I feel like some here would like to vote for me. But somehow I don’t feel like nominating myself here and now.

And with that all nominations for the day have been accounted for @RossM it has been decided by the people of this town that you be executed.

All hopes for an end to this nightmare lie in the desperate need that it is you who has been terrorising the people.

Let me take a moment to prepare the apparatus of your execution.

Shall I narrate?

Yashima walks over to the gallows. Somehow she holds the saber of the Fortune Teller’s family in her hand. As the ghosts crowd around her, they can see a smear of something on her boots. There is a hint of something red on her trowsers. Is that blood?

“How do you want to die, Ross? Hanged? Beheaded? I feel generous today. How about a cup of this
”

Suddenly, a table appears out of thin air. A glass bowl rests atop the table, a pinkish liquid is inside. There are a few glasses.

“Everyone, please form a line for the punch. But first you, @RossM.” She pours a glass, then pulls a small bag from pillbox’s pocket. How has he moved up so up so quietly without anyone noticing? From the bag she adds a powder to the cup. Then she holds the glass out to Ross. “The ghosts have decided. Drink up and join them.”

@RossM has no choice. His hand moves as if of its own volition. The punch tastes delicious. Death comes quick and painless.

“Well, that was that my friends. Thanks for the wonderful stay in your village. Cheers!” Before she drinks, she glances at pillbox. “You didn’t poison the whole bowl, did you?”

Before he can answer she drinks anyway and laughs maniacally. “To my loyal friend and helper without him none of this would have been possible.” She pulls a plushie raven out of thin air. “Here for your collection. How many is it now? A thousand?”

She raises the glass again.

“And to you my dear townsfolk. You
 you were not prepared. Forgive the Illidan reference. He’s a good friend.”

As she empties the glass, her skin turns purple and a pair of horns grows from her forehead. “Goodbye. It was my pleasure to show you the power of evil.”

In a puff of stinking purple smoke she vanishes and a high pitched cackle can be heard for miles.

Suddenly, Pillbox stands alone in the village square.

@RossM If you wish to narrate this sorry tale from your own perspective I am sure the townspeople would appreciate the insight.

A hollow voice rings in @DJCT’s ear. “I disapprove of this word. If anything
 I am evil!”

And with that, what once was a peaceful town comes to an end. Thank you to our cast for this dire affair, your roles were as follows:

player Role
@pillbox as the poisoner most foul
@yashima As the un-noticed imp
@COMaestro As the last empath you wanted to die
@Captbnut As the drunken fortune teller
@RossM As the monk with the map
@Najim As the obvious virgin
@DJCT As the slayer with the holstered weapon
@Whistle_Pig As the mayor who didn’t deflect

My apologies to everyone I framed. I learned a lot about the power of not giving a 
 about lying, gaslighting or making bad-faith arguments.

I would only have added, bury me with my maker pens!

Loved it, spent the whole time protecting the poisoner!

The main takeaway is that @RossM should never play social deduction games together!

Excellent ending @yashima. I imagine your writing talent was very handy during the game

Edit - just noticed the new title

Maybe @Captbnut should compare notes from my early PMs with you and @COMaestro 

Or maybe not. I’d rather you didn’t actually :stuck_out_tongue:
