29 hours and 13 minutes till end of Day 4.

Official Vote Count TIG - 2/7 (Marsh, Verbal) KEY - 1/7 (Tig) Not Voting Ithi, Dice, Nyn, DPR, Key With 8 alive it takes 5 to lynch. Countdown to EOD.

Yup. It's only a kind of combination of his first and second favourite roles. He's having a great time lol

Oh! There's something trying to get to him!

The cultist is locked up though. He will still be there in the morning.

No lol. I thought you'd just requoted the VC I posted and that I'd used the wrong one

That's an improvement for me. At least I'm not calling everyone Mafia anymore lol

Feck it. I went back to far.

I did. Was that not the last vote count that I found. Let me go check.

Manager

Looks like I have to make the casting vote, and I think I'd rather talk to the cultist in the morning, when I'm rested and it's not dark. Story Update – Day 6, Nightfall Location: Windrest Hollow – Hearthrest Inn, Back Room Status: Fatigue: High (will lower after rest) | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 You make your way toward the back of the inn, where Halwen is restocking shelves with quiet efficiency. At your approach, he pauses, then gestures to a smaller table set aside from the main room—more private. He sits, pouring two small cups of spiced plum tea. “There’s a calm over Windrest Hollow tonight,” he begins. “Too calm, if you ask me.” He leans forward, lowering his voice. “A few things you might want to know… since you've returned from Skyreach:” “A trader came through earlier today, spooked. Swore he saw silhouettes dancing in the Verdant Hollow—roots moving on their own. Said he wouldn’t camp near there again.” (Hint: Earth Temple stirring) “That cultist of yours? Still breathing, still silent. But… our warding glyph cracked earlier. Just faintly. Didn’t trip the alert sigils, but I trust my eyes.” (Hint: Possible magical interference or influence) “And lastly…” He frowns. “There’s a storm forming again. Not natural. Something about it feels… reflective, like a mirror catching too many skies.” (Hint: Possible Spirit + Air event brewing) Codex Insight: Three anomaly threads registered Verdant Hollow activity (Earth) Cultist aura disturbance (Spirit?) Skymirror Storm forming (Air + Spirit) Halwen finishes his tea. “You’ll have choices soon, I think. Make ‘em count.” What will you do next tonight? Eavesdrop on local rumors – See if others noticed the anomalies Check on the cultist directly – Inspect magical tampering Meditate (Spirit focus) – Tap into the storm’s strange resonance Speak with the trader, if he's still in town – Ask about the Verdant Hollow sighting Head to your room and rest – Begin Day 7 at dawn, fully restored What would you like to do?

I also had 3 power cuts today, so that was fun.

I had to click the keyboard and wobble the mouse all day!

It's true. But it's artfully done, so doesn't count.

Happy now @DPR?

I don't understand why you posting would make things weird? Have I missed something?

Shut up Pirate. I gave my thoughts already lol. I will not drag them onto this page just because you are lazy. Don't be tagging me like I've not done anything today. Why do you think Verbal might be the Cop? With his comments last night I thought he might be third party. I guess it could be a double bluff? I am NOT linking Tig and Verb here BTW, but Tig has not voted on any Lynch at all. Verbal did vote on the Ed Lynch but that was an obvious mash up and he got in there before Tig. So because they are on the same quotes I'm gonna talk about them both here. Verbal has been telling me I am wrong and I need to play better. He's right, but I still blame Verb because there's a reason I switched to Modding. Verbal said I had to play the game as well, seeing as how this whole mafia thing started back up with me. And I'm sure he's mostly been playing all the games for the same reason. I have tried a lot harder since Day 1 though. I think Verbal has been counselling against all lynches and saying told you so because he can. He doesn't care if mafia or Town are Lynched. If a Mafia is Lynched he can say yay! Great job. If a Town is Lynched he can say he told us so. Actually that's a great strategy to use, because you always seem right lol. I'm gonna remember it. He has been Lynched before, for pretending to be a little bit Mafia so he didn't draw a night kill. Maybe he didn't want to take any chances this time. That would be a clever Cop thing to do, but Dice says he's the cop. Onto Tig. She had Heavy as her top Mafia read. She did pick Marsh for a bit but when I asked her about this she said actually yes Heavy. And then on Day 3 she was back onto Heavy again. But at the end she was there and posting and the Heavy hammer was available. She didn't do it. At the time I started flip flopping the reasons why. Were they both Mafia and Tig didn't want to vote a team mate? We're they both Mafia and Tig didn't want to get called out for bussing? Was Heavy actually Town and Tig didn't want to be seen to be the hammer. I don't want to be absolutist though, so maybe there's a small chance Tig is Town. I would like her to explain why she didn't want to vote for the person she most thought was mafia.

@Millon is gonna be so mad we went to the pub without him lol Story Update – Day 6, Nightfall Location: Windrest Hollow – Hearthrest Inn Status: Fatigue: High | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 The familiar wooden sign of the Hearthrest Inn creaks gently in the wind as you step inside. Warm light spills from within, casting long shadows over polished stone floors and well-worn wooden tables. A soft hum of conversation hushes as you enter—recognition spreading among the gathered villagers. A moment later, Innkeeper Halwen emerges from behind the counter. "Back from the clouds, are you?" he says with a smile. "Your room’s still yours. Word was you were off chasing storms." He gestures to the far corner—your usual table—already set with a warm meal and steaming drink. You’ve earned more than just food tonight. Rest Bonus Activated: "Trusted Guest" Free room and full meal +1 temporary HP tomorrow Fatigue will be reduced to Low after rest You overhear whispers: “The storm passed right over the Hollow but didn’t touch a thing.” “The cultist’s been quiet. Too quiet.” “There’s something odd stirring in the forest again…” You catch none of the tension you felt on first arriving here. For now, Windrest Hollow is at peace—but the threads of the greater world are tugging again. Updated Status: Fatigue: High (will lower upon rest) HP: 26 / 26 EP: 16 / 16 Air Glyph Acquired You are fully restored and may rest whenever you choose. What would you like to do next before resting? Eavesdrop on local rumors – Try to gather insight from the villagers' conversations Check in on the cultist prisoner – A secure holding chamber was set in the granary cellar Speak with Innkeeper Halwen – Ask about any recent strange happenings Meditate privately – Focus your elemental senses (may open up Spirit or hybrid insights) Head to your room and sleep – End the day and begin Day 7 fully refreshed What would you like to do?

I'm so glad you said what the real quote was though, because what I said felt off and I was trying all the words and just couldn't remember lol.

And I have to work now so no more deep thoughts for a while or I'm gonna get in trouble for not tapping on my keyboard or wiggling my mouse enough.

Morning. I still think Tig is suss as heck. She could be the 3rd party, but I've got some other thoughts about that after going back through the game again. I can't remember anyone doing the list thing yesterday. And I can't tell who the 3rd person is that I'm missing is yet. Rand never gave who he protected cos he never actually claimed but he had Nyn as his number 1 town. I also have Nyn as town. I have DPR as town and he has claimed Hider. Dice has claimed Town Cop. The simplest explanation for that is because he is the Town Cop. I don't think Marsh is 3rd party. I had a Town read on Turin and nothing Marsh has done since has made me think this slot is not Town. I have Key as Town because she's been actively making cases and her reasoning seemed sound. But I thought my reasoning was sound. Still nothing obvious has caught my attention as yet. I'm not willing to put her in my possible mafia/3rd party as yet though. I can see how logically Key is Mafia, but I think Tig is more Mafia and I can resolve Key later. I think Verbal might be the 3rd party, because he was trying to draw the Mafia kill last night. But he might have been pretending to be the 3rd party so he wouldnt be killed. I think the 3rd party has to be resolved but I'm not sure if it's imperative yet. The target's not been found yet, as the condemner and the target have not been removed from the game. If he is the condemner he would have his BPV so if the Mafia had tried to kill him he wouldn't have died. 3rd party can win with Town. But the list of targets is getting smaller. If his target is Mafia then that's good, cos a Mafia and a 3rd party get removed from the game. If his target is Town then it affects how many days we have left to solve this. I can't do the maths and I've tried. I think Tig is Mafia. She had Heavy as her top suspect yesterday but wouldn't vote him all day. She also spent an awful lot of time still talking about Marsh and Rand and I didnt think there was any real reason to do that. if she's not Mafia then she is the 3rd party and that would also explain why she's been so fence sitting and neutral. But that would mean there are 2 Mafia out there still to find. I didn't like that there was such a long wait to Hammer. I was wrong about Heavy, but at least now I can move on and not be so tunnelled on him, so I'm kind of glad I hammered him and just got an answer or I'd have been still banging on about him again today.

To the village! Story Update – Day 6, Nightfall Location: Windrest Hollow – Village Perimeter Status: Fatigue: Moderate-High | HP: 26 / 26 | EP: 16 / 16 You steady the glider frame, heart quickening. Glyphs flare along the Windlift Channel, wind surging beneath your feet. With a running start, you leap—and the air catches you. You glide. The descent is both swift and serene—dipping between cloudbanks, stars beginning to emerge overhead. Lights twinkle far below: Windrest Hollow. The same quiet village where you recovered after the cultist ambush, where memories of the Water Temple still echo in your dreams. You touch down just outside the village boundary. A few villagers glance up from lantern-lit porches, startled but unharmed. The Codex pulses softly. Codex Update: Air Temple Completed – Glyph Acquired Glider Blueprint added to Arcane Codex You may now craft or summon similar frames at Air-infused shrines (Air: 3+ or appropriate conduit required) You feel stronger. You’ve mastered the winds. Updated Status: Air Glyph Obtained (3/5 Elemental Glyphs acquired) Codex Stable Fatigue: Moderate-High (you’ll need rest soon) Unified Elemental Bond: Sync strong. Night interactions may echo elemental attunements. What would you like to do next? Seek out the village elder – Share news of your journey, check for any recent disturbances Visit the inn – Secure rest and possibly hear rumors or local tales Inspect the cultist prisoner – If still held, they may have more to reveal now that you’ve returned Meditate at the village spring – Recover EP and possibly deepen a spiritual connection Check inventory and prepare spells – Adjust spellbook, plan for the next leg of the quest Would you like a reminder of your current spellbook, inventory, or Codex powers before choosing?
