NOTW LI: The Trial of Lilith [Suspended]

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will go on the hunt as well

"Yes, that is an excellent idea. You strong people with weapons go get me some more food. You know what they say about rations, you eat them and you're hungry again 30 minutes later. Meanwhile, I'll sit here in my nice, strong, protective castle tower, tinkering around with my latest invention, an inflatable bag that makes a farting noise when someone sits on it. POOOOOF! Magic.

I'll also be practicing my irreverence, just in case someone needs thorough mocking.

I sure am glad we remembered to bring along a magician for this struggle. My talents are seemingly boundless. I'm like a Bard, except not musically talented, and a lot less dead so far."

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

One also has a monocle to go with one's elbow patches, don't ya know!

I will certainly be snuffling around in your poo in a couple of days time, please ensure you direct me to it - I would not want to be nosing in some other ppls crap by mistake. One suspects it will be glittery and sparkles, but I cannot take that chance.

You should be aware smoking is very dangerous for your health dear magician, it causes premature aging, leading to a grey pallor and cracks in the skin.

So we are to take you at your word, an honest thief?

"Cross my heart, and hope to be randomly executed for being a gleeful pain in the neck; hopefully by hanging, because, you know, irony.

But those tasteless rations were sure worth it. Yum. My compliments to the chef, they have a distinct flavor of..."

your poo in a couple of days time

"...With a touch less..."

glitter and sparkles

 

[Jarrema]

Maybe I am shooting mysef at the foot here, but I do not want to sell my life cheep.
Someone has marked me with a big, red letter "L" during night. I felt dark, demonic presence before it happened.

Either someone marked me as a kill for next night, or someone tries to possess (or recruit) me.

Other things:
ATPG can have the amulet

We have also to decide what to do with the bad, nasty weapon. I think Sprig can have obsidian dagger

 

[Immaculate]

I, the witchdoctor would like the dagger. For protection.

And whoever killed the savant should step up and take some credit. And provide an explanation so we can all understand the analysis involved.

 

[Darth Feather]

The Acrobat (who is still standing with one finger on the head of the person) jums of it and stops thirty centimetres above the ground seemingly levitating, then makes a salto, grabs a trapeze and slingers himself to the other side of the place

I no longer require the amulet as our wizard gave a good reason to get it. I would like him to give our provisions back though.

 

[Jarrema]

I, the witchdoctor would like the dagger. For protection.

no. just no. Witch doctor sounds evil enough, without obsidian dagger

 

[Bad Player]

"Dang, I've exhaustively proven that I am innocent, yet again. Didn't even have to ask to be murdered this time.

You're welcome. I know it's hard to read me, but sometimes the book contains pictures and diagrams."

Let's say there are 3 or 4 savant scum team members and only one is killing at night - it is quite possible that you could be a savant and just sitting around in the tower while a teammate kills. I'm not saying that you are, but it is quite possible.

 

[Bad Player]

I, the witchdoctor would like the dagger. For protection.

And whoever killed the savant should step up and take some credit. And provide an explanation so we can all understand the analysis involved.

Can you give any evidence of your innocence so that we can trust you with a weapon?

 

[Bad Player]

If you need someone stealthy for the hunt, I am available today.

 

[Frozen In Ice]

I am able to go on the hunt again.

I am wary of the witch doctor Immaculate's desire for the dagger that is clearly tainted by evil. Additionally, I'm not so sure why you assume that Visorslash's killer is a good person. Turning someone into stone sounds like dark magic to me.

 

[KingMorgan]

I am not a laughing cow today, moo. The Witch Doctors motive for seeking the killer of the Savant Visorslash is troubling, perhaps Immaculate was a team-mate of the late demon and he requests more information to avenge his late partner.

Captain Sprig the Crusader should take the evil dagger and I The Minotaur would like the Magic Amulet, my mother-in-law had an item just like it and she trained me in the use of it, I would be happy to let the Magician inspect the item and even have it if I am unable to use it correctly.

 

[Sprig]

The Crusader inspects the body of the fallen falconer. The type of slash marks on the body could have been made by only one type of weapon.

"It seems that Caperia has had her revenge of sorts, it was her blade that cut down this Falconer and Murderer. Caperia, your death has been avenged."

"In the same breath I give my apologies to Kennigit and Edse. It is hard when it has been in your power to save someone but for all intensive purposes you can't act."​

The Crusader kicked out at what now barely passes for a body.

"This thing, my information led me to believe, was a serial killer. We actually had two people in this group who were hunting him. I was working on the theory that he was independent from Lillth and her cronies but now I can't rule out the possibility that he fell easily under Lilith's influence."​

 

[Sprig]

The Crusader looked at the food pit and shook his head.

"That's 6 Rations that have been stolen and only 4 accountable so far. So to the person who took some, it would be wise to tell me. I tell you now, it is better you tell before I find out. Do not forget the nightwatchman was watching."​

The Crusader lifted his sword, and made sure the camp could see how sharp it was.

"I prefer an honest thief to a deceitful one. Also speaking of the deceitful, Verarde did not do what he was suppose to do. I want to hear some smooth talking out of you. Or you gonna be finding yourself in the tower."​

 

[spryllino]

Sprig (as our Captain) should take the dagger and KingMorgan should take the amulet - unless there turns out to be a better use for it once he has shown it to the Magician, but I trust his discretion there.

I am not convinced by askthepizzaguy's "proof" of his innocence, which seems a bit suspicious if anything. Could he summarise cogently why he is supposed to be innocent, or indeed why he carried out such an outlandish act of escape artistry at all?

Sprig, what did Verarde fail to do?

 

[Frozen In Ice]

Sprig, are you saying that all the people murdered at night has been attacked by your decision because you believe them to be enemies?

 

[Nintz]

I am capable on continuing in the hunting party should the captain desire it

Immaculate desires an instrument clearly tainted by evil? That seems more than a little fishy to me. We need someone with a clear resistance to whatever is working against us mentally and/or spiritually, and our captain the crusader Sprig is the only one I would trust this with.

Does anyone know what this amulet might do? Any ideas?

 

[Sprig]

"Dear Frozen, No, not in that way. What I mean is that Kennigit pleaded to be protected, this i failed to do and he was attacked. A bit worse than that is I had a long conversation with Visorslash in regards to Kennigit which pointed visor in Kennigit's direction in my opinion."​

 

[Nintz]

Yet you feel Visorslash was not among the followers of Lillith when this ordeal started, and instead a serial killer?

 

[Sprig]

"So I feel some responsibility for it. But then as a leader yourself, you should know what it is like to loose some of your own flock."​

 

[Sprig]

Yet you feel Visorslash was not among the followers of Lilith when this ordeal started, and instead a serial killer?

"Correct, there are two independent stories from members of this group here that spoke of hunting a Serial Killer."

"But hey I can't and will not proclaim to know everything, but the proof that he was evil is there on the ground in front of us."​
