Spoiler: Intro - Original Roster Locations

Dawn broke over the Salisbury Plain, bathing the green fields in a yellow light. In the center of the expanse, a small ring-like earthen mound could be seen, encasing a taller circular structure made of large tree trunks and adorned with mistletoe. As the rays hit the large branches and illuminated the center, a tall woman in gossamer robes lifted her hands to the sky. Slowly, the light began consolidating and crackling unnaturally around her outstretched palms until the air was thick with the smell of ozone and the sunlight bent in ribbons around her.

Morgaine opened her eyes wide in apprehension. They were here. Or at least-- they would be. Her sense of time was distorted since she last set foot in the circle. It could have been a thousand years in Avalon or ten, but the years and distance did not matter now. Only the direction of time was important for her current task.
She bent her head in concentration and pushed the dawn's energy out through the trees, sending it coursing across the countryside in a radiant pattern like spokes on a wheel.

"Let it be enough," she whispered.

View attachment 333606

From the southern white cliffs of Dover to the mottled heather on the northern moors, a blanket of peace descended upon England's green and pleasant land. A quiet night, a chance for contemplation, inquiry and repose in anticipation of the struggles to come.

____

In London, the new Prime Minister stepped out of the coach in front of 10 Downing Street -- and with shoulders squared and a very deep breath -- proceeded through the front door.
____

Somewhere in the forest of memory, a slight-framed boy in a page uniform jogged through a dappled wood, muttering under his breath as he ran. As he weaved through a grove of large oak trees, a beam of focused sunlight caught his eye, reflecting off an object with what looked like a glint of metal. Curious, he stopped running and walked towards the clearing. Situated under the beam of light was a sword embedded deep into a boulder. How odd, the boy thought to himself, but how convenient! He grasped the hilt with both hands and braced his foot against the stone. As he gave a yank, the sword slid so easily out from its resting place that he toppled backwards, his gangly legs tripping over roots and dried leaves, and he fell in a twisted heap. As he stood, he hefted the blade and tried out a swing. The sword was too large for him to easily wield, but felt warm in his grip as he shifted it from one hand to the other. He tested the edge and instantly slit the skin on his thumb. Not even a dulled edge from the weather, he puzzled. No matter-- he was already late in getting back, and there would be hell to pay if he didn't sprint. He took off in the direction from whence he came, the sword tucked awkwardly under his arms as he ran.

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
A count for votes is off by sleight of hand,
The search for mayor blocked by a queen,
We pray she still rules strongly o'er the lands

Alas, monarchy falls when wolves abound
Long slender teeth want not for greens nor tortes
When hunger strikes it's village they surround
And queens cannot rule lands with empty courts

Here documented is an ode to death,
A humble shroud of flesh and blood and ink,
Upon the stage, here each our own MacBeth
Who occupied this skull in hand, you think?

Today as night falls fast the games begin
And now the challenge: who is foe or kin?

DAY ONE


Sherwood Forest, once a tranquil retreat, was anything but quiet now. The annual archery contest had gone bad when Prince John and his trusty Sheriff, in an uncharacteristic moment of inspiration, had seen through Robin's (admittedly rather flimsy) stork disguise. The warrant for his capture was ...some obscene amount of money that makes sense to animated creatures from the 1300s... and his reveal had set off a wild chase through the forest. Shots flew in all directions!

~

Robin nimbly ducked and dodged, but this time his luck had run out, and Nutsy's arrow struck him straight through the heart. Poor little Skippy looked on in horror as his idol tumbled down an embankment into the nearby lake.

The hat was much too big for him... how could he replace the Prince of Thieves?

It had been a frustrating day for Lilibet. Things had gotten all together uncivilized, and despite her desire to pour everyone a proverbial cup of calming tea (so they could carry on), her blasted teapot had gone missing. Unfortunately, the security in Buckingham Palace has always been a little lacking, to say the least. An intruder broke in again and murdered the monarch in her bed.

A drunken bard wandered through the streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon with a skull in his hand, wondering when he was going to finally start getting some recognition for his art, gosh darn it.
He was found the next morning behind the Midsommer set with a large gash in his side. As he gasped, he cried out: "No, ’tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but ’tis enough, ’twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a wolf, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death!

Kin parry not by sword but vicious tongue
Beware a player, not a man backstage

Cast eyes away from sound for evil yields
For mules all bray when told to pull the cart
Yet beasts are still of use to till the fields
Bare soil is grown by hands that fake their part

Your clues to me are nat'rally finite
I genuflect alike for kings and queens
The players are both me and what I write
Yet here this tale is not my hand, it seems

But: look you wide for your poetic source
Have secrets shared, but from you divorced

But players, violence doth only violence beget
So though death may anon at the cut of the knife
The spirits untamed may laugh still yet
For I will have poetry in my life.

DAY 2

View attachment 333900

The scientist was worried. He had recently published a work describing the principles of a new celestial wonder, gravitas, in which he postulated that this force governed the path of the Earth itself. The idea was radical, that he knew. But his previous theories had been met with much praise in the rest of the learned community. Not so today, unfortunately. Accusations of witchcraft and heresy bounced back and forth, ricocheting off of the walls of Trinity College. The words turned to objects (where were all these blasted apples coming from??) and eventually, Sir Isaac was pummeled to death by those very souls entrusted to uphold the rule of law.
~
His colleagues were filled with despair. How could the globe continue to spin without their friend? When he was buried in Westminster Abbey, they composed an epitaph befitting one of the greatest minds the world has ever known:

"Here is buried Isaac Newton, Knight, who by a strength of mind almost divine, and mathematical principles peculiarly his own, explored the course and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, the tides of the sea, the dissimilarities in rays of light, and, what no other scholar has previously imagined, the properties of the colours thus produced. Diligent, sagacious and faithful, in his expositions of nature, antiquity and the holy Scriptures, he vindicated by his philosophy the majesty of God mighty and good, and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel in his manners. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race!"

"That's what I've been telling you all along," said the Eighth's creation.
"Alright then, back to the future," decided Eleven.

They stepped into the slightly battered police box and powered up. Suddenly, though, sparks flew as a portion of the control panel went up in octarine flames. "Oh come on, don't do this to me now!" exclaimed Ten, mashing buttons in whichever order seemed most appropriate (although who could really say what the round things do). The blue column mostly stabilized after it flickered for a moment.

Into the future they went...but at least one person was left behind. Frightfully glitchy in a splinch, these contraptions.

Between the years of 1888 and 1891, a killer walked the streets of Whitechapel. The five murders attributed to his name, while gruesome, do not reflect the full body count, nor the scale of terror he inflicted on the London populace. At the height of his killing spree, he took to taunting law enforcement with surreptitious missives such as the one above -- thought by modern criminologists to have been intentionally written at a lower level of literacy in a chilling attempt at misdirection.

For years, the Ripper avoided capture. Through the relentless pursuit of law enforcement he was eventually brought to justice... although in the darkest quiet corners of their hearts, those who were involved in the investigation found themselves, on occasion, wondering if their break in the case hadn't come at the expense of something else.

A figure stood on a faraway parapet, voluminous robes whipping in the wind. There was a loud shout, although the wind swept away most of the word itself so the exact command could not be distinguished. For a few moments, all was quiet. After a time, a high pitched humming sound could be heard from the south. Through the morning mists, a shining metal object hurtled through the air across the countryside at nearly the speed of sound, flying straight and true in the direction of the tower.

In Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty the Queen was happily anticipating the arrival of a shipment of exotic fruit from India. Her dearly trusted advisor, Abdul, had extolled the virtues of a delicacy called "mango," and she simply could not wait to try one. The previous shipments had arrived rotten, but there was hope that this recent crop would allow for perfect ripening in transit, and so when the crates arrived, the Queen almost attacked them with glee. She ate one, and found it so delicious that she immediately ordered another one sliced and prepared for consumption. Half-way through the second mango, she thought to herself that this one tasted perhaps a bit off...and before she could finish the thought, she was on the ground in the throes of a convulsive fit. Should have waited for the royal taste testers...

A traveler arrived in London only to see that they appeared to be the only one going into the city -- everyone else seemed to be in quite the hurry to get out. While crossing London Bridge, the traveler was almost trampled flat by two highly decorated carriages racing to depart the city center. Through the thin veils covering the backs of the carriages, the wanderer could see the outlines of regal figures shrouded in black. A plague doctor followed them solemnly but swiftly on horseback, as if to mark them as next in line... for the grave.

Pamphlets have been released from the office of the Prime Minister declaring that an evil pestilence has begun to spread through the City of London. There has already been at least one death, and it seems more are on the horizon.
The full method of transmission is unknown.

The city mourned the loss of one of their greatest heroes, who had succumbed to the miasma overnight. The flags were lowered to half mast as the citizens crowded into Westminster Abbey for the state funeral. They had lost a great leader, a living institution, a symbol of Britain's uncompromising resolve. It would never be the same in Parliament again.

"The Brontë name is synonymous with melancholic melodrama!" "What a disappointing fake!" The character hung her head in despair.

NIGHT FIVE

I wanted to end the world, but I'll settle for ending yours.

He dipped around a corner, pressed his back to the wall, and listened for the footsteps to continue on into the night ahead of him. Good. He hadn't been heard. He peered out and watched his person of interest bow their head to the wind and shove their hands in their pockets. He followed again, keeping enough distance to not be noticed, but close enough not to lose the trail. The figure stopped in front of a flat not far from his own on Baker Street. He knew who lived here. He ducked into the shadows across the street, watching for his neighbor to come to the door.

At that moment he got a phone call. A familiar, voice on the other end, soft and yet full of taunting malice.

"Meet me on the roof. You know where. You have one hour, but do hurry. People's lives are depending on you, and that is something you care about, isn't it?"

The call ended before he could reply. He looked at his phone, thought about calling John. But no. This was likely a trap, and he didn't want John in it.

You once called your brain a hard drive. Well say hello to the virus.

Half an hour later, he was standing on the roof of Richard Brook Hospital. Moriarty stood opposite him, grinning.

"This is where we solve our final problem, Sherlock. Have you been reading the papers? They're saying you've been a fraud this whole time. I wonder how that must feel."

"What have you done?"

"Nothing you can't remedy. See, all I need is for you to die, and then your loved ones will be safe."

"And I am to take your word for it?"

"What choice do you have?"

John Watson pushed his way past the crowd in front of the hospital. Whispered voices, broken phrases reached his ears through his panic.

"Did you see-"
"Someone said --"
" --erlock ---"

He finally broke through, saw a twisted and bloodied body loaded onto a gurney, fair skinned and dark-haired.

Two people sat in a glen discussing their next move. "PROTEGO MAXIMA," spoke the smaller of the two, and a shield charm went up around her larger companion.

Back in her office in the Ministry of Magic, Hermione sat down in the large leather chair with a sigh. Crookshanks jumped up on the desk, purring and pushing his orange face into her hand. She absent-mindedly stroked his long fur as she worried about the fate of her friends. She wasn't sure the shield charm would hold. Deep in thought, she was startled by a dreadful ripping noise coming from the portrait of the Prime Minister behind her desk. A large figure in a mask climbed through the portrait and knocked her wand to the side, stepping on it and snapping it in two. Hermione raised her hands over her head in an attempt to shield herself, but the blade sliced down with a swift and practiced hand. The attacker re-entered the portrait and disappeared without a word. Crookshanks gave a sad, disconcerted meow and laid down next to his mistress, licking her hand and face to try to revive her. Not even a rushed trip to St. Mungo's could save her now.

In another age, another extraordinary woman studied the military maps in front of her. The campaigns in France had been extremely frustrating. Her advice repeatedly fell on deaf ears while those dolts in charge of her armies in the field continually squandered her soldiers and resources at every turn. It had been a gross miscalculation to continue funneling resources into Rouen. Even worse, she felt sure that the backlash for the failed assaults would come down on her head after this was all over -- though she had been a scapegoat before and knew she could eventually prevail in that fight, at least.
~
As she prepared for bed, there was a commotion in the hallway. Through the shouting, she was able to gather that two people had fought their way through the defenses, although one was gaining ground more quickly than the other. The first intruder forced the door open with astonishing brute strength. Despite her hard, battle worn mind, she was no match for a trained fighter. The sword flashed down and sliced her neck open, although the jewelry stopped it from a clean blow. A second later, he was gone.
~
The second intruder arrived a half a minute later. Through the haze of red and faint blue, she couldn't see his uncovered, lined face as he stared at her with a conflicted expression. He walked over and gently picked the Tudor rose brooch up off of the floor, twisting it slowly around in his fingers in a quiet, troubled manner.

So to me, whoever has excalibur is likely a wolf at this point, since double kill nights ALWAYS had a sword/blade involved in at least one death. Aside from maybe N4 though AM's beheading still sounds like a sword was involved?

Also interesting that every double kill involves a royal, aside from maybe the cray/capri night (unless emma woodhouse is considered royalty?? I haven't seen bridgerton yet..)

Idk, I think it's either LIS/Msp as well, or barks at a long shot.

So I'm going to start with yeeting MsP while I keep reading.

yeet MsP

So to me, whoever has excalibur is likely a wolf at this point, since double kill nights ALWAYS had a sword/blade involved in at least one death. Aside from maybe N4 though AM's beheading still sounds like a sword was involved?

Also interesting that every double kill involves a royal, aside from maybe the cray/capri night (unless emma woodhouse is considered royalty?? I haven't seen bridgerton yet..)

I think I've figured out that there's multiple swords in this game, so I'm not sure if Excalibur is wolfy (especially because it seems to be just an item), but I don't think it's the only one in play

Ah.. darn. Samac mentioned something about your thoughts on excalibur to me which is why I was worrying and went back and looked at all the night flairs, but if that's the case then there goes that theory. To be fair, there is a night with two sword sounding kills... but I wouldn't rule it out purely because it's an item. When I was rereading, Sunshine's writeup specified that a crumb of cheese item was what allowed her to seer, and the crumb of cheese item left the game with her death? Check the D4 writeup.

This is such a quiet close...

 

[Dinashadow]

This is such a quiet close...

The problem is one of our contenders is silenced and the other said he wouldn't be on the rest of the day due to work

 

[Dinashadow]

honestly I'm happy for a close with no waffles

 

[Cyndia]

Ah true. I get so paranoid that there are no wolves up for yeet when it's this quiet, but it's hopefully just that.

curious that MsP left her vote on cyndia

 

[samac]

I would have waffled my ass back to MsP if I would have known it was an option. Alas.... patients.

 

[holdthemayo]

Me too. Cynd's role claim fits with the game.

And it's hard to imagine Dr. Who being a wolf, tough I'll admit I haven't seen many episodes.

I'm voting her tomorrow if the game is still happening.

There's definitely a wolf with a sword and idt Dr. Who would carry a sword

 

[Dinashadow]

Okay but what are we going to do if LIS has some kind of royal death avoidance because he's a wolf royal?

We need to consider the 3 possibilities then. One where LIS just has an avoidance, one where LIS is a alpha wolf and there's another wolf, and one where LIS has an avoidance and MsP is a wolf.

I guess there's a vague possibility that MsP is a wolf and LIS is just a MALE village royal (which I highly doubt) but he won't be around after tonight if that's true considering the royal killer is not dead.

Care to explain?

 

[Barkley13]

Sooo yes probably royal but could still be a wolf

 

[Dinashadow]

He's just going to tell us he's a royal and that he told us so lol

 

[Cyndia]

He's just going to tell us he's a royal and that he told us so lol

Yeahhh that's my guess.

Well we'll see what happens overnight and that's going to decide my vote between them tomorrow.

I'm just hoping there are no more double kills

 

[Cyndia]

I'm just hoping there are no more double kills

There were two kills last night so I'm worried that's probably going to happen again.. I feel like it's probably going to be yolo tomorrow.

 

[Dinashadow]

There's a chance that LIS is an alpha and MsP is the other wolf, but 6 wolves with an alpha and all the extra kills seems less likely than him being a male wolf royal who could kill female royals.

 

[Dinashadow]

Yeah one of those kills was not wolf linked, that's why I knew MsP didn't do it

 

[samac]

Wat

 

[Dinashadow]

Wat

Like I said Excalibur is an item, it doesn't have an affiliation associated with it. There's only the affiliation of the person who wields it

But you’re sure it was used last night?

@samac : Has a unique camo ability and is primarily a herbivore. What pings me as weird is that she kept asking for people's location to see if they belong where they are, but my results tell me she doesn't belong in London herself. The fact that she doesn't belong in in London is weird, but the fact that she's a herbivore has me reading her village. I think Lis might potentially be an alpha (this explains bread's role) which means there's one more wolf left. I'm thinking Cyndia

We're doomed tomorrow btdubz

It makes more sense that LIS is a royal because this game has been full of royals and we know they have avoidances. Why are we jumping to alpha wolf? Wasn't it LIS who coined the rule "if it doesn't die once kill it again"? Maybe we should follow that

Also she doesn't belong in London. She started somewhere else but was moved there after her PM win

We're doomed tomorrow btdubz

Why do you say that?

Samac doesn't belong in London. She moved there when she became PM.

I'm worred about an alpha as well. Other than you, I'm not sure who the packmate could be. I have good reasons to clear the rest.

Do you not believe Cynd's role claim about Dr. Who? If fits the in game events and Dr. Who seems village to me.

 

[Ms Procrastinator]

¿por qué?

there's likely two more wolves
