Lynching flavor text/morning after text in one post:
With two successful executions in a row behind them, the citizens were growing more confident. Could they maintain this streak? It was said that good things came in threes, after all. (Well, horrible ugly things, in this case, but horrible ugly things being destroyed is, on the balance, basically positive, no?) They found themselves divided as the day wore on, and out of desperation turned against one of the more unusual residents once again: the Bursar, of Unseen University. If the seemingly harmless Ponder Stibbons had housed one of the creatures, why couldn't one of his comrades? Especially one widely renowned as being insane? And so the crowd put the question to this man, and asked him to summarize, in short, why they should not kill him. He contemplated this for a moment, and responded thusly:
"Whoops! Here's Mr. Jelly!"
This was not the stirring defense the crowd sought, and they descended upon him in force.
Otter, aka The Bursar, Mathematician (Town-aligned, Vanilla Townie) was lynched!
Well...they may not have flushed out another of the monsters, but at least they only lost the resident lunatic. That's gotta count for something, right? Few were able to convince themselves that this was any consolation, particularly the wizards at Unseen University, who, it seemed, would now need to find a new accountant. Sure, the man might've been mad half the time, but he could add and subtract like a demon.
To make matters worse, they rose in the morning to find another member of their staff killed. Well, kind of a member of the staff. He was an assistant librarian. Sometimes, when he wasn't being chased by beasties with more eyes than legs, or by unsympathetic men with swords. It seemed he'd finally found something he couldn't run away from.
He wasn't much of a wizard, it was true, but the remaining staff gave him the honors accorded someone who wore the traditional pointy hat, even if his did have a few too many sequins on it.
Corwin, aka Rincewind, Wizzard (Town-aligned, Vanilla Townie) was killed overnight!
It is now day five. With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.
There are 48 hours until the deadline.
