MOUNT RABBIT
A rabbit shies away from you as you approach.

Again in the darkness there was a bit of dissention among the Soulless for their choice of a victim. One or two were so thwarted by the failed attack that they refused to speak.

"It will be Summer, then," one stated finally. "She is too observant and might discover too much about us."

The others nodded, if somewhat reluctantly. Again they dispersed, and one headed off to execute the decision, fading through the shadows to appear beside Summer's bed.

The Soulless sneered down at the sleeping Elder and reached out for Summer's own mace propped near the bed and hefted it expertly. In one swift, practiced motion, the weapon was brought down violently, crushing Summer's skull to pulp.

"Where was your precious Guardian there?" the Soulless gloated before vanishing again.

And thus ends the life of Summer and Night 3...

Day 3

Discuss, vote, run around herding sheep!
Or some combination thereof.

(A bit short, but on a random note I just disconnected from Lusternia after being on for 16 hrs and 40 minutes straight. *sway* Ooer!)

This one looks like a different Soulless than before... but Xenthos is looking pretty suspicious. Who goes on the end of a list, anyway?

Night 1: Silvanus dead - light haired
Day 1: Navaryn dead
Night 2: Laysus not dead - tall
Day 2: Nyla dead
Night 3: Summer dead - crushing

IF Navaryn was the light hair, then we can't use that for the other 4.
IF Nyla was the tall, we can't use that for the other 4(3).
IF neither was Soulless, we can still use the tall and light haired.

Presumably, Summer, Laysus, and Silvanus were not Soulless (it'd be rather stupid to kill one of your own, and even in Laysus's sake, you can't know for certain a Guardian is protecting you, and that'd be exceptionally stupid to count on).

People who fit the clues: (note, the clues are not necessarily (but possibly) from the same person).

All three: Eiru and Quidgyboo
Two: Abiella, Annelia, blastron, Sekreh, Shoshanna, Xavius, Xenthos
One: Everyone else except Sylphas.
None: Sylphas.

I'm voting Quidgyboo this round, and Eiru next round.

Someone whose name begins with an X.

I'll vote Quidgyboo for now... but I think it's rather unlikely that the same soulless' features would be picked three times in a row.

Though perhaps it's more possible since at least some of their features have to overlap... meh.

Anything I say here is going to make me look suss but I strongly suggest a seer check me.

Who did I vote for last round? 'Cause I'm sticking with that. I'll go check who it was.

Answer: Xavius

Yes, I want to hear why we shouldn't vote for Xavius...

If you think about it, the probability is actually against it being me or Eiru.

Why kill Summer? She had matched every clue to that point (and, oddly enough, this one too). Why kill someone who will draw suspicion away from you?

I'm not sure who to vote for, someone give me some reasons.

The reasoning for not going for Xavius was because Laysus said "No, I'd prefer you didn't do that," and everyone voting off Nyla instead.

The clues are pretty useless at the moment. Especially because almost every single person fits at least one of them. And even if they don't, that doesn't mean they can't be a Soulless. Between them, the Soulless probably cover every type as well. The clues will only become useful once we've gotten rid of a few Soulless, but of course how are we going to know that it's Soulless we've been killing?

EDIT (Cause I don't like doubleposting): I know that's why we didn't kill Xavius last round, but I don't like blindly following someone else for no real reason, even if I know they're not a Soulless. I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt last round, but I want to know the reasons now. If he was a Seer or something I'd be quite happy to do what he says, but if he's a regular Elder then as far as I can see he's got just as much chance of being wrong about Nyla or Xavius as I or any of the rest of us have. I'd prefer to draw my own conclusions.

Meanie(s)!

Probably because I actually think instead of going BAAAAA!

I'll take a moment to say how wonderfully happy it will make me if you remember to put the name of who you're voting against in bold. Pretty please?

I'll also mention that this game is interesting from the moderator's viewpoint, as well. And it's fun to see that the clues are adding a bit of intrigue. Madness and method!

*urges everyone onwards*

Oh, and:

Summer --> <-- Me

Hmm..only two choices fit all of the clues given so far. Eiru and Quidgyboo. Think I will go with Quidgyboo this time myself.....

*Haunt everyone with dreams of chipmunks mating with alligators*

Too late, it's daytime

Seeing as Quidgyboo's the first out of Eiru and himself to say he's not a Soulless, I'm going with him (It makes sense to me somehow). But if I don't get a reason before tomorrow, I'm voting Xavius tomorrow...

I'd wager you're right, but something tells me that the overlap gives them a miniscule % increase chance of being Soulless, even if the 5 Soulless run the gamut of types.

Hrm...Shoshana offered some nicew clues (or not), I'll just follow her vote this time.
Quidgyboo

OK, this is enough. No more subtlety.

Both seers are in contact with each other. If Laysus' attempt to save my life was a touch too subtle for you, then let me spell it out. I'm one of them. I'm a seer. Those of you who have been scried and verified safe have been contacted.

And here's the best part of all. We've finally confirmed a soulless. Kill Annelia. I'll go brew the hemlock. The rest of you hold her down. And leave poor Quidgy alone.


And I'd really appreciate that guard now.
