asgren. I am fairly certain that at least one of these is a cultist. I haven't decided which I shall vote for as I am hoping to hear some counter arguments to help narrow down the list Nepene, your vote of Faidh is suspicious. Our names are easy to find at the start of this thread so voting simply because you can't remember anyone elses name strikes me as false. My suspicion of Kai hasn't changed from the last round. Asgren, twice now you have failed to vote. You stated that you logged in too late to vote for last time, but what about the first round. Why didn't you vote then? And you post at the start of each round but then disappear back into the shadows without contributing anything to the conversations. Ratel was tired. He had stayed up most of the night holding a pickaxe and waiting for the cultist to come for him. He was sure he had only dozed off briefly, but it must've been longer than he thought for when dawn broke another body was found and he had heard nothing. Carrying Gamene's body down to the basement sapped his remaining strength. After making his way into the main room he collapsed into one of the chairs near the hearth. Sighing with relief he pulled out one of his flasks and drained the entire contents. Watching as Faidh was pushed out the door Ratel felt guilty at seeing someone being sent to their inevitable death in the snow and ice. I did that. I started the call for his death. I can only pray to the Dor that we are doing the right thing. Taking some dried meat from within his jacket Ratel began to chew on it while staring into the flames. Caan, stop stealing my dried rabbit meat. I need that for when I make a break for it. Don't bother denying it either. Warkel saw you.

Ratel went back to bed after seeing Mai's body carefully placed in the lodges basement next to the freeholders corpse. With the ground frozen solid a descent burial was impossible. The cold will keep the bodies from decomposing too much until the ground softens enough or a patrol arrives. These cultists are too cowardly to attack during the day, so I will sleep while I can and have a pickaxe ready for their skulls if they come for me tonight. My characters seem to be getting more paranoid the more games I play. I was going to vote for Kai as so far in games one, two and three, those that used lists and/or statistics have been evil. I know, its a pretty weak argument but I really had nothing else to go on. Now however my vote will be for Faidh as I feel that he is trying to manipulate everyone somehow and with how easily he did that to me in game two and has everyone playing follow the leader in game four, I'm convinced that Faidh is playing me somehow. My vote wont be sent in until later so it might change but I shall post if it does. @Tempus. Are votes set in stone once they are sent in or can we change them later in the day? As for why I voted Nepene, I simply rolled dice. I had nothing to go on so I let Lady Luck do the choosing for me. I see no point in having people reveal their roles as everyone will simply say they are Civilians. The cultists aren't going to admit who they are and the priest won't as it will make them a target. As for Joe, we don't know that he isn't a cultist as his role wasn't revealed to us. The odds of him being evil for a third time in a row is unlikely but not impossible.

There is nothing in the rules that say so but probably safer if we do. Would be hilarious if they end up sacrificing one of their own.

Sitting in a large comfortable chair by the roaring fire, Ratel munched on a strip of dried rabbit meat. He had no desire to join those staring at the body hanging in the stable. After all once you've seen one person ritualistically killed you've seen them all, and he had no intension of reliving that part of his life. I went into the wilderness to get away from those maniacs. he thought. Last time I tangled with those cultists it cost me the sight in my left eye. Removing a flask from his jacket, Ratel took a deep swig before replacing it and pulling another strip of meat. If I just keep my head down, I should be able to survive long enough to slip away once the snow melts enough. I like the idea of casting votes in secret as it really ups the tension. Not knowing who's going to be lynched until its done is a nice twist.

I'll join up. Ratel (Ra-tel) is an old gold miner / prospector waiting out the winter in the trading outpost.

Using spoilers to reduce size of post. Nepenes Quote Response I also had a few hidden roles that would be revealed during the game itself when one was either killed or seeked, but have decided to remove that mechanic as it will most likely just really irritate people. Hidden Roles: As for the civilian win condition. There is two. Major Win: Keep the Recokner alive long enough for them to kill all the epics thus freeing Newcago from the rule of Tyrants. Minor Win: Survive until one group of epics has removed all opposition to their power. No group can win while the Serial Killer is still alive. Most of the roles would be in one game but probably not all. I listed all I had come up with in order to get some feedback. So far the ideas have been good. Keep em coming

At the moment there is no anti-lynching roles. Even the Accelerated Healer can be killed by a simple lynching, you just need to swing the axe a few more times. That might change though as I'm thinking of giving the Rich civilian a one off ability where they can nominate (bribe) a 'fall guy' who is lynched instead of them. (All votes you receive are transferred to your chosen target.) It would however easily reveal who the Rich civilian is so it seems balanced on paper but not 100% sure. As for the Reflexes epic, it seemed too strong to me as well but I couldn't think of a way to tone it down while still keeping with the theme of the book. What if it was a diminishing ability. 90% chance to survive first attack in a cycle and after that it drops to 75%-50%-25% for each attack after, but resets to 90% at start of next day cycle?

In Way of Kings. About halfway through Sigzil is talking about the kingdom Babatharnam where the King is called Most Ancient as he is the eldest.
