"...aye, sure," replied Atramor, with an uncertain glance at Nur. He flipped through his card deck and attempted to summon Pegasus (Luminous 8) from the back row.

Miderun looks sideways and nods at Na'im. She and the Fenarian attack the ghostly figures, outright ignoring Mhinak at this point.

Atramor will probably be voting Jun leader. Here's hoping Umbra doesn't recognize him.

I haven't set foot in that toilet and I don't intend to. What does Vasquez have to do with anything?

If someone could submit an action for Calamity I'll run the round. Kint, Annie can't use an item and attack in the same round.

There has to be something else we can go off of. Did the block notice the complete lack of any kill last night?? Who was blocked? Is it possible Night Two had a one-shot kill or something instead of an SK? Maybe 4 of 2 thought Clem inherited tracker and didn't want to risk killing? Did you question why your investigator didn't bother verifying any of the endlessly more suspicious people that are now INSIDE the town block??? Paul is still alive!!! How?! I stopped suspecting him because I assumed he would be investigated after his claim! :facepalm: Why the hell are he and 4 of 2 getting a pass?? Why did I have any faith in this block??

Oh, fuck me, you're right. God help me I voted for a townie. Crime of the century. I'm entirely uncertain as to how to proceed here. Part of me wants to give up because I know that investigation results are about the most damning evidence you could find, but on the other hand I have pretty much no doubt this is lynch or lose so not even my post-mortem advice is going to be of any use.

Can you? I got us back on track on Day Two by starting off the vote on Claw after we spent the entire freaking time dismantling Clem's claim. He turned up town but at least we didn't end up with a no-lynch. Beyond that, nothing in particular. I don't have a night action so I voice my suspicions whenever I can. Yeah, I don't think it seems likely either. I think we determined the odds of a framer were low anyway. Well, this is going to be a fun day. Defend myself in every direction, get lynched anyway, flawless victory for the scum.

Was I? Gross... I still don't think there's a framer. The chances of this investigator being scum seem more likely, of the two. Not that it seems to matter, we're probably at lynch or lose here anyway, and, well. I guess we're going for lose. Oh, I'm sure. If you have suspicions there's never any reason to hold them back.

What solid defense do you expect? I told Minga I was vanilla when she asked. I can't pull a night action out of my ass to counter an investigation result. All I can give you are my best guesses why I'm being investigated as scum.

This is the most ineffective town block I've ever seen. I don't know whether to congratulate the scum or just sigh over what we could've been. I figured there weren't enough scum here to have a framer, but evidently I've been mistaken. That, or the investigator is willing to falsify results to get one more townie death to win the game. They can't be far off now.

This is going to become the pirate court of At World's End, everyone just voting for themselves.

Each weapon does its own thing.

Unless 4 of 2 is the scum killer I can't think of any reason they'd stay home. Or, hell, maybe the protector got SUPER lucky?

Possibly? Isn't it worth that risk so that we can know who the scum killer/SK is so we can lynch them?

Then whoever we blocked is almost surely scum or the SK. I mean, there wouldn't be any actual reason for the SK not to kill, right?

I'm genuinely amazed we're all still alive. I really hope the town block came up with something. They had to have, right? We apparently managed to prevent the scumkill, possibly the SK's too?

Surely a minority at this point.

Right, I thought she was standing in the back row...fixed.

Round of Genie out of a Bottle Annienal vs. Barrier (Cutlass) - Shield: Spellblade Spin (Seven hits, two to Barrier, KO'd, five to Mayrene = 175 damage to Mayrene) Annienal vs. Barrier Mayrene (Cutlass) - Enchantment (-8 ether, +1 SP) >Mortimer vs. Mayrene (Tritech) - Aim (22 damage) >Mortimer vs. Mayrene (Tritech) - Special Damage: Three Wishes (Mayrene encouraged, hastened, and nimble, -3 ether) >Avina vs. Mayrene (Zeta and Sigma) - Damage (37x2/2 = 37 damage, Avina KO'd) >Avina vs. Mayrene (Zeta and Sigma) >Keliim vs. Mayrene (Axe) - Shield: Frenzy (32/2x2 = 32 damage, no avoid) >Keliim vs. Mayrene (Axe) - Hit (Damage avoided) >Calamity vs. Mayrene (Darkness) - Damage (20x2/2 = 20 damage, Calamity KO'd) >Calamity vs. Mayrene (Darkness) Mayrene vs. Annienal - (42x2 - 13 = 69 damage, KO'd) Mayrene summons Barrier - (-3 ether) The round starts off well. Annienal blitzes both enemies with her cutlass, tearing through the barrier, and then pours some ether into her shield. Mortimer and Kellim dish out some hits, but Mayrene imbues herself with a variety of effects and knocks out Calamity and Avina with ease, then nearly does the same to Annienal, her arm forming a huge, cloudy hammer as she swings. She then puts up a second barrier around herself - hitting her's going to be difficult this round, but she's burning through her ether stores rapidly.

Miderun stares up at the enormous dragon, her eyes lighting up and her bandaged arm tensing slightly as if on reflex. But this creature was no wild animal...supposedly. "Fine, we will attack these uzard creatures. It had better not take us long..."

Sorry once more, got sidetracked near the end of yesterday. The party scrambles to figure out which sample rolls will do the best job of busting the barrier. Eventually everyone determines that rolls 1, 9, and 3 have the best shot of it. Avina takes the rolls and cuts the blank pieces away very carefully, layering the sheets on top of the eachother. "Let's hope this doesn't blow up in our faces. Immediately, anyway." She loads the abomination of a music rolls into the intact Vibrataphone and cranks it up. Apparently even the device has been modified, because no sound it makes is even akin to music. It's a rough, static-y white noise for a while, get slowly louder and higher in pitch. Avina clamps one hand over one ear as she continues to crank the machine, the noise becoming mind-numbing and almost unbearable to everyone in the room. The party can't hear it, but they can see the 'Lamp Containment Unit' in the corner begin to rattle with a slight tick. The sound reaches it peak, and finally, the containment unit's glass casing cracks, a bit of smoke spilling out of it. The ether core mounted in the device in the middle of the room dims, and the ethereal barrier flickers slightly before going out. Everyone gains experience! Chalvo straightens up with a start, looking as though he has a terrible headache from the sound. "...O-Oh dear. I didn't-" "GAAAAH!!!!" A thick bluish smoke had filled the containment unit and was now steadily seeping out through the crack and reforming into a vaguely physical form of a djinn. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YOUR PROBLEM, FIRST YOU LOCK ME IN THAT THING, NOW I CAN'T EVEN HEAR THE SOUND OF MY OWN VOICE???" "....WHAT?" "WHAT? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? CAN YOU HEAR A WORD I'M SAYING??" The djinn glared at the party with surprising intensity. "FINE, FORGET THIS, I'M GETTING OUT, AND NONE OF YOU ARE STOPPING ME!!" PREPARE FOR BATTLE!
