Evil Villains Werewolf

[Lord Athos]

Ah, well. Follow the leader time, then. Caiohminthe Cape

[Unavenger]

Yeah, this is the hero I'm sure about. CaomhinTheCape.

[Elenna]

Leaving my vote where it is because apparently we're splitting the vote or something?

EDIT: Nevermind. CaoimhinTheCape

[Grand Arbiter]

A pack of wolves, led by an alpha dulled to the presence of the coyote in the pack.


If you do not believe me, then allow me to make it make it simple...
*puts hands into ends of opposite sleeves, pulls out a rolled parchment and a gilded pen*
As a Devil you should be familiar with summoning pacts; here is the contract for the release of mine. Have your flock sign where needed and cast it into the brazier I shall go prepare in our leader’s throne room.
*places pen & paper on the table*
I would rather see the liar upon the gallows, but if this is what it takes to clear your sight, so shall it be.

If you all don’t believe I’m the Loyal Deputy, put your money where your mouth is and lynch me. My vote counts 2x, so shouldn’t be too hard to take me off the board.

If nothing else, you’ll know who to lynch tomorrow, assuming town can survive the night.

[Valmark]

Honestly, trying to get yourself lynched at this point in the game is anti-Town if you are indeed a villain.

Sure as hell it sounds like a major bad idea to listen to that >.>

[Xihirli]

CaomhinTheCape then.

Man, I'm never gonna get a chance to kill the Loyal Deputy. Now I'm sad.

[Unavenger]

CaomhinTheCape then.

Man, I'm never gonna get a chance to kill the Loyal Deputy. Now I'm sad.

Oh, it's you who's trying to murder me? I thought it was a neutral of some kind.

(I just guessed it was a neutral because of the Avenger being neutral, natch.)

[Xihirli]

Nah, I'm town. It's just that as a child I shot the sheriff, but I should have shot the deputy.
And it's been my life's goal to rectify that mistake.

[Valmark]

Nah, I'm town. It's just that as a child I shot the sheriff, but I should have shot the deputy.

*Claps loudly*

[Grand Arbiter]

CaomhinTheCape then.

Man, I'm never gonna get a chance to kill the Loyal Deputy. Now I'm sad.

I was wondering which of my fellows had the dagger for my back. 'Tis a relief that the blade lay in thine capricious hands.

Oh, it's you who's trying to murder me? I thought it was a neutral of some kind.

(I just guessed it was a neutral because of the Avenger being neutral, natch.)

Fie! So it is you who flies the false flag.

Expecting another neutral party to bear ill will is but a further sign of your lies; for it defies the one concept that transcends heroism and villainy: narrative convention. Our world, more than being one of law vs chaos and good vs evil, is that of stories.
___A cold-blooded killer should expect a family member to arise for vengeance unless they are wiped out to the last, as the case of kgato's killer, for it is a tale that has been told in countless ways across the aeons. Hero or anti-hero, they will find their retribution.
___In a similar manner, the leader of a villainous organization should expect opposition to arise not only from the heroes but from within their organization. Some, such as myself, are ever willing to serve. Others seek personal power or vengeance with the prerequisite of a coup.
___Furthermore, to expect a second neutral party with a vendetta is ludicrous. The fates are not shoddy talespinners and would not compose dull repetition.

seriously, comic plots 101 to expect another villain to have it out for me.

[Grand Arbiter]

I had returned for the brazier is prepared, but it seems there must yet be faith in me as the parchment is unmarred.

As such, I shall have faith in return. CaomhinTheCape, how do you plead?

And here I thought it was because nobody would trust someone asking for a supposed Town Lynch at day 4 instead of the *probable* Seer.

CaoimhinTheCape 8 (MornShine, gac3, Lord Athos, Unavenger, Elenna, Xihirli, Libro, Valmark)

Things have changed today. Some people seem to know what's going on, and far fewer people are suspected of being heroes. Those that are grow increasingly desperate, even revealing their deepest secrets in the attempt to save themselves. One person even advocates for their own death to clear themselves.

After a while, a consensus begins to emerge that the person claiming to be a wild card, prepared to aid either side, is in actual fact one of the heroes. Accordingly, you proceed in lynching them and are delighted to find that you've caught the person responsible for putting the claimed devil to sleep each night.

The only problem, of course, is that said claimed devil is probably going to die tonight.

CaoimhinTheCape was lynched. They were the Ally.

Spoiler: CaoimhinTheCape's role PM

Show

CaoimhinTheCape, you are the Ally: You're well-stocked with sleeping potions, and your preparedness will finally be useful. Each night, you may select a player. That player is unable to use any action that night.

Begin Night Four. I'm going to be busy IRL again on Wednesday (stupid changeable schedule...), but if everyone gets their actions in on time and no-one disagrees I can end night tomorrow at the usual time. Otherwise, same as last time: approximately 4pm GMT on Wednesday, possibly Thursday morning at worst.

Also, if trtl doesn't post by the end of day five he will be auto-lynched.

End Night Four

The Devil has predicted this moment for a long time. He's always known this would be how it would end, but he's certain the villains will still be triumphant. "Fools," he spits at the two figures who no doubt thought they were being stealthy in the shadows outside his room. "You think you can defeat us? We know who you are and shall root out your light. You have accomplished nothing but sealing your own fate." He opens his arms and welcomes the attacks of the heroes, confident in the victory he has forseen.

You wake up to find the one who has been leading you dead, taking his secrets and suspicions to the grave. Time is running out for both sides as this deadly game draws towards its conclusion...

gac3 was killed. They were the Devil.

Spoiler: gac3's role PM

Show

gac3, you are the Devil. You win with the villains (town) when the heroes (wolves) are dead. Your second sight is unparalleled, and you can use it to work out who is who, tracking down the heroes hiding amongst you... and the fool who thinks he can match your power.

Each night, you may select one player. You will be told their alignment (town, wolf or neutral) when the night ends.

[redacted]

Good luck and have fun!

Begin Day Five, which will end at the usual time: 2pm GMT on Friday.

[Valmark]

Well, we knew that was gonna happen. So... Who's next? MornShine?

[Xihirli]

Gac3 was actually in touch with me last night and he wanted to take a calculated risk going after Unavenger. His claim isn't holding up quite as well as the others, and since that claim is the Deputy I need to kill I'm inclined to take the risk.

[Valmark]

Sure, Unavenger.

[Unavenger]

Yes, yes, we have ascertained that you're trying to kill me, Xihirli, and are therefore willing to make stuff up about how Gac defo told you to. Can we please kill the actual wolves first at least? I'll take Libro for $200, please, Alex.

[Elenna]

If I'm understanding gac's post correctly, either Mornshine is a wolf or I am, and I know I'm not a wolf. Whereas from my perspective, the Unavenger-Libro thing is a 50-50. So I'll be voting there until a trusted townie posts in my chat with gac to tell me otherwise.

[Unavenger]

If I'm understanding gac's post correctly, either Mornshine is a wolf or I am, and I know I'm not a wolf. Whereas from my perspective, the Unavenger-Libro thing is a 50-50. So I'll be voting there until a trusted townie posts in my chat with gac to tell me otherwise.

I mean, a trusted townie has already told you that I'm not a wolf, and we're being told to believe - by the person who wants me dead - that the same trusted townie just totally 180'd right before they died, and conveniently chose to tell Xihirli - the person who wants me dead - and no-one else.

[Valmark]

I really love not having any stake in this you know? It's actually really fun.

[Xihirli]

Yes, yes, we have ascertained that you're trying to kill me, Xihirli, and are therefore willing to make stuff up about how Gac defo told you to. Can we please kill the actual wolves first at least? I'll take Libro for $200, please, Alex.

First? Will you let me kill you if I help kill one more wolf?

[Valmark]

First? Will you let me kill you if I help kill one more wolf?

He said actual wolves, so it's really a bluff.

[Lord Athos]

Okay everybody, so we have a slight problem here.

First things first, Xihirli is right, Gac told her we should kill Unavenger. However, that was more of a gut feeling of his, and more in the sense of "if Unavenger flips town, we know to kill Libro".

However, he told me we should lynch someone else as well, and that's Elenna.
I'm the fool. He was testing Elenna last night, and she failed. He told me to scry Mornshine, which I did. If I'd get a result, we should lynch Mornshine. No matter what it is. If I didn't, then we should lynch Elenna. Now guess what, I didn't get a result.

So I say we should lynch her. Considering Unavenger vs Libro was just a gut feeling, I think we should rather go with what Gac seemed to be sure about.

[Unavenger]

First? Will you let me kill you if I help kill one more wolf?

Well, actually, my wincon is that I have to survive as well as town winning, so no, I won't. But hey, you're welcome to try once we've actually got the wolves?

---

Also PSA: they/them please.

[Xihirli]

Well, it seems I'm leaving my vote where it is. If the wolves feel like bailing out their buddies by killing my mortal enemy... whose name currently escapes me, know that we will not start a lasting alliance.

[Elenna]

Well... IDK. I'm not a wolf, but you knew I was going to say that. I did get a result on Mornshine last night, so maybe someone else interfered with Lord Athos? Maybe the wolves have a one-shot power to someone prevent his scry? I don't actually have an explanation for his lack of result, I just know I'm not a wolf.

[Grand Arbiter]

Can we please kill the actual wolves first at least?

I find myself thinking the same way;
for your reckoning has come this day.

Your mistake to assume my identity
our master’s Loyal Deputy.
As I am no simple, mortal, entity,
but a creature of antiquity.

An unhallow void-born shade
conjured forth by a promise made;
a pact to render my full aid.
Ever-toiling as I was bade
on her plan, meticulously laid
and culmination delayed.

Wretched heroes in our midst
have made efforts to resist,
and yet continue to persist.
But we now know they consist
of Hero and Traitor, a twofold list.
Our full might I now enlist:
namely, I would insist,
vote Unavenger for blacklist.

[Lord Athos]

Okay everybody, that Libro is unwilling to change his vote to Elenna shows me they're a wolf and Unavenger is the real deputy.

Thus, the situation is like this:


Remaining players:
Unavenger
Lord Athos
Valmark
JoyWonderLove
Elenna
Xihirli
Libro
trtl
MornShine

Town:
Unavenger
Lord Athos
Xihirli
Trtl
Mornshine

Neutral:
Valmark
JoyWonderLove

Wolves:
Libro (Traitor)
Elenna (Hero)

Everybody, look at your quicktopics with AV to see I am trustworthy, and then lets lynch Elenna.

[MornShine]

Elenna.

Until further notice, she seems to be the most well-supported and best option. Let's get this train started, everybody.

Oh, and, Elenna? What ability do you claim to have used, to find me in my hidey-hole?
