((OOC: Yes, that was kinda what I was getting at  :-D I think a better title for the comic would have been "Meta-Gaming", though.))

((IC:))
Your mission is to find the source of a mysterious killing spree that has befallen the city.

cesium133: Your future... doesn't look good.
ChaoSera: Okay, you get an elf rogue. You don't have to sleep, ever. But you probably wouldn't want to with killers on the loose, anyway.


TheEvilDog: In accordance with your wishes... you are a Shetland Pony. You are very sturdy and can protect your companions from tough blows with your body. You also have a very... cheerful nature.

Method of Madness: You are a tea kettle. Your role consists of as many vowels as consonants, making you a very balanced character, free to pursue whatever path you choose. You like to have parties with hares and hatters.

----

You start in a bar, sitting at a table with some other characters. On the table are a few miniatures and a cardboard standing upright, despite not being folded, defying gravity.

I am not quite sure how you expect this to help you with your quest, but okay.

While grabbing for the figurines, you briefly notice that the one that looks a bit like Gareth looks pretty damaged.

You successfully manage to captchalogue some of the figurines under your shirt. They are kinda poke-y.

The night seemed to be echoing the day, a nocturnal endlessness to match the slow drag of the sun. It is hard to say for sure, but perhaps that is why the night proved to be so very bloody in the end.

It certainly started out peaceful enough - despite the war and the suspicions people had leveled against one another, despite the innocent man they had hanged, there was some level of amiability to be found. Some had even joined together to play a game, though no one seemed to understand the rules very well. Still, the diversion was welcomed, even enjoyed, at least until a scream was heard from outside. There was a rush outside, but the struggle was over before anyone was there.

de_la_nae was laid out on the docks, staring blankly into the night sky, one arm laid out, the gentle waves of the sea lapping at her hand as it hung down. Her throat had been slit, and for apparent good measure she had been stabbed multiple times in the chest. Her robes and clothes were soaked in blood, running down to stain the wood of the docks and drip into the water.

Past the docks a boat was already out to sea, a figure wrapped in tight clothes steering away from the shore. "The Shapers will never suffer a rebel to live!" they called back to the assembled villagers, turning away from the city to steer away - it wasn't long before they were lost in the fog.

Stunned, the onlookers pressed forward to move the body, but before they could even reach her, an angry roar filled the air. The sound could only have come from a creation, and several people ran towards the noise, though the more sensible people hung back. The ones that raced to the scene found a battle taking place in the streets, TRVA123 standing tall and screaming orders at her creation, a towering Battle Gamma, skin glowing from within from the sheer power poured into it. It wasn't the only thing glowing, though - the human standing opposite the Shaper was glowing as well where her skin was revealed, in strips where her clothing had exposed her flesh, her eyes radiating with a cold, bright harshness.

The Gamma swung, and missed; the infiltrator was already running, though, charging at the monstrous creation and jumping on it, sinking her knives into the sides of its throat, even as it beat at her with fists solid as small boulders. It staggered and fell, and she rode it to the ground, raising her hand and blasting it in the face with conjured acid, directly into its eyes and roaring maw.

TRVA was already bringing forth another creation, some behemothic lizard, but her focus was interrupted as the infiltrator rose and charged the Shaper, leaving the creation behind her to claw at its own face in its final agonising moments. The half-formed creation was dispelled, and she shot a spell at the approaching assassin, a fireball that exploded through the night, bathing the scene in a burst of fiery light, hitting her square in the chest. She couldn't help but scream as it did, the fire burning through cloth and charring her flesh, her voice a roaring, inhuman tangle of pained fury and satisfaction - the satisfaction of a kill, the satisfaction that came as she leapt at the Shaper, taking her down and forcing a knife into her chest.

Silence.

The Shaper and her creation were dead, the only sound the heavy breathing of the infiltrator. The villagers that had gathered were silent, not speaking, not moving to intercept the killer of the leader of the Shapers in Porphyra. She looked up at them, her gaze hard, pupils glowing coldly from the essence that had reShaped her form, and in another moment she was on her feet and running.

Running.

And gone.

















Dawn broke over the city.

This... was eventful.

I think we can safely assume that our two attackers of the night are not the same person.

Person X attacked de_la_Nae with stabbing and found her to be a Rebel, which is interesting in itself, because that either requires some luck on their part, or they had a method to divine who she was. X self-identified as Shaper, but we don't know if that is true.

Person Y battled TRVA123, who turned out to be a Shaper. We don't know Y's motivations. We also don't know who attacked whom in the first place, although it looked a bit like Y attacked TRVA123 for sure and they defended.

Furthermore, we know the following:
Gareth's body was laid out in the street, badly mutilated. If there was a fight, he didn't put up much of one - his knife was unsheathed, his body covered in stab wounds and severe burns, flesh and armour burned away, melted from what could only be an acidic spell.

At least Acid-Person A, but possibly also Stabby-Person B, attacked Gareth. It is also worth noting  that we have seen Y use both daggers and acid, which may indicate they are Acid-Person A AND Stabby-Person B. In fact, I am gonna take this as my working hypothesis, because it's more likely than assuming that A and B attacked Gareth independently.

If Y=B, then Person X (the one stabbing The Cactus) is a new attacker, but only under the assumption that X did not teleport from their boat to the middle of the city to engage TRVA.

So for now, I am gonna assume the following:

  • Stabcidic Person Y killed both Gareth and TRVA123
  • We don't know the motives of Stabcidic Person Y
  • Stabcidic Person Y acted on the first night
  • Person X killed de_la_Nae
  • Person X is either a Shaper or just wanted to make us think they are a Shaper
  • Person X did not use Shaping to kill de_la_Nae
  • Person X is either employed by the Shapers or not member of the Shaper faction at all or they are a Shaper who prefers traditional weapons
  • Person X did not act on the first night


I shall also notice that noone playing my game died (not even cesium133, which was surprising to me), which means I am a beacon of luck and radiate positive energy all over the place, so everyone join my game!

Speaking of which, I roll Knowledge (Lore) to find out if Acidic Spray is a spell of the Shapers.

I went back and checked who got innocent mtmerrick killed. Apparently, it were:

* TheEvilDog
* cesium133
* TRVA123 (deceased)

TheEvilDog was really quick to accuse mtmerrick (which, incidentally, protected me, but that doesn't make me trust him any more.

So seeing as I have nothing else to go on:

TheEvilDog, answer for yourself.

Loki, I trust you as much as I trust your namesake. Which is to say, not much. You've been trying to distract the village away from what's going on, as a trickster would do, no less. Probably to throw us off from realising you're a murderer.

Why would I be serving Shapers? Their goals are not mine and vice-versa.

I went back and checked who got innocent mtmerrick killed.

I quote these because I think there's a little clashing between the statements. The first reads as though Loki is likely a rebel. But (I think) mtmerrick was a villager for the pro-shaper faction, since the shapers watched over the refugees. So it's a little weird that a rebel would think someone on the other side was innocent. This could probably be spun several different ways, so I will simply ask Loki to elaborate what he meant exactly in these statements for the sake of knowing where to go from there.

First of all, thank you for not jumping to conclusions, but asking for my input instead.

As I have stated before, my goal is to create an arrangement of the universe most conductive to my needs. My goals do not lie with the Shapers, nor against them, they are rather... orthogonal, if the term may be applicable. Thus, if a Shaper and I were to meet, we would probably have little to say to each other.

I am, however, not sure how you expect me to make a convincing argument here. If I state to side with any Shapers, I will surely receive an unpleasant visit from the rebels the night. If I state to side with any rebels, my visitors would probably be of the sort like the creations we have seen TRVA conjure, and I have a bad feeling about that. If I state to be a factionless villager, you might assume that I am only saying this to escape a trial swayed by whatever faction.

I regard mtmerrick to be a casualty of war, a man who came from nowhere, was thrown into a society which was apparently most alien to him, and then was lynched for crimes he did not commit. As such, his death pains me, as it did not bring any of the sides justice, nor knowledge, and I bore no ill will against him.

I just wanted you to clarify your intentions behind each statement. It wouldn't do me any good if you did state one way or the other, since my reaction to any revelations could cause me unwanted attention as well. I don't have any real issues with your answers either, since it was the only thing that makes sense other than you being a liar... which I suppose is still possible, but I have no reason to think so.

Though I do feel like you may be a little hasty in your vote... especially after so much effort in analyzing the the killers' MOs and victims. I'll have to review the past couple days just to see if I agree at all.

I'm suspicious of J, honestly.  For now, I kind of believe that Loki is innocent, and I definitely wouldn't want to kill someone for trying to outline their thought process - if anything, that's what we all should be doing.

So I'll be back.  I'm not really sold on anyone yet, but we still have time to talk about it.

I thought that's what you were trying to do with your last comment to Loki, but re-reading, I could have been reading too much into it?  Like "that's a lot of text to say very little.  *ominous eyebrow raise*."

I just wanted you to clarify your intentions behind each statement. It wouldn't do me any good if you did state one way or the other, since my reaction to any revelations could cause me unwanted attention as well. I don't have any real issues with your answers either, since it was the only thing that makes sense other than you being a liar... which I suppose is still possible, but I have no reason to think so.

This was insightful.

i was trying to see if loki was getting at anything more substantive than 'there were two killers'.

I'm suspicious of J, honestly.  For now, I kind of believe that Loki is innocent, and I definitely wouldn't want to kill someone for trying to outline their thought process - if anything, that's what we all should be doing.

So I'll be back.  I'm not really sold on anyone yet, but we still have time to talk about it.

If you were, for example, willing to act on those believes, I will not stand in your way.
In fact, I soon might be in no position to stand at all.

I can only repeat my reasons for wanting to lynch TheEvilDog. He cast his vote too fast for my taste. I hope that the Grand Jury can agree with my point of view, or otherwise look into themselves and follow their hearts in the search for truth.

I solemnly swear that I was not responsible for anyone's death. Nor do I steal apples from unsuspecting merchants. Not accusing anyone or anything, just saying that I do not do such things. Anyone who would do that would probably deserve to be hanged, but that's just my opinion.

Eh, Loki seems to be pretty intent on killing TheEvilDog, and I haven't seen any evidence that TheEvilDog is actually involved in killing anyone... so I'm going to vote to lynch Loki.

Ok, we're running out of time, and there are only two votes.  Ugh.  I don't really think it's Loki or TheEvilDog - then again, I've been completely wrong about people in the past.

Since I still have some time, I'm holding off for a minute and re-reading the thread.

Ok, de_la_Nae was a rebel and voted for cesium133 yesterday, which means he's likely not a bad guy *trying* to steer us wrong, which is not something I can say with any certainty about Loki.

So instead of leaving it up to chance, I'm going with cesium. 

vote to kill Loki

(and now I just realized that Unicorn's post was before cesium's, so my vote doesn't really make a difference.  This is what I get for not reading the thread in order  :-P)

The day ends in one hour. If you want to change your vote, there's still time.
