Sigh. We’ve lost all momentum. I really thought this game would be crazier and more bloodshed-y. ---

\*It is the **year 10,432…** It is the \*\*eighth night \*\*of the **sixth month**. It was surprisingly calm. \*\*But it was only the calm before the storm.\*… \* \*\*The Creature was only growing more and more powerful. Things would become much, much worse, very soon. HA HA HA HA HA… \*\* [**Enemy- Sevendust**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EEn1Q5Ahkc) \*Step up to me - Step up to me You wanna be a big time player - it’s not to be Look at all the snide ass - actin like a wise ass I’ll fuck up your face and you’ll never look back So when you fall to the ground And finally get back to reality And no one at all is around So tell me how does it feel to be the enemy? Step up to me - Step up to me You wanna be a big time player - it’s not to be Look at your face - look at your name It’s funny you’re a loser with only yourself to blame Cut your fucking hair now - scared of all the stare downs You wanna be like me cause it’s real So you steal on your way to fame Never gonna be - never gonna see Your name in lights - you can always dream what ‘cha could’ve been Clean up my shit - you look like a dick Step to unemployment - step Step! Step up to me – step up You’re the enemy! \* \*\*Lord Phere \*\*arrived at the Fortification in the usual way. It was searching for someone in particular… someone who was about to experience unreality. **Weedy** , the unsuspecting cloaked figure, was walking down the stone path back to her quarters, hoping not to be detected. But it seemed nothing could hide from Lord Phere… nothing and no one. Not even Weedy. **[FONT=Palatino Linotype]“I bring a message for you. It is a message of pain and torment, of a demon struggling against the chains. It’s a message of wrath. And you will feel mine tonight, vile mortal wretch…”** Weedy was too exhausted to fully shield herself from the coming blow. **A massive burst of fire** , as hot as the sun, instantly overwhelmed her defenses and sent her flaming corpse flying into the wall of the fort, crumpling to the ground, inert. _ **Weedy was slain in battle by Lord Phere.** _ Elsewhere, a faint white light shimmered where \*\*GuiriEnEspana \*\*once stood. Within a few moments, Guiri appeared out of thin air. _ **GuiriEnEspana has been returned.** [/FONT]_\*\* Gnarlycharlie \*\*was hoping for a bit of good news as well. But out in the shadows of the night, only pain did he find. He didn’t even see it coming, but a figure approached and unleashed a \*\*powerful orb of energy, \*\*striking Gnarlycharlie in the back. Gnarly was able to return back to his quarters, but much worse for wear.\* **Gnarlycharlie took 100hp damage.** **The Aftermath:** Upon inspection of Weedy’s remains, they found some troubling signs. Although \*\*Weedy \*\*had been dressed as a **White Mage** , there were also signs of a close association with demons. There were symbols burned deep into her flesh, and written all over the books and scrolls in her quarters. There were also hand-written notes which seemed to describe a burning hatred for the mortals around her. From this, the Adventurers reluctantly decided that, White Mage or not, Weedy was probably a \*\*Very Evil \*\*character. However, they found no other items in her possession that could provide much in the way of clues, only a shiny **blue ring.** **[COLOR=Indigo]That Blue Ring, and a Diamond Ring they found in ToeJam’s quarters, were the items available for vote today.**[/COLOR] \*\*Blue Ring: Player Unvote, Blue Ring: Player Diamond: Player Unvote, Diamond: Player In Purple and bold, please.\*\* [SIZE=6]Begin “The Fourth BATTLE”[/SIZE]\* _(Day Four)_ \*\*\*[COLOR=Black][COLOR=Green]OOC: Day Four has begun.[/COLOR] You may continue to vote and discuss your situation.

It might be too early to say, but I think Weedy may have been a scum or something similar. > [@](#): > > Note that townies can turn Good, Neutral, or Evil Doesn’t say anything about Very Evil. ---
