Guess we'll find out if/when they try to lynch me.


Well.
I dunno.

Vote Karosis
You have confessed you are not in my faction.

Wow, they're building a veritable...um, empire, in the Nepeth Empire tile.

I had to chuckle at Karosis' punishment by PS ^_^ But at least its started seeing some definite sides being formed. Good stuff.

I'm afraid it turns out I won't be around very much today, at least for the next few hours. At the moment I'm not sure which way to lean (and damn, I was certain Karosis would be Khanate!). It seems at the moment that none of the available options are worth lynching, as they all are probably protected in some way.

Oooh fancy quest! I wonder if the trigger was that it appears as soon as a 3-way alliance is made?

Oh, incidentally, I will say it right now, I AM Guild of Beggars. I invite all my guild pals to vote me so as not to give yourselves away. A lynch will not be successful against me.

* mutters something about not being very lenient with reveals... *

"Khalif, there is a man here claiming he belongs to the Guild of Beggars!"
"I assume he has been apprehended?"
"He is currently under interrogation in the cellars, my Khalif."
"Don't be too hard on him. Habbas!"
My champion arrived, a slab of muscle, as dependent as a stone. "My Khalif?"
"Lead the guard out into the city. Escort the miscreant in the dungeons home, see he arrives there safely and place him under guard. No-one goes in, or out. You stay with him, if he does so much as move, kill him. Send the city guards to every cross-road. Round up everyone claiming allegiance to one faction or another. This city will NOT become a battleground. Make clear that harsher penalties await those who copy this foolishness."

Karosis is guarded until the end of the day/night cycle.


Actually, if you read the text here, P-S deliberately does not confirm that Karosis is actually a member of the Guild of Beggars. He says someone "claimed" to be of a faction. So Karosis could actually be lying. I'm assuming here that P-S is treating fake reveals just like real ones, since there's no way to prove one way or the other on thread if it's true.

I think the quest was for whenever NP allies.
Because it seemed like a quest for the assassin faction.

Seems kinda rigged towards priestly types with the magic and worship requirements though I guess those types might not have weapons.

Have you seen the weird shaving of black marble on the market? What's up with that? Was that just a mistake?

Looks like it was up for 0 dinari then crossed out and now up for 500 dinari

That's alot of water in Bazaar.
And another Black marble.
Maybe 2 players have already completed the quest?

Seems weird that the quest would become available on thread after players have already completed it. I think there's just other sources of black marble thingies. I wonder what they do?

I imagine they're prolly used for scrolls in the dark ziggurat, or for some faction specific buildings maybe?

No, it's like in the Night Shrine description. Someone took it for zero dinari, PS rolled a die, and came up with a number which meant the item was put back on the market for 500 dinari.

That makes sense. I wonder what the White Marble is then since you only get it on a roll of six. Maybe you kill everyone with a black marble? ^_^

I'm reviewing the Quest rules since I pretty much ignored them before. Interesting tidbits:

8. All Quest Objectives must be fulfilled in order of listing.
9. You can fulfill only one Quest Objective per phase.
