The sky hasn't healed since the god stepped through.

The village is a flicker in the ruins — one stubborn flame where hope has not yet guttered out. Smoke still rises from the cities. The stars do not return. Most who survive now kneel or serve, their wills bent to the one who watches from beyond.

But not here.

Here, mages speak in hushed tones behind cellar doors. Old rituals are whispered through cracked lips. Scholars and holy men search ancient texts for a way to undo what was done — to send the god back into the dark.

And they are not alone.

The Acolytes have returned, hidden among the villagers. They smile. They listen. They whisper doubts and feed paranoia. Their task is simple: learn what the villagers know — and stop them before it's too late.


The villagers are not strong. They are not safe.
But they are not ready to give up.

The game began with 4 Acolytes, 1 violent solo, 1 non-violent solo, 1 clairvoyant on the village team, and 9 other villagers. There is no set amount of strong villagers, the limitation is there can not be more than 1 of each (for example, there can't be two Mages). So the number of strong villagers can be anywhere from 1 to 6.

Minimum to witch hunt is 1/2 of the living players, odd numbers are rounded down.

The sun rises, casting gold across the village square. Doors creak open. Sleepy eyes scan the streets.

No bodies. No blood. No silent warnings carved in walls or left in gardens.

For the first time in days, the chapel bell is still. The tavern is quiet — but not empty. Everyone is accounted for.

Whispers ripple through the town.
Did the Acolytes hesitate? Did their blade miss? Or are they planning something worse?

The silence is not comfort. It's suspense.

No deaths last night.

Well he fell for it. I didn't want to give up the Talisman yesterday because I was trying to bait the Acolyte kill onto me, knowing Saint Quagmire had given me a shield too. They fell for it and I deflected the attack against me. Helps our numbers.

@Ants! Please give my Talisman to Fool's Requiem.

What I don't get is why Fool's didn't get off a resurrection... I thought that was basically guaranteed.

Anyway, I think we need to kill Zell today. I don't think we've got a way to stop him killing whoever he wants tonight.

@Ants! Take me to the Dark Forest, please. I get the feeling going to the Cursed Ruins again would get me killed from repetition.

I know everyone is busy today so I feel like I'm talking to myself here, but if we eliminate Zell today it's 3v1 going into tonight. Jawneh might kill one of us overnight, but it'll still be 2v1 tomorrow and the village can win.

Even better if Fool's remembers to ressurect someone tonight...
 
FYI: this evening I'm leaving after work to spend the weekend with my inlaws, so I won't have access to any of the computers with the folders where I saved my 300+ pictures to prepare for this game, so if the game doesn't wrap up in the next 7 hours or so then questing might have less pretty images and updates will have to wait until whenever I could sneak 2 to 5 minutes on my phone between family time.

We started this game Monday morning and here we still are on Saturday, duking it out! It's been a blast for me so far and I appreciate everyone's participation, feedback, and patience for my oopsies.

@Ants! I'll sell my Thornshade ingredient to the shop please.

Word. I've said it in PM but I appreciate the effort you've put into running this. It's been very fun.

I figured if one failed, the other was sure to succeed... because I was rolling a fucking D60.

Ants said he hoped I would roll a 120 to revive kut. Kinda should have. I never considered the possibility of Ben being targeted. I thought they would go for the confirmed townie.
That's why I posted late about 'hurr durr they'll try to kill you, not take my talisman'. I needed to tempt his ass into doing just that.

Oh well, just drink the whole new giant's potion tonight and you should be guaranteed to bring kut back. Should give us 3v1 going into tomorrow even if someone dies tonight.
 
based on a message I received, the lantern may not be one time use. which honestly makes sense considering you have to roll an 18 or better on a D20 die...

or if you fail to roll an 18 or better it just stays unused. waiting on confirmation.
You can save your life with it repeatedly, it doesn't go away. Do you want to change your mind about purchasing it?

Holy shit, okay. No one died. 3v1v1. This is very doable now.

Err... I procrastinated posting this for like an hour as I was watching some Jonathan Ferguson videos. I'll get to the actual meat and potatoes of what I want to post later when I have some attention span to spare.

In the meanwhile, I'll go quest at the Island of Mists @Ants!

@Ants! Gimme that Lantern and the Luck Potion out of the store, please.

Might as well try and survive the night.
