NIGHTFALL!

[oblivion]

Bolero struggles in the grip of the Guardsmen as the leronis enters the hall with the telepathic damper. Then she grows still. You are struck by her disheveled beauty. "You are hurting me", her voice is a husky whisper that carries to every corner of the room, somehow. The Guardsmen loosen their grip on her arms.

"I don't understand why you are doing this to me. You've known me for years. I've never harmed any of you.'

It is true, you think. You have known Bolero since...when? A long time? She seems a fixture of Armida, always nearby. Always...

No! You struggle against the glamour. You had never seen Bolero prior to the beginning of this nightmare. You stride past the leronis, who is holding the telepathic damper limply, her face blank. As are the faces of everyone who is within your gaze. You keep walking. Each step is more of a struggle than the last. And as you approach Bolero, her eyes are wide and her smile inviting.

You shake your head as you draw your blade and sink it into her heart.

Her smile turns to surprise an instant before the illusion shatters and the cat-hag hits the floor in a heap.

Bolero was a cat-hag and was the scum role-blocker.

DennyB is your mayor.

[oblivion]

You wake up and join the gathering in the Great Hall. It has been a while since you've seen smiles on your companions' faces, but there is something to smile about today.

and those loyal guardsmen who gave their lives to get you here and protect you.

DennyB is your mayor.

[charlou]

hmmm ... CookieJon, what do you have for us?

[def]

That was an interesting night.

First off, I'd like to apologize for my, what's the word, maybe, petulant behavior in the past couple of days. I was a bit frustrated that I couldn't play like I'm used to, but you all have been doing a great job on the last three lynches, so obviously your strategy and style works for you. So, that's my job to work with your play style, and not vice versa. Sorry for any bad vibes there.

I tried to use my night action last night, but got telepathic interruption or something. The scum blocker was taken out, so I'll assume that was Cookie... I wasn't necessarily blocked though. I don't know how cryptic the information is.

[charlou]

Feck, what do you have?

No worries.


You're making a soft claim, def? So what have you been up to the past four nights?

[CookieJon]

hmmm ... CookieJon, what do you have for us?

Oh dear... either they forgot to assassinate someone (!) Or I blocked the killer.

I'll tell you soon, but let's not repeat yesterday's mistake... I wanna hear what Feck has to report first.

Is it possible there are (or were!) 3 role blockers? Doesn't sound likely to me, but I'm not familiar with Ob's games, so I suppose anything goes.

[def]

It's fair to come out 100% with my role now. I'm the protector. Night one and two I protected Ksen (my rules were adjusted after that to not protect the same person two nights in a row). I protected Feck on three, and Denny last night.

I was going to protect Zigman on night three, but figured the scum would hit an ability player over simply an innocent one. But the regent/mayor was taken out two nights in a row, so I selected Denny.

Maybe I was successful last night. I won't know until Cookie confirms.

[CookieJon]

Def, what did the message you received actually say? Perhaps that will help someone who's familiar with this style of game to know exactly what happened to you.

Hmm. Officially, I suffered the effects of a telepathic damper. I slept like the dead and woke up with a dull stuffy head.

Let's see who claims it.
