Blah he totally stole that joke from me.

It's hard not being able to just turn round and do this 🤷‍♂️

Oh please. Verbal is not that obvious.

Simpsons

Only if the real Cop is a dumb who instantly goes oi! No I'm the Cop. It's a much better look to fight and stay alive than all this blah blah blah kill me anyways I'm just a Vanilla woe is me stuff. And I think a Mafia would be all omg I'm so worried. I can't possibly false claim the cop. So Dice is good with me now, Cop or no Cop.

Town can and should do whatever is necessary to stay alive and win.

*pretty sure Should I do FTFM's Or is Verbal just pretty?

Pretty this was the other way round lol

Well that's not true. Dice could be claiming Cop to stay alive and draw the mafia attention. Don't forget the mafia have a 1x Strongman kill that will go straight through the doc. Better to have a Vanilla be dead than the actual Cop. We probably should all just claim Cop.

A good night's rest then Story Update – Day 5, Nightfall → Day 6, Early Morning (Well-Rested) You find a flat stone beneath an overhang, shaped long ago for meditation and rest. With Nyra softly hovering near your shoulder, her light dimming protectively, you lay back and let sleep take you. The Codex pulses faintly throughout the night, drawing residual Spirit energy from the chamber. Your dreams are vivid: shimmering lights drifting through mist, the sound of chimes far above, and a gentle warmth—Nyra’s presence echoing through your soulbond. When you awaken, morning light filters weakly through cracks above. Nyra greets you with a brighter glow and a melodic hum. She darts once around the chamber and returns, wings flickering.

You're def gonna have to wait till after 4pm my time for a new list though. I'm on incoming all day. No calls yet, cos I only deal with people on our old system, but I'm not gonna be able to focus here while a call could pop up any moment.

See. In other news, it was actually really nice to not have to be there at end of Day. I could just vote who I thought was mafia and go to bed. Much less stressy

Morning. I absolutely did say I would change my view if I saw evidence on the thread that he might be Town. Maybe you didn't read that or chose to ignore it. As it stands, I thought he was mafia and so I voted for him. That is how I cope with this game. Sorry I was wrong Marsh. I hope you stay and play other games with us. It's been lovely having you back 💙

Well I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is first day back after long bank holiday weekend and we've already been told it'll be an all people on phones day 😞 So I'll be around after 4pm my time. night night.

Yup bedtime sounds good

So let's meditate again Snuggle time! Story Update – Day 5, Evening (Deepening Twilight) You settle in the center of the silent chamber. The ancient glyphs dim, leaving a faint, lingering shimmer. Nyra, your Spirit-woven familiar, floats close—her glow soft and pulsing. You close your eyes and focus your breath. Spirit energy threads between you, drawn from the chamber and the Codex, weaving a quiet bridge of emotion, thought, and intent. Nyra’s form shifts slightly—her glow becomes steadier, her wings longer, translucent with tiny etchings of constellations. You feel a pull in your chest as a shared memory forms—not yours, but some echo from deep within the Spirit plane. A vision passes: A still lake under moonlight… A flame dancing on the water… A whisper: “To see clearly is to burn gently.” Familiar Bond Deepens – Nyra (Stage 2) Name Confirmed: Nyra Trait Gained: Moonflare Glance – Briefly reveals illusions or magical deception near the player Trait Upgraded: Empathic Glimmer → Empathic Surge (boosts outcome of Spirit-based interactions and social insight) Passive Bonus: +1 Spirit Resistance Nyra now floats beside you with more stability and autonomy. You sense that she may soon develop a reaction ability—a passive defense or insight trigger during combat or key dialogue. Status: HP: 27 / 27 EP: 14 / 17 Fatigue: Moderate-High Time: Nightfall Next Choices: Rest here in the chamber – Safe from threats, Nyra may continue to evolve Climb to the ruined monastery surface – Chance of random encounter at night Attempt to craft a Nyra-linked Spirit Spell (Costs 1 EP, custom bonus) Examine the etched glyphs again – May contain dormant knowledge Use the Codex to scan the area magically (Costs 1 EP) Let me know your next move.

So flicker has a real name now. Hello Nyra 🐶

Lol same time. Let's just do the thing Story Update – Day 5, Evening You step into the crumbling circle, drawing on your Fire, Spirit, and Air affinities. The elemental glyphs flare to life as your Codex absorbs the trial’s invocation, converting your EP into focused energy. The Flickerling hovers nearby, agitated but curious. As you begin, the challenge unfolds in three elemental sequences: Phase 1 – Wind's Balance: Gusts swirl violently within the chamber. You must maintain equilibrium using Air and Spirit finesse. You channel inner calm and visual precision. Though your Air is low, your Spirit lends control. Success: You remain steady, and the glyphs stabilize. Phase 2 – Flame’s Echo: Pillars of fire rise in spirals. You must pass through with timing and precision. Drawing on your strong Fire mastery, you weave Emberlash in a circular rhythm, parting flame and creating a safe path. Success: The path opens forward. The totem pulses brighter. Phase 3 – Voice Within: A deep hum resonates from the slab. You feel your Spirit energy pulled into a test of introspection. You focus inward, the Codex amplifying your link to the Flickerling, which hovers at your shoulder, chiming softly. You hear a name form in your mind: “Nyra.” The Flickerling spins rapidly, then slows, settling at your side. **The room calms. The glyphs retreat. In the center of the circle, a new symbol etches itself into the stone—**a swirling spiral of blue, gold, and silver light. Your Codex flares with energy. You’ve unlocked a new Weave Fusion spell. New Spell Learned – Galeheart Flame (Air + Fire + Spirit Fusion) Launches a searing, spiraling flame that burns through resistance Deals bonus damage to ethereal, cursed, or airborne foes Temporarily grants Wings of Will: hover slightly, immune to knockback for 1 turn Adds Emotional Clarity: briefly reveals enemy motives or fears Flickerling Evolution Progress: +20% Nyra now reacts to internal resonance, not just Spirit zones Gained Trait: Empathic Glimmer – minor boost to success in Spirit-based checks Stats: HP: 27 / 27 EP: 14 / 17 Fatigue: High (2 major spells + deep mental exertion) Time: Day 5, Evening Spellbook Update: New: Galeheart Flame (Fusion Spell – 1 use per long rest) Veilbrand Surge (Used today) Next Choices: Rest within the trial chamber – Safe now, will reduce fatigue and recover 1 EP Return to the surface ruins – May encounter remaining Skyreach monks Meditate with Nyra – Could reveal further evolution path Examine the etched symbol – Might uncover hidden glyphs or materials Attempt to inscribe a second Fusion spell (Costs 2 EP, High fatigue risk) Let me know your next move!
