No matter how much they thought or argued, the mages were still unable to reach a single decision before sunset. Everyone dispersed to their rooms, sensing an event-filled night and preparing for a productive day.
The fifth night has begun
Added after 5 hours 29 minutes
Chapter V and Final - Freedom
Morning came to the Valley, and for some reason, it felt like a good morning. The council members entering the main hall were struck by a gruesome sight — in the middle of the hall lay the corpse of Kash, completely skinned, and even smiling. Beside him, Kyle was thrashing in final convulsions, trying to wheeze something like "I have avenged...". While the mages pondered what they saw, the Prophet entered the hall. Not at all surprised by the two corpses in the middle of the room, he began to cast a complex and terrible spell, but the council members managed to neutralize him in time. Bound by a spell, he screamed hysterically: "Why could I, an old fool, not unite them?! They slit each other's throats instead of killing you weaklings!", followed by curses and barely intelligible words...
And to this day, the Valley prospers under the careful guidance of the Council of Six...
Congratulations on completing the 9th mafia! :smile12:
From the Game Master:
I am happy that I was entrusted with running a mafia game of my own design, and I believe I ran it at a solid four :smile43:
The game was not without mishaps — first, the same-day modkill of Wedma that almost happened, and as for the second, the Demon Worshipers will tell you...
I've noticed two minor mistakes on my part now — I didn't provide an extra clue to Kyle, who was protected from poison, and I didn't post about checking the aura of the killed Hermit.
Both mafias pleased me with quality play, and if it weren't for the Demons' mistake, the town wouldn't have lasted long.
I want to highlight two players — Kyle and Kash; both can consider themselves leaders of their respective mafias, and both played well on the forum.
Wedma amazed me. You restless little wonder in feathers :rolleyes:. Give you free rein and you'd hang everyone just for having fingers in their avatar...
Role Distribution:
1. Lu41k - Alchemist 2. Revan - Master of Illusions 3. Гур - Lord of Elements 4. Zybr - Witch 5. Arandor - Pyromancer 6. Xostor - Lady of Nature 7. WhiteLizard - Portal Creator 8. Rift - Physiomage 9. Hermit - Warlock 10. Ta Kotoraya... - Psymage 11. Kash - Necromancer 12. Wedma - Wizard 13. Magnus - Summoning Mage 14. Нэйра Дрейк - Animage 15. Kyle - Demonologist 16. КостяN - Hydromancer Night One:
The title of the chapter — Night Musician — was very symbolic; it could describe the rain that fell during the night, or be linked to "-I listened to the most wonderful music from another world all night and slept perfectly," shared Arandor., but above all, it indicated that all clues for the night were related to music.
Hermit entered the hall here. He looked unhealthy; he explained his same-day arrival by saying he had drunk something wrong before bed.
The Alchemist checked a potion
our old good friend Gur is now lying on his own bed with slashed lungs, and his lush beard is torn to shreds. On the wall, the killer scratched the simplest children's counting rhyme — "Chiki-briki finger out." On the floor are prints of soft shoes and bear claws.
Killer - Magnus Italics - hints at the victim's role (Lord of Elements) Underlined - hints at the killer's role (Summoning Mage) Bold - clue. I decided not to give too obvious clues on the first night; I chose a song from Magnus's userbar. It is enough to enter "L'ame-stram-gram translation" into a search engine, click the first link that pops up and look closely. I chose the simplest counting rhyme, thinking it was common knowledge :) . If you had seen how it is played, you would hardly have suspected Revan or Xostor.
As for KostyaN, he is hanging from the ceiling of his room upside down, and beneath him lies a magical artifact left by the criminal that should wake its owner at eight o'clock. Before being hung, KostyaN aged a couple hundred years in just one night. There is eternal disorder on KostyaN's table; as always, there is a pile of books and a stack of papers with his personal seal in the form of the letter B.
Killer - Kash Italics - hints at the victim's role (Hydromancer) Underlined - hints at the killer's role (Necromancer) Bold - clues. The main one is quite debatable; it was almost ignored — Upside Down — the title of one of Spleen's new songs (see signature and I will add Kash). Extra clue — an alarm clock set for 8 o'clock — the beginning of the song "All This Nonsense" by Spleen: "I turned off the phone, set the alarm for eight..." — a line from a song in Kash's "add me". And you wouldn't believe how this clue was mocked — divided into parts, turned into a clock instead of an alarm...
-This item was lying on the bookshelf in my room – with these words Revan showed the council members two completely different flowers – a blue violet and white lavender. -Dripping water from the ceiling kept me awake all night – grumbled Zybr. -And my whole room is covered in some kind of pollen – said WhiteLizard. -I listened to the most wonderful music from another world all night and slept perfectly – shared Arandor. Lu41k, Kyle, and Wedma spoke of creatures they saw in their dreams – Lu41k saw monsters and nightmares, Kyle dreamed of noble elves, and Wedma met her own double in a dream.
Revan was visited by the wizard and the lady of nature, the hydromancer protected Zybr, an animage came to White Lizard, Arandor was blocked by the portal creator, Lu4ik was checked by the demonologist, Kyle was checked by the psymage, and Wedma was visited by the master of illusions.
Night Two:
The title — Gift of Fate — referred to the Witch, resurrected by Xostor
Everyone said in unison that they felt a stench spreading through the Forum buildings for almost the entire night.
Witch (role) was brewing a potion for Kyle.
Wedma appeared last of all. She looked very strange – there were several burns on her face, and her hair and clothes were entwined with ivy.
Killed by the Pyromancer, but resurrected by the Lady of Nature
Revan said that in the morning he found a pair of wings resembling butterfly wings on his bed, and Xostor demonstrated a paper crane found on the bedside table. Kash mentioned that during the night he briefly left his own room, and when he returned, he found two doors and two rooms behind them instead of one. At the end of the meeting, the mages shared their dreams – Rift saw beautiful girls, although they had horns and tails; Zybr had two dreams – in the middle of the night he was visited by hardworking dwarves, and towards morning Zybr dreamed of a cemetery. Lu41k surprised everyone most of all, having seen fifty different dreams in one night.
Revan was visited by an animage, the wizard protected Xostor, Kash was protected by the master of illusions, Rift was checked by the demonologist, Zybr was checked by the psymage and attempted to be raised by the necromancer, and Lu4ik was blocked by the portal creator.
Night Three:
The title — Prophecy — refers to the Prophet. There were even thoughts of introducing him into the game.
He is now lying not far from Zybr's room in an unnatural pose. His heart no longer beats, but not a drop of blood has flowed from him and there is not a single scratch on his body, not even traces of magic remain. In his room lies the deep blue-black egg of some creature and a small vial, as if for perfume, and the walls are painted with something. Besides the criminal's tracks, one can notice dirty boot prints and slime secreted by mollusks.
Killer - Lu4ik (lost nd as a result) Italics - indication of belonging to demonologists (Summoning Mage) Underlined - indications of the killer's role (Alchemist) Bold - clue. Egg — based on the "Order of the Phoenix" clan. Deep blue-black — as an indication of a female alchemist (the phoenix in Chinese mythology belongs to Yin — the feminine dark principle). The Warlock visited — without result. Magnus himself intended to kill Zybr.
-Prophet, can you explain what happened to me tonight? – Kyle suddenly said – I felt very bad before going to bed, had no dreams, and when I woke up, I found a candle on the table emitting a wonderful aroma. -It is very simple. You, like many others, opened the wrong window – after these words from the Prophet, Kyle nodded understandingly – now tell me about the smaller events of this night. Perhaps I can interpret your dreams? -I dreamed that a terrible fiery horned beast took one of the flowers I found the day before yesterday – answered Revan. -A fly was buzzing over me and kept me awake – said WhiteLizard. -I saw my own execution – shared Arandor. Zybr traveled in his sleep, and Wedma had two whole dreams – first angels appeared and played a fanfare on their long trumpets, and then the dream from two days ago repeated.
The wizard did not let Kyle die from poison (there was a debatable moment), an indication of Kyle's mistake; no one paid attention Revan was checked by the demonologist (+indication of Xostor's role), White Lizard was visited by an animage, Arandor was raised by the necromancer, Zybr was blocked by the portal creator, Wedma was checked by an animage and protected again by the master of illusions.
Night Four:
The title of the chapter — Gambit — refers to a chess game between Arandor and Hermit, +to Hermit killing two birds with one stone.
He was clearly receiving a guest and playing chess with him – on the table stood a board with four knights. Arandor is lying on the floor with a knife stuck in his heart by himself.
Killer - Hermit Did not provide hints for the victim's role Underlined - indications of the killer's role (Warlock) Bold - clue. Hermit is part of the "Knights of the Apocalypse" clan — a reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
In this same room near the exit, Hermit found his death, and it was truly terrible – first he was charmed, then roasted over slow fire, and finally, his skull was crushed, depriving the poor fellow of brains. On the corpse lies a bouquet of flowers not very fresh and a drawing of a pretty girl.
Killer - Kyle Indication of Hermit's role — he died in Arandor's room Underlined - indications of the killer's role (Demonologist) — demonesses acted here, who first charmed and then had their fill of frolicking with the victim. Bold - clues. A bouquet of flowers not very fresh — otherwise a broom, reference to the bathhouse (see Kyle's signature). Extra — girl — also refers to the signature.
-This item was lying on the bookshelf in my room – with these words Kash demonstrated a dragon figurine made of solid crystal. -During the night all plants and flowers in my room suddenly bloomed – Revan said. Ta Kotoraya... saw herself as a bird soaring over the earth all night, and Wedma complained about a recurring dream.
Kash was protected by the wizard, an animage came to Revan, Ta Kotoraya was blocked by the portal creator, and Wedma was again protected by the master of illusions.
Quality is poor, handwriting is crooked :rolleyes:
Apologies for possible mistakes — writing almost at night, I will add and correct tomorrow.
