Like Dice said, Ed didn't have any votes until after you claimed. And I'm pretty sure it was the random pop ups and slanking that got my attention. And the half arsed list that he did. But it did actually all happen very quickly on Ed so I was wrong about that. I thought he had some votes before you claimed

But why would anyone make a plan that depends on us not believing Dice is the cop. But then contrarywise who would have known that Dice would be the first Lynch candidate on D1 and that would suck if you were the Mafia team. Who have you checked so far @dicetosser1 I've already done too much backwards and forwards, so it would be really kind if you could just tell me. I should be working but now I have this going round and round.

Maybe @Darthe could check in with her?

I can't believe you've got me being a Turin. I like just having a reason to vote and voting.

Was the Ed fake claim of Doc done to try and find the Doc, but they didn't expect him to mess up his posts lol. They would have thought that everyone would just back down. Because that's what people do when a claim is made. Heavy said it was pretty obvious that Rand was the Doc and reading back he does actually say, at least I didn't have to give the Rand Guarantee. And then they killed him that night. Of course Ed would have been Killed the next day, but it's possible another person would have been killed on Day 2, instead of Ed, if he'd not messed up. And that probably would have been a Town person.

If Dice is faking it, he said we would have to kill anyone who counter claims. Maybe they would have claimed if they got a red peek but it's all getting very close now. And we can't risk that Dice is not exactly what he has claimed because people have done math.

I wish I could. I've got the day off tomorrow, which means I was already doing today and tomorrow's work. Now they've issued an All Hands for Tuesday which means I have 3 days work to do today.

Everyone has vanished.

>.>

We do have 2 shrines to do and we probably will have to get them done before we can find the Heart. Or at least we should. Probably a good idea to get our levels up a bit more. We don't want to end up in the wrong area too soon

We go to bed Story Update – Day 6, Late Night → Day 7, Dawn Location: Windrest Hollow – Guest Quarters Status: Fatigue: None | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 You accept Halwen’s offer of a room in the elder hall above the cellars. The cot is simple, but clean. Wind hums gently through the shutters. You focus on stillness. The Codex dims to a calm blue, syncing with your slowed breath. Sleep comes easily, threaded with quiet dreams of shifting skies and severed chains. Long Rest Completed HP fully restored EP fully restored Fatigue cleared Weave Fusion reset (Veilbrand Surge ready) The Stormcall Feather rests near your bedroll, humming faintly. Though unbound, it seems attuned to you still—for now. Outside, dawn touches Windrest Hollow in shades of gold and frost. Villagers move quietly, but there's tension beneath their calm. You sense something stirring beyond the ridgelines. Halwen waits near the central brazier, deep in conversation with another elder. He sees you and nods, gesturing for you to approach when ready. Codex Reminder: Known threats – Cult of the Shrouded Flame seeks to corrupt the Heart of the Elements A chained being, the Shrouded Flame, may be key to this ritual The cult's dark moon ritual is still approaching The Spirit Shrine or Verdant Hollow (Earth Temple) may be next leads What would you like to do this morning? Speak with Halwen – Coordinate next steps or ask for aid Examine the Stormcall Feather again – Reconsider bonding it Return to the Warded Cell – Check on the cultist or review your notes Head out of the village – Begin tracking the nearest known elemental shrine Prepare new Weaves – Create or modify spells using your Codex What would you like to do?

You know what? Executive decision. Let's just have our long rest. One sec

I think we're just in the basement of the inn

You were busy while I was sleeping. Let's interrogate the cultist Story Update – Day 6, Nightfall Location: Windrest Hollow – Warded Cell Status: Fatigue: High | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 You wait beside the cultist, listening to the slow cadence of his breath. The glow from the circle has faded into a low pulse. The Codex confirms: no Echo interference remains. Minutes pass. Then—he stirs. Eyes flutter open. Dazed, blinking against the dim lamplight. His voice is hoarse. “Where… where am I? The voices… they’re quiet…” You speak gently at first, anchoring your words with subtle Spirit resonance. He reacts, confusion clouded by a strange relief. Interrogation Check – Success (Spirit + Codex Insight) He doesn’t remember all of it—but fragments remain. “We were called to the Hollow to prepare the Crossing... a passage for Her return. The moon must blacken, the flame must dim. The chained one is… is her key.” You press for more. He hesitates, then murmurs: “They said the Heart of the Elements lies buried, veiled. They would corrupt it. She would use it to unmake the balance…” He coughs, eyes flicking to the warding circle. “I didn’t want this. I thought we were bringing peace. But she… she is not what they promised.” You ask for her name. His eyes widen—then he shudders and curls inward. “We called her the Shrouded Flame. The one bound by echoes. She’s coming…” Then, sleep takes him again. Peaceful, this time. Codex Insight Updated – Cult of the Shrouded Flame You now know: The cult believes the Heart of the Elements is hidden and veiled They plan to corrupt it as a key for their leader’s return The "Shrouded Flame" is a being bound by echoes and chained The dark moon ritual is central to their timeline Halwen returns just as you finish transcribing the memory threads into your Codex. He looks at the unconscious prisoner and says quietly: “You’ve done more tonight than a dozen truthweavers. This changes things. We may have a path to act—before they do.” Fatigue: High You’re pushing your limits. Rest is advised before further action. What would you like to do next? Take a long rest – Regain all HP/EP, reduce fatigue, and prepare for tomorrow Speak with Halwen – Share theories and ask for strategic options Search the prisoner’s belongings – Look for physical clues or cult objects Use the Codex to meditate – Attempt a Spirit or Elemental vision Leave the warded cell – Head into Windrest Hollow to check on the village What would you like to do?

16 hours and 25 minutes till end of Day 4

Was it something I said?

Ok lights out.

3 1/2 hours but you're right. There was no one voting him when DPR claimed 9.28pm my time DPR claims this is 10.02pm 10.57 11.04 11.46 11.59 12.21 Ed claims

Last one for tonight. Let's cut that link Story Update – Day 6, Nightfall Location: Windrest Hollow – Warded Cell Status: Fatigue: High | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 You kneel by the circle, Codex pulsing with soft violet-blue light as you focus your Spirit. The anchor threading through the cultist is tenuous—neither possession nor message, but something designed to grow roots. You draw upon your affinity and attempt a Spirit Disruption Weave. Spellcraft Check – Success (Spirit Level 10) You do not create a full spell, but channel a clean, focused pulse of disruptive resonance. The Codex resonates with Veil of Equilibrium, amplifying your intent. The cultist gasps. His eyes snap open—then glaze again. The warding glyph flares brightly. Anchor Severed. Echo Link Disrupted. Residual memory fragments flooding… Your Codex flashes. For a moment, you're overwhelmed by his perception—flashes of dark robes, chanting beneath a blackened moon, a ritual around a chained figure veiled in mist. Then silence. The cultist slumps forward, unconscious—but breathing evenly. Whatever control or surveillance was active has been purged. The circle stabilizes, and the Spirit pressure lifts. Codex Insight Gained – Echo Severance Passive Effect: You can now sense when Spirit anchors or Echo magic are active in your vicinity. +1 Spirit Lore Halwen arrives moments later, humming with concern. "You broke the link? That... that might've saved more than just him. Echo-binding has been spreading through some of our outlying villages." You now have a safe opportunity to interrogate the cultist if desired—he may awaken with clearer thoughts. Or you could rest and recover for tomorrow. What would you like to do next? Interrogate the cultist immediately – Try to extract what he knows while the memory is fresh Take a long rest – Recover HP/EP and reduce fatigue before continuing Research the ritual you glimpsed – Use your Codex and lore access Speak with Halwen privately – Ask what he knows of the chained figure in the cultist’s vision Leave the cellar for fresh air – Center yourself before deciding What would you like to do?

I think I'm done. Off to Bedlington.

so when DPR claimed there was only 3 1/2 hours left till end of Day. There really wasn't a lot of choice in how fast Ed's Lynch went up... then down... then back up again lol

Im tired too. yep but that train went from nothing to something really quick this time I’m just worried it’s too easy. shrug I think it was getting towards end of Day. There'd already been a slower train on DPR? He claimed and that was squashed and Ed had the next most votes. I could go and check I supposed. I've got this game up down and sideways in my brain now. Not what I had planned. Have a laugh. Drop the odd vote. But no. Now I'm invested and it's exhausting.

24 hours and 49 minutes till end of Day 4

Official Vote Count TIG - 3/7 (Marsh, Verbal. Ithi) KEY - 2/7 (Tig, Dice) Not Voting Nyn, DPR, Key With 8 alive it takes 5 to lynch. Countdown to EOD.

Where is she? She has been gone a very long time.
