Mafia Round 3 - Precautions

[Dylflon]

Immediately following the burning at the keeps courtyard, Mario Lover left to seek out his bed-ridden son. Maester Teuthida had brought some salves to ease the boy's itching yet his son was in constant discomfort. The Maester decided this was no case of hives but was rather red spots that the lad must have caught from one of the other children. The red spots were harmless in children but potentially fatal in adults. Mario thanks his lucky stars that he had the spots as a child. Teuthida claimed that he'd be able to fetch supplies to better ease the boy's suffering if he were allowed from the keep.

But Mario's brother was intent on not letting that happen. In fact, he'd taken many strange precautions lately. The king's first order of business had been to have all the cooks and servants killed. This of course was fruitless. Of the fifteen or so people he had killed, none of them turned out to be possessed. Though Mario did not believe in enchantments. This was the work of regular assassins through and through. Mario knew who he had to accuse.

The king entered the banquet hall later that evening, surrounded by his guards to call everyone to council. The queen had insisted that they feed another suspect to the flames. Some suggested Schadefreude of the royal guard, due to his overly mistrustful disposition of late. But one thing Mario had never expected was the Maester's accusation. Maester Teuthida stood up tall and said "The only person of late who has made themselves scarce is Lord Mario Lover. It pains me to say, but he may be posessed." The Red Priest grinned his fool's grin and nodded along with the Maester.

"Outrageous!", shouted Mario. "I have been scarce because I've been tending to my sick son. This was clearly the work of an assassin but we all turn a blind eye to the assassin in our midst. I say we feed him tot he fire." Many shouted in agreement including many of the guards, Dyne's sellsword, and the singer.

Fyacin didn't seem surprised, as if he was expecting this to happen all along.

That night in the courtyard Thespis played Fyacin a dirge as they prepared to set him aflame.

"Those who take up the secret fight
and takes lives and steal 'way by night
think they are faster than fate but we know
to hell is where assassins go"

Lord Dyne gave a nod to his pet sellsword Angrist who threw the torch atop Fyacin and the several gallons of oil that covered himself and the pyre. Fyacin shot up in flames, yet no spirit escaped his body. Just as Mario thought. No sorcery involved at all.

Just then the royal guard Sir Manasecret unsheathed his sword and made a dash for Mario and the King, screaming all the while. Mario tried to retreat but only fell on his behind. He could do nothing but try to shield his face from the blow. Just as Manasecret was upon him, a crossbow bolt caught him in the back. Manasecret collapsed on top of Lord Mario. Blood poured out of Manasecret's mouth onto Mario's doublet. The blood was followed by a ghostly apparition that seemed to crawl out of the mouth of Manasecret before stealing into the night sky.

Lord Mario could only stare on, in horror.

Copy and paste from the last thread in case you missed it:

So, several players have PMed asking for a clarification.

They say that one player has been asking them to quote the villager role PM to see if they're innocent and want to know if it's okay to quote their PM to them.

Normally I'd be against PM quoting but I had forgotten to mention that every player got the villager PM and I did not copy and paste it so there may be slight variations. So role PM sleuthing won't really get you anywhere.

[BreakABone]

Interesting did the Mafia not get a vote this round?

[The Germanator]

Hmm, good job vigilante! We got one. I had my doubts that Fyacin was a bad guy and I guess I was right about that.

It's always dangerous to start voting for one person because then the bad guys can pile on and slip by unnoticed. I still have concerns about a few players out there..

[Angrist]

Blast, my theory was wrong. Fyacin, why didn't you defend yourself a bit more??
So then I guess Jeepnut isn't a (big) suspect either.

And yeah, good job vigilante.

Edit: Since Manasecret flew under the radar, it's hard to guess who his associates were. Or maybe it's ironic to think that they would drop hints so easily?

[Bond]

Hit!

Sorry Fyacin.

[manasecret]

doh! oh well its really hard to post from my girlfriends cell where theres little service anyway. gl to the mafia

[uber_paddler]

Nice work vigilante!

[Thespis721]

A second time in a row we villagers be wrong.
I share in that blame as much as any other.
The mafia did not get a kill upon our throng.
The three who didn't vote, may not be our brother.

[Dyne]

Aha, my suspicions were correct. Manasecret got what was coming to him. It didn't matter if I voted for him or not.

As for further voting, I don't know who. I know I can trust Angrist, though, because it's what my gut is telling me.

[Fox 6]

hrmmmm....

careful voting needs to be implemented now.

[Fyacin]

Well can't say I didn't see that coming honestly, heh, even I would have voted for me. Good luck villagers!

[Typhoid]

I missed the whole of round 2.
Holy. Sorry guys. At least this train keeps moving without me - even though we voted out the wrong person and the vigilante did it for us. Haha.

Anyways, I will get this ball rolling, since I need to make up for last round.

!vote Teuthida

[Thespis721]

I know not who to vote for this time,
But if Manasecret was a bad guy,
He voted mariolover and Dyne.
I say that possibly clears them in my eye.

[Jason1]

Uh so what is the deal with the Mafia in this round? Did they miss the deadline or what? Or am I missing something alltogether...

im still getting the hang of this...
