Posts from Mafia 105. Raid of the Damned

Good evening. It's time for me to overcome my laziness and spend some time working on the puzzle, or just sit and contemplate it, whatever happens.

Divination of clues doesn't hinder the successful execution in this case... Even Yashur says that clues of Tox's level are irrelevant. Yes, I cunningly twisted everything, that's just how I am!
Although I no longer believe in a successful execution today; we'll lose a day, I can feel it... Well, when I'm a corpse tomorrow, you'll know what to do, if it's not already too late.

By the way, did you try using the likenesses of various Matveyevs and others? Why didn't anyone try Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow? )

However, I don't see anything beyond a Barbarian unit of level 16 before Luzhkov's resignation -> the demise of Scandinavia -> Viking Line -> Vikings -> Scandinavian mythology -> Ragnarok Online...
for now.
Or, perhaps, following a similar principle, the developer of EVE is in Iceland.

Not the demise of Scandinavia, but the demise of Estonia, but you get the idea.

Execute Ment - 4 votes (Yashchur, Revan, Shaman, Nebo).
Execute Yashchur - 3 votes (Ment, Nefela, Plesen).
NNV - 1 vote (Heroist).

7 votes are required for an execution.

No one was executed. The third night begins!

- We need to move on. We can’t stay here any longer. Every day spent here decreases Ana’s chances of survival!

The entire raid was silent, listening to the leader’s angry tirade. Only Bryce dared to interrupt:

- Who knows what dangers await us ahead? You saw it yourself: there are huge numbers of demons further on, and besides, we might encounter traps set by the cunning demon. I think it’s foolish to rush headlong. Here, we have some kind of shelter where we can rest and regain our strength.

For the past few days, Mealgar and Magzargaz had been venturing out during the day and luring small groups of enemies into the hall, where the raid would deal with them, and in this way, the caves were gradually being cleared, but there were still too many enemies to move forward properly. This, as well as Morning’s death, explained the leader’s anger.

- Enough time has already passed, - Fenaram ventured to say. - Perhaps the prefect has already noticed our absence and sent help...

- To hell with help! - the orc spat. - What will they find here? A bunch of cowards sitting around with their tails between their legs?

- So, you’d rather die than maintain a good reputation?!

- Quiet, darling, quiet... - Taniel soothed her fellow elf. - Shouting won’t help... I suggest we stay here a little longer. Fenaram, Beleara, Hardundr, and Marianna can set up a magical defense network so that the demons don’t attack us at night. We’ll gather our strength and break through. But we need to weaken the enemy a little more. Everything will be alright, don’t worry.

The calm and melodic voice of the elf really calmed the raid, even the angry Mealgar. Gradually, everyone went to prepare defensive fortifications: both magical and ordinary barricades. The heroes were silent, as each was lost in their own thoughts. And only Bryce smiled under his helmet:

- I want to see the horror in their eyes when they discover the “demon’s” new masterpiece in the morning, - he thought, stroking his axe.

Night Three. When the Angels are Silent.

For once, the healer was praying. Unlike her companion, she wasn't a priestess, but she would sometimes turn to the Lord to receive his blessing. Perhaps, objectively, there was no point in this, but it helped her to focus and gain confidence. After finishing her prayer, she began preparing her signature, incredibly powerful spell. "Tonight, no one will die..." she firmly believed.

Alas, even her efforts could not save Nephela. In the morning, they first discovered her head, separated from her body by a single, clean blow. Sighs, screams, and weeping filled the room, but the loudest were the curses directed at those who had sent her on this mission, those who had destroyed her young life, by the standards of her race. And someone even noticed that such a heinous act would have earned a 20-year sentence at the Nuremberg trials.

Something strange continued to happen with Ment. Perhaps it was the stress, but he was clearly not thinking clearly in the morning and couldn't say anything coherent. But, despite this, he moved quite briskly, as if his body, on the contrary, was filled with energy. And someone whispered that Ment had a rather unpleasant, swampy odor.

Living members of the raid:
1. Ment
2. Gur
3. Ple-Sen
5. Zlobny Yashchur
7. Nebo
8. Heroist
9. Fragment
10. Neyra Drake
11. KindShaman
12. Azuchi
13. MasteR

Fallen heroes:
4. Nephela
6. Morning

The city has a useful ultimate ability; it's perfect against the Mafia with two protection ignores. They lost the check. Moreover, it seems they tried to kill her in previous nights as well, since the non-ignoring, one-time protection didn't help. And Mент was a Frog again.

Okay, now it's clear that Ruby is the culprit. Thanks for clearing up the doubts. Beleara used her ultimate ability. Nefelu was killed by our old friend Bryce. Was she... Fenaram?

at the Nuremberg trials, they gave a 20-year sentence

A clue. Man seems to have hit a natural defense limit, possibly thanks to Beleara. It's a shame that Bryce doesn't get the same benefit... I won't waste any more time, I'm going to execute Yashur.

They lost the "proverka."

Hmm, how should I put it, I doubt it. No one sent "proverka" on any missions, judging by the description. And Nefela definitely didn't act like a "proverka."

So, you’re saying, Ment, that Yashur deserves to be executed?

I don't execute those who don't deserve it. Okay, okay, sometimes I do, but this time I'm absolutely certain there's no room for error; it's long overdue to give Yashur a little nudge...

No one sent Proverka anywhere on any missions, judging by the description.

A raid is a mission. At the same time, the line about:

a young life, by the standards of her race

clearly hints at an elven origin. And we only have two elves in our setting, one of whom has automatic self-resurrection.

Added after 47 seconds
We execute Yashur.

Fenara is also an elf, and the Academy sent her on an internship. And the reason for the inspection is unknown...
