The Molag Bal Game XVII

[The-Shadow-One]

One-Shadow emerged from his room with a semi-blissful look on his face, then he heard of the topic of voting. "Dov'Ah once more. Yesterday's coincidence cannot be ignored by this one."

[Musicman247]

"I will stick with my vote for Ba'Lee," Mu said. "Voting for someone who gets only the one vote helps my conscience stay clear."

[Emzi 43]

"I also vote for Do'vah, he may not be a cultist, but something else must have killed duraza, all torn up like that" stuttered Threes

[The SheoDovah]

"Do'vah was attacked yesterday and is not a killer." Do'vah told those that had voted for him. "Do'vah believes he is being framed by the people who attacked him to spread confusion amongst us." He told the others in a sad tone.

[ArgonianDunmer]

"Allow me to throw the nexssst sstone," Runs-with-Dunmer hissed, entering the inn, "My vote hisss for Tatur. I cannot be sure if a killer he iss, but I also cannot find it within myself to trussst him."

[AKB]

Hidden:

Nudging this. This section will likely last longer than usual due to the holidays.

[Aarah]

'Considering Duruza was attacked first and was not a cultist, I feel that this makes Do'vah less suspicious, seeing as he has been attacked too.' Lara said as she thought about him.

'I also find silence a possible sign of guilt, therefore I too vote for M'hras.'

[The SheoDovah]

"Do'vah agrees with Lara." Do'vah commented and sighed. "Do'vah hates what he is about to say but fears that he would be attacked or killed if he refuses to vote." The Khajiit said to the others. "He is unsure who to choose though and believes Mu is innocent due to Do'vah being alive and Lara being alive as well." He said before drinking his morning coffee.

[Dirty Spaceman]

"I don't want to affect your conscience, Mu, but I must vote for Ba'Lee as well," said Darba. "My only 'evidence' is that he voted for me on the first day, but that's more than I have for anyone else."

[Aarah]

Lara replied to Do'vah's comment.
'True, but it would be foolish of Mu to first kill the people staying at his inn, as he would then fall prey to being voted.'

'Not that I'm saying he's guilty.' She added.

[Musicman247]

Mu smiled at Lara as he brought her a sweetroll and some coffee.

[Believe]

Ba'Lee grimaced as first Mu, then Darba both mentioned his name.

"This one finds it odd that you would vote for someone, after this long, simply because I was wrong about you when this began? This one has not suspected either of you again... Until now. However, this is not enough to shake this ones fear that M'hras is a killer. This ones vote stays the same."

[Taters]

Tatur grumbled and scratched his whiskery chin, deep in thought.

"I've said once that I doubt Mu as a cultist, and I stand by that. Such hospitality should not be looked on with a crooked eye. Dovah, for all his faults, I doubt also. As Lara pointed out, we already had one person get attacked but not killed, and he wasn't a cultist. That, and I doubt such an addle-brained addict could kill anyone, let alone with such vigor."

Tatur shuddered involuntarily, thinking about what few remains were left of Duruza.

"I vote for Runs-With-Dunmer. Blood for blood, and all that.", he added, eyeing the Argonian suspiciously.

[Believe]

Hidden:

Bump.

Don't you dare let this die out [&@%!].

[AKB]

Hidden:

Yes, can anyone who has not voted yet do so? I would like to continue the game.

[Taters]

Hidden:

Yeah, I'm gonna be quite annoyed if this is the second MBG in a row that dies from inactivity.

[Musicman247]

"What say the rest of you?" Mu asked. "The sun is not getting any higher in the sky."

[AKB]

Hidden:

I've sent a reminder to you all about the game. I'm going to end this part of the round this time tomorrow, regardless of what has and hasn't been done.

[The-Shadow-One]

One-Shadow looked at them all curious. "This one agrees with Mu, the sun wheels on and the cultists still live!"

[Aarah]

'The ones that shy away from coming to the Inn may be hoping that we forget about them and do not cast votes their way.' Lara said, looking round to see which villagers were absent so far.

[The SheoDovah]

"Do'vah votes for Mhras. He seems to be up to something but hopes that we are right this time." Do'vah said to the others.

[Emzi 43]

Threes looked at Do'vah, and felt the pity that had made him stay and help the village many years ago "I change my vote, to m'rhas" he said

[AKB]

Hidden:

Alright, I'm calling it.

With such a divided decision it took the townsfolk longer to come around to deciding on M'hras. The poor Khajiit was sent to the gallows, without having said a word in his own defense.

M'hras has been lynched by the mob, he was innocent. In addition to being an honest villager, he was also:
The Healer - A talented restoration mage, this character is surprisingly inept at healing magics. Instead, he was famed for his wards and magical shields. He had the ability to shield one other player besides himself at night.

IT IS NOW NIGHT.

[Aarah]

Lara looked sadly at the corpse of M'hras. Another innocent slain, but this time she felt the guilt of having being one who had voted for him.

'Damn it!' she said out loud. 'There must a way to route out you cultists!'
'Five dead and not one have we lynched! Accept Paras, but he was not a full worshipper.'

She turned away from the scene and angrily stomped back towards the Inn.

[The SheoDovah]

"Do'vah is very sad and wishes Mhras was a cultist. Do'vah will go and drown his sorrows now." Do'vah said as he slowly walked to the inn as tears started to roll down his furry cheeks.
