Mini-NotW IV: I'm on a Boat (GAME THREAD)

[Arakhor]

(There was a tie for both. Who decides who wins a tie, other than Forest of course, and how is that decision made?)

 

[Nictel]

OOC: There were probably either secret votes or people have votes that count as more than 1.)

 

[TheForestAuro]

(OOC: There are ways to resolve ties that are not completely arbitrary. I had two built-in tiebreakers as well as there is the possibility of hidden votes and/or augmented votes. Discussion on this should end here.)

MORNING THREE​

Nearly everyone jolted awake early in the morning, with the sun just barely still over the horizon. Screams echoed throughout the boat, high pitched and shrill, broken up by sobs. Gathering their clothes and lights, the denizens of the boat streamed out onto the boat to find the Wench and the Bodyguard on deck.

Obviously the source of the screaming, the Wench clutched her ankle with sobbing eyes, in a great deal of pain. When questioned, the Bodyguard informed everyone that he had personally watched the Wench trip over a loose cannonball and sprain her ankle, but even as he spoke it became clear the true reason of the Wench's screaming.

On the main deck, the Artisan, Icekommander lay bloodied and broken. He had clearly been stabbed several times in addition to having pieces of his flesh seemingly ripped out, human teeth marks showing. A quick once over and it was clear that the Artisan had been dead for hours.

Spoiler :

The Artisan was Innocent!

Meanwhile, a disgruntled looking Royal Guard emerged from his cabin sporting yet another wound, a heavy bruise across his face that had begun to turn purple. The diplomat appeared shaken as day broke on the Sea Beacon, and the safety of the light seemed bleak and hollow.

A search of the Crewman's quarters had revealed that he hadn't owned anything of value, but it was revealed that the Artisan had been hiding one of the Oars to the Rowboat. It would be voted on later.

Another subject of contention was what to do with the body. It was also decided that this would be left up to the popular vote.

Day broke, and the Sea Beacon carried on.

It is now Morning Three
Those of you with morning actions, send them to me!
Votes for the Oars will be in Dark Red
Votes for what to do with the body will be in Dim Gray
Night falls in 23 hours!​

The oar should quite clearly go to one of the strong men among us which I am sad to say, is not me. I believe the Royal Guard has proved his strength and valor, not once, but twice.

As for the body.....um keep it just in case? We can always toss it off later if it gets to smelly

 

[Seon]

I believe that the Bodyguard should have the oars. He too have proved himself to be ready for combat, and he had served me for equally very long time. And the Royal guard is I believe injured, and I don't think he has healed enough yet.

 

[Icekommander]

Ghost comment: God's dang it. Even worse the answer for me is now crystal clear... Stupid luck.

 

[Seon]

OOC: Human teeth marks? Oh boy.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

The First Mate Captain sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Bodyguard, Wench, explain yourselves. Royal Guard, you too. We should throw the corpse overboard, give him a proper Lanun funeral. No need to keep any corpses on board this ship."

 

[Methos]

It would appear that the merchant isn't performing his duties as he should, so I suggest we give the body to the merchants wife. Maybe she can use it to relieve some of her frustration.

 

[Seon]

OOC: Hey, that's not nice

 

[Tasslehoff]

The cook shudders at the grisly sight

"Uggh... indeed, let's give the body a burial at sea."

 

[PaulusIII]

"Just throw the body overboard. No need to keep it on the boat, let's at least give him a proper funeral at sea."

 

[CCRunner]

To those who wish to be rid of the body-- If it were not important somehow, would be be voting on it now? Even if we don't understand how, surely it must have some use?

 

[Kulko]

I agree on that one. Is there anybody who has an idea what it might do?

 

[Seon]

I wonder... Perhaps the enemy likes to feed upon our flesh? So perhaps we can use it as a bait?

 

[BananaLee]

OOC: I don't even know what I was doing out at night with the Wench, considering I don't even remember having any contact whatsoever. Auro, you'll get a PM soon.

 

[Nictel]

"You can clearly see the landlubbers from the real seamen around here. We throw the body overboard it will rot and people will get sick. If you all want to die of an infectious disease fine. But do it once we reach shore. Also I will take the oars. Since I'm the only one who finds the bodyguards wounds suspicious. Can he at least tell us that he didn't get these new wounds when he killed the artisan?"

 

[Seon]

OOC:uhh... the bodyguard is not wounded. The ROYAL guard is, however. I think he was attacked again by something.

 

[Nictel]

(That's CCRunners fault calling him a royal body guard! )

So yeah the wounded Royal Guard.
