Dragged. Lol Casually mentioned and campaigned a little maybe 🙂

👀 Oh. My bad lol

Edward no! Wb 💙

I mean, if you're not in the game, then someone else will naturally be more villagery ... You would be Villagery Villager Emeritus, like the Pope.

Oh I think we should all be the most villagery villager ever to village.

Today I found @mottlee and @Red2111 Actually I found Mottlee by accident but she came and said hi on DM anyways! So maybe they will come visit here. If Red can ever find her email she used originally lol

We all thought you'd love the legendary aspect of it all, because you were the only villager in the village.

Maybe Gladiator would have been better.

It was not intentional. Indeed it was unprecedented. I doubt it will ever ever happen again. But I was checking you were OK in the game.

Hey me and Dice are continuing our networking efforts to get more people back. All everyone needs to do is reach out to old friends and promise them a most excellent fun time 🙂

Ball

Don't wanna get sneak attacked lol

Don't forget there's a DM Mafia Discord, but you have to send sinisterdeath a PM to get added. He's waiting for your call I want to play now.

Loot today, worry tomorrow lol Story: While the surrendered cultist watches in silence—still kneeling—you cautiously approach the fallen members of the Eye of the Hollow, keeping your senses sharp for lingering traps or dark residue. You search the scorched robes, shattered masks, and fallen blades with care. The Codex flickers now and then, highlighting traces of ritual enchantment and hidden compartments. Items Recovered: Shadowglass Dagger (from Cultist 1) A dark, curved blade made from obsidian-like material +1 damage vs cursed or spirit-weakened foes Light enough to conceal; does not interfere with spellcasting Can be equipped as a secondary weapon Scroll Fragment – Ritual of Hollow Sight (Cultist 2) Torn page with ritual instructions Mentions: “The Eye opens only to those who blind their own” Codex notes this as a fragment of a larger cult rite Possibly tied to their method of detecting elemental glyphs 11 Copper + 2 Silver Crowns (gathered from pouches) Some coins are scorched but still usable Cursed Thread Ring (Cultist 3 – cracked open) Severed from a burnt finger No longer functional, but the Codex absorbs it for study May unlock anti-cult resistance enchantments if purified later Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 27 EP: 3 / 17 Veilbrand Ascendant: On cooldown Elemental Strengths: Water: 19 | Fire: 12 | Spirit: 15 | Air: 2 | Earth: 2 Inventory Additions: Shadowglass Dagger (+1 vs cursed/Spirit-weakened) Scroll Fragment – Hollow Sight 11 Copper, 2 Silver Crowns (Total now: 47 Copper, 6 Silver Crowns) Cursed Thread Ring (Stored in Codex vault for later purification) Codex Update: Cult artifact analysis unlocked Ritual Scroll tracked for pattern recognition Outcome of the Choice: You recovered several valuable items, coin, and cult lore from the fallen. The Shadowglass Dagger now gives you a physical weapon advantage, and the ritual fragment may reveal how the cult detects or hunts elemental champions like you. Next Choices: Question the surviving cultist while their defenses are low. Bind the cultist and prepare to take them to a nearby sanctuary or town. Use the Prayer Stone now to purify the Cursed Thread Ring immediately. Rest beside the stone pillars, recovering HP and EP while you're still safe. Consult the Codex for the nearest village, to trade, rest, or warn others.

Dice says he never lynches returnees on Day 1 so we're good to go

Loot's always good.

Don't pick the cult ones. Welcome back Nyn 🙂 Good job Dice!

You are gonna have to do a LOT of reaching out maybe

Let's magically interrogate him Battle Update: You lower your hands and take a measured breath. The air still glows faintly from your spell, and your Spirit Glyph responds immediately as you activate Soul Veil. A silvery shimmer spreads across your vision, revealing the emotional and mental threads surrounding the final cultist. You see it clearly: Fear, rooted in guilt Conflict, a thread of hesitation Pain, not just physical, but emotional—this one was not fully committed to the cult’s path You speak, calm and clear: “You don’t want this. You never did. The Hollow only takes. I see it in you. Let it go—before it consumes what’s left.” The cultist lowers their blade. The flame still licking at their cloak extinguishes. Their mask falls away, revealing a young face etched with exhaustion. They drop to their knees and raise their hands. “I didn’t know… not until I saw you fight. I thought we were saving the world... not feeding it to the dark.” Combat Ends – You Win Final cultist surrenders Codex records emotional breach through Spirit Veil Spirit Glyph strengthened by peaceful resolution You gain a temporary spiritual advantage in your next battle Updated Stats: HP: 25 / 27 EP: 3 / 17 (Soul Veil used: -4 EP) Veilbrand Ascendant: Cooldown active Spirit Glyph: Glows brighter—now resonates more deeply with clarity of self Elemental Strengths: Water: 19 Fire: 12 Spirit: 15 (+1 from successful emotional resolution) Air: 2 Earth: 2 Inventory: (unchanged) Codex Update: Eye of the Hollow Agent Captured Interrogation opportunity available “Spirit Triumph” condition active – advantage in next spiritual challenge Outcome of the Choice: You used Soul Veil to confront and reach the final cultist’s true heart. They surrendered without further violence, granting you insight into their doubts and strengthening your Spirit affinity. Next Choices: Question the cultist about the Eye of the Hollow and their connection to the dark force. Bind the cultist and take them with you to the next sanctuary. Offer the cultist mercy and release, trusting their confession. Rest and recover by the stone pillars, using the peace you’ve earned. Search the defeated cultists for clues, items, or coin.

Welcome officially to DM. I have seen you in the word game I think. She did so well in that game. They turned almost annihilation into a win. I guess you already know all the things we do here lol

Peace

I guess if I'm playing I'll have to actually pay attention to what everyone is saying. I've been coasting by just doing the odd vote count.

We could use number 3 and find out who he works for.
