[Mafia] Witch Trip

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

find, she doesn't know, a vine or something to escape before she gets hypothermia or whatever. (Taira)

It's about damn time the RNG works in your group's favor. You find a nice long vine you pull down and you manage to climb up with ease and help Delilah and CATS get back up top, too.

[PointMaid]

...Brr. Yikes. That was something.

[Kennifer]

"Oof. Thanks, I... God, mass clumsiness there or something. Is that a thing, it sounds like it should be. Like mass hysteria, but with clumsiness."

"...Anyway, I'm just gonna sit by the fire a bit to warm up and stuff."

[TenOfSwords13]

Jimothy didn't notice the whole "CATS fell down a whole" thing.

Are you "all right"? It looks like you did not have a positive experience recently.

[PointMaid]

I think we'll be fine, yeah. Thanks.

Taira shivers. ...You don't mind if I sit here near the fire and warm up too, do you, Delilah?

[Kennifer]

"No, I don't mind a bit. And yeah, I'll be fine. I hope."

QUOTING THIS FROM CUTEGIRL FROM A DM SHE SENT ME ON DISCORD DUE TO HER HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Abi: "This isn't good. At least I have enhanced durability..."
1.  Run as fast as possible until I find a deer which I shove towards the Wolves.
2. Fight off the eagle, then use thr jacket as a parashoot and land in a nearby tree.
3. Is the bear brown or black or even is a specific species? If brown, lay down. If black or neither species fight it off with a large and sturdy stick.

1. You run, you run, you run. But not a deer to be found right when you need one. You'd probably consider tossing Quinarva if she were nearby, but she's not. But jokes aside, a few of the wolves get a few bites on you. But you manage to hide from them. (Rolled 3)

2. This doesn't really go much better for you. The Eagle keeps on trying to hold onto you no matter how much you throw at it. Eventually it drops you, but your jacket is too scratched up to be used as a parachute. You land on tree trunk after tree trunk after tree trunk before you hit the ground. At least the trunks broke your fall, so it could be worse. (Rolled 4)

3. And the bear in question is a black bear. But you're so angry getting your ass handed to you by the wolves and eagles, you manage to prove to be a worthy match for the bear. You find a big stick and knock some sense into the animal. It eventually retreats. Winning in the end, you decide it's time for a nap. (Rolled 6 and 1+ for survival skills for 7)

... Here goes.

1. A pack of wolves surround you, looking to pounce. Find a way to evade them or even fight them off if you're brave enough.

Naomi takes off the rabbit ears and prepares to take them on head-on, firmly standing their ground, ready to fight... Running away only allows them to pursue them... and with Naomi's decreased speed... that's not an option here. Fortunately, with her increased weight and constitution... a few hits from claws or bites will probably leave only a few scratches... right? A few high-weight kicks and punches should do the trick... and if that doesn't work... (Naomi takes out a dog whistler from their sleeves) This should do the trick... right? Eh. I've always been one to take risks. BRING IT ON!

2. Look out! A giant eagle (or two eagles if you're part of a duo) has just grabbed you. And now you find yourself very high up in the air. Free yourself from its grasp and try to get to the ground safely.

First, Naomi tries to firmly grab the eagle's clawed feet with her hands in order to be in a better spot to drag down the eagle... Then, using a combination of pull-ups and her own weight, Naomi tries to drag down the eagle to a lower altitude... and then she lets go when she can see the ground under the forest reliably, preferably landing on some tree leaves, which will (hopefully) absorb the fall.

3. If those weren't bad enough, now a giant bear is looking to tear you apart. Again, same as the wolves, avoid it or fight back.

Again, Naomi firmly stands their ground. She slowly raises her arms up and  in an attempt to intimidate... Of course, figuring that intimidation wouldn't QUITE work... she instead tries to find the nearest rock in order to aim for the eyes and remove its sight... Hopefully.
All I have to do after that is divert its attention by making a loud sound in a direction AWAY from me and it'll swing its immense strength AWAY! (Naomi proceeds to grab a phone, activate the loudest alarm and yeets it above the bear and far away from herself as she can, slowly sneaking out in the opposite direction and carefully watching the direction of the bear. Remember. Just because it can't SEE me doesn't mean it can't HEAR me.

Remember. Just because it can't SEE me doesn't mean it can't HEAR me.

1. Your weight proves to be quite the asset here. You prove yourself to be quite the spry fighter, with the wolves not really scratching you up. In fact, quite the opposite. You end up smashing their bodies together, shattering their skulls, just totally doing a number on them. And in the end, you walk away, the easy victor. Just goes to show nature shouldn't mess with a girl who's a vending machine. (Rolled 7 and 1+ for durability for 8)

2. Again, also good thinking there too. The eagle cannot handle your surprising amount of weight as you manage to bring it down with ease. You make it fly into a safe spot and you just land on the ground, no problem. Meanwhile, you've left the eagle quite sore as it flies off. Damn, you on a roll! (Rolled 7 and 1+ for durability for 8)

3. But the bear proves to be your biggest challenge yet. Like you said, it is not easily intimidated. And also your attempt to sway it away from a faraway sound doesn't quite work. The bear quickly notices you and easily man-handles you. Trashing you abound, clawing at you, slamming you around, even crushing you with its weight. It could be worse those since you're not fully human. Still, you are definitely dazed after all that. (Rolled 1)

A few fixes here, a few fixes there, you're good as new.

[PopcornPie]

Quinarva sits on a stump and contemplated her fate. She had no choice but to trust Fentiriss and Lukanios, no matter what. Just...if only she had been more careful. Even now, she felt the cold breath of the Vigilante upon her. The fire in her eyes was washed out. She wouldn't bear to be alone tonight. With none trusting her to not hurt them during their sleep, she decided to fool-proof herself.

She walked to the nearest rock, holding her head right to its level, and threw her head at it with all her remaining might.

Whack. Whack. WHACK. In three or four swings, both antlers, assuming they regenerated when she was resurrected, snapped off. She was back to having two flat stumps on her head.

"There. Now I can't gouge anyones' eyes out." Quinarva smiled. Well, she still could with her claws, but she wasn't willing to be shot dead without her hands. "All I ask is comfort in my last hours. WhenI find Susan, I swear I will give her the same hope I was given."

[Florien]

No hope, crushing dread of eternity. Got it.

Hope, yeah! Give her that if you aren't kept in separate torture places for the next few days. You might be, I don't know. It'll go great, yeah? For us. For you it will probably be very painful.

Shush. You're the one who agreed to stand in her general area, you're the one in charge of bedside manner. Do better.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All right, you all managed to fight off the animals. You all put in very good effort. Although I wonder what happened with the pizza guy. He just seemed to totally disappear. But I'll browse for him and hopefully we can find him. But anyway. Tonight, I'll keep watch over you, Jimothy. I wouldn't have thought someone would take a skateboard with them on a hiking trip, but I bet you're probably glad you did. You've proven to be quite elusive with it. Very good work. I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you.

NIGHTTIME WILL BEGIN EARLY TOMORROW MORNING

[PopcornPie]

"...Fent, your idea of giving me assurance is listing all the ways I'll be tortured." Quinarva tilted her head. "If I go down there and we're kept separately, I'll fight my way to her if I have to. After all, Agatha hates hope."

[Florien]

I don't give assurance, and more to the point, Luki over there is the one who likes you, not me.

What? Oh, yeah. Assurance noises! Yeah!

[PopcornPie]

"Who knows, maybe the other souls are fighting back."

[Oggy123]

Anya can only look towards Quinarva, sadly

[TenOfSwords13]

Well, that is why I never leave home without my skateboard! That is a very human obsession to have! And I am very happy that it came in useful!

note to self- is skateboarding really not a human cultural keystone? more investigation needed

[Florien]

It was impressive.

Annnnyway, if the third killer would like to confess their presence about now, it would save us a lot of trouble. Or rather, not much at all, as we're fairly likely to grab them tomorrow anyway and render this the shortest iteration yet.

Don't change the subject, that wheel-board usage was impressive and very human. Only a non-outlander would wheel-board so well. This wheel-boarder should become a professional with a very high profile, who basks in the celebrity status conferred by the advanced wheelboarding. This would not be a distraction from any other important things and would not be a risk to any hypothetical cover identity, because wheel-board users are inherently non-suspicious no matter how famous they become.

Ah, I get where you're... yes that sounds very true! I agree with all those points. Timofer Jimington over there should definitely "go professional"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

You and everyone else head off to sleep for the night. And like previously, you all receive another vision.

The late 1600s, Eleanor Village

As the Reverend keeps studying his material for the next sermon, Agatha barges in quite the hasty manner. The loud noise of her opening the doors and her quick footsteps instantly catches his attention. And from the looks of Agatha, he can sense that she is greatly disturbed.

"Agatha, did you meet with Mary Browning?"

"Yes, Reverend. And I have very disturbing news to share."

"What is it?"

"I observed the neighborhood where she resides, the families there have come down with some kind of plague."

"A plague?"

"Yes. I had to tread carefully. But I visited Mrs. Browning like you asked me and her husband and children fell ill to the plague as well. And I had thought it unusual why she did not fell ill as well. We had our conversation about why she is not attending the church and she mentioned she is needed at the home to aide her family."

"This is very grave news..."

"But that is not the end of it. When she had to step into the kitchen, I felt the need to browse around the house. I had sensed something unusual in the cellar. There, I had found potions and some spell books. Reverend... I fear Mary Browning is a witch."

The Reverend looks down in contemplation.

"Reverend?"

"I was worried something might have befallen her, but this is worst than I feared. I shall head over to the authorities right away and have them investigate her house. If what you say is true.... we need to rid this wretch from our town."

The Reverend would go to the authorities and would report Agatha's findings to them. They immediately head over to the house and confirmed Agatha is speaking the truth. Mary Browning would be arrested and put on trial. She would be found guilty by the jury. Shortly after, Mary would be sent over to a vertical pole, with the authorities escorting her over there, getting her set up to be hung. A gathering of the townspeople, Agatha and the Reverend included, watched as the executioner kicked away the stool where Mary stood on, making her drop down, her feet about one yard away from the ground. Death was not immediate for her the second she dropped. All she could do is try in a vain effort to rip off the noose around her neck, her legs frantically kicking the air. But after a few moments, her movements slowed to a complete stop, her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She isdone for. The townspeople chanted for her to die all-throughout this and let out a loud cheer after she finally died. The Reverend would lead the group in prayer to watch over the town, to protect it from more threats as well as a quick recovery for those who have fallen ill. After the group dispersed, the Reverend turned his attention to Agatha.

"Mrs. Bancroft, I want to thank you for your services. If it were not for your intervention, I can only imagine what fate Eleanor Village would befall."

"Thank you, Reverend. This was not easy for me to witness, but I am glad to see justice has been done. I.... need to escape from all these events for the time being. I should head home and prepare dinner for my husband and I. He is about to finish his work."

"I understand. Give your regards to John for me, would you? God be with you all."

"Thank you."

Agatha sets off back home, left wondering if this will be the end of it for good. But in the back of her mind, she sensed that she would face more threats to the town.

Back to the present, the Voice speaks into the head of the two surviving Possessed ones.

Luck was unusually on their side. One of you, go forth and kill again. Do not fail to evade detection again.

AND NIGHT PHASE COMES. DAY WILL COME WEDNESDAY JULY 6, AT 6 PM CST TO GIVE SOME TIME FOR YOUR FINAL FRONTIER 4. ANYONE WITH ROLES, PLEASE SEND IN YOUR ACTIONS TO THE HOST VIA PM. THANKS!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

DAYTIME IS HERE

You and everyone have another vision before waking up. It appears to be a group of four hunters in the very same forest you're all in. By the looks of them, they appear to have been from sometime in the 18th century. They set their sights on a bear and just as one of them is about to shoot it, the one aiming suddenly turns around and blows the rest of them away before putting the rifle in his mouth. You can tell all throughout this he's doing all this against his will. The vision disappears and a new one is put in place as you see someone who appears to be running away. The person seems to be from the late 19th century. He looks paranoid as he hears the voices of several people. He shouts, thinking it's the police who's after him. He tries to run further, but he can't as he appears to have been frozen. Being confused why he can't move, he screams further and desperately until a hand quickly rises out of the ground and grabs him. He's quite surprised and screams louder as the hand snatches him and slowly descends down into the ground, getting buried by the ground itself, the dirt all but suffocating him.

One more vision you all see. It appears to be a double-date between four teenagers who look like they're from the 1950s. One of them seems to be quite bold as to bring out the other three here, saying how they all need a little excitement and what better way to get some than to make out in the same place where it's been rumored hundreds of people died. The excitement is short-lived as one of the two girls here grabs what appears to be quite the heavy stick and hits the more bolder boy right in the skull, in what appears to be with very little effort. A sickening crunch is heard as he gets whacked in the head, instantly knocking him down, bleeding from the ears and not moving. She takes the stick and quickly beats the other two teens to death with it. She drops it and she looks at the bodies there and wonders what has she done? Her confusion doesn't last long however as she bursts into flames. The sound of her screaming fades away right when it cuts to hundreds of souls, all crying in pain and terror. You recognize some of them as the same people who appeared in the visions. Among them, you think you even see Professor Crow and Susan. Before you make sense of it, you all wake up.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Naomi wakes up again...

Ugh... Another day... Another... Um... Yeah.
