Warder Gameshow Week - Welcome to The Black Magic Stories!

[Theodora]

Welcome to an eventful Gameshow week, on behalf of our Warders Guild. It would be time full of misteries and incredible twists, sometimes dark enough as to curl the hair of a 12-yeard-old, so please let us keep our audience 13 +

 

I cannot promise it would be safe for all participants (I can guarantee there would be some deaths at least in our stories) and some black mysteries which could not let you sleep until you figure them out *smirks*

 

I will post a short story and the players together have to figure out what happened but asking primerily Yes/No type of questions and since I am in a good mood I will advise if the point is irrelevant. If it gets too hard, I could give some hints.

 

This has been an original idea of our Brave Beauty Liitha, who mentored me how to play with your twisted imagination , so I will use her example:

 

Situation

"A woman goes into a pub and ask for a glass of water. The guy behind the counter draws out a gun and points it at her. She says thank you for the help and leaves"

 

Solution

"She had the hickups and wanted to try with a glass of water, the bartender understood the problem and tried to scare away the hickups. It worked"

 

Current Winners:

 

Cindy - 9 points

RTE - 8 points

Kwom -3 points

Aida - 2 points

Mish - 1 point

Lea - 1 point

Kaylee - 1 point

Panchi- 1 point

Cloud - 1 point

[Theodora]

So Let's start:

Situation:

 

A Very Old Cairhienan Rich Lady receives an ornate book and a short note from her Andoran daughter-in-law on its cover: "Read chapter 66 and you will see how you will die".

She flipps the pages with her old crooked fingers, licking her fingertips, so she can reach chapter 66 faster. She is found dead in her chambers some hours later, by her maid.

 

Now it is your turn: you can help each other, ask questions, discuss it and guess the solution.

[Aidanna]

I think I know it! Was there poison on her pages that she licked off of her fingers?

[Theodora]

What an utterly disgusting idea?!

 

But it is correct

 

The old lady saw a line in the title of chapter 66: You will die from the poison imbued in the pages of this book.

 

Aida gets 1 point

 

This was just to get things started

 

Let's see you on this situation:

 

It is a normal day in the Silver Turnip inn when a Domani man comes inside walking on his hands, legs and feet in the air. The bartender serves him, like there is nothing strange, he drinks the wine with one hand holding the glass and still standing on the other, and leaves satisfied.

 

So, explain...

[michellem]

Had he just painted his toenails?

[Theodora]

I am afraid he didn't, otherwise he would have looked less weird with pink nails

[Aidanna]

Did he have the hic-ups?

[Theodora]

No, Aida, he didn't.

 

Do this trick really work in RL? To stand on my hands and the hiccups stops?

[michellem]

So his nails is pink?

[Theodora]

Might be, irrelevant

[Aidanna]

I have no idea if it really works - I have incredible luck, and I would probably manage to drown myself trying to drink upside down. 

[Theodora]

Not really, but good ones, people

[_CLOUD]

Is the Domani man part of a circus that just arrived in town?

[Theodora]

Is the Domani man part of a circus that just arrived in town?

 

Cold, Cloud

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

His wife told him if she ever caught him with a drink in his hand again she'd kill him

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

no... the drink is in his hand.

 

*gives up*

[_CLOUD]

Is the bartender also walking on his hands?

[michellem]

His wife said he's not allowed to set his foot inside a bar again!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

ding ding ding!

[michellem]

Foot, feet, wichever

[_CLOUD]

I believe Mish has guessed it This is a fun game.

[Aidanna]

I bet that's it Mish!

[Theodora]

His wife said he's not allowed to set his foot inside a bar again!

 

And we have a winner for this round!

 

Very good, Mish, 1 point for you too

 

You are all getting better. So, let's continue:

 

Situation:

 

Nynaeve, wearing her red dress Luka asked her to, bought matching shoes with 15 centimeters high heels. Later that night she died.

 

What happened?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I guess fell and broke her head is too obvious?

 

ok, she got gored by a bull she couldn't run from because of the silly heels.

[Theodora]

That is a cool answer, Cindy, but no she didn't fall, nor a bull gored her.
