With two members of the Order of the Shaper gone, nerves run high as the monks feel each remaining member could be one of them.
Eventually, the discussion settles upon two individuals. One claims to be so paranoid that everyone he sees is scum. The other claims to be a nobody, an average Joe in the cloister.
Each person slowly begins to take a stand on one side of the line or the other... murderous glances are shared between both supporters' camps.
Late in the day, Mockra appears and sides with Shadow, calling the paranoid man, Kessobahn, a fool and a liar. Liosan, the sole non-voter, stood on his own as everyone watched for what he would do. Even as the votes looked to go to the wire, several people murmured about changing their minds.
Finally, as the sun is about to set behind the horizon, Liosan finally speaks up. "Though I am not convinced of it, I believe that I have no choice but to lynch Brother Kessobahn."
And then a voice from above screams out... and you could swear it sounds just a bit like Patrick Stewart....
THERE. WERE. FOUR. NIGHTS.
A beam of white hot energy crackles down from the sky and strikes Kessobahn. He screams in agony and writhes and when the stream of power disappears... all that remains is ash.
Kessobahn (Morgoth45) was lynched on Day 5. He was of the Order of the Shaper.
A great feeling of relief washes over the monks and suddenly it is clear... the Shapers are defeated!
Shadow smiles and says, "Why on earth would you believe so many clear lies and misspoken words?"
The remaining seven of you go to unlock the gates. As you do so... you notice one Monk unable to speak. He is sweating and suddenly vomits a sickly black mess.
One monk speaks, "H-he carries the mark of the Shaper! Only the Shaper's minions would emit such foulness!"
The teachings come back to you and it is true. This man is not one of you. He is expelled, forever unable to rejoin the Path.
Ruse (DKT) has been expelled. He was working with the Order of the Shaper.
With a smile from everyone, the Masks are brought back out. Everyone goes to put theirs back on, knowing the only thing to do next is to pick a new leader.
Someone speaks up, "How about that Shadow guy? He did have everything right."
