NotW XXXI: It's a Long Story (Game Thread)

NotW XXXI: Night Three, Extended

There was clearly something fishy going on around here. Although dawn should have broken almost 10 minutes ago, it was clearly only barely past midnight. A deep chill swept through everyone's bones, and the night grew colder. Regardless of their personal warmth, however, everyone was forced to admit that it was still night.

As the council begrudgingly parted for another break, johnhughthom would find that this would be his last. Just as the members had about set on their various ways, the room grew dim and the lights went out. A panic swept amongst the councilors as they scrambled for various torches and candles, an agonizing scream came from the center of the room. Lighting a torch, one of the guards was immediately taken aback by the sight of the proper councilor lying on the floor, quickly bleeding out from a terrible throat wound. Although several attempted to quickly save him, the man succumbed to the ravenous vampire attack and died shortly.

A quick investigation turned up troubling results. In his room, there were several statuettes declaring his reverence for the Order. A local information gathering operation was sent into the world above (which was just as troubled by the long night as everyone else) and it was quickly revealed that the man was...

Spoiler :
johnhughthom, the Disbarred Confessor, was an Ex-Bannor Fugitive!


On his body, a Pinion was found. Brief magical identification revealed that it was, in fact, the Pinion of Truth, a powerful magical item. It would be voted on. In addition to this, his 9 Gold would be added to the pot. That was a total of 44.5 gold.

(NOTE: If you specifically have a night-phase ability, it has recharged. If you have an ability that may be used once during the evening or night, it has not recharged. For the purpose of phase-based durations, this phase counts.)

Hey, Csargo, did sprig send you any gold?
 
Choxorn, what does Sprig think he knows about you? You can answer in private if you wish.
 
This is strange...someone was desperate to save the Sneaky Councilor!

So Seon and his allies managed to buy some time, or what? Anyway, I agree with Renata's sentiments right above - I'd be willing to hear either side of the story, the evidence from those against sprig of what he's really doing besides collecting gold, or if the trio of greedy councilors had something worth telling me.
 
"Bannor? What is wrong with this council!

Anyway, I don't trust Sprig and I believe we need someone else to take the Pinion. How about civplayah?"
 
So Seon and his allies managed to buy some time, or what?
Seems doubtful doesn't it? Extending the night doesn't match up with the rest of their abilities in my mind (unless, perhaps, they actually did manage to buy some time from someone who does have this ability). My guess is there's a Seon sympathizer out there trying to give the fellow a fighting chance just for the heck of it.

And until TLO reveals his "use for the Pinion," Love can have it.
 
I could go more in depth but I don't know exactly what or how I can use it yet. (I assume the GM will go in detail on how I could use it when I get it)
 
The quiet councilor limps over to the table and places a hand on the Pinion. He wants it but doesn't seem to attached to it.
 
Pinion to TLO, then. Yes, I know his reasoning is specious, but Love's entire lack thereof is no better. Maybe TLO could tell me in private what he's really after. Or Love could.
 
Hey! Love, Csargo, Zack, CG, did you guys get any gold from sprig or not?
 
Love at least is honest in his reasoning (or lack thereof) for wanting the pinion.
 
Pinion to whomever gives me a reason...

I endorse this as well:
Translation: "Items do something. If you vote me the item I am sure I will know what it does".
