Update 3
The sun leapt above its mountainous blanket, shooting rays down onto the unwitting populace. Little did they know that he was slowly baking them to death with devious UV rays that would give them a higher probability of catching skin cancer. A solar flare punctuated what could have been laughter.
The sheeple in Traum woke up unaware of this dastardly plot quite literally surrounding them and tromped out to the palace courtyard, deftly and respectfully hopping over the "Restricted Area Only" rope (next to the "Restricted Area Only" sign) that slung around the palace entrance, just as they always had. The King believed in an open court policy, but he also had believed in appearances. Presumably now he was with the gods educating them about proper decorum.
Curiously late, though, was the Duke, choxorn. Usually he had been one of the first ones up and about the court, scurrying to and fro like somebody who was just pretending to get official business done by looking busy, achieving that effect by pacing rapidly like somebody actually trying to get business done. His brilliant mind routinely handled such layers of deception and intrigue with ease, explaining why he was one of the few members of the nobility around.
Deciding to assume that he had been killed rather than decided to sleep in, the mob oozed its way across to his dukedom, which was his house. The door, having been left ajar, invited the snoopers inside with its enticing promise of invasion of privacy, and the crowd complied. Some quickly wished they hadn't though, because
choxorn's mangled body was slumped in his study. It looked like his head had been beaten in by his official Trophy of Dukeness.
Among his possessions, one of the most interesting was an
ornamental sword. The town decided to vote on who would receive this item, as well as who would next lead the town as a mayor.

Notes
-sprig, be patient!
I say 10:00 PM but I also need to write the update out, my friend. Also this gives me leeway. I like leeway.
-The inactive trio whom I pointed out the last day cycle will be subject to further humiliation possibly ending in removal from the game should they not post. Unfortunately at this time I only have one reserve though, so I highly recommend that you post.
