NOTW L: The Immortals [Game Thread]

NIGHT ONE

The Sun Lowered in the night sky and its last rays disappeared as it sunk behind the distant hills. Exar was sitting on his small throne listening carefully to his Governors share their thoughts on the situation at hand. Their views different but were equally with some merit. He raised up his hand to silence them and stoodup. Raising his voice loud, he spoke. “Gentelman, please be seated for dinner.” His guests have gathered back into the reception hall which was the only room large enough to accommodate them all. The servants had also brought in tables in preparation for the evening meal and there was a shuffle as the noble guests found their seats while the guardsmen and servants grumble at having to wait for their own supper. Exar took his seat at the head table. Joining him was his Governors as well as the Durnovarian Adjudicator and the Prespurian Lord.

Exar passed the Raw Mana to the Visorslash, the Prespurian Lord, and told him “Use it wisely, sometimes what is done cannot be undone.” He then passed the Law Mana to Frozen in Ice, the Durnovarian Adjudicator. “Sita used this Mana to always seek the truth. I hold no lower expectation of you.” The Adjudicator bowed in thanks. “Your wish is my command, Sire.” Exar then took a look that the Death Mana in his hands. He was not disappointed but did desire a clear champion. He glanced at the Governor of Durnovaria and thought to himself that perhaps he should have been more supportive. But had he publically declared where his support lay, the others would follow like sheep.

Exar surveyed his seated guests as the food arrived. One thing he was disappointed on was that there had been little suspicions cast. He would have liked to follow up on a few things himself if there had been anything said of merit. Then again, he was still injured and rest is what need for now. He stood once more. “Enjoy your meal, I have a feeling with night will be more than eventful.”

Dawn breaks in [timer=10/6/2013 6:00 PM +13:00; Day has finished] [/timer] at 6 Oct 2013 6:00 PM (+13:00)


Night orders to me before dawn.
 
what know you of hunting?

I'm twice the bowman that amurite wish he was and thrice the demon hunter to boot. And take four times as much the drink as that light weight adventurer babbling around

The King, Exar, the death mana. I, Kennigit, the raw mana

a governor can have the law mana, I respect that. Verarde

ninjaedit for colours

I know plenty of hunting, peasant. Or should I say, cattle?
 
*The guard grumbles in his cot that, now the shift is over, all these noblemen and yeomen would do well to keep quiet and let others sleep in peace*
 
OOC
Spoiler :
Did you know it's been so long since I played in a *real* NOTW that I forgot the roles of every player were publicly known?

LOL @ being impressed by someone knowing who I was. Good job, pizza man.
 
DAY TWO

Exar had been up most the night talk diplomacy. He was very wary by the time he closed his eyes. It felt like only a second when he was forced to open he eyes again when a loud knock on his door rung through the room. “My lord, sorry to disturb you so early. We have had some deaths, the Demon has struck again.” The servant looked horrified. Exar wasn’t sure if it was the deaths or that the servant had to deliver him the news.

The servant led Exar to the barracks and into the sleeping quarters of the Calcarian Guardsman. The room was filled with smoke and everything inside had been burnt. This included the body of the Calcarian Guardsman. The Servants spoke up once more as he passed Exar a rolled up scroll. “My lord, there is something that you need to see.” Exar unfurled the scrolled and read it quickly! “I see” he said this more to himself than anyone, “Perhaps this death is not as unfortunate as it may seem.”



Takhisis was Immolated
Spoiler Alignment :
he was a Human Usurper.



“Take me to the other body” Exar demanded. The servant led him away to where the Ljosalfar were quartered. The Ljosalfar were surrounding the body of the scout with anguish and accusations in their eyes. It did not take long for Exar to see why. It appeared shrivelled as though it was bled dry. Exar’s fury seemed to be matched by the Ljosalfar Ambassador who drew himself up and stared directly into the Kings Face. “We were promised protection. This is a diplomatic party and we will not stand by while this sort of thing happens to our people. It is clear to us that someone has broken your own laws and we expect Justice!”


classical_hero had his blood drained dry
Spoiler Alignment :
he was a Elven Innocent.




Exar collected mana orbs from both the bodies and he decided they would go up for vote like the orbs from the previous day. He gather everyone back into the reception hall and demanded that they bring those that are guilty in front of him for justice.

We strongly condemn the slaying of our kinsman and demand that the local authorities conduct a thorough investigation of this assassination. The criminals who have committed this murder must be punished, as they think it acceptable to spill innocent blood and break both local and international conventions for their own petty ends. Thankfully, past experience gives me faith in King Exar's ability to restore law and order and to punish the perpetrators of this evil deed. Long live King Exar, and long live the alliance between Ljosalfar and Calabim. Despite the efforts of usurping factions to divide us, our nations will remain united in our response to this threat.
 
The Innkeeper shakes his head remorsefully.

"This is horrible! I knew that that foul creature would strike again, but..."

The Innkeeper shudders.

"Poor soul, I certainly wouldn't want to go that way."

He eyes the mana orbs before him.

"Hmm... If I may be so bold, I think that I may have a purpose for that body mana."
 
Bah! Now we have more enemies to fight? I was already worried enough about the demon. The Human Usurper clearly wasn't on the Demon's side. He might have been on the side of whoever killed classical hero, but that was almost certainly a vampire. Perhaps the Human was working alone or had a vampire ally. Whatever the case may be, it is troubling.

Rest assured, Ambassador spaceman, that we will get to the bottom of this.

I would like to have that Earth Mana.
 
I am infuriated by the happenings of the previous night! This is an outrage! This is a society of laws! We can't have people running around willy-nilly immolating people, and draining perfectly good blood from someone's body, no doubt wasting it. That precious, precious blood belongs in a wine glass, if not freshly locked away in someone's veins.

Mmmmmmm.... just the thought of it makes my fangs glisten.

Excuse me, I just need to get myself a drink.
 
The adventurer blusters at the sight of the drained Ljosalfar scout.

BOTHERING BLOOD BLISTERS!!! WHY, THIS REMINDS ME OF AN INCIDENT I WITNESS WHEN I LAST ADVENTURED IN LJOSALFAR LANDS. A FAIRER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL LAND ONE COULD NOT HOPE TO FIND, ALTHOUGH OF COURSE, THE WINE TASTES LIKE MOULD AND MAKES MOSS GROW ON THE TONGUE!!!!!

I RECALL A SCOUT DRESSED ALL IN RED, WHO DIED A MYSTERIOUS DEATH JUST LIKE OUR COMRADE TODAY. WE SEARCHED ALL OVER FOR THE CULPRIT, AND AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION, DISCOVERED THE PERPETRATOR TO BE A REBEL SOLDIER, CLOAKED FROM HEAD TO TOE IN BLU!!! SORRY, I MEAN BLUE.

NOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF, AS THEY SAY!!!!! THAT'S WHY RUFFS ARE BACK IN FASHION OF COURSE. AND SO PERHAPS IT IS THE KASAVAN CAPTAIN PAULUSIII THAT DID THE DEED!!

I AM SURE THAT I (CATHARSIS) WOULD BE THE BEST RECIPIENT OF THE BODY MANA, AS I DEFINITELY HAVE THE HUNKIEST BODY OF ALL OF US, EXAR EXCLUDED OF COURSE!
 
What does an innkeeper need body mana for, Kill Fire?

Obviously this gigantic fellow Catharsis, if properly armed with Body Mana, will be even more gigantic. Since that seems to be his entire schtick, I say we run with it and never blink.
 
In my experience, when there is a usurpation plot, there's usually someone near the top involved. Perhaps The Black Knigh is no longer satisfied with merely being a governor. I think that Bad Player, the Adept, could probably make good use of the earth mana.

Strange that you would know that he could use this mana, since he has not asked for it, nor indicated that he could use it.
 
So, not only are we dealing with a demon powerful enough to injure Lord Exar (though I'm sure that was only due to luck), we now know we have usurper(s) within our midst, and what appears to be a vampire that never learned the concept of conservation. As Exar has demonstrated, it doesn't make much sense for a vampire to take so much blood from someone that they die, because then that person won't be able to replenish their blood.

I would also like to offer my sincerest apologies to the Ljosalfar. Rest assured that I will do everything within my power to bring this perpetrator to justice.

That is a good catch. Have you ever consider the possibility of being a trial lawyer? Anyway, that is certainly a suspicious move by Autolycus, the Sheaim Magistrate who shouldn't really know all that much about the adept.

My governor Choxorn can have the earth mana.
 
I have no use for the earth mana (as I indicated to someone privately) but I am willing to hold onto it and give it to someone we can trust when the group thinks appropriate.

The Glevum Axeman spins his head around, holding his axe up to his ear and muttering seemingly random incoherent mumbo-jumbo.

Axe don't trust you. I don't trust you. How you decide who else I trust by holding Mana? How we know you listen to group?

I want Body Mana. I look Body-ful with Body Mana. Axe approves. You should too.
 
I have awoken from my deep deep sleep. I cannot help but feel that the innkeeper dropped something in my drink when I was not looking. I ask a man what day it is, and he informs me it is Sunday. I was sure it was Tuesday when I lay down. Now that I am awake, it is time to see what it is that has happened around me.
