[Persus13]

If you send in actions early, I'll skip the long night phase. If Griffinpup doesn't post today, he'll be modkilled.

[Tiruin]

If you send in actions early, I'll skip the long night phase. If Griffinpup doesn't post today, he'll be modkilled.

Uhh ._.
NQT: Griffinpup is ded.

Danger Room
A damp passage leads east and narrow steps climb up, but the main attraction is the gauntlet run to the imposing Tomb Doors on the far north end. First there's a deactivated spinning blade trap, then the tell-tale nozzles of a flame trap, and finally a bottomless chasm, the bridge long since fallen from its two hanging points (far and near).

The dead body of Dustan Hache lies here, strangled to death and vacated of belongings.

The dead body of Tomasque lies here, strangled to death and thoroughly rifled through.

The dead body of TBF lies here, shot to death, shirt ruffled.

Someone has carved the following into the floor here: "We, as scum, have decided to remain cooperative and let you find the Tomb.  Let's do it"

The following explorers (known by their nicknames) are here:
Fallacy
Tiruin Burnt

In the least, searching up Griffinpup's name has it list out as him leaving a body that was searched back there.

Well then. I'm going to hope that you're town, Tiruin.

Care for any more medical treatment?

And... who shot Fish?

And I'M going to hope you passed me a message saying "... HAHAHAHA" .____.
So either TBF is town and Persus is an assassin or whatjusthappened.

...I'll just shuffle away to the everywherebut-here and get along with life.
And yes I care for medical treatment :v Heal me last [/yes sarcasm]

Wait, Griffinpup is alive?

I'm all alone. In a tomb with you two.
 
Kill me now please?

[Persus13]

I guess NQT must have copy-pasted the round start update from a previous round where griffinpup was alive, I guess.

I also didn't kill TBF. I'm three rooms away looting some stuff, including something I think might protect from that flame trap.

Puzzle Phase 14



Please send in your four actions to me in the next 24 hours, if you haven't already. If you need a reminder of your inventory or anything else, do let me know.

Spoiler: Possible Actions (click to show/hide)

Search -  Search an object in an accessible room: any items, including messages hidden there, will be taken and you may also get a clue about the use of the object.

Take – Take an item from a location or an object.

Go (south, down etc.) – Travel in a direction to an adjacent room.

Use Item – Use the action of item on an object or person. An item's action can only be used once per puzzle phase. If an object has multiple actions, any or all of those actions can be used in a puzzle phase. Self-targeting is allowed.

The Long Night is over.

I got bogged down with work, left it a long time waiting for a player to send a night PM and then later lost the notes for this game. One thousand apologies!

But after so long I probably do owe some kind of answer. From my feel of it, I think it was assured to be an assassin's victory, though not with an improved ending. Tiruin and Fallacy were in a position in which they could have killed Persus. Persus hadn't figured everything for getting safely out. The assassins hadn't discovered the way to raise their dead God either which I think was the advanced win condition.

I'm obviously disappointed I wasn't able to bring the game to the complete and satisfying conclusion you all deserved for taking part. I can however share the roles I found in the PMs and the final unimplemented actions.

Actions

Spoiler: Tiruin's Last Actions (click to show/hide)

I can't find Persus and I've no idea how to traverse this last puzzle x~x
Can we publicly call a draw next phase? Announce the proposal in public?

...Oh wait Persus is still alive.

Apologies if I've forgotten anything
> Reload any weapon that needs reloading
> Head to Nexus
> Apply any healing item (1x) on me that I need.
> Read anything that isn't the book of Nak Leth and the poem journal.
+ I totally accept failure for any of these actions o_O

Heal Tiruin, using medkit.

Pass 3 painkillers to Tiruin.

If Persus is in room, shoot him.

This is the final stretch, only a few more turns. Could I have your actions? Feel free to queue up more than one round in advance if you know what you're going to do.

Wear Antique Clay Cloak. Move West. Move South. Wait

Spoiler: TheBiggerFish's Last Lack of Actions (click to show/hide)

Oh, actions.

Don't worry too much, there probably wasn't anything you could have done to avoid that bullet.

I'm more surprised than annoyed.

[FallacyofUrist]

Four years later... Spongebob narrator voice.

But at least I sorta won, heh. GG? It was really fun playing this while it lasted.

[notquitethere]

Thanks for your patience and for replacing in. I think Persus's armor would have soaked a bullet or two but eventually Tiruin would probably garotted him (though he may have been fast enough to run away).

If anyone is wondering, the speeds were displayed to the players approximately, but everyone had a unique number from 1-13. It's all in a spreadsheet on a dead hard drive somewhere probably.

Perhaps in 2026 I'll run Return to Puzzle Temple Panic and the survivors can reprise their roles.

[Tomasque]

What a blast from the past. Thanks for surfacing this again.

BTW, Griffinpup, I was the guy that shot you.

[Persus13]

Wow, I'm glad I didn't trust anyone left alive.
