Acolytes game 2: Day 4

[Fool's Requiem]

I could, but I did have a reason for wanting to hold on to it for now. Besides, don't you think you're the most likely candidate for them to try to kill tonight, with them trying to stop your resurrect? What good does it do if you die with the Talisman? I assume Jawneh has no reason to try to kill me tonight, as it's the only way he can play the "Ben is suspicious!" card. Once I die and am proven as Friar, he can't hide anymore. He's not going to try to take the Talisman from my dead body.

We can wait til tomorrow... assuming Tommy is Acolyte... because if he's not, we're fucked.

I'm also going to end up being busy most of the weekend. Going to Collect-A-Con tomorrow. So I wouldn't mind wrapping this up lol

[Jawneh]

I'm around for like an hour, two tops.

 

[Jon]

It's more just explaining likely absence tomorrow. I'll try to check in, at least to toss a vote out there.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ants is aware everyone has skipped. The time is almost upon us.

 

[Ants!]

I'll update in like 20 or 30 minutes

 

[Ants!]

Sheesh. Power was out when I got home (bad weather today) so I gotta do this on my phone. Bear with me a sec.

 

[Ants!]

The sun dips low as the final accusations are carved into the air with trembling fingers and tired voices. The crowd swells and breaks like a tide — suspicion crashing into certainty, and then silence.


All eyes fall on Tommy Boy.


He stands calmly, arms crossed, hood pulled low, the faint scent of sulfur still clinging to his robes. No plea. No denial. Just a small, bitter smile — as if this ending had always been written.


"You're afraid of what I might summon," he says softly. "Not what I've already called."


The rope is drawn.

The noose tightens.

And the fire in his eyes flickers one last time.


As his body goes still, the wind picks up — dry and strange. Somewhere in the hills, something howls once, then falls silent.


The Summoner is dead.

But the echoes of what he called are not.





Day phase will open as soon as I have everybody's night action. Which I guess will probably be sometime tomorrow given how late it is. Send me a message even if you're not doing anything but skipping.

 

[Ants!]

Oh yeah I forgot.
