NotW XLI: Chronomancy Redux [Game Thread]

[Renata]

Every hunter requires a [color=dark red]Sturdy Cloak[/color].

 

[Renata]

Argh. Sturdy Cloak to me.

 

[landlubber]

The hunter can have the cloak, I suppose. Jarrema can have the staff. I would like the greaves, if nothing else but to see what they do.

 

[Earthling]

Wanting to see what an item does is not a good reason to get it. None of you have provided real reasons we should give them to you. The dear couple of Frozen and Jarrema might know each other aren't demons or chronomancers but they haven't even made that purposefully clear to the rest of us, and it's not necessarily a better reason they could make use of the items than what others have.

I'm very tempted to vote civplayah a bunch of items and get that worked out sooner rather than later. I'd be willing to take that small risk of anything amiss for a decent gain. Many of you might not trust that idea though, but an undoubtedly safer path is:

Cloak and greaves to HarkonnenII. Our good knight is very likely to be Innocent and can't be a demon to start. This is exactly what needs to be done for the chances he has already taken.

It might be futile to try to hear what Abaddon has been up to but it might not. I'm definitely out of other leads and waiting to see if someone has something useful to add. Though to prevent a surprise if he finally shows up and clear his name when it's too late, if that does happen I'll say I'd like to question General Olaf next for why he voted Aiolos the Circlet.

I agree. Cloak and greaves to HarkonnenII

 

[BSmith1068]

There was a long silence as they all contemplated this fact, only broken by the sudden screams of the Engineer GamezRule. The Knight, Harkonnen II, held him by the throat, and announced with conviction in his voice, "Your time has ended demon. May the Order's flames consume your corruption!" before drawing his sword. Before anyone could even move to stop him, golden energy swirled around his blade and he plunged it through his victim.

I think this part of the update needs a little more explanation (either public or private) before we start voting items to Harkonnen.

As for the items themselves, I would like the cloak to keep me warm at night. The desert gets quite chilly if you have no place to go. The Desert guide General Olaf should get the staff. He is right that it may help him in his duties. Autolycus should get the greaves, being a dwarf and all.

 

[Renata]

The Hunter bares her sharpened teeth at the Beggar.

The Knight has the honor needed to kill in daylight, before witnesses. Something sorely lacking among you "civilized" as a whole. Can you match that, Bsmith? What exactly do you expect his answer to be, besides he offended me, so I slew him?

The Spirit Mage never got an answer to her questions, either.

 

[Earthling]

Actually I realized there's another question I should ask this morning: Has anyone been throwing rocks or trying to knock people out or something like that? Come talk to me.

 

[civplayah]

I would like all items, please.

 

[GamezRule]

ghost comment: I really do wonder why you are voting my item to the one that killed me.

 

[momo1000]

Because he's probably not the Chronomancer

 

[BSmith1068]

Why do you think the chronomancers are bad momo1000? As far as I can tell it is the demons who are doing the killing:

Standing over the blessed well (said to be linked to the Soul of Erebus itself), a terrifying demon stood perched, the old Sage TheForestAuro flailing wildly within its maw. Turning suddenly towards the light, it flinched, and the old man managed to scream one last message:

"They've come for us, and they'll kill all of you to find them! You must-"

And then a sickening crunch and a spray of blood, as the old man's upper body toppled into the well, his spirit leaving his body as he hit the water.

Spoiler TheForestAuro :

TheForestAuro was a Chronomancer!

Recoiling from the light with a terrible hiss, the demon raised one hand and sand whirled around it, blasting out in every direction. In the distance, a wall of dust rose from the desert and began churning around the village, creating an enormous sand tornado, instantly cutting off any escape.

"You will all die here!" it hissed, and then vanished in a flash of light.

 

[momo1000]

woops mixed them up! sorry! english is not my strongest suit

 

[Arakhor]

Post mortem: Enjoy my cloak, you vultures, and much good may it do you all.

 

[classical_hero]

None of these items looks remotely useful for a miner so i will need some convincing about who to give it to.

 

[Optical]

Why does FoS: civplayah want all the items - that's what I'd like to know. Is it a PG? Or is he a demon?

 

[Frozen In Ice]

I don't think I trust BSmith. The Spirit mage raised a good point about him, and more recently he's trying to make the Chronomancers sound like the good guys before we even know much about them.

 

[Takhisis]

civplayah, you keep asking for all the items in every game without providing any reason for it except a Pokémon-like 'gotta have them all', and I'll keep voting you in every game until you desist.

Why do you think the chronomancers are bad momo1000? As far as I can tell it is the demons who are doing the killing:

In the last Chronomancy game they were scummos. They used their powers and control over time to shorten people's lives by making them fast forward to death. And also, in that post you quote, TFA's name is in red while townies are Green. fos:Bsmith1068.

 

[Jarrema]

Sturdy Cloak for Frozen In Ice

 

[Jarrema]

And vote for a Bsmith1068
