In that case, King Guts has his first soldier.

Let me guess...

The staff just looks to be a dried plant, that Sylph has revived and draped out the window. The bones looked to be those a wolf, resembling the creature they just fought. The bones are too mangled and bloody to be of any helpfulness. The skull doesn't respond, motionless. Whatever enchantment Vaughn on it must have lifted with his death. There doesn't seem to be anything else.

Atramor continues his healing assault on the Head Guard. We're kind of just doing the same thing at this point. I'm okay with autorolling (unless Atramor goes below 100 health) for a while, if everyone else is.

After taking a look at Day One, I'm comfortable to Vote: Male Lover (LegoDad). He was as fluffy as my pet dust bunny yesterday - - being apparently unable to raise any suspicions that weren't based around inactivity, and made a lukewarm defense about it today. I've still got my eye on you, though, Witch.

You can still wear them without Meditate, they just won't do anything.

The skeleton swings slightly as Pretzel pokes it. Inside the barrel Pretzel finds a small, dusty bottle. Tonic - Restores 5 ether to the target. And in the chest is just an assortment of severed human limbs and a variation of organs, all kept quite warm in a solution of blood and other bodily fluids. Nessa at first only found dusty bones and some plants that Sylph's Roots of Life had restored, but after a moment of digging around underneath the table, she found a pair of delightfully soft shoes. Soothing Slippers - (Suitable for ether uses, Meditate restores 5 ether, footwear). Party leader, how will the loot be divided?

Sorry Pala. I'd rather not wait for everyone else to do nothing, and it could be over a lot quicker anyway if everyone attacked it like they already are. Round Six of 'Undead on Ice' >Pretzel vs. Helhound (Flying Cross) - Shield: Guardian Angel (Everyone protected from damage and negative effects next round) Erik gives Soryx Twin Axe Dreyrugr vs Helhound (Fauxthril Scythe) - Damage (23 - 9 = 14 damage) >Nessa vs. Helhound (Merrybow) - Aim (8 damage, +1 gold) >Sylph vs Helhound (Shrapnel Bow) - Damage (23/2 - 3 = 9 damage) Soryx takes Erik's Twin Axe Erik tosses Soryx his Twin Axe. The Helhound is determined to fight to its last breath, biting a chunk out of both Dreyrugr's long-dead flesh and Sylph's....unknown flesh. Nessa's arrow skims the beast.

The monk-paladin flies in on his cross, ramming the point right into the beast's side. It stumbles out of the way of Erik's strike, and Dreyrugr jumps out of the way as it heads for Nessa - but the ranger, sick of its icy teeth, nails it right in the eye. The other is punctured by Sylph's arrow of scrap metal, and the creature dissipates into a chillingly cold mist. THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! Everyone gains half of a level, except for Sylph, who gains a third. The enemies drop...nothing. You're gonna have to take that up with Dreyrugr.

Soryx turns to leave, but pauses at the door. "Also....I think I can recall the blue figure now. He was a strange one, certainly, but I can remember - he came in with the Selkreeth. If you wish to speak with me more, I will be in the bar. I must have a chat with the bartender about this business." With that, he returns downstairs. The heroes can now explore the room at their leisure, with its sole occupant dead.

I knew it!!

And changed factions. Twice.

And this is Boomingham after losing an eye and going Cannoneer.

I should be healing for 27 points, and I think you forgot the Wizard's free hit. Atramor didn't stop, continuing charging all his healing energy towards the Head Guard from the back row.

Dreyrugr's hiding pays off, as he's able to sneak around Vaughn and deliver a devastating stab, as well as steal his things. Soryx takes advantage of the opening, jumping onto the Helhound's head, leaping into the air, and taking Vaughn to the ground with his sword in the necromancer's neck. The Helhound releases Nessa, and Sylph sees it as a good time to heal the party, restoring life to the formerly dead, dried up-plants in the room. Enemies Helhound Yelp.

Atramor reeled as Ellaria's spell hit him. The world teetered on its side. But even the sudden vertigo couldn't keep him down. He felt invincible. The witch didn't bother talking. He ignored Johnny's fruitless swing at him, reflected the wizard's surge of magic right back at him, and slung a healing spell at the Head Guard from the back row, through the now-glowing orange spiral at the end of the Pheles Rod.

You have Guardian Angel up, so I'll run this one.

Pretzel sits down and stares at it meditates. Nessa unleashes a barrage of arrows on their opponents, and Sylph follows suit with one of his own. Dreyrugr and Soryx team up on Vaughn.

Four Series 10 figs. Medusa was the one I was going for, and I wasn't disappointed. Also found the Mohawk native, who's pretty awesome, as well as the Sea Captain, and the Revolutionary.

Just two hours between rounds? I picked a good party. Round Two of 'Undead on Ice' >Pretzel vs. Helhound (Flying Cross) - Shield: Guardian Angel (Party protected from damage and negative effects next round) Erik vs. Heckpup (Titanic Axe) - Extra Critical Hit (52 x 2 = 104 damage, no petrify) Dreyrugr uses Net on Vaugn (Voltedge) - Success (Vaughn no longer hastened) Soryx vs. Vaughn (Vanquisher) - Damage (16 - 6 = 10 damage, -1 ether) >Sylph-Heal Nessa (Shrapnel Bow) - Failure (No effect) >Nessa vs. Vaughn (Merrybow) - Hit (20 damage, +1 gold) Vaughn is poisoned (-1 health) Pretzel raises his cross a high, a flash of white light appearing in the room as he summons, for the first time, his Guardian Angel to protect his party. Inspired by its appearance, Erik delivers a devastating blow to the Helhound. Dreyrugr tosses his net at Vaughn, entangling him, and leaving his defenses open to receive an arrow to the shoulder from Nessa. Sylph is blinded by Pretzel's angel, and his blast of druidic healing goes wide. Vaughn flings a wickedly fast snowball at Soryx, who stumbles back, but he's still struggling in the net.

I know, and I found that pretty off too. I'm just surprised you would so readily vote for him over it when there were other suspects on the table. I didn't totally ignore it, do you think I would actually place a vote without at least skimming the topic? I just didn't examine every single post. I knew they were the main lynches, I just didn't feel comfortable having so little information to vote one of them on. I didn't follow the case closely, but I had a general idea of what was going on, and I didn't think it was as suspicious as everyone else did. If the SK hadn't been a little suspicious, he wouldn't've been lynched. I'm not implying that I found him suspicious, if that's what you're thinking. I know, but it's so utterly pointless that it just seems like fluff. We can't ignore cases just because it's typical for Day One. The second part is far from true. The post where you examined the Doctor's behavior was a perfect time to vote. I can agree with that. It doesn't mean we can just do nothing when the time comes to vote. At least when we lynch a townie, there's a lot of behavior around it we can examine rather than all of us standing around doing nothing. I don't like lynching townies either, but the vote is our only tool. I can see that. But that's all you did. Maybe it was too late on to do anything else about it, but pointing out something wrong with someone's behavior and just leaving it there doesn't help much. I can think of plenty of reasons. Distancing yourself from those who lynched a townie, keeping your nose clean when townies go back to examine the bandwagons, splitting up the scum votes...hell, people are right to suspect me based on that, that's just what I did in Harriet Slutter, though now it's for other reasons. Man, can I call 'em or what?? But I'd like to hear more on what that's about.

I can't figure out why he thought his best bet was to metagame the vote yesterday - maybe just for lack of a better suspect - and he spent the better part of that day screwing around. But he did go and make the whole voting spreadsheet thing today. He seems eager to help but can't find a way to do so so early on. That would be a townread, but seeing as how I can't recall him being scum at any point recently....

Guffington and Wren seem related in flavor, but I don't see how Russel fits in.

Round One of 'Undead on Ice' Pretzel vs. Vaugn (Cross of Light) - Hit (26 x 2/2 = 26 damage) >Sylph-Frail Heckpup (Scroll) - Success (Helhound is Fragile, -1 ether) Erik vs. Heckpup (Titanic Axe) - Hit (30 x 2 = 60 damage, no petrify) >Nessa vs. Heckpup (Merrybow) - Damage (23/2 - 2 = 10 damage) Dreyrugr vs. Vaugn (Voltedge) - Hit (29/2 = 15 damage, Vaughn poisoned) Soryx vs. Vaugn (Vanquisher) - Hit (25 x 2/2 = 25 damage) Vaughn uses free hit on Pretzel - (16 - 12 = 4 damage, -1 ether) Vaughn is poisoned (-1 health) The party gets off to a decent start. Pretzel leads the assault on Vaughn, cross held high, ready to compel the necromancer with the power of Christ. He's followed close by Dreyrugr and Soryx, and the trio land fine hits, though Vaughn keeps his distance atop of the Helhound, who's busy burying its icy teeth into Nessa's arm. Erik slams his axe into the frosty creature, forcing it let go, the power of the strike doubled by Sylph's expertly-read scroll. Enemies Vaughn "Gaah! Insipid old fool!"

Well, you told us that before the loot could be divided the skeleton showed up, I assumed you would tell us when to divy it all up, Zepher... Atramor nodded, tearing off the Amulet of the Court and instead holding the Magic Mirror from the back row. "I've got plenty of tonics if ya' start runnin' low on ether, I know how the damn scroll eats the stuff up."

One Pill from the ZubZub Galaxy. Scummy if I don't help the vote, scummy if you do help the vote...I've already explained mine. Anyway....I've found someone I believe to be reasonably suspicious. Fakevote: The Witch (Waterbrick Down). Sorry Mr. Blacked Out Guy, but if I had a log for every time I heard this statement, I could build myself a cabin. He makes a point about how we've had somebody accused for each usual Day One reason, then happily adds another to the list. Constructive. I'm concerned how much he acts like these cases are too frivolous to be taken seriously, when usually it's where the Day One lynch starts out. I guess that works into how he never voted. His first point here has merit...he's willing to bet the SK is town and isn't afraid to say it. He's either being pretty blatantly and dangerously sincere (this is an easy thing to get lynched for early on), or he knows the SK is town because he's scum and he'll cash in when he's lynched. He's accusing PirateDave here, in case it's not clear. Well, 'accusing' is a pretty strong word. He's making reasonable observations about how useless all this is to the town, and then doesn't pursue them or mention them today, which, well, casual observations don't get us anywhere, you say here yourself in-depth analysis does. You sound like you think he's suspicious, why not analyze it some more? Trying to look helpful so that you can fall back on him as a suspect when somebody wonders why you didn't vote? Now he says he'll do some analysis on the votes, but the Doctor got there first. He also implies that the scum were probably quick to jump on the bandwagons, which is a good point for someone to make when you didn't vote at all.

Don't forget, you also control Soryx's actions, Myrddyn.
