[Forum Game] Assassins: Murder in Masahakon

[Velax]

Day 3 and Night 3

Zakilevo (4 votes) - Barek (166), Lefanis (173), Penchant (182), Ross (207)
Lefanis (2 votes) - Cren (217), Indirik (219)

The arguments continued, but many of the Diplomats seemed more focused now, sure of who the murderers amongst them must be. That evening four Diplomats and several guards entered Zakilevo's tent. When he saw the group enter, he knew why they were there. Drawing a hidden dagger from his coat, he darted forward and slashed at one of the guards, slicing him across the throat. The guard went down, clutching at his neck as his blood poured forth. Zakilevo turned to attack another guard but the third thrust his spear, catching Zakilevo in the back. He crashed to the ground and the two remaining guards thrust at him again and again as he thrashed, until he finally lay quiet. Dead.

Searching him, the Diplomats find a letter from a Kindaran noble hiring Zakilevo to murder the Diplomats and disrupt the peace talks.

Zakilevo the Assassin was killed as he fought to escape.


That night, a Diplomat sat on the ground in his tent before a low table, staring at a circular object - a crystal ball. The smell of incense and herbs filled the room. The ball was full of swirling colours and shapes. As he watched, the shapes resolved themselves into the face of one of the retinue. Before the Diplomat could make out who it was, an arm slide across his neck and a knife plunged into his heart.

"Didn't see that coming, did you, Sage?" the Assassin whispered into his ear as his victim died.

Lefanis the Sage was murdered.

Vote Indirik

[Indirik]

Well, crap. They got the sage.

It's all your fault, Ross.

[Barek (jerm)]

Well, crap. They got the sage.

It's all your fault, Ross.

baahahahahahah!  +10 points for Indirik for hilarity!

[Lefanis]

Ghost- I hope you can trust me fully now, Ross 

[Indirik]

I think the meta comments are a bit too on-topic for the game.

[Cren]

Go Go Go Diplomats, here's our chance. VOTE ROSS, he lied a lot.

[Indirik]

It doesn't matter, Cren. The assassins have sacrificed one of their own to guarantee a win.

But even so, they won't take me down without a fight!

I VOTE ROSS! He sold us out for cookies, and betrayed the identity of the Sage to the assassins.

[Cren]

1 dead, two to go. So who are they? Is it you, Indirik, always finding others faults, never mentioning your own? Or is it you Penchant, silent but secure? Maybe it is you Ross, who lied a lot? Or Barek?

3 innocent diplomats vs 2 assassins. Indirik and Ross, you are the two assassins left.

[Barek (jerm)]

You two are wily assassins, I'll give you that much!

[Cren]

UNVOTE ROSS

Indirik and Ross, only one of you is an assassin. Lets see who is the other one, Barek or Penchant.

[Indirik]

My faults?! What faults have I? That picked Slapsticks to go first? He wanted it, and it didn't matter because I lost that vote so he didn't die at my hand. That I voted for you? Maybe that was a mistake, but you seem to vote as randomly as Fury. Lefanis? That was an effort to get Ross to not vote along with Barek. (Damned assassin-baked cookies!) My vote against Ross? That made perfect sense at the time, as he was obviously lying about being the Sage.

But all in all, none of my votes for lynching have been followed. We've followed Barek's lead into lynching two out of three innocents.

[Cren]

I hope you all remember that Penchant said he was with Zakilevo in a private party, on the day of first murder. It means something, doesn't it?

[Barek (jerm)]

Penchant was scanned by the Sage, I believe.

[Cren]

Nobody is going to believe what others believe. People want proof!
