Day 5 - Holy Men and Heretics

With the coming of dawn, there were no longer volunteers for patrol. Those forced to patrol were already on edge before they began, and by the end, many were considering spending the rest of their days locked in a hole somewhere.

The first body they came across was of the woman known as Catelyn, who was found dead in one of the back streets leading towards the lodging she was staying at. Adorned in armor, the woman looked like she had been stabbed through the back multiple times, and then dismembered with the blood-soaked blade that lay discarded beside her. The blade that did it was so sharp it seemed capable of cleaving the armor she wore in two. Upon closer inspection of her corpse, the guards found a silver necklace adorned with the same sigil Father Matthew's letter was sealed with. It seemed that her claims the previous day, which the guards had not believed due to her feminine appearance, were actually true. She was the last bastion of defense against Count Dracula's thralls, a Paladin.

She left a last will:

Let it be known that this night I shall smite the supposed Jailor, Ser Davos. It's interesting how his existence has faded into the fog of memory today, however if I were the cult leader a jailor would be an extremely tempting target to have on my team.

---

Upon stopping by the house of the man known as Yoren, it was discovered that the man's door was ajar. While the guards grimly steeled themselves to the tragedy they had come to expect constantly, it was still not an easy sight to behold. Yoren lay slumped over his desk, his blood and brain matter sprayed all over the compendiums that laid still open on that same desk. The cause of death seemed to be a small cylindrical hole through the back of the head, which they wagered was a gunshot wound of some sort. While they were there, they decided to take a look around, and upon finding a still-open hidden cellar door, they descended into what appeared to be a study for a practitioner of the dark arts. In the center of the room, what was left of a solomonic magic circle was still drawn with what appeared to be chalk, and in the middle of it, lay Tyrion. Clasped around his right ankle was a metal bear trap, and it seemed whomever had committed the murder upon him had taken the advantage of the opportunity given to him. Tyrion's eyes had been removed by a vicious ceremonial dagger, which rested upon a small table full of various other tools, though the eyes were oddly missing. In one of his eyesockets, what seemed like smelted silver still cooled. In his other, the barrel of the gun that had likely been the cause of Yoren's death was lodged with seeming force.

While some guards left to search Tyrion's home, those who stayed behind concluded that Yoren was a Warlock. Not many seemed to mind when they desecrated what remained of Yoren's corpse before dragging it along the streets to be buried. In Tyrion's home they found his journal, detailing months of rambling about how he knew that 'they' had come and that 'they' would try and take him but he prepared a special weapon for just such an occasion. It seemed that Tyrion was also known as Dr. Adolf von Helsing, the 'expert' vampire hunter.
Tyrion left a last will:

I will shoot Yoren. Tell me is Helsing any good?

When those who visited Jon's house emerged, only one remained lucid enough to describe the sight within. He recounted the sight in great detail. The inside of the one-room house was painted with blood, as if a gigantic, overfilled balloon had exploded at it's center. Darker spots appeared almost as if runes, and the liquidity of them caused them to move as if dancing. While one would expect the blood to have dried by now, or at least pooled mostly upon the floor, it had not. It continued to flow down the walls, true, but for some reason never seemed to thin, nor did it rub off onto the hands of those who dared to touch it. Those who did, however, began to speak of hearing voices, and while those unaffected had said that they heard nothing, their worry grew fiercer, until suddenly they simply quieted. Then they attacked one another, tearing at each other with hands and weapon alike while the others watched on in stunned horror. They killed each other before their eyes, and none of them did anything to stop it. He then simply walked away, cautioning no one else to approach the house, that it was 'cursed'.

You require 12 votes to lynch. Once a hammer vote has been cast, it cannot be undone.

well looks like we need a new paladin, massive serf claims incoming

FUCKEN NOOBS! MASON ME!

-Ser Gregor

-Ser Gregor

Well. Didn't Bronn claim to have checked Ser Gregor and that one of his teammates freaked out when they tried to kill him. I'd say he's a good bet for lynch today.

Getting rid of the Cult Leader would be a good idea because we have a chance at hitting two birds with one stone. A culted mafia member, and the cult leader.

Tyrion was spending a fair amount of time online last night so unless he is the bishop (which I bet he isn't) he is scum

Good call.

-vote Ser Gregor
It pains me Jon turned out to be a ghost and not a mafia, but oh well.

Oh yea! what time is it? It's TRAIN TIME!

-vote Ser Gregor

Oh Yes, Thank You For Reminding Me
-Vote Ser Gregor

I'm in complete agreement that we need to find the cult leader. And based on the fact that one of the mafias attacked a mason, I do believe that the cult has infiltrated the red mafia Bronns last will indicated.

It could be Gregor, he avoided answering about his investigation results yesterday.

I am however really disappointed that Bronn was lynched so early yesterday. I never saw the jailor post and am not sure if he had time to jail anyone. Also, Rodrik never got a chance to defend himself from my accusation. So, shame on Joffrey for hammering.

STFU ORANGE GODFATHER! YOU ARE NEXT TOMORROW!

What..

Don't you think we should focus on someone scummier... like samwell.

btw -vote ser gregor bitch should have just gone with the lynch of your own mafia rather than freaking out and revealing yourself

@ Sandor
I'm well aware that I can't confirm my role until both GFs, the cult leader and possible jester are dead, and I'm sure you know there is nothing I can do to defend myself other than my word.

But I'd avoid directing the masons as much as possible with the interceptor still alive. I'm sure the Bishop can make a good decision on his own without it being advertised. If he chooses me then so be it, if not, I'll continue to do my best to find the other scum.

I find it odd that you make this accusation while you claim citizen by asking the masons to take you. You've done nothing to contribute to this game other than post yellow spam every day and bashing how retarded everyone is. Oh btw, I'd like to point out your reply #141 on day 3. The only thing you have going for you is that Catelyn smited you, then again.. the GM did drop the hint that smiting the cult leader does nothing.

There is still a random neutral out there and unless Janos lied, that would be a jester.

-vote Ser Gregor

I found a Mason/Doctor/Cultist/Witch last night.

Based on the night's events, I can be fairly sure that I found either a Doctor or a Cultist. I don't want to reveal the name of my target because of the possibility of outing another protection role. So far I'm 1 for 2.

I think Ser Gregor has some explaining to do to the citizens of Westeros based on that last will.

The Lord of Light is not pleased with this turn of events. The Paladin and the Vigilante being struck down in the same night...Certainly not a productive night, though Yoren is no longer a concern. And it appears Jon Snow's aggressive attitude was warranted due to his coming back from the grave to haunt others.

Joffrey appears to be working for our side...suddenly I must trust the false king and be wary of he whom I support: Stannis Baratheon.

I will be away for a few hours so I don't vote him now, only when I get back, I don't want a random hammer.
Nothing happened to me tonight.

Almost a third of the people here are scum, what did you expect?

Yoren dead = good and the phantom is now out to kill one of the covens I guess. If anyone else visited Yoren last night, please tell us who the trapper is.

I'm actually quite glad that they killed Catelyn first and not the Bishop. This way there's a better chance that the inquisitors will survive and get a new recruit, because the Bishop is still hidden and hopefully won't die. For that reason, it's probably best if joffrey doesn't reveal his target from last night. Unfortunately it's quite likely that Joffrey already got culted, or will get culted tonight.

I'm not comfortable with it that the last will of a coven member is being used as the grounds for a lynch train. As far as I'm concerned the information isn't trustworthy enough. Ser Gregor could be the cult leader. Then again, the "investigation results" from Bronn could simply be lies altogether. We don't know if Ser Rodrik and Ser Gregor are actually in the serf pairing at all. I would suggest caution and not training him prematurely.

@ the whole Sandor thing. What's curious is that Sandor asked to be culted first and now he asks to be masoned. Is he really a bored serf? Or is he scum who wants to claim PR WIFOMing to be serf if it fails? Asking to be culted is something I might have done if I were the cult leader myself, in an attempt to throw the bishop off.

And I don't trust Stannis. He just became active all of a sudden and his behavior and suggestions are really iffy and not very well argumented.

Ser Davos really needs to speak up. He is not cleared by last night's smiting because it's possible that he also got healed. And now that it won't be possible to protect or smite him tonight, he will be a prime dracula target.

-Vote Ser Gregor

He has been my top suspect since D1, acting scummy, and flat-out refusing to answer questions.

While I think Ser Gregor is scum, do remember that Bronn was also scum. The whole "member freaking out over kill target" thing doesn't sound very authentic.

Also, about culting...

Do people know when they recieve cult protection?
Does armour prevent culting?

A: Ser Gregor isn't talking whatsoever
B: He hasn't roleclaimed yet

He's waiting for Joffrey and any other investigative roles to claim their results so he can claim a random role and get away scot free. Don't be fooled

Mason me please.
I'm Serf accpect that.
Ill be here tomorrow with a rap and to have a discussion.

I am getting impatient, these not so little things are still too small. They need to grow faster! Perhaps I should give them a good ol' firebath tonight.

Due to recent events...

...I have decided that Viserys is no longer my heir, he is simply too stupid for that. Only Daenerys can now take my place on the iron throne after we conquer it. With dragons.

I still can't believe that Joffrey hammered the lynch when we had plenty of day left. I think Ser Gregor is a good lynch but for obvious reasons I'm not adding my vote to the train yet - I see that train being hammered super early.

Now I'm assuming that Jon was killed by a mafia team (in which case I hope we'll be seeing him come back to help us lynch scum). We're also working under the assumption that Tyrion was killed by the Interceptor, and Catelyn was stabbed with her own blade because of the vampires as well?

Also I'm still suspicious of Joffrey and these results are hardly compelling. While outing the last Mason would be catastrophic, why is Joffrey under the impression there is a Doctor in the game? I'm worried that Joffrey is either not an Investigator, or is a Culted Investigator, simply setting up an alibi for future reference (and if the cult member he is helping turns out to be cult... Joffrey just says 'oh well told you they may have been cult!').

The role card states that the Doctor is notified when his heal is successful, but there's no mention anywhere of whether the target is notified (of an unsuccessful heal). Either they aren't, nobody has reported being healed, or there is no Doctor in the game.

Are the Doctor's targets informed that they have been healed, successful or otherwise?

I believe the false king is starting to show his true identity, when there was a 75% chance to reveal a town member then he gladly did so. But when there is only a 50% chance of his target being town then he is reluctant to share his information...

Even though my dragons are not yet of age I could force them to awaken their killing instinct if only I had a silver sword, then I could purge the false king from his throne and save this land.

Chances are that the apothecary healed Joffrey or Ser Davos or something, because in a normal game it's a good idea to heal a confirmed "town" PR. So far there haven't been any nights on which either of the covens didn't kill. Your suggestion that there is no doctor in the game "because nobody has reported to successfully heal yet" is very faulty. Still, the question is a good one.

Anyway, it's good that there are plenty of targets for the Bishop to use lay on hands on. It'll just make it that much harder for the cult to predict who will be masoned, so it'll be harder to get an infiltrator. Still, I would recommend staying away from the "serfs" found by Bronn.

I want to know from Sandor and Robb if either of them was witch controlled on night 3.

For those of you criticizing me and my methods, I already had my mistake. I learned from it. I'm not making it again. Although there is no evidence of a doctor, I can't put the possibility of this person failing hard out of my head.

Also yesterday, I hammered because I was going to be afk soon afterward. I didn't know if people would hammer so I did the deed myself.

I don't even care that much if you've found a doctor. I don't want the Bishop out in the open though.

Upon death, you gain the ability to -possess a target of your choice, using your energy reserves built up during the night to dominate them into being your thrall for the following day.

Was the Phantom able to possess someone today, or will he get to choose a target to possess the next night?

Just to be sure, does this mean the phantom wants the faction that killed him to lose, or the faction that killed his possessed target?

Hey Petyr, I've been double posting. Why don't you vote me? I think your last minute mysterious unvote on day 4 was mega suspicious.

Quote:

-unvote Bronn

I doubt he's scum because of how quickly he was jumped on. At worst he's a consigliere that's forced to be open with us.

You were right, he was "just a consigliere" and now you're quickly jumping on Ser Gregor.

Yes to both.

Has the target EVER been informed of an unsuccessful healing? And in the case of not notifying them of a successful healing, what would I tell them? Nothing? That they were attacked and that's it? Cmon. Ofc they're informed.

Another Role Claim!

Okay. I was targeted by the cult last night. However, there is an armoursmith in the game. I got a little scared for the very first time, so I was wearing the armour which prevented my conversion.

I am a serf. Yeah, you've already got quite a lot of claims. However, as long as you believe me, I have a 0% chance of being culted, and theirfore, the best candidate for your new pally:)

Armor is 1 use only. If you have 0% chance of being culted, you must be godfather, bishop, cult leader or already culted. You aren't any better as a candidate than other serf claimers.

What? It is a valid question and I am too lazy to search the rules :p

Well, if Jon is a good player, whichever faction is screwed, but I don't know who he is, we'll have to be careful.

Now that our Pally is dead, we can test Daenerys, Samwell, Varys, and Gregor.

Let the testing begin!
Before we do, I have some very important questions that need to be answered, and will determine my stance of things.

Do people know when they receive cult protection?

Jon can only possess a target the coming night, because it's a night action and he wasn't dead yet last night.

I think that testing people is of a lower priority than trying to make sure that there are 2 living inquisitors again the next day. You forgot 2 people on your list as well.

And please answer my question. Were you witched night 3?

You have contributed nothing and you're a scummy lurker. You haven't tried to be very obvious scum so I doubt you're a jester.

if there is anyone who is acting like a jester it is you cesei, I would vote you but we have better leads

It's funny to see both Viserys and Khal Drogo fighting for Daenerys by seeing who is the most stupid. Off with both their heads I say.
