Hmm, Tholen must have targetted someone for a kill, why would he not? But he wasn't guarded, and certainly no one was healed. So the one option left is that he did indeed target Pran and managed to kill himself.
The question "why PC for the kill?" does indeed ask itself. I was going to make a case based on it, but...
1) we have a statement that a possession didn't work that ties in here;
2) no counter-claim when it makes sense to do one if you can and ST was taken.
I guess my analysis of the mess on this side of the fence is:
1. I'm town and can't discuss my contract.
2. PC, based on Korbas' claim, is probably less scummy than Korbas, Karatallid or Korvalain.
Now, we have the following.
Anthras - forcefield
Okaros - Cryo? used on Korvalain per Korv's claim. Ties in with Okaros being unable to take a contract.
Ryll - no clue what he holds, but CI.
Hentos - Venesara suspected Hentos to be holding Chronokinesis and it hasn't been counterclaimed.
Pran Chole - held ST, which wasn't counter-claimed, dropped it since.
Karatallid - claimed a guard for nights 2 and 3
Korvalain - refuses to talk about contracts, period. Claims he's frozen.
Korbas - claims he held Possession, current contract unknown.
Contracts taken, and here is where it gets interesting:
Serial Killer contract.
Forcefield - holder suspected to be in group 1 (Anthras)
Chronokinesis - holder suspected to be in group 2
Cryokinesis - holder suspected to be in group 1 (Okaros)
Possession - previous holder known... current holder unknown.
Information Absorption - held, player has to vote. Current candidates: Korbas voting for Karatallid, Hentos voting for Korvalain, probably group 2.
Hormonal Attraction - held, holder unknown but seems likeliest to be town.
Shapeshifting - held, holder unknown
Rupture Organs - held, holder unknown.
Players who dropped contracts:
Korbas (Possession, now ?)
Pran Chole (Spatial, now ? )
What interests me, is Shapeshifting.
I guess whomever picks it up is either town, willing to prove it over their corpse, or it's scum who is afraid of finds on them.
It doesn't make sense for anyone in group 1 to be holding this contract, as they won't vote and it would mean a townie blowing themselves up.
Right now, I think the scum taking it makes the most sense, capitalizing on group 2 wanting to lynch.
In the second case, not voting might be best, either way, we get a lynch.
Remove vote.
