Of course, now I’m sitting here like “When’s the night gonna be over? I wanna play some more!”
WOOHOOOOO!
Celebration Whiskey please, barkeep Nava. And a round for the tavern!
True enough. Let’s hope the Night brings another Cultist death!
I had a hunch that my hunch about Kat was right. If only I’d only gotten the chance to revote my vote… :smack: :mad:
Sorry for my most recent absence everyone. I see that I’m just in time for a bittersweet return after an involuntary hiatus from the intra-web through the weekend. On Saturday, our landlord’s dog managed to get tangled with the external ethernet cable that connects our wireless antennae to our wireless router, and she must have tugged something loose in the struggle.
But things were already not shaping up well for the weekend…
Upon returning home from work on Friday afternoon, Mrs. WeHaveCookies and I discovered that my extremely special cat, Pookie (aka Dexter) had managed to liberate himself from our house. 
I’m still clinging to some hope that he’ll turn up, but unfortunately he does not possess the sort of faculties that come in handy for “normal” housecats who find themselves lost in the woods. A neighbor who lives about 1/4 down our shared dirt driveway said he may have seen him on Saturday morning, but that is the last possible sighting.
He’s given me a scare like this one other time in his life, and it did have a happy ending. But we live in a much more rural area now. Dogs run loose, chainsaws and woodchippers constantly going, mules and atv’s driving around.
I’m very sad at the idea that, after 10 years, he may not be sharing his life with us anymore. He is a very unique cat.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear, and I hope he turns back up. I know first hand it’s a hard way to lose a pet, because you never really get a point for grieving. 
Thanks. My out-of-game life is such a downer lately. I never posted as such during M3, but my friend and co-worker who got in the motorcycle accident passed away. I’m still in good spirits, as usual. I don’t really know why I am inclined to share all of my bad news with y’all. I must like you or something…
Sorry about your cat, CometotheDarkSide. : / As a cat owner myself who has had that happen before, that’s really tough to take, I know.
You’ll be in my thoughts.
Is everybody passed out drunk in the temple? Or is there a party somewhere else I wasn’t invited to? Agh, it’s high school all over again!
Cookies, I hope your kitty comes back!
Cookies, any word on your feline friend? I hope he comes home.
hands some catnip to Cookies Maybe this will help Pookie find his way back.
I’m so sorry, Cookies. One suggestion I would have would be to call the local PD or animal control. When I was a dispatcher, we used to keep a book of lost and found pets so we could try to match people up. Also, call local shelters. I wish you the best of luck finding your cat.
I’m sorry about the runaway cat, DarkCookies. Hope he comes home this time too.
Persuades the barstaff to pour him an unhealthy slug of rotgut.
Confusion to the Cultists.
FYI, I expect that dawn will be coming soon…
Sorry to hear about your couple of rough weeks, Cookies.
Still no sign of Pookie. I’ve become oddly zen-esque about it now. We had an amazing 10 years, and it is a testament to veterinary medicine and human ingenuity that he even survived his kittenhood.
The town had spent the Night celebrating their first victory in the war against the Cult of Sekham. At last, they had found the and burned Kat. Surely, her death had left some clues as to the identity of the other Cultists; it was only a matter of time. As such, many of the town’s citizens had barely made it home before passing out drunk. But this was not true of the wise storyteller0910. It was his code not to partake in boozing it up, for it would distract him from his duty, and yet to cover his tracks, he’d spent time at the bar drinking other non-alcoholic beverages. And as the evening waned into Night, he took the opportunity to slip out and head home.
What was that!? It sounded like a footstep into a puddle just a few yards behind. Was it a Cultist… a confused Crusader… was it some Psychopath out to kill him? It didn’t matter, he was being tailed, and he couldn’t let them discover his secret. He dropped his coat and ran, but it was too late as a dagger was plunged into his heart by his pursuer.
Later that Night, as DiggitCamara returned home from his Night errand. He creeped the door open slowly, so as not to awaken his sleeping children. Just as he’d lifted his lattern far enough into the doorway to see, all he could was the flash of a face before a razor-sharp blade stabbed him in the heart.
As the morning sun rose, storyteller0910 was found where he was slain at the outskirts of the town. He had been laid on his back, his heart bloodily removed, and his eyes and now both ears skillfully removed. Without his coat, he was found wearing robes, prayer beads around his neck. Surely this man was no ordinary believer, he was a man who had devoted his life in service of Nairu.
And yet, as they raised their eyes, the citizens were aghast to see smoke from across the town. As they came upon the dwelling, it was clear that it was coming from the home of DiggitCamara. A trail of blood led from the entrance way to the source of the smoke, a makeshift wooden altar, where was left the ramins of DiggitCamara and his family. As one brave soul approached, he observed a similar pattern as all the other slayings: eyes and heart removed, and the crescent symbol of Nairu around his neck, but it was difficult to tell what else, if anything, had befallen him as most of the rest of the evidence was burned. Another brave citizen entered the home, following the blood, where it ended was a sword.
Alas, the town gathered at the temple to mourn the passing of two more of their now dwindling citizenry and hopefully follow the train they hope was left by Kat.
storyteller0910, a Monk has been slain.
DiggitCamara, the Crusader has been slain.
The Day will end at 1:00 PM EDT on Sunday.
