“Murder!”
As dawn appeared over the Arcane University, many mages woke up to that cry. Magister Dariush lay dead, face down in a pool of his own blood on the floor of the alchemist’s greenhouse, found by a now-horrified apprentice. Dariush had been chosen by the Archmage himself to lead the secret investigation team responsible for rooting out Cabal spies. The cause of the magister’s death was a dagger, adorned with sigils of the Cabal, buried deep into his back.
While to most mages the dagger meant a Cabal assassin had struck, the Archmage and the investigators that were supposed to work under deceased magister knew this was far worse. There were traitors amongst them.
An hour later, the team and the Archmage were gathered in the room that would, originally, serve as a planning room for the whole operation.
“As I am sure that all of you are already aware,” the Archmage said “magister Dariush was found dead this morning. Only those present in this room know his, and your, task. Thus, it is with great sadness that I must conclude that some of you are traitors. Thus, you are now tasked with finding the traitors in this room. “
“I’ve personally searched the rooms of each of you, and found no evidence. There is only one solution. You will have to decide whom among you is a traitor. At the end of the day, whomever you believe to be an infiltrator will be executed, and their bodies investigated for any Cabal markings, which we know are usually branded in a way that can only be seen if the owner wills it or upon death. You may begin”
With those words he left the room. A few seconds after, the sound of the door being locked and infused with magick were heard. The doors would only open at dusk, and with them would come the death of someone.
Day will end at 25/03/2013 (DD/MM/YYYY) at 22:00 BRT (see OP for conversion). There are 72:30 hours left.
