NOTW XL: Return of the Baron (Game Thread)

[choxorn]

Alright, Southern King, final wolf, your time is up. Let's finish this.

 

[Takhisis]

Mexican standoff! Mexican standoff! Eternal draw forevarrr!

 

[choxorn]

Which will never happen, because Nictel is both unnightkillable and has enough ores to have the majority of the votes on his own with this few people remaining.

 

[Takhisis]

So then he can ensure that the votes stay like this forever!

 

[choxorn]

How? What happens if there's a tie?

Oh, and nice story earlier about needing to steal every night. I know for a fact that I've never had any items, and I doubt Southern King or robbiecon the uber-lurker-wolves had many either. So what have you been doing the past couple of nights?

 

[Nictel]

How? What happens if there's a tie?

Oh, and nice story earlier about needing to steal every night. I know for a fact that I've never had any items, and I doubt Southern King or robbiecon the uber-lurker-wolves had many either. So what have you been doing the past couple of nights?

Well last night I used the beef to make sure I wasn't slaughtered by wolves. The night before I fought off some ghost/smoke thing. So obviously Mr. choxorn you are not as innocent as you appear. Oh and really, you thought I would give you one of the pieces of ore? You should have voted the ore for yourself yesterday than you had a 50/50 chance of getting it. Well I salute you for holding off killing me for so long.

I couldn't reveal this in public as I had to know if there were in fact two wolves left. It seems there are. Now I despise this lurker tactic of theirs but it is the town's fault for letting them win this way. LYNCH THE LURKERS is the message for the next games.

My preference than is to lynch Southern King right away. However, I don't know if me fending off choxorn was luck or not. Perhaps it was pure by chance and in that case I will not risk it. I do have another piece of meat with which I can make sure I don't get attacked. So choxorn unless Southern King comes here and votes for himself your days are numbered.


P.S. The stealing bit was pure BS. I can steal but only if I know someone has the item. Which was extra funny in the case of TFA talking about his mom's trinket.

 

[Nictel]

Actually, I just realized there is a different problem: Werewolves win when their strength outnumbers that of the town. Probably they need to get rid of all the other anti-town forces as well.. So what if SK's strength is higher than mine..

Autolycus, you can't by any chance confirm that I'll win if I leave SK alive, can you?

choxorn, did you try to kill SK last night?

 

[choxorn]

I injured myself trying to kill you a couple of nights ago, and will remain injured until tomorrow. I'm no threat to you.

If both of us have an outstrength victory condition, and will win with it even if we can't kill you, then it all depends on how strong you are. If you're strong, feel free to lynch whoever you want, if not, then you may have already lost. I don't know what SK's strength is, and I'm not telling you mine.

Even if it is an outstrength, you should be lynching him. The fact that I'm injured and the fact that you have all those items probably means I won't win anyway. Besides, do you really want to lynch me and then lose to a lurker-scum?

Sure

Well I think I have a couple of +strength items and I forget my base strength so, but it ain't that low.

SK will be lynched, actually I think he might vote for the first time this game? Strangely he will vote for himself.

But yeah Southern King because if, you deserve to win way more.

 

[choxorn]

you deserve to win way more.

Thanks. You also deserve to win for being able to convince people not to lynch you for being a thief multiple times, and for being able to convince people not to lynch you for being Nictel multiple times.

 

[Nictel]

Who would have thought that we would be the only ones left in a game. Especially with one of us having the ability to kill the other..

 

[choxorn]

Well, you were never on the top of my list of "people that must die" until after you'd already gotten those items of invulnerability.

 

[Nictel]

I still don't get why SouthernKing sends in kill orders but doesn't even bother to show up to post..

 

[Autolycus]

Belated Midday​

The trapeze artist and the slave exchanged strange banter, including an accusation by the slave that the trapeze artist was a smoke creature, but as the day moved on, the trapeze artist started edging towards a position to attack the shepherd. The shepherd just sat in the center, playing the pan pipes and staring at a new shiny ore piece.

Accusation tally
Southern King:2 Choxorn, SOUTHERN KING
Choxorn: 1 Nictel (Didn't retract accusation)

Day ends in 12 hours​

Just a note that I will be out until late tonight, so the write-up will be late, and I am giving the full time, just in case people shift.

 

[Nictel]

DETAILS! choxorn Southern King

 

[choxorn]

This has been a very long 12 hours.

 

[Autolycus]

Yeah, sorry about that. The day has ended and the game is over. I'll get the write-up up tonight, I promise.

 

[Autolycus]

Final Evening​

As the sun began to set, Nictel took a deep breath. The time to act had come. Exhaling, he flung his knife at Southern King. It hit Southern King in the left shoulder. Southern King let out a cry and stared winding up his sling. Nictel grabbed his trident and charged at Southern King. He stabbed Southern King in the stomach and bore him back against the fountain. Southern King fell as Nictel pulled out his trident. Nictel brought the trident back down again and again as Southern King tried to shield himself with his hands. "Why aren't you turning into a wolf?" cried Nictel as he stabbed the corpse of the shepherd. The sheep dogs barked in the paddock, hungry, since they hadn't eaten since the beef of the previous night. Nictel collapsed in defeat, and slowly, almost tenderly, the smoke came around the slave's face and cut off his air supply.

Spoiler :

Nictel and Southern King were both Town!!!

The smoke reformed into choxorn and he smiled. He was through here and would soon travel on, telling a story of wolves and angels destroying River City. The deception would be too easy, and soon his brethren too would stalk this earth, leading humanity into its own destruction for the greater glory of Esus.

Cultist/ Demon Victory!!!​

Role PMs will be posted later tonight or tomorrow.


Cultist QT: Trouble
Werewolf QT: Werewolves of River City

Acrobat Classical_hero

Spoiler :

Player: Classical_hero
Role: Acrobat
Faction: Circus
Strength: 2
Ability: Acrobatics: You will survive one night attack by any given killer. This is a passive ability.
Item: None
P.O: Be attacked by every Scum Team
You've been an acrobat with the circus for a long time now, and it's begun to get more than a little boring. The stakes just aren't very high. Sure, you'd like to root out the trouble, but wouldn't it be exciting to use your skills when death is on the line?

Animal Feeder Takhisis

Spoiler :

Player: Takhisis
Role: Animal Feeder
Faction: Circus
Strength: 1
Ability: Animal Experience: Each night, you can nose around where someone has set up shop, so to speak, and determine how much time they spend with animals
Item: Meat (2 pieces) Can be used instead of your ability to prevent attacks by wolves.
P.O: Less than 3 other Circus folks survive
You tend the animals for this circus, like your father did before you, and his father before him, on back into the Age of Ice. Well, you're sick and tired of it! You want to do something else. But the only way you can honorably leave is if the circus disbands, which will only happen if there are too few members remaining.

Bearded Lady landlubber

Spoiler :

Player: landlubber
Role: Bearded Lady
Faction: Werewolf
Strength: 5
Ability: None
Item: None
P.O: Solo Kill at least 3 people with at least 3 strength each.
Team Ability: Wolf Pack. Each night, each one of you can attempt to kill someone with a strength based kill.
If multiple of you attack the same person, your strengths are summed.

You long ago grew tired of people making fun of you, just because you're a little hairy. Sure it paid the bills, but you didn't like it. Then you met the baron. He offered to help you take a little revenge, since it suited his needs as well. He's left, but he's left two little friends for you, here in town. A little hairy, eh? You'll show them!!

P.O: Kill a Wolf once you become a Demon
Team Ability: Ritual Sacrifice Each night, exactly two of you can together kill someone for your evil cultic rituals.
Transformation Requisite:10 Non-cultist Related Deaths
Many have heard of the Tears of a Clown, but how many of heard of the rage of a clown? Well, you're mad as , and you're not going to take it anymore. The tempers and passion in this town will fuel you, until finally, you will become a Rage Demon and be set loose upon the world! Righteous Anger's no good for that, and the Sacrifices your brethren require are too ornate. But these wolves? Their hunger will play right into your hands ...



QT:Trouble!

He would have become strength 5 with a strength kill, had he made demon. The early death of landlubber and wolf inactivity made that unlikely.

Contortionist Camikaze

Spoiler :

QUOTE=Autolycus]Player: Camikaze
Role: Contortionist
Faction: Circus
Strength: 2
Ability: Contortion: You are immune to role blocks, and will know if anyone targets you for actions.

That nastie! You trusted the new tamer, and he goes and kills all the lions, and the ringmaster. Well, you'll show him. You'll lead the mobs that will tear his little "whelps" to shreds.[/QUOTE]

Fortune Teller Seon

Spoiler :

Player: Seon
Role: Fortune Teller

Ability: Prediction Each night, you can pick another person and choose between naming two actions or naming inactivity. If they can perform one of the named things the following night, they will. If they cannot, you will lose this ability
Item: None
P.O:Lose your ability

You've never been quite sure if you see the future or if you make it, but since you were young, you've been cursed with this talent. It's hard to imagine a worse feature for a circus fortune teller. You'd give anything, just to be free of it.

Juggler bananaLee

Spoiler :

Player: Banana Lee
Role: Juggler
Faction: Circus
Strength: 3
Ability: Distraction Each day, you can juggle for someone and while they're watching you, you can see what they have lying around (Item Scan) This is a DAY ABILITY

Strength: 1
Ability: Beguile: Each night, you can deflect all actions a person takes onto you.
Item: Boa
P.O:Either both or neither of the Juggler (BL) and the
unicyclist (MythMonster2) survive

You've made a career out of being pretty and keeping everyone focused on you. Well, now that's not looking quite as useful, with people dying left and right. As for your suitors, you enjoy seeing them compete, but you don't really love either of them. One of them coming through this alive and not the other would be the worst of all possible results.

Magician Renata

Spoiler :

Player: Renata
Role: Magician
Faction: Circus
Strength: 2
Ability: Sensitivity Each night, you can go to where someone is staying. You're sure you'll feel if they have any magical power
Item: None
P.O: Get real magical power for yourself

You're fundamentally a mere prestidigitator, with just enough magical power to know it when you feel it. You've traveled the world with this circus, and seen many great feats of magic but so far no one has had both the power and the inclination to teach you. Agony! Perhaps this will be your lucky town ...

Mermaid Earthling

Spoiler :

Player: Earthling
Role: Mermaid
Faction: Circus
Strength: 2
Ability: Mason The other Aifon (Methos) may be a cad, but he's no killer.
Item: None
P.O: Merman (Methos) dies

Ok, so technically you're an Aifo,n not a mermaid. Whatever. What does it take to get a guy to stop following you? You told him you wouldn't sleep with him if you two were the last two Aifons in the world, you ran off and joined the circus, what more can a girl do? Granted, you two are now the last two Aifons in the world, but you're sticking to your guns. Shouldn't that persuade him that your serious. Maybe the wolves will get him.

Merman Methos

Spoiler :

Player: Methos
Role: Merman
Faction: Circus
Strength: 2 (3)
Ability: Mason There's no way your honey-lumpkins is a killer
Item: Trident +1 Strength

Please, that's Aifon, not merman. Whatever. Someday your love will love you too. You're sure of it!! Sure, she said she wouldn't sleep with you if you two were the last two Aifons in the world, but now you are. She can't have been serious, right? She'll come to her senses. After all, you've proved your devotion by joining this humiliating Circus with her. All that's left is to save her life.

Strong Man the Bake

Spoiler :

Player: The Bake
Role: Strong Man
Faction: Circus
Strength: 1
Ability: Measure of a Man. Each night, you can choose someone and accurately estimate their strength.
Item: None
P.O: Have effective strength 3 or greater at the end.

You're not actually strong, but you've mastered the art of seeming so, and of seeming weak, though that was easier for you. Perhaps that will prove an advantage, when all around seek to dissemble. Although it would be nice to be a little bit stronger ...

Tight-Rope Walker Red_Spy

Spoiler :

Player: red_spy
Role: Tight-rope Walker
Faction: Circus
Strength: 3
Ability: Binding (Role-block) or Trip-wire (Any who target you get injured) Choose one each night.
Item: Rope required for abilities
P.O: Trip Someone Up

You know your way around a rope, five ways to Saturday. And now it seems that your trusty rope is all you have to rely on. If this Circus is to survive, decisive action will be necessary. But first, nothing like a little trip-wire for self-protection!

Trapeze Artist Choxorn

Spoiler :

Player: choxorn
Role: Trapeze Artist

Team Ability: Ritual Sacrifice Each night, exactly two of you can together kill someone for your evil cultic rituals.
Transformation Requisite: 4 Ritual Sacrifice dedicated to Esus.
In your travels with the circus, you encountered a mysterious figure. On the trapeze with you. You'd never seen them before, and you never saw them again. Since then, you have been a devotee of Esus, the Dark Lady of Deception. With the help of your colleagues, servants of blunter gods, you seek to attain demonhood and shatter the Compact once and for all!

You love the Magician's Assistant, and despite the favors she's shown the Juggler, you're sure that in the end you'll win her heart, especially if your rival is eliminated. He's crossed you for women before, so even if she dies, you'd like to make sure he never crosses you again.

Transformation Requisite:4 Ritual Sacrifices dedicated to Cernunnos
You once were an Acolyte devoted to all the Good and Neutral Gods, but especially Cernunnos, the lord of Nature. However, Agares has worked on him, and Cernunnos' inferiority complex as a former archangel has flared up. Now, Cernunnos nears the tipping point, over which you have fallen. Your sacrifices will drag Cernunnos until hell and endow you with new power. But for the Prince of Hope and Despair, Agares, to achieve full victory, only you, his devoted servant, can be left standing at the end.


QT:Trouble!

He would have gained a one-time resurrection ability, had he made demon.

Transformation Requisite: Successful Prediction

You are an educator, specifically, a history teacher. Or you were. Then you realized the full power that Mammon, the Angel of Foresight, now Greed, must wield. Who needs the past when you can have the future? All you have to do is prove your worth.

QT:Trouble!

Gained an ability scan, Strength Kills, and Strength 3 upon Demonification.

Ice: Reduces their strength by 1 for 3 days
Pestilence: Deprives them of their vote for 2 days
Item: None
P.O: Use 2 of your spells on enemies of the Town

You've led a simple life here, casting small spells to make the lives of the folks around here easier. But now troubles like you heard your teacher speak of when he was in his cups have come to this town. Time to dust off the old spell books and once more use the spells of war. Be warned, the effects listed above are only approximate, and may have more or less effect, depending on the frailty of the individual.

Banana Plantation Owner Aiolos

Player: Atolos
Role: Banana Plantation Owner
Faction: Town
Strength: 2
Ability: Still Waters: Each night, you can investigate someone to try to determine if they're guilty.
Item: None
P.O: Slave ( Nictel) survives

You used to be an MP in the army, but you retired to your Banana Plantation with your Slave long ago, who you arrested for looting. It seems your investigatory skills may be necessary once more. Your slave may not be a close friend, but he's the only person around who went through the war with you, and that has forged a bond. You'd rather he survive. Besides, if he died, who'd work the Plantation?

Anyone who ever injured or killed someone read as Guilty

Blacksmith Atpg

Spoiler :

Player: Atpg
Role: Blacksmith
Faction: Town
Strength: 4
Ability: Forging: With requisite material in one night you can make a weapon that gives + 2 strength and vig capability
Item: None
P.O: Forge a weapon

You're the town blacksmith, a well-respected individual. You've forged the horseshoes and the plowshares for this town, and now it seems you must forge the swords. One problem. You're out of metal.

Item: None
P.O: 3 living people's P.O.'s accomplished

You're really a nice person, despite the way it may seem. You've heard the problems of this town's people for years, their hopes and their dreams, mostly for change. Well, this is certainly a time of change. Maybe those dreams can finally be realized.

Matchmaker rhawn

Spoiler :

Player: rhawn
Role: Matchmaker
Faction: Werewolf
Strength: 3
Ability: Matchmaker Over the course of 2 nights, you can make any 2 people into lovers, so that if one dies, the other dies as well.
Item: None
P.O: Make then lynch 2 lover sets. One person can be a member of multiple lover sets
Team Ability: Wolf Pack. Each night, each one of you can attempt to kill someone with a strength based kill.
If multiple of you attack the same person, your strengths are summed.

You once believed in true love, at least to a point, but years of seeing the matches you created fall apart has left you deeply cynical and somewhat sadistic. Your ability to forge, in every sense, a bond of lust that they believe to be true love between two people remains intact, and nothing warms your old, cold, and now wolfishly hungry heart like watching one lover kill himself because his love was slain by the mob.


QT:Werewolves of River City

Faction: Town
Strength: 2

P.O: Own at least 2 pieces of Ore at the end of the game.

You mine everything. Gold, Iron, Copper. You name, it you've mined it. It's all good. You have a collection, but it seems you may need to spend it to get the job done. You'd at least like to still have a few souvenirs. You're getting towards retirement.

I was expecting these to enter circulation much sooner than they did. If I had it to do over, I probably wouldn't let them cause self-accusations.

Orphan TFA

Spoiler :

Player: TFA
Role: Orphan
Faction: Town
Strength: 1
Ability: Adorable: The lynch total on you is effectively one less and your vote counts double
Item: Family Heirlooms (2) Auto-break to save you from night-kills
P.O:At end of game, either >3 Circus alive and <4 town alive, or 5 + town alive and4 > circus alive>0

You've always wanted to join the circus, but your parents wouldn't let you, and now the town that looks after you in their stead won't either. And now the Circus is here. If enough of the town dies, you can slip away. If the circus gets decimated, maybe some of them will stick around and teach you their trade, so you can be ready when you're finally grown up and can do what you want. It's a win-win situation!!

Seamstress General Olaf

Spoiler :

Player: General Olaf
Role: Seamstress
Faction: Town
Strength: 2
Ability: Protective Clothing. 4 Nights work creates a +2 strength item.
Item: Sewing Needles Required for Ability
P.O: Someone with one of your pieces of clothing wins a strength contest

You've made clothes for the people in this town for years. Winter is coming, in more ways than one, and they need nice, warm, strong clothing to keep them safe from the cold and the howling wolves. You'll see what you can do.

Shepherd Southern King

Spoiler :

Player: SouthernKing
Role: Shepherd
Faction: Town
Strength: 3
Ability: Protect Lost Sheep. You can set up outside of someone's home with your shepherd's crook and protect them.
Item: None
P.O: Protect someone from assault

There's only one thing worse than wolves, and that's Werewolves. Well, a good hard smack with the shepherd's crook will drive off both, at least until more permanent fixes can be found.

Slave Nictel

Spoiler :

Player: Nictel
Role: Slave
Faction: Town
Strength: 3
Ability: Loot Each night, you can try to steal something from someone. You have to name the item however, although a rough description is sufficient.
Item: Loincloth All other items you have cannot be seen.
P.O: Banana Plantation Owner Dead

You were caught looting many years ago by that bloody MP. He enslaved you and put you to work on his cursed Banana Plantation. He thinks the shared experiences have changed your ways and brought the two of you together, but he's wrong. This turmoil will hopefully eliminate him so you can regain your freedom.

Urchin civplayah

Spoiler :

Player: civplayah

Balance: Your vote doesn't count.

Item: None
P.O: Never have your vote sitting on a wolf at the end of the day.
V.C.: All cultists dead before you die. If you win, you leave and play continues.

You are actually the Angel of Dagda, sent to counter the actions of the cultists who are trying to become demons and shatter the Compact. Regrettably, you'll only be able to sense them when they succeed in becoming demons, and by then it may be too late. While you sympathize with those suffering from werewolves, they're solely a human problem, so you must try to avoid even giving the appearance of aiding the humans against them to your boss.

Spoiler :

Player: Skooma Addict
Role: Wheat Farmer
Faction: Town
Strength: 1
Ability: Bulk up. 4 times, you can feed someone (including yourself), buffing there strength by one permanently. Any individual can only benefit from this once.
Item: None
P.O:Town outnumbers Circus

You like your town, with its old-fashioned ways. You'll be glad when the Circus moves on, or dissolves. But you don't want them corrupting the youth. As long as there's more of you than them, that won't happen. Good, clean, healthy conservative living. that's where it's at.
