Because that would assume that Melody is already at 1 HP after these attacks, which we can't confirm.
And killing someone for being quiet is a bit odd, I mean I have like 5 posts and only 2 are even close to contributional but I don't see a bandwagon and my name (which there shouldn't be FYI)

Edit: I have 11 posts in this thread.... nevermind

Zeffy has been slain.​
 
Cool

let's see what happens
 
AROUND THE CAMPFIRE - 2​
The clashing of steel on iron and metal on stone echoed through the Dungeon.

Combatants were striking blows as hard as they could at one another, friend against friend, foe against foe. Some simply swung the same way as others told them to. Others saw opportunities to weaken their enemies and struck. It was chaos.

Finally the Heroes pushed forward, past the chaos, running down a long, moss-covered hallway. They turned left, then right, then right again, before crashing through a door which revealed a giant cathedral. The Priest rushed down the pews and bent his knees at the alter. The rest of the party tried their best to bolt the door and secure it from the Darkness that had undoubtedly followed them. They heard footsteps, shrieks, and a slithering as the door was slammed hard with force. The beasts finally gave up and they heard them falling back.

A sigh of relief met the party before many sat down to catch their breath, drink water, or tend to minor wounds. The Crusader bent down and prepared kindling for a fire. The Grave Digger had dragged a corpse in with them, the body of Zeffy, who had collapsed somewhere in the Darkness. He had been lashed and cut deeply and it was hardly obvious what or who he was by now. Another body had been dragged in: that of Arsonist, who had fallen early in the fighting of the day. The Grave Digger pulled out his shovel and began to dig. Friend or foe...his job was to bury them.

The Giant sat near the back of the room, slumped over and somber. Despite its inclinations to crush and smash, it had received no punishment this day. It peered at its still-fresh wounds from the day before, then grumbled and laid down to slumber.

The Bounty Hunter and Hound Master sat nearest to the barred door, discussing their options. Today could have ended much differently, but now things were left to the Darkness. They could only hope it did not swallow them all.

Outside of the cathedral, the Shambler lumbered its way through an old tunnel. It did not choose the side of man or beast. It only hungered. And tonight...would prove fruitful.

I have made a couple errors in damage counters in my last post. Please standby on the damages listed while I update them. My spreadsheet didn't save several of the inputs, so I missed a few.

I apologize for the mistake!

EDIT: All fixed now!

IN THE DUNGEON - 3​
The Grave Robber dug next to the Grave Digger. One buried Zeffy, clothing him in fabrics, while the other exhumed the corpse of Arsonist. The Grave Robber inspected the body.

She pulled herself from the grave and began shoveling dirt back into it, having learned plenty from the body.

The Grave Digger said a silent prayer for Zeffy as he scooped dirt upon the body, but neither of the two was bothered by the other. They worked in semi-unison by now, each piling dirt into the graves, but a chill greeted them. A chill the Grave Robber knew too well by now. She wheeled around, swinging her shovel at the Necromancer, but the shovel didn't even phase the foul Evil. The Grave Digger screamed in terror, running from the scene. The Necromancer swept down and pressed its hooded face over the now-decomposing mouth of Zeffy. An inhaling sound echoed through the silence, but the Grave Robber stood resolute. She wanted to see what the Darkness was truly capable of.

When the Necromancer rose, it glowed with a new power. It swept away into the Dungeon. It had business elsewhere and it was quite ready to feast.

In the cathedral, the Heroes were sound asleep. A few remained awake, doing their duties. The Jester played his mandolin over two sleeping bodies, quietly soothing their minds, as the Man-at-Arms stood above some others.

At the altar, a man prayed deeply. Despite his plans, this journey into the Dungeon had been a nightmare come true. There was no hope for safety or security in this foul place. He had to escape.

When it was most quiet, he slid the barricades from the door and slowly pushed it open. He was greeted by a sickening silence. The Darkness was deeper than ever, but he grabbed hold of a torch and inched out. He began walking, but turned back. Contemplating for a time, he decided the Heroes were beyond saving and letting them be ambushed would save them from the inevitable.

He stepped past a pile of bones and a strange ooze into a wider hall before considering the directions they had ran earlier. A chill made the hair on the back of his neck stand up and he gasped out loud at the soulless creature before him. The Necromancer and its Acolyte stood before the man, who fell backwards to the cobbles.

"Aaaand nowwwww you dieeeee," hissed the Necromancer, as it slashed its claws upon the man's throat. The Acolyte held his mouth as blood gushed forth from the wound.

An echoing slither came from the Darkness further back. The Acolyte let go of the dying man and ran in the opposite direction.

"It ssssseeemssss you belongggg to anotherrrrrr." The Necromancer disappeared into the Darkness after its follower.

A sliding noise crept closer to the man clutching his throat. Coughing blood, he came face-to-face with the Shambler. It was a lumbering and terrible creature, whose sharp fangs oozed with blood and a purple puss. The dying man shut his eyes, prepared for death, as the long fangs sunk deep into his body.

The Shambler feasted on the corpse, paying no heed to the clattering hooves behind it. A stab of pain shot through its back as it fled from its meal, cursing the ones who had struck it. A faint oinking could be heard as it fled deeper into the Dungeon.

Back in the cathedral, all of the Heroes were fast asleep as a creeping creature crept in through the door left ajar. The Hag tiptoed past the sleeping bodies as it laid a kiss upon the face of one among them. She lifted the body upon her shoulder and pushed the door open again.

"My pretty morsel, you will make for an excellent stew," she cackled at the now-comatose Hero. She stuck her blade into her victim, slicing some flesh from their leg. She licked her lips and dropped the body unceremoniously, cackling once more.

Only she ran into something and fell over.

The Bloodletter and his gang stood before her, grinning broadly.

"What have we here, boys?" asked the Bloodletter. "Seems this pretty lady's gotten herself lost."

The two other chuckled and drew their knives, smiling.

"Now, now, boys... we have other arrangements this night. This one can enjoy my whip."

The Bloodletter drew forth his bloodied and spiked whip, lashing the Hag across the face. She shrieked in pain, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Curse you, foul ones!" she yelled as they walked past her, towards the cathedral. She threw her sack of flesh at them, but it was too late. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she expired.

The Bloodletter and his minions, the Thug and the Cutthroat, had found the cathedral entrance. The Cutthroat went in, as the smallest and quietest, and returned with their victim, bound and gagged.

The victim was awake, struggling at the binds that held him, looking in terror at the three masochists.

"Boys...have some fun," said the Bloodletter, unleashing his second whipping of the night upon the man. The other two then began to kick and punch him as his muffled screams tried to pierce the deafening silence.

Okay guys, can people stop attacking me at night? I don't really want to role reveal - but obviously just staying silent means I'm going to get slowly worn down each night.

I'm the Crusader and I literally have no Night Actions. The tradeoff is that (as I stated earlier) my attacks do more than average (albeit not by much, lol). I'm RR'ing in hopes that the MAA is willing to allow me to be one of the three people he protects. I'm sick and tired of some dirt bag attacking me every night and I don't even know who/what/how because it never gets mentioned. ><
 
Well now that Absol is dead, we can no longer get a safe vote anymore.

I guess it's time to be a lot more cautious...
 
Alright guys, here's a few talking points.

- Zehn seems to have been truthful about his claim yesterday. Gonna go right ahead and FOS everyone who attacked him: Cheshire Cat, Mana and aeternum. Worth noting that I've already called out Bac before.

- I took a long shot last night by following Etherion, but didn't get a report. Again, this doesn't necessarily clear her.

- I have no idea now what role Arsonist was, I was sure he had to be the Thug but that's still alive. So I went back over the post to look for clues... and I think we've all missed something really important. 38 roles to 38 players. Everyone is now a PR.

- When the post was made, two players were dead. There are also two roles on the list with a red -0 next to their names, the Oculus and Vestal. Is this maybe Klippy's way of hinting that those roles have died? The -0 could represent burying them.

First off, its a he :) And second, are you following me to see if I visited someone last night? If so, I didn't visit anyone ^^

I remember absol saying she used her ability on Melody, and that would leave her with 1 HP if she was to die. My guess is Melody was the Hag, someone attacked her last night and she lost her remaining 1 HP. So the -0 means something else, if I'm right.

Nah, they're still alive. Either they were hit by an action that does no damage for whatever reason, or they were healed for the same or more amount of HP than damage they took.

I don't think it shows which roles are dead though unless they're officially confirmed. I haven't seen any roles disappear from that list yet. So it's still possible he was the Thug. Or he could have been the Brawler, that's also a possibility.

I'm pretty confident Melody was the Hag, based on what Absol said. All the facts seem to match up with her claim, like Christos said.
