Posts from Mafia 88. Corruption

And is the movement of the Mages random or directed?

Directional.

Role assigned.

Sjöról, stripped to the waist, lay in his bed. It was late at night, but he wasn't sleeping; he was staring at the ceiling and thinking about something. Or perhaps dreaming. Next to him, completely covered with a blanket, someone else was asleep. After some time, the northerner grew tired of just lying there and went downstairs to the first floor of his house. In a rather large room stood a medium-sized wooden table, several chairs, and a bookshelf. Trophied weapons hung on the walls, and logs crackled in the fireplace. The warrior lit an oil lamp and, taking one of the books from the shelf, sat down at the table. For the past few weeks, a treatise by a well-known philosopher-necromancer has captivated the warrior until dawn. And this time it would have been like yesterday, but Silael, who appeared from the shadow of the table, distracted Sjöról from reading.
- I brought something.
- What? - asked the warrior without looking up from the book.
- Information.
The dark elf began to take out large bundles of paper from his shoulder bag and spread them out on the table. After unfolding about ten such bundles, he rearranged them and folded one large map of the dungeons and sewers of the city.
- About the person I spoke about at the last meeting. The source of the problem. He moves through underground passages and sewers. I marked the places where people were infected. There was no other way for him to get into different parts of the city without being noticed by guards or shadows.
- Isn't anyone watching the dungeon?
- It's a labyrinth of confusing paths. No one knows it except my people. You can't just walk through it wherever you want.
- But he did.
- Yes, he is capable of much, since my shadows haven't tracked him down yet.
Light footsteps could be heard. Lilaella descended the stairs from the second floor. Covering herself with a blanket, she walked over to the table and sat next to Sjöról. Silael quickly gathered the papers and, approaching the fireplace, began to throw them in one by one.
- Station your men with Voljor at all entrances and exits to the dungeon and sewer. My people will deal directly with the passages. I hope you remember the places that are not worth wasting time on.
The northerner nodded silently. Silael burned the last paper and, looking at his sister with a condemning look, disappeared into the shadow of the table.

...But MyHighness spent the night safely at her home. But two northerners didn't let her sleep properly. They talked loudly all night, laughed, ate dried squid, and told dirty jokes. One of them propped up the door of the house so that it couldn't be opened, while the other constantly kept his hand on his sword.

...MasteR was luckier. A disciplined soldier guarded near his house, and he slept well...

...A man with an unpleasant appearance pursued an unknown person throughout the night, but the potential victim managed to avoid trouble...

...At midnight, someone stumbled upon human remains and immediately hurried away without taking any action...

Alive:

1) Sesame
2) Neyra Drake
3) Zlobny Yashchur
4) TenshiCH
5) MyHighness
6) MasteR
7) ToX
8) Ment
9) Arandor
10 Gekasan_RU
11) Aniruddha
12) Larisa
13) Gur
14) Morning
15) Ursula
16) Ple-Sen

Just like Nebka usually does.

Follow the clues and solve the mystery.

...A rather unpleasant-looking gentleman pursued an unknown man throughout the night, but the potential victim managed to avoid trouble...

Biting?:smile29:

...At midnight, someone stumbled upon human remains and immediately hurried away, taking no action...

"Someone" tried to pick someone up, but the corpse was gone?

P.S. I assume someone, MyHighness, is the Mafia member who needs to be executed immediately?:smile04:

"Someone" tried to pick someone up, but the corpse was gone?

Although, it seems "someone" ran into a Corpse.

- knows Lilael, can communicate with her

And not only that.

And that's not all.

They're just friends, you don't understand.

Sky, a question for you: if Cornelius tries to raise a living player, will it be reflected in any way?

Not many non-displayed actions are visible...

Town:
Syorol is defending Haynes.
Volyor is blocking Haynes.
Cornelius is possibly trying to randomly raise someone, but failing, as all players are alive. (???)
Warrior is defending Master.

The rest are using non-displayed actions. It's just unclear why there's no block from the blacksmith, as he has no other actions, and there's no point in skipping his turn. Also, someone may have encountered a corpse ("At midnight, someone stumbled upon human remains and immediately hurried away, taking no action..."), unless it's a necromancer's action.

Mafia:
Infected is trying to bite someone, but failing.
There are no other actions, which is very strange. Sky, am I right in understanding that infection is displayed with the player's nickname, even in case of failure?

I wanted to write, but... Yes, I agree with Larisa.

It's just unclear why there's no block from the Blacksmith, since he doesn't have any other special abilities, and skipping a turn wouldn't make sense.

The Blacksmith has the following special ability:

- gains the ability to block after being infected by Volyora.

And yes, it seems like there was a Mafia member in the block, most likely Nekto.

Execute MyHighness

Although, no, that would be silly... probably, the infection is displayed without a nickname. Then, maybe this is what it was: "...A vile-looking man pursued an unknown person throughout the night, but the potential victim managed to avoid trouble...".

gains the ability to block after infecting Volior

Exactly, I didn't notice.
But the fact that there was a Mafia member in the block is not certain.

Ursula, why are you so sure that it was a Mafia member in the block?

I'm not sure about anything, but the chances of executing the Mafia seem pretty good to me.
If the infection were displayed without a nickname, it would probably be written as "displayed as a fact," or not?

But the fact that there was a Mafia member in the block is not a fact.

What other options do you see?

Yes, it was probably an infected map. I couldn't infect it, so here it is.
