Day Eight

1672978864082.png


First we must reflect on the day, before we can truly understand the night that followed. The sun rose and the traitors realized something: they could overpower the others today, if they played their cards right. Would they sit back, and see where the day would take them? Or would they take the reins, exert their mighty power, and direct things towards their greater purpose?

With the discovery of Yig's dead body still fresh in their minds, Ithaqua came forward with an accusation.
"I walk on the wind, with steps that make no sound, and leave no trace. This keeps me hidden, but sometimes it also allows me to see. And tonight I saw a Night Gaunt approach Yig. I could not see what happened between them, but it seems obvious to me."
The Night Gaunt stepped forward, all black, smooth skin and bat-like wings, hideous paws and a terrible prehensile tail. They were not known to speak, but this one turned to Nodens, someone it thought of as a friend. Nodens nodded, somehow understanding the silent pleas of the creature.
"I believe this one is innocent. We must look elsewhere," he said, brandishing his harpoon at the rest of the group. Two among you I suspect. Only, I am not sure who..."
"I think I've solved it," said Hastur, a crazed look in his eye. "I haven't seen clearly until now. But finally the fog has left my vision, and I know it must be Cthugha."
"Are you sure?" said Yog-Sothoth. "If we are wrong again, I fear we may not get another chance..."
"I am sure," insisted Hastur. "Follow me and you will see."
Cthuga, for his part, tried to resist, but he could see the way things were going to go. But The Burning One would not leave them unscathed.

But, as we now know, Hastur was wrong. And there was...something else. Something none of them had considered. Something about what the Oracle had said, before he died. Something about that one night where they were granted a reprieve from death. Something about the stars realigning...

While they thought on this, Cthulhu spoke, and they all turned to listen. "I grow tire of this back and forth. Who is friend, who is foe. Who is a traitor really, when you are all terrible, spiteful, destructive creates. All of this has shown me what I already knew: none of you are worth my time. I will not choose a side. I do not need any of you."

The others looked at each other, a bit taken aback. Night fell, with only six of the cosmic entitites remaining and, with this latest declaration, it felt more like five...​

Night Eight


1672980315970.png


That feeling of dread? The one you've felt since that night, where the sky was dark, darker than it had been in a very long time, and strange whispers were carried on the wind? That night where you should have rejoiced because it was a night without death, in fact a night of rebirth, but instead you felt a chill in your bones?

Now, at the end of things, let me show you where that dread came from, where it has lived since that fateful night...


Nodens stood beside his remaining friend. His chariot and the terrible beasts that pulled it rested behind him. He thought on all he had seen through the days since the Ascension. How he had grown tired of the old guard, how the new ones, the ones they called traitors had approached him. Was it wrong, to want a little more for themselves? To see that they were superior, and take what was rightfully theirs? What sense did it make for the worship of the humans to be spread so thin, among so many gods, when they could concentrate it between a precious, worthy few?

The previous night had not gone exactly as planned, but they were sly, and resourceful. They had made it work. And now, all they needed was to remove one more from the ranks of those who would stand in their way. Cthulhu had declared himself. They no longer needed to worry about him. And anyone who could protect the others, or prevent their plans, was gone.

"You do the honors," Nodens said to Ithaqua. "You've earned it. Especially since I took the kill last night."
"Gladly," said Ithaqua, whistling for the wind to carry him. And then he stopped. Why should he hide, now, when they were so close to victory? Why bother? "You know," he said to Nodens, "the humans seem so enthralled with these things called guns. Perhaps I can get them to loan me a couple."
Nodens smiled, a horrible thing to see stretch across the face of an Elder God.

Later, after Ithaqua had acquired the necessary weapons, he went in search of Nug. Quiet, and yet perceptive, this god among ghouls had not been so far from the truth as some of the others. Really it was an honor to be the final kill. He aimed, and fired, throwing a little Great Old One power behind the bullets, to make sure they sealed a permanent fate.

"Pewpew, as the humans say," he said to Nodens, and they laughed. The rest would be easy enough now.

Dead is @katykat2222, who was Nug, a village mason

Cthulhu looked on, unconcerned, for he had done all he meant to do in this world, and was sure he could find another to entertain him someday...​

@PlumPoppy don't feel bad, the vig in my noob game shot 4 villagers and only ended up killing one wolf because I (a wolf) accidentally redirected her to do that. You did fine, even if you murdered my son :rage: :biglove:

Yes, as futuredogtor said and I repeated in her death writeup, she could only ask questions about the game setup prior to roles being assigned. At that point, there were 4 wolves. The wolves could choose to give up their kill and convert, or perform an unstoppable, untraceable double kill on night 4.
