NOTW XXIX: Hired Swords - Game Thread

[Askthepizzaguy]

TForge, we have a second accused Illian, from the same people who nailed the first one, and you'd prefer to destroy this person who is helping us defeat these infiltrators, rather than the accused infiltrator himself?

Is there a reason behind this madness, or would you care to be next?

Well actually we had 2 Illian infiltrators, and we know of one more. (autolycus)

Sprig must have known he would die last night and used his poison on Rhawn, which would explain why we had 2 deaths last night rather than 1.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

It's a good call and a good move. Our move this round seems clear; I'm just wondering what the point is behind Tforge accusing you. Do you know why?

 

[TheLastOne36]

I'm guessing it has something to do with him thinking i'm lying about the Item.

Anyway, you guys go and have fun, i'm taking a short nap while we rest at this stop.

OOC: I gotta wake up early tomorow, going to sleep now.. hope I don't wake up to a bandwaggon on me!

 

[choxorn]

Actually, he apparently was a converted Illian, and they return to innocent when the originals die.

Granted, that's just his word and I'm not entirely sure of the truth of it, but I'm willing to believe it for the moment.

 

[Love]

I'm sti' i' su'piciou' o' Autolycus, buh righ' no' I'm willi' t' trus' 'im.

 

[TForge13]

OOC: Sorry, sprig never told me where he got the items. (im n00b)

If sprig hadn't told me it was you who intercepted the Illians' message in the first place, I'd think you were trying to cover for a fellow conspirator. As it is, I think you're simply being too charitable.

I don't know whether Autolycus was really converted, or whether he was an Illian agent from the start. But I do know that he gave himself away as a villain. Unless someone can offer a reassurance that he really has been cured, then it would be silly to take his claims at face value.

 

[Khazaar]

Autolycus has to die then...

 

[TheLastOne36]

Frozen was the guy converting the others right? If so, than why when he died, Rhawn remained an Illian infiltrator.

Also Sprig the day before said he knew of bigger fish to crack than Autolycus, taht we should target today instead of Autolycus, he never told me who it was though. It could even have been Rhawn for all we know.

Anyone who shared the information with Sprig in the first place should speak up if we have bigger, better fish to catch.

 

[Love]

Th' fish wa' th' scurvy scum Rhawn.

 

[TheLastOne36]

If so, does that mean that Autolycus is a good guy again?

 

[Nictel]

"I'm willing to follow your judgement Autolycus, as for the sword. Yeah, I would like it. To protect myself.

 

[Love]

Autolycus. Not that I trust him, but I have enough reasons to believe that he might be innocent again.

 

[Stuck in Pi]

"I would like to say something about the flask, and that sprig asked that in his demise that I have it. As for Autolycus, I am unsure where he hangs right now, though I believe it possible for him to have become innocent again."

 

[Ekolite]

Stuck in Pi should have the flask if that's what sprig wanted.

 

[Love]

Stuck in pi fo' th' flas'

 

[choxorn]

Stuck in Pi may have the flask.

As to Autolycus, I'm not sure if he's on our side or not, but there are others to target, and knowing his ability, I can tell you he's not a threat to us if the original Illians are dead. There might even be a good reason to keep him alive for now.

 

[TheLastOne36]

UNVOTE Autolycus for now. Who else can we Lynch today?

 

[Autolycus]

Walking up to the cliff face that the champion's corpse had been thrown over, Autolycus pulls out a bag of gold and throws it after him.
"Sorry, after further consideration, I can't accept that contract. Here's your money back"
Turning back to the company, he speaks.
Think of me what you will, but I am no murderer, as choxorn and love can attest.
The berserker's death makes it clear that there is a murder among us. If you kill me today, you guarantee that the murderer will be able to strike again. If you kill someone else, there is at least a possibility that that individual is the killer.
Stuck in Pi is welcome to the flask.
What I'm wondering is, if

Our move this round seems clear

as the witchdoctor AskthePizzaguy claims, why hasn't he placed himself behind that move? Could it be because he wants as soft a link as possible between himself and the lynch when it becomes clear that I am loyal to the Company?
