The Battle for Toman Head Game Thread: Game Over, Seanchan Win!

[alima]

This is the official game thread. The game has now begun.

These are the rules. Please read them. Ask questions if something is unclear.

Rules:

• 1. You must be active. If you miss three consecutive deadlines, you will be given a warning. If you miss two more consecutive deadlines, you will be wizkilled. Your team relies on you; don’t let them down. If you have extenuating circumstances, PM me to explain.
  2. You may PM each other, but realize that anyone can say anything about anyone. That doesn’t make it truth.
  3. You may not quote any PM in the game thread, including from me. You can paraphrase if you wish.
  4. Arguing and debate is fine. Personal attacks are not. Be civil.
  5. Factions and roles are randomly assigned. You are not guaranteed a role, but you may gain information and/or abilities via night activities and objects.
  6. You will be given your faction/role via PM. You must confirm that you understand your role and are ready to play by the end of the first day. Failure to confirm counts as inactivity.
  7. You may not target yourself with your ability.
  8. A faction wins if it survives longer than all other factions, or nothing can prevent this. A player wins if their faction wins.
  9. Gameplay is divided into phases, a day phase and a night phase. Each phase will last 24 hours. You are not required to post during the day phase, but posting and RP is encouraged. Do NOT edit your post for any reason. Each player must send me their action or activity during the night phase. Failure to send me an action/activity during the night phase counts as inactivity. You may not post in the game thread during the night phase.
  10. During the day phase, you may call for a lynch vote using this format: LYNCH ALIMA. You may also call for a NO LYNCH, or remove your vote entirely with NO VOTE.
  11. The day phase may end early if a lynch vote garners support of a majority of players.
  12. A majority is NOT required to lynch someone. Whichever player has the most votes at the deadline will be lynched. If the highest vote is for NO LYNCH, no one will be lynched at the deadline.
  13. During the night phase, you may choose to use your night action, visit the tavern, the town park, or the training grounds. I want to encourage roleplay, so you can feel free to explore the town outside of these three main activities as you so choose. There are objects scattered about the town that can be found. Simply PM me and tell me what you want to do or where you want to go.
  14. Objects may be found by anyone, even players using their night action. Activities and exploring are only available to players who are not using a night action.
  15. Once you are killed, you may not speak about the game to anyone, whether in the game thread or via PM or any other means. Dead men tell no tales. Do your best to preserve the integrity of the game. I intend to reveal all actions and results at the end of the game. Wait until then for answers to your questions.
  16. If you have further questions or are confused, PM me and I will clarify for you.
  17. Remember, everyone lies.
  18. Have fun!

The sky was dark and cloudy, and rain threatened Toman Head Road. A large camp sat just outside of a small village. Soldiers marched along the perimeter keeping a close watch on those who lived in the village. From out of the darkness, a scream arose, followed by a series of guttural howls. Then the night was quiet once more.

When morning came, cries of anguish filled the streets of the village. Blood covered the front of a small house, and a pile of body parts adorned the front step. Across the door was a dragon's fang, crudely carved deep into the wood.

The mayor stood silently, his grim stare taking in the horror. First this Seanchan army camped right on his doorstep, now this. His quiet little town was becoming more interesting by the hour, and he dreaded the days to come.

Turning, he spoke to the crowd that had assembled. "Go back to your homes and try to go about your business. The town watch will take care of this. Rest assured the perpetrators will be found and punished."

With that, he turned on his heel and left, not bothering to see if anyone heeded him.

It is now Day One. The deadline is set for Wednesday, December 27 at 11:30am Eastern time.

[Ashlee]

Ashlee looked momentarily at the grisly display before turning on heel and heading back to her home. Her shop would stay shuttered, few wanting to patronage it given the present circumstances. As she made her way back to her home, she softly whispered, “The Dark One and all the Forsaken are bound in Shayol Ghul, bound by the Creator at the moment of Creation, bound until the end of time.”

[hasp]

Hasp grabbed his son and wife by one of their hands and squeezed firmly. Dragging them close he whispered, "Do not look at anything. We must get home."

He walked briskly dragging his family behing him. They rushed into the house slamming the door.

[Firimei Lang]

Sighing as she rubbed her eyes , turning her children away from the grisly sight.

[Darth]

Darth strolled around the barn, tending to his sheep. He was wise, for he knew all too well that dragons ate sheep. He would protect his at all costs.

[Alaina]

Alaina threw the wooden shutters closed, sealing off the macabre sight just across the street. Her sight quickly adjusted to the dark, smokey room of her cottage. Thatched roof overhead held an array of dried herbs and spices. A fireplace roared in the far corner; and a bubbling cauldron splashed its contents into the flames to die with a sharp hiss.

Adding several ingredients into the concoction produced acrid smoke, and Alaina concealed her mouth, coughing through the smoke.

She spooned several scoops of liquid into a nearby glass jar and closed it tightly. She continued into the noon hours and throughout the rest of the day brewing and stirring, readying herself for the days to come when surely many of the sick will need the help of the village Wisdom.

[Aira]

Aira was still in bed when the town's folk did their gruesome discovery. She figured that if it was important enough someone would wake her, and she rolled over to continue sleeping. Later that day though, she learned more about what had occurred than she had wished.

[Joolis]

Joolis muttered an oath under his breath as he took in the crime scene. "The town watch will handle it," he scoffed to himself. This looks like more than a town watch can handle.

He wasn't taking any chances, he knew he had to protect himself. Judging from the gruesome scene, simply shutting a house door was not enough. He made a beeline for the town smithy.

[Arthor]

Arthor woke up to sounds of commotion outside his little shack. He walked to his makeshift basin and splashed some water into his face and washed sleep from his eyes. He rushed to look outside his boarded up window he saw the Mayor's house. I see the he's been painting, I'm not sure who got him that red, but I could use a dash to spruce this joint. He could almost hear the birds chirping outside. Such a beautiful day it is, I should go out and see what sort of adventures I can find. Smiling he turned and dressed in a hurry.

Such a beautiful day indeed.
