The crowds splits and Gamelon enters the centre of the street.
" I am Duncan Shriek! Bow down before me for I am awesome. Also, vote Galain"
"But why shouldn't we vote Mockra?"
"Because Hood's Path is being nasty with Thyrllan!"
"But what about Silanah?"
"Isn't he dead?"
"No, that's Emurlahn."
"Ah.."
Mockra (masterblue) is dead, he was Michael Abrasis and of the People of Ambergris.
The lynch is over quickly. People are already getting ready for the festival. Sharpening weapons or boarding their doors, all depending on what kind of people they are. There's been many stories of the festivals. Many masacres. One remembers the story of Nicholas Sporlender about the unseen watcher who observe the strange dinner rituals of an ancient couple, only to break down their window and slaughter them both. A classic story of the festival, if for this occasion fictional.
What is known is that this is the Festival of the Squid. Hundreds upon hundres of squid are caught, slaughered and eaten in an orgy of quivering flesh and spices. Then, as the food is consumed the festivities begin. And from the festivities come the blood. The murder. The chaos.
The last few years, there's been almost no death. Only a very little blood. People don't truly know whether they feel relived, or disappointed.
Something else is known. After many calm festivals, there is a storm. Which is why the cowardly and the careful board up their doors. It is why the foolhardy, the brave and the insane sharpen their knives, light glinting in their wide and feral grins. This will be a good festival, there's something in the air.
This is the festival. Night is extended by 6 hours to 18. You have two choices. Hide in your home or go out on the streets.
If you hide at home you get a 1 hit bp, but lose all your other night actions for the night.
If you chose to participate, you get 1 vig and can also use any other night action you may have.
The killers, ignorant of the customs of Ambergris get 1 bp between them and retain their killing power.
The Doppelganger remains unchanged.
Send a pm to the mods with your choice.

Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.
