WW 18 Siege of the Dragon! (Game Thread)

[MJW (ya that one)]

Wait, it is obvious who is the double-voter. And he also is Mason? Um... that would be 3 votes bundled, I am not sure I believe that, even if Tasunke made the setup.

Azza in case someone is slow...

There are other powers tasunke could have gave to novice that would tell him that azza is a villager--that does not make novice and azza a villlage pair.

[Bigger]

you're killing me Tasunke, I need sleep

Wait, it is obvious who is the double-voter. And he also is Mason? Um... that would be 3 votes bundled, I am not sure I believe that, even if Tasunke made the setup.

well if that were the case, you'd think they could come up with a more elegant solution for saving azza than novice role revealing. Like, at least agreeing on the same target.

[Tasunke]

Thursday (continued)

John was horrified to see their glorious leader fallen before him. He was so bad at counting things, but poor Tasunketh meant well. At least they didn't have to pay that much in taxes.

Saddened, he took a stroll to the Graveyard.

SLASH!

glug, glug .... glug, glug

the grass was coated in blood as johns throat was slashed, spilling blood all over the graveyard.

[Scene1 end]


Vexas went back to the Herbalist to keep his wounds tended to. As he did so, he noticed the same yellow eyed man in the herbal shop, tending to some bite wound. "Probably a rattlesnake, terrible things I'm afraid" said the Herbalist. The yellow eyed man only grunted, wanting the bandaging and poultice applying to be over with soon.

Vexas lounged in a chair, waiting his turn. Then, he heard more cries of horror.

'ohmigosh!' 'JOHN! NOOOOO'

He rushed to the scene, and wished he hadn't.

In the courtyard was a burning body, and in front of it was a head on a pike.

A banner was displayed behind the burning body, it read

GO AWAY. THE TREASURE IS MINE

An ironically small man by the name of Bigger then arrived at the scene. "Dastardly fiends. John es mi amigo, muerto para la killerz!" Sporting a red sombrero and a silver cape, the small mexican man drew his sword and started waving it about, seriously upset.

A large, gruff man with glowing blue eyes then approached the scene. He grabbed the sword and it shattered like glass.

"Stop thisss nonesense, 'Smaller'" he smirked. He took one arm and gestured it towards the man. Soon there were ropes of ice binding him.

"Now then, what isss this about a friend? I don't think you are from around here are you?"- Said the blue eyed man

"No senor, pero tu eres un dragon si?" - said the Mexican

"No foolishhhh human. Dragonss have not gripped this town in centuriesss" said the Blue Eyed man

Bigger and Blue eyes sat arguing for hours as everyone else stared on.

Apparently Bigger was related to John, and was in visiting for the Winter Solstice. John's uncle had married a Senorita in the south of the continent, and the diminutive Bigger was the product of their union.

So, after somehow convincing Bigger that he was not a dragon, The blue eyed man revealed his name to be Novicemoseniore the Magnificent, a former travelling magician that had settled in the town 75 years ago. He also said he was near 300 years old, and had seen a dragon in one of his earlier days. He also said that he could call him Novice for short.

But after all of that, 3 more dead bodies were found throughout the city, all of them burned alive.

"We have a killer afoot!"-Novice

"Aye senor, lets find him."

So they ordered the city guard to arrest every citizen, and bring them into the town square.

Now then, we as your new leaders -

"Hey! who ordered you two to take charge?"-random citizen

"SHUT UP!" roared the blue eyed man, steam coming out of his ears.

it did, for a time, but then there was an uproar.

Eventually the town guard calmed everyone down. But then a young child said "I know, lets take a vote!"

At first everyone laughed at the idea, but after another riot where ten people died, an older man suggested the same thing and it was unanimous.

So they selected the 16 richest people to do the voting for them. They formed a council called "The Circle of Doom" because it was fitting a senate name as any for the village of Grimdark.

Novice joined the council of doom by default, while Bigger joined in because he proved that he was related to Tasunketh (John was Tasunketh's nephew by marriage), and he had enough gold to bribe the city guard.

The council sat for hours arguing whether Novice or Bigger should be their new leader. As the debates came to a close, Azza fell asleep in the corner, and as the votes were tallied his Snoring became rather distracting. So they kicked him and he walked off grumbling, saying something about "decent bed."

Then, for some reason yet determined, the Council decided that the killer MUST be in the Council of Doom, and so they should decide to kill one of their number. I suppose they figured that evil people were more likely to have money, and therefore the most evil of all the citizens (and travelers visiting) MUST be also the richest (or nearly so).

Either way, it was decided that one of them should die. So they went about it rather merrily.

At first they wanted to kill Azza, the herbalist's wife ... but then Novice blushed and shouted "NOOO I know she is innocent!"

So everyone decided not to kill her ... at least not yet.

In the end it was between a young and chipper squire named Waterbat and an elder (yet loquacious) shopkeeper named Qgqqqq. Waterbat daydreamed much throughout the day, and wanted the voting to be over with so he could go out and train to be a knight. Qgqqq meanwhile gave elaborate speeches, and got into a bit of a tussle with an angry Scottsman.

In the end, everyone talked on and on, switched sides alot, and with a whimper, it was decided that Qgqqq should die.

And it was decided that Bigger should be mayor.


So then Bigger was all like "hand me my sword" to the nearest guard. He didn't do anything.

"sigh ... hand me YOUR sword you idiot! Novice broke mine, now DO IT. IM DA MAYOR BITCHES."

So then the guard gave him his sword. He then walked over to QGQQQQQ ...

"SWOOSH"

The building was set on fire. Everyone was screaming. Qgqqq then threw a lamp of burning oil directly at Bigger, but Novice then caught it with his bare hands.

Hands that TURNED INTO WATER!!!!

Novice took the form of a giant Water Elemental, and threw water everywhere, trying as best he could to put out the fires, but he only got most of it. He couldn't prevent several innocent bystanders to catch on fire and die, quite sadly.

Qgqqq was schocked .... "WTF!! o.O"

So he ran, all the while throwing more burning oil everywhere. Novice tried to put out the fires when possible.

Meanwhile Bigger got all excited and jumped on the roof.

"Go get him! Kill him Kill him! He killed my cousin mang! He killed mah cousiiin!"

Novice accepted the order. He shot an ice-spike into Qgqqq's leg, hobbling his escape significantly. The city guard were busy putting out the fires Novice didn't manage to put out, while citizens were staring at the battle.

Qgqqqqq fell over and screamed as he tried to pull the ice-pick out. Seeing his fate sealed, he drew out a large Glass Bowl filled with swirling energies, with a magical rune engraved into the glass. He then tore off a piece of his clothing, sparked some flint, got the cloth on fire, and threw it into the Bowl.

Novice had been a magician for hundreds of years, so he knew full well what was going on. Wide eyed, he stretched his form as far as it could go. A wall of water attempted to cover the explosion, but he only got half-way there. Three buildings immediately collapsed, while half of the town was set aflame by flak from the massive magical Firesplosion.

FWOOOSHBOOOOM!!!!!!

Novice meanwhile, secured the rest of the town by taking half of the explosion in his extended water wall. It was all he could take to maintain form ... steam started coming off his watery flesh as he was starting to evaporate.

THUNK!

In the chaos, someone had expertly thrown a Dagger directly into Novice's neck. He gave out an anguished scream as he knew he was dying. Anger ... "how ... could I possibly ... die ..." KARAK-POW! FWOOOOM!

As Novice died, water shot everywhere, mostly into the sky. The resulting "rain" put out most of the fires.

Bigger ran over, tears in his eyes. "Why! Why damnit why! why did my friend have to die!! I only met him today ... now, now I am all alone ..." "Worst. Winter. Solstice. EVER."

Meanwhile Qgqqqqq's remains were worse than burnt. They were utterly destroyed. Bits of him were scattered about, the parts that hadn't disentegrated were small, darkened charcoals of flesh. Burnt into nothing more than ash.

A guard walked up to the horrid scene, and inspected the dagger that had killed novice. He took it to the blacksmith, and called the council.

The council gathered in front of the Blacksmith.

"Yes, nasty stuff that, this Obsidian Dagger was blessed with a demon. It has the power to kill magical beings. Nasty stuff, I'd be afraid of whoever could get something like that, yes sir. If I were you, I'd just call it quits while you're ahead. The council of doom is doomed. DOOMED I SAY, DOOMED."

The blacksmith then put a crossbow to his temple and pulled the trigger. Blood spattered on the wall behind him. His wife walked in from buying groceries, and seeing the scene, screamed. Bread rolls and cheese wheels fell to the floor as Martha ran to her husbands side. "Why .... why .... oh George. Why did you go without taking me with you." She then pulled a dagger from her belt and pierced her heart. Collapsing.


"Well, glad that's over! Lets go to bed. I'm sure things can't get any worse than this, right? right?"-random council member.

Everyone else was just stunned, and left silently.

[Tasunke]

QGQQQQQ THE ARSONIST WAS LYNCHED

NOVICE THE WATER ELEMENTAL WAS ASSASSINATED

[uberfish]

Yeah, so zakalwe is probably scum with Q then.

[Bigger]

YAY!!!

As long as that write-up is we must have won the game already!

[pindicator]

Tasunke, you gotta be pissed that your arsonist got lynched day 1.
The novice death is curious- day vig? Or is there a tie-in with water-elemental & arsonist?

GG to both

[Selrahc]

I'm completely lost. Do we not get role descriptions on the dead?

[Bigger]

I'm completely lost. Do we not get role descriptions on the dead?

[novice]

WOW, that writeup is really something.

Good luck, village!
