SCoD 68 - Ascendance of the Unshackled - Unshackled win

At least it was fun to try this concept…

IDK if majority makes it go faster or not :joy_cat:

Final Votecount

Jarek (5): Marluxion, Leafia, Silviu200530, Creature, Jarek

Not Voting (4): Kiiruma, Ashlyn, Ruby, Hazardwaste

Jarek was:

The Luminary, Leader of the Unshackled

The Azure Dragoon is corrupt. You can feel it every time someone is strung up for lèse-majesté, every time a child goes hungry because the Lord hoards taxes for himself, every time a trial is decided by the weight of the Lord’s thumb on the scales. The Azure Dragoon is corrupt, and the whole kingdom cries out in agony.

You don’t understand how others can’t see it too.

You thought at first that you would meet the same fate as every reformer before you. But no matter how they call for your blood, their weapons glance harmlessly off your skin.

They have to see the light. You can show them the light, but it will take time.

You are the Luminary, the head of the Unshackled. You have access to the following effects:

  • Each night, beginning Night 1, you must induct another player into the Unshackled.
  • If you are ever eliminated, you will survive and the last player who voted you will die in your place.
  • If another member of the Unshackled is eliminated, you and all members of the Unshackled die and lose the game.
    You win when as many living players are aligned with the Unshackled as with the Azure Dragoon.

Creature has died in Jarek’s place. He was:

The Spy

You spend most of your time at other courts, covertly reporting back to your Lord on their operations. But he’s called you home, now, for you know more of shadowy conspiracies than anyone else in the court.

Yet for all the time you’ve spent hiding your true intentions, you’ve never felt a greater need to hide yourself than here. The Lord is capricious, and though you owe him your loyalty you can’t bring yourself to feel actual respect for him, certainly not enough respect to let on your true feelings.

So you put on the disguise of an unquestioningly loyal agent, and rest safe in the assurance that the Lord isn’t clever enough to notice.

You are the Spy, a member of the Azure Dragoon. You have no abilities but your voice and your vote.
You win when you eliminate the Unshackled.

End of Day 3 Flavor

A light, as bright as the sun, drawing you close like a moth to a flame…

The Luminary pulls back their hood, meeting the court’s gazes, one by one. Fire burns in their eyes, hot and deadly. They hold up their lantern, and every person in the room turns to look at it.

“You cannot hurt me,” says the Luminary, holding out their unarmored wrists. “Strike me, if you dare.”

They stand in the center of the courtroom, looking pointedly at those with weapons. No one moves. A thousand swords have been brought to bear against them before; why should the thousand-and-first be any different?

Home, briefly, from his missions in other courts, a spy sits frozen in silence. He clutches his binoculars in his hands, staring straight ahead.

Like Icarus flying towards the sun, like a fly drawn to a brushfire…

“Then there shall be a sacrifice,” says the Lord. “Creature, would you care to explain why you seem so transfixed by this traitor?”
