D1 ActionsJack AT flavour inspects Tack
Mastahcheese: scan tack, scan objective
P-Luke is lynched
Mastahcheese: scan tack, scan objective
You eye up the adventurers Tack and Objective, fangs extending and hunger growing. But you're disappointed: neither of them have any points.
Jack: day flavour inspect Tack
While the others are casting accusations and pointing fingers you take a good hard look at the one they call Tack. Tack is dressed in fine robes and wears an elaborate curled wig. He speaks with fine diction in a loud, booming voice and evidently takes pains to be exact in all his doings. His authoritative bearing and keen wit set him apart from the other low lifes in room.

Leafsnail
You lean against the wall and await your mark. An upright man in fine robes, the one they call Tack, walks by. You launch yourself at him, bombarding him with talk of New Starts and Hot Prices. Soon you have him trading in his papers, thinking he got a good deal. The sap.
Congratulating yourself on your cleverness you slime across the dusty cobbles, looking for somewhere to curl up. A hooded figure, steps crab-like up to you.
"Psst," the figure says, enunciating each constanant disconcertingly. "Got something for ya."
Beneath the folds of the robe, the figure passes you a small package, before hurrying away. You unwrap it quickly, and out pops an inflatable shell that fits snuggly on your back.
You're about to retire for the night when a uniformed man and a wealthy looking man in a suit appear.
"My name is Drill Sergeant Deathsword, and this is my associate, Mr Tawarochir. I'd like to make a new man out of you."
He puts a firm hand on your soldier and explains how the Djinn are on the winning side. Well, you like to win, don't you?
Mr Tawarochir chimes in, "Here's a little welcoming gift. Welcome to the Blue team."
Congrats! You now have hide and protect. You lost miller. You are now scum. You are no longer an Unlikable Merchant... now you're:
Leafsnail, Resourceful Merchant, 1xp
Sap - Day (4 points)
Recycle (3 points)
Hardcore (-1 point)
Protect (2 points)
Hide (6 points)
You gaze upon the four masked faces of the dire wolf that slinks in the shadows. You'd say, looking at him, he has two autos and a power.
You adjust your trenchcoat and congratulate yourself on your fine sluething when you stub your toe on a small package. You unwrap it and inside you find something you'd only ever dreamed of: a magnifying glass of True Inspection.
Congrats! You're no longer just an Unsubtle P.I. You are:
Jack A T, Brutally Effective P.I., 2xp
1 Bloodthirsty
4 DayFlavour Inspect
1 Count
6 Infallible Alignment Inspect
-1 Miller
-1 Blatant
You cast a minor spell of protection on MOWE before sitting down to meditate on the true cost of things.
Your actions were successful.
You saved up your life savings for this: a magnifying glass of True Inspect. You test it out, peering through the smoky darkness at the slimy mollusk, Leafsnail. Through the glass you see his true face: a Djinn!
Leafsnail is definitely scum.
Drill Sergeant Deathsword and Mr Tawarochir, a rapacious philanphropist sidle up to the slimy merchant, Leafsnail. They offer him a chance to join the better side in the Djinn War: the Djinn themselves. To sweeten the deal, Mr Tawarochir digs out some scrolls that might help their new ally.
Leafsnail is now scum. Tawarochir's Santa was succesful.
Jim
You sidle up to vile mollusk, Leafsnail. Your hood is pulled down, obscuring your face.
"Psst, got something for ya," you whisper, passing him a small package (the contents of which are unknown even to you).
You don't feel that tired so you scan the room, your eyes alighting on the one they call Jack. You drop a second parcel at his feet, good and subtle and he picks it up without seeing you pass. As you go you feel proud for overcoming your usual urge to self indulgence.
Objective
You climb up a pile of skulls, up to the rafters where you can watch your ally. On the way you brush past a sickly figure, the one who hacked and coughed through the day's lynching. When you get to the top of the rafters, you feel a tightening in your throat. Looking down you see with horror as your skin turns blue and starts to slough off the bone.
Congrats! You're now an Accursed One.
Objective, Accursed One, 1 exp
Changeling
-1 Hardcore
-1 Dense
-1 Mercenary
TheDarkStar
You wait by the pile of skulls for a victim, soon enough a figure dressed in the pristine white of the medical profession comes by looking right and proper. He'll do. You casually brush into him, spreading your taint. You slink away behind the altar and await the change. You feel a goodness spread through you, and a strange new desire to serve and protect. You stand up straight and breathe clearly for the first time in a long time.
Congrats! You're now a Totally Legitimate Doctor
Tack
You go to inspect Tiruin, for no shadier figure could you possible imagine. You get sidelined by a merchant who dazzles you with talk of New Starts and Hot Prices. When you come to out of your commercial fugue, you find your mind empty yet full of promise.
You have been Recycled. You are now:
Magnificent Ex-magistrate - 6xp
Blatant
You wait until no ones looking before plunging a knife into the corpse of P-Luke. Tearing him open you lay out his entrails. From their pattern, you divine the mystic potential of all in the vicinity, including yourself:
Leafsnail saps Tack
Mastahcheese scans 4mask and TheDarkStar, Saps Leafsnail
Jack A T Flavour Inspects TheDarkStar
Persus is lynched
You stumble about through the gloom, shouting denunciations and retorts, though you have none of your prior acuity. At least you're rich, you console yourself, touching your money pouch. Your gut-sinkingly empty money pouch...
You have been sapped! You now have 0xp
Congratulating yourself on your cleverness in dealing you injest the coins, feeling the nuggets of wisdom sink in... for just a moment until you feel a suddem prick at your side and it's gone. It's all gone.
You have been sapped! You now have 0xp
You examine The Dark Star's veins, and are pleased to see them thick and juicy. Much nicer than the four-masked dire wolf who is healthy but not fit to burst.
Regardless you corner the braggart Leafsnail, sinking your fangs into his soft slimy skin and sucking the bountiful juices from within...
TheDarkStar has 4xp. 4maskwolf has 1xp. You gain 8xp from sapping Leafsnail.

First someone grabs your sack of presents and your red lined hat, leaving you with a small stack of coins. You're counting their worth when the needle is rammed in your neck. As you bleed out on the ground a man with a fedora stands over you with a magnifying lens.
You were Recycled AND Killed!
www.quicktopic.com/50/H/NJMjGSLPtnxYou sneak up to Jim and fish around in the white coat that Objective had discarded. There's a needle. Yes, this will do. You plunge it into Jim's neck and sneak off again.
I would then like to recycle Leafsnail and Jim Groovester.
Feeling energised from all the blood you'd sapped, you decide to mesmerise some victims, get them to forget about themselves. First you corner the Leafsnail. Half-way through hypnotising, you realise you've caught the Native Foreigner instead. No matter, you soon move on to Jim, calmly taking away his red jacket and setting it aside. You stuff a handful of junk coins in his pocket for him to focus on while you sneak away.
As you're moving back into the shadows you're cornered by the Snail who makes you offer you just can't refuse. When the Djinn invade, there'll be plenty of blood for all their allies to feast on...
You successfully recycled Nativeforeigner and Jim Groovester. You were converted. You are now scum.
You fish about the ashes of funeral pyre, tyring to find some usable entrails. While you're digging someone taps you on the shoulder, when you come to a while later you can't seem to remember anything.You were recycled!

Then you realise the problem: he's dead.Nativeforeigner and Jim Groovester are Town.

You spend the night meditating on the nature of trust and loyalty, while gazing at the four headed beast as it drools in the corner.Inspect NativeForeigner. I'm pretty sure he's town at this point, but I'd like to be sure.
You sneak up to the exotic Native Foreigner, a second generation adventurer or so he claims. You fix him with your perfect gaze and as your adjusting your glass, he turns and you see that in the muggy darkness you'd accidentally gazed at the Leaf Snail!Leafsnail is Still ScumI want to sell off Protect (gaining two points).

You have been sapped and now have 0xp.
While everyone is staring at the Jim's corpse, you steal a good look at the Leaf Snail. You'd heard he was some kind of greedy merchant but looking at him he seems more forthright than that and it's hard to say what he could be selling. The slimy trail aside, he gives off an aura of killer instincts and keen business acumen.

Before heading out to infect the wolf, you are standing chatting with the Count de Fromage, who's explaining the finer points of blood sucking.
"All the victim feels is a little pin prick in their neck, but voila! They're essence is yours!"
As he says this you feel a slight prick in your neck and you suddenly don't feel like doing anything much at all...
You have been sapped and so did not perform Changeling.
You sneak up to The Objective, who's standing in deep conversation. He doesn't notice as you slip your needle into his neck and withdraw a little drop.
You sapped Objective, gain 1xp.
You pull out your Lens and stalk through the smoky chamber, sniffing out the damp wool of the sheep. You spy him in a dark doorway lit dimly by a bank of candles. Gazing through the lens you see it comes up non-djinn. Satisfied, you clasp the sheep on the shoulder only to find it was a mirror all along!
Toaster is definitely town.
You grab a thigh bone from the dirt and wield it, keeping your eye on Master Cheese and the Toaster... only after the night draws to an end you realise that you'd been watching the sheep instead.
You protected MastahCheese and TheWetSheep.
"Doctor Objective, do not worry," says the Sheep to the somewhat absent looking fellow, "I think I know what I'm doing."
He recites the spell of misdirection from a scroll, but in the dark he misreads the words...
TheWetSheep bussed Toaster and TheWetSheep!
You crawl along the ground to where Master Cheese stands and there you tie his laces together before shuffling backwards in tbe dark.
Count de Fromage finishes his chat and whips out a little book of notes in which he plans his evening's events. Confident in his intended motions he strides forth. Or at least he would have strode forth had someone not tied his laces together...
MastahCheese was blocked!
You wander across the hall to where Tack sleeps, mumbling to himself. A quick gaze through your Lens shows him to be non-djinn. You hurry on over to where you think you catch a glimse of the Sheep, but unfortunately it's just the Toaster. You inspect him while you're at it and he's legit.
Tack and Toaster are town.

You scrape the saltpetre from the wall. That'll make it harder for them to make a bomb.
Stumbling through the smoke you trip over something soft and wet in the dark. It's the Sheep, bleeding blue.
TheWetSheep is definitely scum.
You clear your mind, focus on the task ahead and stalk on through the chamber until you alight on the four headed wolf, his eyeless masks gazing blindly in the dark. You ascertain that he's not a djinn and make your way to where the sheep sits, damp in a pool of blood. The blue blood is unmistakable: it's a djinn! You make to raise the hue and cry when you realise the sbeep is in fact dead...
Thewetsheep is definitely scum. 4maskwolf is definitely town.
You crouch in the rafters, staring down at the shifting folk. Suddenly, the waxy wool of the sheep appears and you sieze the moment, dropping down on the sheep in a muffled thud, driving your needle deep into its neck. The beast bleeds blue and you scurry off.
Thewetsheep is dead.
You go to bump into the Toaster in the dark, but end up stumbling yourself, sending you careening off into the four masked wolf. You are just getting your bearings when a heavy lump lands on your back, knocking the wind out of you. You try to breathe in but only gargle blood as a sharp point is driven through your throat...
You successfully targeted TheWetSheep and 4maskwolf with Randomise, but you're also dead.
Here's the dead chat.Lynch Objective
Let me know if you know I've missed anything.
