Open 330: Masons and Mafia (Game Over, Scum Win)

[silavor]

Welcome to Open 330: Masons and Mafia! This is a Nightless 12-player game that features a special killing mechanic. There are

four mafia

,

four masons

, and

four vanilla townies

. Instead of nightkills, each mafia member may individually send in a private daykill. If the target is a mason, they die, but if the target is a VT, the mafioso dies instead. Both mafia and masons have daytalk (Obvious, since this is nightless, but it needs to be said anyway).

Congrats to the scum team of SpyreX, Katsuki, kanyeknowsbest, and Glowball! You win!

The far-off land of Ruritania was quite a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle of modern civilization. The air was clean, the food was fresh, the winters were mild, and the sun was warm but not scorching hot. Everything seemed perfect; too perfect. Every couple of decades, for a reason no one has yet discovered, some of the townsfolk become possessed by this otherworldly drive to kill everyone else off in the region. Just like with your forefathers before you, the strange possessions are happening yet again, and it's now up to you to stop it. Drive back this corrupting influence, heroes of light; otherwise, Ruritania will fall, and an eternal darkness shall spread across the land.

Is there a point to days having a deadline? Yes. If a mafioso hits a mason, that individual can't fire again until the next day. Apparently their mason-killing guns take a day to reload.

[silavor]

Spoiler: Long flavour

Paranoia spread quickly throughout the land, as people began to fear everything and everyone around them. Was it the food? Was it something in the water? A large crowd had gathered in the town square. Two soldiers had gotten into a fight, and everyone was gathering around to watch. Steel clashed on steel, as the two fought ferociously to kill each other.
"You're not the man I knew, Captain!" one of them shouted out, as he stabbed his sword straight at the man's heart. The captain parried, turned to the side, and kicked the soldier squarely in the chest.
"And your insubordination goes too far, soldier!" The captain shouted in response, as the soldier staggered backwards. The soldier gritted his teeth, bracing himself for what was about to come. His hand was clenching his blade's hilt so tightly his knuckles were turning white.

"COME AT ME, BRO!" The soldier exclaimed, widening his stance. Beads of perspiration were starting to form at his temples, just beneath the edge of his metal helmet.
"WITH PLEASURE!" The captain replied, lunging forward to pierce his comrade's gut. The soldier side-stepped and quickly slashed at the captain's shoulder. The captain pulled his blade to the side to block the soldier's attack, but his wrist was at an awkward angle, and the weight of the two swords pressing on it forced him to fall back a step. The soldier advanced, attacking quickly with a flurry of stabs and slashes. The attacks had little weight behind them, and the captain was able to easily block them. The soldier knew the captain's sword was longer, but that also meant it was heavier, and harder to swing around. The soldier soon found an opening. Swinging his sword upwards, he smacked the underside of the captain's sword, and in the moment the captain's wrist was jarred, the soldier spun around behind him, and gently rested the tip of his blade between the captain's shoulder blades.
"Checkmate." The words had barely left the soldier's mouth when a terrifying shriek could be heard from the back of the crowd. Everyone turned to look, and a woman screamed in a high-pitched wail. Blood and guts had flown everywhere, painting the side of the building and part of the alleyway behind them crimson red. The soldier and captain pushed through the crowd, rushing straight to the scene.

"I-it was... it was t-terrible," a man with wide eyes and the pale face of shock stammered out, as he collapsed to the ground, leaning against a part of the wall not soaked in blood. "He jus... j-just stuck his hand, right through 'em, and... Sploosh," the man explained, making an explosive gesture with wide-spread hands.
"Who did this?" The captain inquired, squatting down to look the man right in the eyes. The captain had never seen so much blood in one place before, but he kept a cold, stern face, to help reassure the terrified mob.
"I d-don... I don't know, I- I d-din't s-see his face." The captain exhaled deeply through his nose, trying desperately to keep his temper under control despite the stench of human entrails filling the air.
"That... that

thing

, it ran off to the mines," a young woman quietly chimed in. "I saw it, it tore him apart, then just ran..." The captain stood up, looked the woman in the eyes, and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Thank you, miss. That's information I can actually use. Now please, go home and get some rest." He turned and faced the panicked crowd. "That goes for all of you. Go home. Stay inside. Lock the doors. This will all be over soon." The captain looked around, and found the soldier examining the remains of the corpse. He had found the head, and while the captain would never show it visibly, he was shocked to find that it was one of the king's sons who had been ripped apart. He walked over and placed a hand on the soldier's shoulder to get his attention.
"Gather a team, we're going to the coal mines. Then we are going to find this thing, and slaughter it before it slaughters us." The soldier nodded silently, and ran off down one of the many alleyways leading out of the town square.

This was war, and now everyone knew it.

If no shots or lynches happen and a couple days pass,

then

we might start talking about HEA. This current deadline is really just for letting scum know when they can shoot again.

Speaking of shooting again:

Gandalf5166,

Town Mason

, has been shot!

An hour later, a mob had gathered in the town square. Some of them were seasoned veterans, soldiers who had fought side-by-side for years, and could tell the instant one of them stopped being themselves. Others were rookies, either volunteers or new recruits, who had seen little to no combat in their lives and knew nothing of their comrades. Still, the captain knew the road ahead would be dangerous, and the more eyes keeping watch for suspicious behaviour, the better; even if most of them don't know the first thing about killing a man.

@Mod: Do the votecounts stay the same when someone is shot?

If so we're gonna have to be careful <_<

They don't change a whole lot, if that's what you mean. The dead's vote vanishes, all people voting the dead person become "not voting," and the number of players alive/number to lynch decreases by one. I'm going to ask Hoopla about it for confirmation, but if someone's at L-1 and someone

else

gets shot, dropping the number of players to lynch down by one, the L-1'ed player will probably be hammered.

[silavor]

votecount should reset
3 town reads

Is resetting the votecount without advancing the day normal procedure for daykills? LlamaFluff didn't reset them in Into Africa, and that's the only daykill experience I've got.

[silavor]

Alright then, daykills reset votecounts.
Kinda curious why llama didn't reset them, because even with 20 players L-1 is still L-1, but that's not really relevant to this game.

The road out of town was eerily silent. All the doors were locked, all the windows were closed, and even the pigeons and stray dogs seemed to have gotten the message to stay hidden. The lightly forested region north-east of town was even creepier. The bird songs had long since died away, and the wind had ground to a standstill. The silence surrounding the group was absolutely deafening, and one soldier faked a cough for a second just to be certain he hadn't really gone deaf. 'Was this a sign of things to come?' the captain wondered to himself, as he marched down the forested road in silence.

They were near the mines now. The large stone mountains rose up in front of them, like a great wall of brown and grey teeth, waiting to devour them all whole. The sun was hidden behind the tallest peaks, draping the forest road in a cold twilight that coiled around the mob, slowly draining the life from their bodies as the silence suffocated them. Suddenly, there was a muffled crack off to the side, like a twig breaking. The captain whirled around to look, but it was already too late. The thing had already lunged at the group, pinning one of the volunteers down on the ground. It was human; or at least, once upon a time it had

been

human. Its skin was pale white and translucent, and most of its hair had fallen out. Thin scraps of leather, remnants of whatever clothing it had been wearing before it had turned, clung to its torso, obscuring its sex. With inhuman speed and strength, the fiend tore the man's head off, chucked it away, and lunged forward to attack the next nearest target.

The fiend's next target was a man wearing brown hooded robes. As it leaped towards him, the man, with a knowing smirk, pulled his arm out of his robes, and jabbed his palm forward at the airborne fiend. He was holding something small that glittered like metal in the torchlight, and as the fiend collided with it, the fiend collapsed to the ground, and gave off a bone-chilling shriek. The hooded man wasted no time, jumping on the fiend and pinning it down with his knees. He plunged the small metal object into the fiend's forehead, and a fine white smoke began to waft up as the fiend's shrieks of agony rose up in pitch. After a moment, the fiend stopped screaming, and went limp. The hooded man had killed it, but not before its death wails had attracted more of its kin.

Glowball,

Mafia Goon

,

has been exorcised.

[silavor]

Another fiend jumped out of the darkness, and the captain raised his sword, thinking it was coming after him. But the trajectory was all wrong, if it kept going the fiend would land off to his left... It was then that the captain realized who the real target was. One of his best men, the soldier he had had a farce duel with just hours ago, was facing the other way, peering into the darkness on the other side of the road. It was all happening so fast. The captain instinctively swung out at the inhuman monstrosity, and although the slash barely seemed to phase it, its momentum was enough to knock the fiend to the side, causing it to collide roughly with the soldier's shoulder, spinning him sideways and dropping him to his knee. Both the soldier and the fiend were up in a moment, but the soldier was ready for it this time, using his sword to block its advance.

"Here, use this!" The hooded man cried out, tossing the metallic object over the mob to the captain. He caught it, and examined it for a moment as it rested in the palm of his armoured leather glove. It was a small talisman of some sort, made of silver, and while the captain recognized it as a symbol he'd seen in the church once, he was not a religious man, and had no idea what it meant. Still, it was apparently an effective weapon against these things, and he needed all the help he could get. The soldier and the fiend were fighting at a phenomenally fast pace. The soldier's arms had bloody gashes in them from where the fiend had ripped his flesh away with its nails, and the fiend's hands were covered in its own blood, too, as the soldier's sword had cut into its palms, and managed to remove a finger or two. The captain had to move fast, before the two of them killed each other. The silver symbol had a small chain attached to it, and he quickly wrapped that around the knuckles of his left glove to keep it secure. He threw a punch at the fiend, but at that moment the soldier and fiend's fight caused the two of them to shift slightly, and the captain's punch hit nothing but air. At that point, the soldier's shoulder that had been hit by the fiend initially jarred, giving the fiend the opportunity it needed to shove the soldier's sword away and lunge straight for the neck. In a flash, the soldier's throat had been torn out, with his warm blood spewing forth onto the cold, damp forest road. The captain had had enough. With a roar of frustrated fury, he grabbed the hilt of his sword with two hands, and hefted it at the fiend. The fiend tried to dodge, but its arm was cleaved straight off by the captain's blow. It gave off a slight whimper before leaping back into the darkness of the forest. After that, the forest went deathly silent once more. It would appear they had won; but it had been a pyrrhic victory.

And xRECKONERx,

Town Mason

, had his throat torn out in the heat of battle.

[silavor]

"These beings, they are not God's children. They serve a different parent; not a father, but more like a mother," The man in the hooded brown robes explained, as he knelt by the fallen soldier, closing the corpse's eyes. The captain was a little confused by that, but didn't have time for any of this religious crap.
"I've never heard of anything like

that

in the church services," The captain replied, gesturing to the dead creature a few feet away. The hooded man sighed, as he stood up to face the captain.
"That's because most denominations wrote them out of the books many centuries ago. Bunch of ungrateful heathens," He muttered the last part under his breath. "Those who have been touched by the Mother slowly corrupt, first by losing their minds, attacking family and friends, then by losing their bodies, turning into the inhuman monstrosities we saw tonight. That symbol burns any corrupted it touches with holy fire, destroying them," The hooded man explained, pointing at the talisman wrapped around the captain's glove. The captain examined it skeptically.
"You sure they aren't just allergic to silver?" He inquired, raising an eyebrow at the man. He chuckled.
"Perhaps... Perhaps," The man replied.

As the group rested for a few minutes in the entrance to the mines, paranoia began to set in. Some were claiming they could feel a breeze coming from within the mountain, almost as if it were breathing. Others thought they heard a low throbbing, like a large heartbeat, coming from inside the walls. Neither the captain nor the hooded man heard or felt anything, and while they tried to stem the paranoia, there were more volunteer militia members in the group than trained soldiers, and the paranoia and panic spread like wildfire. One man commented on how the flames of the torch were only flickering one way, supporting the breathing mountain theory, then another commented on how only someone who knew the truth about these mines would know to look at the flames, while a different man commented on how the flame-watcher's eyes were glassy, like his eyes were unfocused and tearing up, almost like he were possessed.

That comment was the tipping point. The word 'possessed' set the crowd off, and even the captain and the hooded man were feeling uneasy about the group. The accused man claimed he just had some dust in his eye, that these mines were old and filled with dust left over from the miners smashing everything to bits, but his words fell on deaf ears. Before the captain or the hooded man could even blink, the mob had grabbed the man's limbs, holding him horizontally and pulling him in all directions. He screamed in panic, but the scream was cut short by two men tearing off his shirt and driving a dagger through his heart. By the time the captain and the hooded man could push aside the crowd and reach the man, he had already been dropped to the ground, dead. The hooded man knelt down beside the body, and gently pressed another of his talismans onto the corpse's forehead. Nothing happened. The crowd was almost as silent as the forest behind them as they waited. Waited for something, anything to happen. After half a minute, the hooded man sighed, and closed the corpse's eyes.
"Your paranoia killed an innocent man today, who only wanted the best for our mission. Control your paranoia, my friends. For reason and rational thought are the

only

things we have that they don't. Don't let their corruption in. Don't let them win."

The group trudged on in somber silence after that sobering experience. There was little the captain could do to boost morale, and at this point he had simply given up trying. He just hoped that when the time came, the remaining men would be willing to do what had to be done. The mine shaft wound deeper and deeper into the earth, and with each passing step the captain felt he was moving closer and closer to a totally alien world. The only light here came from the torches the men were holding.

After a certain depth, the tunnel was completely covered in a bizarre red substance. It felt organic to the touch, and the captain explained it away as a type of cave moss, but deep down he knew better. Yes, moss was squishy like this substance, but moss wasn't stretchy or sinewy like the tissue covering the walls was. Deep down, the captain personally thought it closely resembled pig meat; even the red colouring, with odd streaks of different shades all running in roughly the same direction, matched the look of pig meat. Just to be on the safe side, the captain pressed the silver amulet against the substance covering the walls, but nothing happened. While it was creepy as Hell and had the appearance of walking down an esophagus, the tunnel itself seemed safe, and completely inert. The real danger, the captain thought to himself as the group continued on, is that this substance muffles footsteps, which meant those corrupted humans would have an even easier time sneaking up behind them in the narrow tunnels.

"There it is! There's that pulsating, rumbling noise again!" One of the men shouted out, placing a hand on the squishy wall beside him. A small tremor rippled along the wall at high speed, rushing right underneath the soldier's hand and pushing it up slightly for a second as it rushed past the group.
"See! See? I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!" he exclaimed. The captain was, for once, eerily silent. He had heard the low rumbling noise for the first time, and he had to agree, it sounded eerily like a gigantic heartbeat. Just what had they walked in to?

After a while, the tunnel widened out into a circular chamber. Sure enough, right in the centre sat a gigantic heart, larger than a man was tall, steadily pumping away. Large blood vessels extended out from the top of the heart out in all directions. Some had wormed their way through cracks in the ceiling, forging their own tunnels just large enough for them, while others draped along the floor, extending down tunnels at the back of the chamber, deeper into the mountain. The captain drew his sword, and prepared to strike.
"No!" The hooded man exclaimed, grabbing the captain's arm. "Stop! This isn't the source of the corruption; at least, not yet, anyway." He pointed to a tunnel at the back of the heart chamber, which sloped even further down into the mountain, and had the largest, thickest vessels running along its floor. "Down there. I'm sure we'll find the source of the corruption down that tunnel. The term 'strike at the heart' doesn't quite apply to this situation," the hooded man explained cryptically. Reluctantly, the captain sheathed his sword, and looked back at the few remaining men he still had, but they were all looking back up at him. It really was his call. The hooded man was right, this heart wasn't the thing corrupting the townsfolk. But then again, it more than likely kept the source of the corruption alive, so wouldn't killing it fix the problem anyway? Curiosity had gotten the better of the captain, though, and while the safe route would have been to destroy the heart here and now, he just had to know what the source of all this trouble was. The remaining men followed the captain onward. They would follow him to the ends of the earth if they had to; and at this point, it looked like they had to.

The captain was deep underground now; he could tell because his ears were starting to pop again. The tunnel leading out of the heart chamber wasn't very long, but it had quite a few steep slopes in it, and at times the captain felt it was more like he was sliding down to certain doom than walking down with his head held high. The gigantic blood vessels that he was following twitched and quivered as the huge heart behind him pumped fluids at high pressure through them, down the tunnel, to whatever lay beyond it.

The tunnel quickly opened up to a gigantic cavern. Small patches of tissue in the walls were bioluminescent, bathing the entire vast cavern in a dim red/orange glow. At the centre was a quivering mass of tissue, the colour of rotten meat, with thin black tendrils, almost like tree roots, spreading out in all directions.
"I think we found our source," The captain whispered in awe. Despite the horrific scenery, he felt as if he were in a cathedral; somehow, the captain found himself feeling the same fearful reverence religious men claim to feel in their churches down here in this hell. The quivering mass, off in the distance, felt almost... holy. He approached it slowly, walking with cautious reverence, and taking care not to step on the thin black tendrils that expanded ever outward from the central quivering mass. The captain was overcome with emotion, and small tears began dripping down his cheeks.
"It's so... amazing," The captain exclaimed, as he reached the quivering mass. It looked like it were made of rotten meat, and the rancid smell exuding from it was nearly enough to make him faint, and yet, the captain couldn't take his eyes off of it. He felt drawn to it, like it had been his life's goal to find this thing, and he had simply been unaware of his purpose in life before now.
"

She's

so amazing." There was a horrific sound of metal sliding through flesh and bone, and the captain looked down curiously to find the tip of a thin silver rapier coming out of his chest. He turned his head around to look behind him, but only saw the hooded man. The rest of his men were gone.
"It's a shame, really. Your father lasted so much longer. He actually almost killed Her." The hooded man's voice was cold and malevolent, and had none of the soft, cheerful optimism he had used before in the forest or the cave. The captain was speechless, and simply stared at him with wide-eyed shock.
"Oh, your men? Don't worry about them, they died quick. Barely felt a thing. But what about your father? Would you like to see him again? How long has it been? Ten years? Twenty? You were just a boy then, weren't you? Too bad he never came back, huh?" The hooded man grabbed the captain's left wrist, and pressed the silver symbol wrapped around his gloved hand against the large mound of quivering tissue in front of them. It opened up, making a soft hissing noise as sealed air escaped into the large cavern. Inside was a shriveled up dehydrated corpse, suspended in the air with its limbs spread eagle. The tissue and black tendrils that made up the quivering mass came out of the corpse's back and limbs. A large organic spike, like some sort of massive stinger, was embedded in the corpse's chest. Despite being here for almost two decades, the corpse's face was unmistakably recognizable to the captain. The hooded man spoke the truth; this was indeed his father's corpse.
"You should be proud. You and your father, tag-teaming together across generations to utterly destroy the human race," The hooded man explained sarcastically, as he placed a foot on the small of the captain's back and kicked, shoving the captain off of the silver rapier and into the hollow of the quivering mass. The hooded man placed his own symbol on the edge of the mass, and with a shuddering groan, it began to seal up again.
"If only you had just killed the heart, you could have set me back another twenty or so years. It's what your father did. It's what your grandfather did before him. Looks like common sense isn't genetic after all, eh?" The last thing the captain saw, as the quivering mass sealed up forever, was that stupid, smirking grin on the hooded man's face.

If all scum and all masons are cool with it, I'll post the QTs.

In the meantime, go dine in HELL with the dead QT

Edit: Or you guys release your own QTs, that works too.

The flavour is done.

Not that anyone cares, though.

Well, maybe Elli.
