This Phase's Event:

Drinking From The Holy Chalice

Today's event will require five volunteers. It'll be a little more elaborate than usual. Full details to follow.

Remember you cannot take part in a phase's event and be this phase's Leader.

Last night, Errkal and Denster discovered the beautifully ornate Chapel. It seems strange for an old house like this to have its own Chapel - perhaps a sign that we're not the first group of innocents to be trapped here, fighting against ungodly creatures.

Beautiful religious paintings line the walls, showing the Virgin, the Son, and His Disciples. The last light of sunset illuminates a single stained-glass window. Considering the state of the rest of the mansion, this room is eerily well-preserved. It isn't even dusty: truly this is a holy place.

Chained to the altar is the Book of White Magic. As Errkal can attest to, this hugely heavy book contains details of rituals that we could call upon in our quest.

And so, here we are.

This morning, we shall attempt one of these rituals.

The White Book refers to a heavy crystal chalice which, when drank from on the solstice, can impart superhuman toughness to the skin of the drinker. It just so happens that this phase is the solstice.

This event requires five volunteers. They drink in alphabetical order and may gain the ability to resist one attempt on their life. However, as the chalice is very heavy, they may drop it, shattering it and ending the event.

The odds for this event will work as follows:

- if the drinker is an omnivore, they will have a 25% chance of gaining the blessing of the chalice.
- if the drinker is any other role, they will have a 50% chance of gaining the blessing.
- if the drinker is an omnivore, they will have a 20% chance of dropping the chalice.
- if the drinker is any other role, they will have a 50% chance of dropping the chalice.
- all of these outcomes will be determined by a random number generator.


The thread will be notified as to whether the chalice has been drunk from or dropped, but only the drinker will be notified as to whether or not they have been blessed.

NOTE: the odds for gaining the blessing and dropping the chalice are separate i.e. it isn't so that if you don't do one, you will do the other. It's entirely possible that a cannibal could drink from the chalice without dropping it and not gain a blessing, for example.

I will post again shortly, after which time anyone will be free to volunteer themselves for this event. (If you've volunteered already - sorry - you'll have to do so again. I want everyone to have at least half a chance to read this post)

You may now all volunteer.

First five get to go to the Chapel.


(If you've volunteered already - sorry - you need to do so again.)

Blimey if you accepted everyone who's already signed up you'd have your 5 by now.

In my attempt to try and keep things fair and balanced, I didn't want anyone to be able to 'pre-order' a spot. Hope you agree that's fair. :D
(And no, I wouldn't have five by now.)

I am running.

I put forward the idea we kill either Frank or Euan. If some of the clothes work to prevent cannibalism, I'd imagine some would promote it based on that wording so wouldn't try them on.

Well once we get another clue it could lead us to one of the other two names thay fit, I notice they've not said much since the last clue.

Edit: might as well stick my vote in the ring now rather than leave it.

Errkal (1) - euan
Qikz (0)

Also, could the 2 candidates let us know which way they intend to answer the clothes question?

Qikz did a very stylish copy paste job on his anti-dress up stance, and I believe errkal is for dress-up.

Personal I'm not particularly bothered on that point, the worst I can imagine happening is the cannibals retaining their two kills.
