NoTW XIX: The Song of the Nightingale - Game Thread

OOC:

Thank you for your aid. Now if someone can get me a board to lean on, I'll be much better.

"It's just a flesh wound!" /Monty Python
 
IC: Don't worry Mythmonster, it's only a flesh wound, as a whole I am just fine. Just watch yourself. We don't know if anyone else is on the island. I hope not.
 
Midday 5

Although the events of the past day had traumatized the Nightingalers, by midday they had somewhat recovered. Thanks to quick intervention by Izipo and Renata, Methos and Stuck in Pi were saved, although somewhat scarred.

With this revival from the doom and gloom attitude, several survivors began raising concerns about the possible presence of "others" on the island. On that note, a short hike was arranged with representatives of all the remaining families taking a trip to scout the small island. After a full morning of searching, the following conclusion was reached:

Spoiler :

Pinman is not basing everything on Lost even though it is one of his favorite shows. No there are no other people on the island.


Activity seemed certain to pick up throughout the afternoon, as without an item vote, only accusations occupied everybody's attentions. Nothing could distract them- except perhaps the ever present song of the Nightingale.

Rheinmetall has been drying his clothes on the beach and listened the discussion. He seems to be preoccupied by something, but nobody seems to notice.

"It seems Niklas is either everything the others say he is. Or nothing they say he is. Be it evil or good, these people see Niklas as a threat to their lives. After some consideration I have decided that these other people are good and Niklas is the one that is evil."
 
OOC:

How many people use IM to communicate with each other about NOTW? I do, and I know a few others do. It really does add to the fun, making it much easier to talk, plot and scheme with other players, what NOTW really should be about. So I've decided it might be a good idea to keep a list of NOTW players' msn/yahoo/google addresses in the NOTW information thread, similiar to what the NESers do in the NES forum. The adresses would be coded to protect them from spam bots so d/w about that. I'm pretty sure just changing the @ to an & is enough although if someone wants to correct me on that, please do. Anyway, I really do suggest that people do this, because it adds a lot to the game, as I'm sure plenty of others will confirm. There are usually at least some people online every evening, and while PM has its uses, you really can't have a proper conversation on it. If anyone want's too have their IM added to the list please can you post it in the Info thread. Thanks.

Yesterday, he used some mysterious power to escape death.

This argument doesn't make sense. The "mysterious power" saved us all from going to the Lands of the Infernals, so if Niklas was the bad guy, why would he save us from our deaths?

bandwagoning on an innocent.

I am beginning to wonder if we our all innocents and the only evil among us is Captain Pinman. He is dead, yet not. He is AV, as we prooved earlier today, so why would he help us or want us to survive? I'm thinking that Captain Pinman set this all into motion as a game for him to enjoy. I believe our true adversary is Captain Pinman and only him.
 
Since we seem to be stuck here, and there is an item to destroy, why don't we lay out our items for everyone to see. This way we can find the orb/nightingale and destroy it easier.
 
To think that the captain was a member of the Ashen Veil, this sure does change things. First of all, there is something else I wish to settle. Someone here has seen it fit to steal my forge away, while I was sleeping last night. That is why I think LightFang is up to no good. He has already admitted to having a shady past, so I wouldn't put it past him to steal things too.
 
Hmm, rumors of a thief... Someone else had something stolen before the ship burned, if you remember. Now it appears that after stealing the first knife, the thief choose to steal the thing that produced it.

Maybe LightFang has a better explanation for this, but his association with our former captain also taints him.
 
Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to make it home in time to post again prior to the update and since I'm still uncertain how to continue, I'll give my support to Niklas.

I still wonder at the possibility that only Captain Pinman is the bad guy. If that is the case, I'm uncertain how to proceed. Under that same logic, I don't think Lightfang is either, assuming I'm correct.
 
uh-huh. so lightfang stole his own dagger, did he? this thief has stolen from me, too. if you ask me, it's a thieving little dwarf with his chubby fingers all over other people's things. yes rheinmetall, i mean you.
 
It would be a smart way of avoiding suspicion for being the thief. To say you, yourself have had something stolen, afterall, who would know?. Being the thief itself is not my argument against him however, so I won't go into detail. Just saying.

The Infernals are still coming, if you haven't noticed. This hasn't saved us one bit. Until this mysterious orb thing is destroyed, I'm afraid that they will arrive regardless.

Oh, Kol.7. My dear captain's son. I've already delineated the truth. What more do you want from me?

All your argument for me was that you wanted me to tell you the truth. That I did, in a painful speech.

And note that not once did I ever say that I had a shady past. I had a hard past living in poverty. Poverty does not equate with a lack of morals, you ivory towerists.

Look. Any suspicion that you have of me would automatically go with the captain's son. Yet you do not accuse him. If anything, the captain's son would be closer to the captain than me. We are not of blood. You know what they say: blood is thicker than water. Like father, like son, yes? But just as I don't think Pinman's evils automatically pass onto his son, I don't think his evils should automatically make me guilty by association.
 
“I don’t have a lot of time, so I will say what I have to as quickly as possible. Amongst you there resides a certain…item. I’m afraid that for reasons beyond your understanding, the Infernals are being drawn to that item even as we speak. If you want to survive, destroy it to stop them from landing on this very beach.”

The infernals are still coming. Whatever Niklas did, he did not save us from Infernal death.
 
"Bah! My only possession is my fathers gold. Greedy I might be, but not a thief. And even if I was a thief, it doesn't make me a killer. So there."
 
Niklas, I have recieved word from an anomynous source that YOU have the orb! YOU are responsible for my fathers death! And you will pay for that. Whatever powers you used to come back to life will not help you this time!
