"The green one is right," the man confirms. "It comes from the Den's family house. It's a death sentence if you're caught." "That sounds pretty smart," Charlie replies, thinking on those words.

As long as it is not Galidor, I think we're fine.

"Perfect!" she exclaims as she hands each two Golden Lotus Flower (heals to full health upon consumption). "Now keep in mind here fellas we're not liable for any side-effects this may cause. Nausea, abdominal bleeding, sudden death, blindness, curses, afraid, or what have you." The man leans in. "We'd appreciate it if you kept these here a little hush-hush, tellin' only, y'know, non-guards. The people who own these flowers pretty have have the town watch in their pockets." "I don't know anyone by the name Wilfred. What an odd name." "I had an old flame who was with a man named Wilfred. Nowhere near as good as me." "You never talk about your former mistresses." "And I'm not startin' now. So, this Wilfred. Why you looking for him? He wrong you? Owe you some money?" "Whoa!" Charlie stares in awe at Petaldan and the others. "You guys are real Heroes? Are the stories true? You don't get scared of anything and nothing can kill you?" "Probably shouldn't tell you, but what the Hel?" the dog replies. "Some people from Eubric. That's all I can say on the matter."

"You don't get bit?" The dog shoots back, seemingly confused. "Now, I gotta say you seem like a nice person, but keep in mind I'm on a job. I'm waiting for five people."

Oh come on, you could always just die night 1

"They heal you of course. Magic restorative powers, straight from Tridentia, a magical far off land." The lady says. "Couple of my people, foreigners. Of course, I hope you don't go telling people that. I'm actually here to fetch some people." The dog replies. "25 gold a flower, bud. 40 for two of 'em. These here are rare and difficult to get." The man informs Vindsval.

"I'm actually in the spying business." The dog seems to puff out it's chest at that. "Nobody ever suspects a canine. You get to go where you like, and usually you get some good food. It's way better than guard duty." "Yeah, I'm waiting for ship to take me to Eubric. My dad said it's time for me to go out and explore the world." He leans in closer, as if to tell Petaldan a secret. "I'm going to go to Heroica and try to join the Heroes. I hear they're super cool. Like get the coolest weapons, armor. They get to go on all these cool quests and help people." "Oi, you the guardsmen?" the man asked. "Eh, you don't look like the normal ones. You undercover?" "Oh shut your trap, Bernard," the woman snaps. "Even if they are, I'm sure undercover guards need these special healing flowers. You have some ladies you fancy? I'm sure they'd love these. Your feet aching after walking all day? Just use these flowers." "Yeah, you lads interested?"

"Thank you for that," Kiray replies as she gets back up. Kiray repeats.

"Yeah, except for all this fur, you know?" the dog replies. "Just too many people come up to me trying to pet me or run me off. I'm here on business, despite my looks." "I haven't seen any other people around, sir, besides those two back there." Charlie points to the man and woman on the other side of the docks. "They've been here quite awhile. I think the woman is trying to sell flowers. The man, who knows. He looks like a scoundrel if you want my opinion."

Hey, look some old faces! Glad to see you guys want in.

"Oh him? He's not mine. He's been sitting here awhile," the boy replies. "I'm Charlie." The dog takes a keen interest in Petaldan, and starts wagging his tail enthusiastically. The dog barks at Ezeran, seeming to nod at the symbiont on the Sorceror.

Definitely.

Oh man these battles are going to be fun to balance.

The chosen Heroes all stepped off their respective boats in the docks at Carthago. The city's hot sun beat down on the Heroes. Some locals looked in awe at the newcomers. Others, having dealt with Heroes before, seemed to pay no heed. Only the guards truly watched closely. The chosen met on the largest pier and looked back into the city. Before they sailed off, they each receieved a letter saying their man Wilfred was around this very pier. All they had to do now was find him.

I'm really excited for you guys to take part of the final part of the Tridentia arc. Have fun!

Lights, Camera, Action! Time is money in the film biz, and it's mafia time. Your lovely hosts Darkdragon and I are looking for 16-21 players, but it's adjustable depending on the sign-ups. So come on in, and audition answer these questions. 1) Have you ever played Mafia before, and what's your experience? If not, have you read some of the games we've had on here? 2) Can you commit to the game timewise? 3) If you could be part of the glitz and glamour (and ugly side) of these things called motion pictures, what would you want to be? The sign-up thread will run until we hit the bare minimum at least. An important note, the game is being cohosted by our fantastic @Darkdragon and I, with the stunning pictures coming from her. For your convenience, the rules have been attached below, so everyone knows what they're getting into. The Rules Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the ABS (Town) or the Burpamount (Scum). To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum/Evil characters, while the Scum must outnumber the Town. Any Third-Party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. A game day will last until majority vote is reached up to a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. After the day has concluded, a night phase will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night phase. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game hosts. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. You may not quote PMs from other players. Quoting PMs from other players will result in a same-day 3-vote penalty against you for each incident. Do not play the game outside the day-thread and PMs. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread; you must always play the role given to you.
