Voting process:

Execute Magnus - 7 votes (Xostor, Morning, Ellina, Werevolka, Nebo, WhiteLizard, WisTrit, Gur)

7 votes are required for execution.

The majority of the townspeople decided that the actor Magnus should be executed. When he was brought to the scaffold to have his head chopped off, a thick, acrid fog came from the forest, and in the evening silence, the sound of a pan flute could be heard. The spectators who came to watch the actor's execution were distracted, and when they turned their attention back to the scaffold, he was gone, having dissolved into the fog and would never appear again. Disappointed that the spectacle was ruined, the townspeople went home.

The sixth night has begun!

Scene one.
A small, dark room. Most of it is occupied by a rack on which Ellina is stretched; she quietly cries. Morning stands nearby and operates the rack. Through pain and tears, the girl asks when the torture will end, to which Morning replies: “When I let you go? Ha! Only when trees grow eyes will I let you go! Until dawn, I will be your spiritual guide. You still have many tortures ahead – you won't get away with just a simple drowning chair anymore!” After that, he falls silent and begins to untie the victim. Ellina looks at him in the face; his suddenly glassy eyes frighten her. He removes all the ropes and turns to dust. The girl runs away.

Scene two.
A house on the outskirts of the forest. An uninvited guest quietly enters; he approaches the bed where Forester Nebo sleeps soundly. The stranger examines the victim for some time, but the result of the examination does not satisfy him. A sharp blade pierces the forester’s neck; a stifled gasp and the sound of a closing door are heard. A few minutes later, another guest arrives; he approaches the body, reads aloud verses in a strange language, pours blue glowing liquid over the body, and leaves as quickly as the first visitor did.

Scene three.
Early morning, a small lake in the forest. Pirate WisTrit sits by the shore with a fishing rod, lost in thought. Suddenly, the lake turns a poisonous green color; the pirate hastily gathers his fishing gear and heads into town. On the way, he meets a running girl in tattered clothes; the pirate recognizes her as Ellina. The tavern owner tries to get to her tavern as soon as possible; she can already see it among the trees. Two old friends – a madman and a monk – are waiting for her near the tavern; the girl is even glad to see them; she wants to forget the nightmare of the night as soon as possible. Someone has attached a note to the tavern door:

I ran out of matches, my lighter broke.
P.S.: Dear residents, could you please rub yourselves with spices at night?
(Sincerely, your forever Maniac)

The sixth day begins!

Ellina looks him in the face, and she is suddenly frightened by Morning's eyes, which have turned glassy. He removes all the ropes and turns to dust.

Is this what I'm thinking? Was Locke really a vampire? :O or am I just an idiot -_-.

And Sky, as I understand it, was killed and then resurrected) good job, doc!) And it was probably Mann who killed him.

Ellina, Hosa, and Lisa were reconciled by a fairy.

Too bad, it seems the mermaid was killed (sad face). Mann is still alive. There's no trace of the water spirit anymore :(. Damn, that's terrible!

By the way, what does the reflection have to do with it? No, I remember that song (it's good, by the way), but vampires don't reflect, do they...?

Okay, let's say Morning was a vampire and decided to play the role of a recruited inquisitor. But why did he die?
And regarding Haven, not everything is clear. Why didn't the maniac eat him, but instead, it says: "the result of the examination did not satisfy him" (did Haven not look very appetizing?) Although, maybe I'm just nitpicking the words.
It seems like Visa is being poisoned for the second time.

A sharp blade pierces the Forester's neck, a stifled gasp is heard, and the sound of a closing door.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything to latch onto in terms of clues. But what I found interesting is that Veg wrote not "and the maniac left, slamming the door," but specifically "the sound of a knock" - i.e., an indication of the sound itself. Referring to the Werewolf's signature:

They knock softly on my door, my door...

And who else knocks on the door? :rolleyes: I think today we should execute the maniac-Werewolf.

Besides, I can add to the argument that there aren't many people left now, and this is the maniac's third murder, so the clues shouldn't be too difficult...
I can't link the clues from previous murders yet... but the point is that they don't really point to anyone.

I knew Morning didn't like me. Look what he's planning to do to me, you monster. )
He was supposedly an inquisitor who was turned into a ghoul. A white mage resurrected him, but who killed him, huh? Viscreet is sitting by the water. Hmm... I don't think they'd write a nickname if it was poisoning, so there must be some other action related to him, but someone was definitely poisoned. And where was the vampire? It's harder to figure out what the Joker was doing: confused:

"sharp blade" and "sound of a closing door" seem like clues.
Yes, and why did Morning die? Was he poisoned earlier, maybe?

Oh.....O_o
Thank you, Doc, you saved me from certain death.
I wonder why Morningstar disintegrated; he wasn't a vampire, was he? (They usually disintegrate).
Regarding the Werewolf, I don't think we should rush into anything, although the clue seems pretty good.

by the way, I just randomly remembered that on the first day, we already examined a clue related to Verwolke - a crane operator, who was also an artist. And the suspect's profile states that she is interested in graphic design.

Thoughts on the roles of the eliminated players: Deriel_Linch - abbot. Hermit - king. redwhait - warlock. Thorium - necromancer. Ta Kotoraya... - water elemental. Brackman - jester. Arandor - sorcerer. Morning - inquisitor. Magnus - devil/leshy. Morning was the inquisitor. He couldn't be recruited; he would have killed the vampire. But here it seems to be the opposite. However, the murder was committed by the Joker, using the ability of a necromancer. I'm glad that the White Mage is alive, but the maniac is also alive. The actions of the roles are not visible due to the "generalization," but why doesn't anyone write about this in the notes if there are inconsistencies?! "Reflection" could be linked to the action of the devil, as if the maniac killed himself, but I don't see the devil in the newspaper. The vampire is also not visible. Either it's the Lizard who turned Ellina, or Ellina herself. I'm still thinking about the rest.

"Reflection" would connect to the action, as if the maniac was killing himself, but I don't see a little devil in the newspaper.

By the way, I had an idea that Locke might be the Joker, and today he went to kill Ellina, but something redirected him to himself... that's the reflection.
I just think that Man-to killed Nebo.

By the way, there's no need to rush, but also no need to slow down... so, just in case, if I don't get to it today, execute the Werewolf.

by the way, I just randomly remembered that on the first day, we already examined the clue on Vervolku - cranes, there was such an artist. And the suspect's profile says that she is interested in graphics.

Well, well, and already "the suspect". Where is the presumption of innocence? All the evidence is far-fetched. It wasn't a crane there, but a crane-ah, and it was also on a cross. And besides, where does it say that I am interested in graphics?

I personally think that it's time to execute Hommi - evidence was found against him every day: about Cthulhu, about the yellow face, and about the bird. So

execute Hommi

Besides, where does it say that I'm into graphics?

I was writing from memory; to be more precise, I'll quote Werevolka's profile:

What do you do:
Designer. Computer graphics, printing.

So, something along those lines.

I'm basing my opinion on the latest clue about the knocking on the door... maybe someone will say I was too hasty, but I don't see any reason not to nominate someone for execution.
But honestly, nothing personal.

Hostor, I'm not a vampire. I suspected I might have recently become a ghoul, but the "Warlock" status in the note cheered me up a bit, and then everything turned out to be fine. Was it some kind of joke...?

By the way, I had an idea that Locke might be the joker, and today he went to kill Ellina, but something redirected him to himself... that's the reflection.

What kind of nonsense is this! Don't kill me!
I think Magnus was a devil, not a forest spirit. According to mythology, Pan had a flute, and Pan looks like a little devil. But I don't know how to explain today's title, "Reflection."
By the way, it turns out we were all three blocked. Does that mean one of us is a vampire? :eek: Correct me if I'm wrong. And it's not me, by the way.

I think I'll support Lizard; I like the version with the door knocking sound, and as far as I know, Werevolk hasn't been banned yet, unlike Hommi... Execute Werevolk.

Execute the Werewolf
