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

[Niklas]

Why you wanna know? Keen ta get rowing eh?

 

[BananaLee]

You're the one who said we can't use the rowboat without your help.
The onus is on you to prove that argument, dear shortie.

 

[Niklas]

Watch yer tongue, scrawny. I dunnae need ta prove a thing, I'll just watch ye gnaw those chains off with yer sharky teeth, then ye can come back ta me with yer jaws aching. Or may yer teeth get some practise at night eh?

 

[BananaLee]

The onus is still on you to prove that your help is needed, old Lofty. Perhaps YOU have a weapon that would cut through uncuttable mithril? That might cut through human flesh too?

 

[Niklas]

If me weapon'd cut through human flesh, ye'd hear it for miles n' miles.

 

[Seon]

Errrrrrrr.... What?

 

[BananaLee]

He's talking about his boom-boom stick I believe.

So you're gonna try blowing the mithril chains up with a cannon? I have a feeling the whole boat will blow up too.

 

[Kulko]

Well if nobody puts up any idea why the gods would us like to keep a body, it is definitely better buried in the sea.

As far as the oars are concerned I do agree that they should not go to the diplomats team again. Let the Bodguard have them.

 

[Nictel]

"Ya know, if you're worried someone might think of getting of the boat with the oar. Give it to me. I love this ship. I would never leave her."

 

[PaulusIII]

"The Bodyguard can have the oars."

 

[Arakhor]

"If we don't present a unified front, the diplomat and his guard will end up with everything and will get away, leaving us to be murdered in our beds!"

 

[Sepuku]

Was there even any evidence against me? As far as I know people only stated such things as Methos saying "You look suspicious" and that's more than most just saying I should die
You'll see you were only wasting your time randomly pointing the finger of death in my direction because you will only be lowering the innocent count by one but as things are, I doubt I could talk my way out this. Guess I picked the wrong ship 'eh?

 

[TheForestAuro]

Indeed you did, Sepuku. Voting is closed.

EVENING THREE​

With the boat solidified against the Secretary, she returned to her cabin as the sun set to make her final preparations for death. Penning a note as the mob came for her, she smiled courtly and allowed herself to be led to the deck of the ship, where all of its crew and passengers gathered.

"You have been condemned to death by your peers, Secretary Sepuku. May the gods have mercy on your soul," spoke the captain, who drew his cutlass. But the flash of steel wasn't his blade - without warning, the Secretary roared, a thin knife being drawn from a hidden pocket in her sleeve. Slashing once, twice, she barely missed the former First Mate who stumbled and fell against the deck, his cutlass clattering against the wood.

Turning to face the Diplomat, she pointed the blade and screamed. "You were never supposed to reach the shore! Your superiors sent you here to die and I'll be damned if I don't make sure it happens!" bursting forward with a very unladylike yell, she ducked under one set of hands and shouldered through the Helmsman in a flurry of motion.

In an instant she was beside the diplomat, blade held high. Grabbing CCRunner by his collar, she slammed him against the mast. The merchant's wife cried out in horror as blood splattered all over the deck, and buried her face into the nearest sailor's chest.

Her blade still held high, the now headless secretary fumbled and collapsed as the Royal Guard sheathed his blade, having saved the Diplomat seconds before disaster.

Spoiler :

The Secretary was an undercover assassin!

The body was collected and thrown overboard with the artisan's body. Meanwhile, the Oar was passed on to the Bodyguard, BananaLee, who took it with a sense of urgency and kept it very close to him for the rest of the evening.

Night fell on the Sea Beacon, and everyone prayed that the murders were over.

It is now NIGHT THREE
Those of you with night actions, send me them!
Day Breaks in 23 Hours!​

Arakha stops sobbing into the sailor's chest, untangles herself from his warm, manly grip and says, "It would seem that Bratmon isn't the murderer. My apologies." She then returns to her cabin with her husband for the night.

 

[Bratmon]

(OOC: It's nighttime. No talking.)

 

[Arakhor]

(I was reacting to the evening post. I wasn't expecting a response.)

 

[CCRunner]

(The point is, you should have waited until daybreak. No big deal really, just try not to do it again )
