    Soli-chan - is there any sort of catastrophe that would happen if you were scried by a circle or examined by the Technotheologian? Feel free to transmit the answer privately if you aren't comfortable revealing that publicly.

    The Priestess stared at Nute.

    "...Catastrophe?"
  3. Equis Armchair Designer

    Sounds fine mate.

    I'll Join ya. (Kohei) in yer circle.

    Not like I did much circle casting last time round, and looks like no one be needing my services elsewhere. Thankfully.

    Just covering all the bases, your SpacePontiffness. I might not have the skill at deduction that some of y'all have, but I'm pretty good at recognizing one thing when I see it - traps. And Fontaine's sacrifice just gave me some pertinent details.

    On the off chance that anything gets decided while I am gone, I will just state my intention to meet with Nebty tonight.
  6. AaronSofaer Magister Mundi Elyscape

    I'll channel in soundly's circle tonight.
  7. Soli-chan Magister Mundi Elyscape

    There was a strange expression trying to work itself out from behind the mask of control Soli'Sturm had as she spoke up. "Certainly. For one, I'd consider it a catastrophe to allow the cultists a few more nights to do their deeds by re-confirming me. As we have barely the members to fill two circles such an action would only delay knowing the alignment of those still uncertain to us. Working methodically to clear these first should be our goal, it only follows logically. Further, as I understand it, my special abilities would no longer be active if the collective community knows my role. Granted, only the people casting in the scrying circle would be aware and perhaps there would be no need tell everyone everything since it's enough to know I'm innocent but then again, that is precisely the reason I met with soundlyParanoid and redoing this is just stupid. But all this said, I certainly do intend to cast in a circle having healed enough to lend my strength."

  9. Sarkus Hard Cider Gal

    Lazy has already announced his intention to meet with Nebty tonight and as he was first to make that declaration I can certainly see him taking precedence. However, there is another very good reason for me to meet with Nebty beyond just confirming my allegiance to the side of Good. I'd rather not say any more. So I leave it up to Nebty and the rest of you to decide a) whether Lazy or I should meet with Nebty tonight and b) whether you want me to be public as to why I am a better choice.

    I formally intend to meet with Nebty tonight.

    I will join Soundly's circle tonight then. May I request that Bladida joins us to fill hte fifth spot?
    Sarasha, Kie and Fontaine like this.
  11. Lazy Shiftless Bastard Despondent Fancybear

    Is there some reason why this is suddenly a pressing matter today?

    Also, given that we have the same number of people minus Fontaine as we did last night, is there also some reason why we have people wildly offering to start circles instead of having Turin and Anabanana lead them again?

    I should add let alone Kohei leading a circle, when he has less to vouch for him than almost anyone else left here.

    The Priestess nervously alternated her gaze between the large imposing cyborg and the tentacled being who both desired to meet with her that night.

    "I, um, I am not sure how to decide."

  13. Equis Armchair Designer

    Fellas fellas, we could settle this with a vote.

    Personally, I think Lazy should go meet with the Priestess. No surprise there since I healed Sarkus and voted for the bastard yesterday.

    But Lazy brings up a good point. Kohei ain't exactly on the trustworthy list right about now. So tell you guys what.

    I'll lead a circle of scrying.

    I'll be asking Soli-chan, and Nute to join me, since I trust'em, and if they ain't doing anything else tonight. And then it'll be either Kohei, Sarkus, Anxifera or AaronSofaer to join us. Any two of yer.

    Once we have a full circle, I'll tell Nute the target, and we'll get to circling.

    Now, if there's a bunch of you who don't trust me. Fine. Great. Then, maybe Nute or Soli can lead the circle, since they're confirmed good. But I think it'll be smart idea to split the circle between those trustworthy, and those that ain't really. Narrow our choices down and all if the circle fails.

    "You want me to join you in a circle again? If I didn't know any better it would sound like I was starting to grow on you." She grinned. "Alright, I'll join SoundlyParanoid's circle. And Priestess?" She walked closer towards her fellow Dove. "Take care of yourself, alright? If you're no longer here, who's going to boss me around?" She softly nudged Nebty's arm.

  19. Equis Armchair Designer

    Well gents, here's what we have so far...

    Circle 1 - Scrying
    SoundlyParanoid - Leading, (Good)
    Anabana - Following (Good)
    Chance - Following (unknown)
    TurinTuramba - Following (Good)
    Bladida (Good)

    Circle 2 - Scrying
    Kohei - Leading (unknown)

    Circle 3 - Scrying
    Equis - Leading (unknown)
    Nute - Following (good)
    Cormac - Following (good)
    Dazzler - Following (good)

    Soli-Chan (good) hasn't picked a circle yet, but I hope she returns the favor and joins her fellow ravens.

    Nebty has a choice between Sarkus and Lazy Shiftless Bastard. I personally think it should be Bastard, but let's see how that shakes out.

    That leaves,

    Anxifera (unknown)
    Demon G Sides (Good)

    We'll have enough for two circles, be it scrying or protection. Playing it smart would be to split the circle between 3 known light-siders and 2 unknowns. Targets will of course, be kept on the down low eh? That way, if the circle fails, we got a smaller set of targets to worry about.

    Nebty has to take a risk and meet privately with one of the other unknowns.

    The big monkey wrench though is that we'd be vulnerable for a night, for these secret cultist to misbehaving, and taking out any one of us.

    If on the other hand, one of you guys wants to get a protection circle going, I'd be happy to join, but I also suggest we get the confirmed good guys, like Nute, Cormar and Soli-chan in. It'll be slow going, and we might lose someone, but least we'll keep Nebty around.

    EDITED: updated for new information, gents. Too lazy to write another post!

    "Dude, I was confirmed last night, or didn't you hear the news? I'll gladly cast in your circle, Equis, if you'll have me; however, if you don't trust the priestess's verdict, just let me know and I'll find something else to do."

  22. Cormac Oh, Come On

    Thanks for the recap Equis, but you missed that Turin was confirmed good by our scry on the first night. Also I think only those who have been confirmed by a scry to lead circles! Even though Nebty has been very helpful about identifying alignment, there is still no proof that she might not be playing all of us for fools...

    Otherwise I will join the circle 3 scry.

    Since there are only two circles (Kohei stopped leading his), and she says she's willing to cast in whatever circle needs it, I think we can assume that your circle is full, Equis.

    It has nothing to do with Lazy. There is just an additional benefit to the side of Good if we meet that does not apply to a meeting with Lazy.

    And I'll consider Soli for mine since she said she'll do anyone's. Hopefully, we'll clear some of the unknowns left.

    Seems most of the light is accounted for anyway, only a matter of time fore we find the remaining cultists.

    Because he volunteered, and he's the Healer. Which would lean towards him being good. And the fact that there's four confirmed Good people in the circle watching to see if it succeeds will make any shenanigans evident.

    Hmm.. Though you do realize that if he is evil, he could use the circle to kill someone as well, right? Though that would obviously make him an obvious choice to sacrifice tomorrow.
