Soul Scourge

Prologue​

The champions gathered in Hrothguard, ready to face the harsh winter winds. Life was tough these days, as it had been for the few centuries since the fall of the Council. The mountain was an unfertile rock as far as the farmers were concerned, and even the lands at the base bore little fruit and it was a constant struggle to fight the frost; the tundra made it difficult for roots to take hold, and the growing seasons were short. The periods of 48 hours of warm daylight followed by 24 hours of total frozen darkness certainly didn't help for the health of the plants. But with careful planning, there was enough to steadily build up a surplus, something to last the winter, and the city did provide safety. A stronghold, away from the factional fighting in the rolling plains. No real chance of getting murdered in your sleep in some raid by a warring faction. Or so it seemed.

Thought the sky was gray and dismal, the people though certainly did not express any deep sorrow. Introductions were made all around as the "Champions" socialised amongst themselves rather cheerfully.

"Hi there!" "Howdy! Is John here yet?" "Wow that's a cool spear you got there" "One time I shot a deer straight from 100m away!" "Utavarhotvankarash! DEATH TO THE HUMAN KIND" "My name's Bill, um Randy was it?"

Just then, a man named Kennigit frantically began to speak up.

"THEY ARE HERE! THEY HAVE RETURNED! EVERYONE TO YOUR QUARTERS, I SHALL CONCOCT A POTION CAPABLE OF WARDING THEM OFF, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE"

"What's here?"

"Why the daemons of the Fall! The very creatures of myth that wiped out the elves and the dwarves, the bringers of this chaos! THE SOUL SCOURGE! And I'm afraid one of them may be among us!"

Everyone gasped. Some were scared. Some were not. Murmurs erupted throughout.

"They're real?" "It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to be honest, I mean, Kennigit said he can ward them off...." "No no, I thought they were all destroyed! How could they return, after what, a century?" "THERE ARE TWO OF US HERE, YOU PUNY HUMANS SHALL MAKE MY FEAST" "Where the heck is John?"

But, everybody listened to Kennigit. They retired for the night.

Day 1​

The champions all gathered, waiting for Kennigit to show back up. After a while, they decided to look at his quarters. What they found was not a pretty sight. Kennigit layed motionless on the ground, yet no pool of blood or entry wounds were on his body. The champions looked at his eyes, and that was a sight that could never be forgotten: Kennigit seemed more than simply dead, he seemed.....drained. As if his very essence was ripped apart from him.

Spoiler :

Kennigit was a Hostman!

"Well what do we do now?" "Someone must have killed him!" "*Burp* mmm not me!" "Well WHO?"

It was decided that a lynch should be decided upon in these 48 hour days. The plurality would decide all lynches. In case of a tie, the first to reach that number would be lynched. No lynch was an option.

CORE RULES

Spoiler :

The game has 2 stats in attack and defense: ATK c5war and DEF c5strength

For the 10-14 player size, there are 2 soul scourge

• ATK > DEF kills at night. Ties do not. All stats (including auras and soul scourge gains as applicable) are summed up in an attack and defense.
• lynch is plurality and kills automatically; no stats matter for lynch. tied lynch first to reach number dies. "no lynch" is option
• Anyone can attack. If you have +0 ATK as a stat, you would just contribute 0. However, it is possible to have negative attack and such.
• The attack with the highest ATK stats against him will be hit first. In case of tie, the attack with the highest number of people involved contributing positive attack stats goes first (a +ATK aura counts as being involved, a -ATK aura does not). In case of that tie, target with highest defense gets hit later (eg 20 ATK > 15 DEF and a 20 ATK > 10 DEF, the latter is hit first. It could kill someone in the other attack, dropping to say 10 vs 15 DEF if it killed a swordsman). In case of that tie, priority is given highest contribution from soul scourge + swordsmen. In case of tie, the attacks happen as if occurring in parallel. So if like the demons are attacking swordsmen who are attacking the demons, it depends on the numbers involved, and thus the person who is attacked second could survive if they kill the other attacker first
• Role reveal on death
• no editing posts with votes in them
• you do not receive confirmation of actions taken on you. otherwise, it is trivial to "chain" together all town/champion actions
• the dead do not participate in the thread
• In a "1 vs 1" lynch (2 players alive, 1 is scourge, 1 is town), the scourge wins

The only rules I care about is no quoting PM's or screenshots/similar things. You can make whatever quicktopics you want, PM freely, post in thread day and night phases, whatever.

 

[Kennigit]

Role PM's out, though I do like how I forget to check read receipts on like a couple of them. Kinda makes it pointless to do read receipts at all (I don't have that autochecked and rarely use it)

 

[Visorslash]

Welcome back, Vote: Jarrema

In terms of the scum gaining powers per kill, hopefully it doesn't get too out of control, there would be three scum normally in a game this size, but I don't know if there wil only be 2 if they are gaining powers. In any case, I hope there are a lot of spearmen around.

You know if we all had picked swordsman the scourge could literally not kill anyone at night. Oops.

Also, does my username say Askthepizzaguy? Why the hell are people randomly roleclaiming to me already?
