Posts from Mafia 105. Raid of the Damned

Okay, maybe I was wrong to think that way (clues don't reveal themselves easily. First, it's difficult. Second, I'm lazy. Let's hope the Master isn't Mafia, otherwise we're in trouble.
Also, I thought about something and decided that people are probably right, and we have a 4-2-1 setup, not a 3-3-1. Otherwise, it contradicts some of my assumptions. But let's still hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Guys, remember what I wrote earlier today. Don't mess things up, please.

So, we need to figure out the remaining roles. If I haven't messed anything up, the unrecruitable townspeople left are Mealgar, Taniel, and Beleara. Among the recruitable ones, we have Hardundr, Valentine, and Magzargaz. Also, there's Bryce, who hopefully will join us today. It's quite possible that Hardundr is also a good guy, because otherwise, I don't see much point in the negative role using their ultimate ability, especially with the Mafia. In the worst case, the dwarf is a maniac. The Orc and Valentine are very likely recruited. If my theory about Ruby is correct, Valentine is a maniac, and the Orc is a Fragment. But, on the other hand, based on the night actions, it seems more likely that the Orc is a maniac, and Valentine is the Mafia, because the Mafia would hardly ignore blocking in the third night. And the absence of transformation into a frog in the fourth night can be explained by Ruby using a redirection to a random target.

Whatever you want. =) It's still a holiday, after all. ^3^

Regarding individual characters. Among my peaceful characters, I have Ment (hopefully both), Plesen, and Shaman. For Mafia, I have Nebo and Fragment. For Maniac, I have Neyra.

Things are complicated with the Maniac. In the worst-case scenario, he/she will have 6 carriers after this night. It depends on whether Nebo is currently a carrier or not.

I think that a speedrunner might only need four artifacts. It's not certain, of course, but there's a possibility. However, it's not worth counting on it.

If you were actually investigating clues instead of zealously defending Soma, you would have figured out the correct answer on your own, based on my hints. But as it is, everything is clear about you; you don't need to try anymore. Take a look at the clue about the killer; your team will need to kill him tonight.

The correct answer? And with your help? Checking the pseudo-solution from the person I suspect, and predictably finding flaws in it that he tactfully omitted, is that zealously defending Soma?
No, everything is clear about you. 90% of your posts in this game are aimed at distorting the situation and clouding people's judgment; this is now obvious. Even your recent posts are just nonsense. A recruited killer, seriously? How can I trust you?
I guessed correctly about you at the beginning of the day.

Regarding Nebo: at the beginning of the day, I was ready to execute him, but I don't trust MasteR at all, so I guess it's a peaceful player after all; I have no other explanation for MasteR's actions.

By the way, based on his behavior, I suspect that Ruby was indeed a member of the Mafia.

And I repeat, execute MasteR.

And also, I am in favor of extending the day because, at the moment, the town is happily being led by the nose. :(

Ples, Ment, Shaman, are we closing down?

Alright, let's do it.

Argh. Well, I don't know, further discussion is always helpful, but I'm already exhausted. In short, I'm not against closing it; it's unlikely anything will change in the next 24 hours.

Execute Sky - 4 votes (Master, Mold, Ment, Shaman).
Execute Master - 1 vote (Fragment).
Execute Shaman - 1 vote (Sky).

4 votes are required for execution.

Sky was ready for what would happen. When Mealor came to him, he just laughed and said mockingly: "Well, did it finally dawn on you? Don't worry, I'll be happy to die at your hands, rather than from those damned demons! But be sure, I'll take you with me!"

A duel began between the warriors, spectacular but, alas, short. Sky's axe blows could not inflict enough damage through the leader's strong armor, and he did not have enough strength to maneuver for long. Just one missed powerful shield blow - and Mealor's sword finds its target, piercing Sky's armor through and through.

No one interfered in this duel. No one said a word when it ended. The heroes were simply too exhausted.

The fifth night begins!

In the evening, the raid gathered around the campfire and began to discuss possible courses of action. Unfortunately, they didn't have many options left. "Mealgor... I understand your feelings. But we won't achieve anything if we lose our lives here," Taniel tried to sound as calm and reassuring as possible. "We need to go back. If the demon wanted to kill Anu, he would have done it already. We'll return with reinforcements and bring her back; I promise I won't leave you." The leader only clenched his fists in response: "I can't... This is the biggest failure of my life. Even the destruction of my home village can't compare to this." "It's not your fault," Magzargaz's gruff voice sounded. "Who knew that this damned nun would lose her mind?" The orc spat as he said these words. An awkward silence hung in the air. No one wanted to think about the fact that Marianne and Bryce had betrayed them. Hardundr took out his pipe, lit it, and then said: "I remember the energy of this place. We'll find it, even if they hide it again." Mealgor said nothing and turned his head towards Beleara: "Without you, we definitely won't be able to do anything. What do you say?" The elf sighed heavily: "Let's go back. Yes, there are probably more demonic creatures there now, but even with only six of us, we can break through. We'll get to the place where we were ambushed, and then we'll figure something out. I'm sure we can send at least one of us for help. We have magic, we have strong warriors, we have Hardundr." Mealgor was silent for a moment, then looked at all the survivors: "Does everyone agree?" The dwarf and the orc answered "Yes" in unison, Valentine nodded silently, and Taniel took the leader's hand: "Everything will be alright. We won't let this go. You understand that this is far from a simple clearing of a cultist lair. This requires the intervention of the prefect and, perhaps, even the Inquisition." Mealgor sighed heavily: "Rest, regain your strength. Tomorrow, we break through and go back."

Night Five. The Triumph of Death.

One of the greatest advantages of wielding healing magic is the ability to protect oneself with a blessing. This is a complex spell that requires a lot of effort and cannot be used constantly, but it is still effective. Her body glowed with gold – and after a couple of seconds, she was alive again. And the attacker was nowhere to be found…

Alas, the Shaman was still destined to die. He was killed in the most unremarkable way – stabbed with either a sword or a dagger. This revealed nothing about the attacker's identity, as blades were common. "I saw a similar situation in Rublev's frescoes..." someone said, but he didn't understand how this would help him identify the murderer.

Despite what happened, the Master was awake and full of energy in the morning. Although it took quite a while to wake him up.

Living participants of the raid:
1. Ment
3. Ple-Sen
9. Fragment
10. Neyra Drake
13. MasteR

Fallen heroes:
2. Gur
4. Nefela
5. Zlobny Yashchur
6. Morning
7. Nebo
8. Heroist
11. KindShaman
12. Azuchi

So, we’re going to execute Nera, right?

Hmm, it seems the madman only has 4 creatures today, which is a good thing. We really need to eliminate him right now. If we do that, it will be much easier to win. I would trust the Master's reasoning and execute Nairu Drake.

Execute Neira. I believe the Master.
