Klara looked to the elf, "I would much rather prefer you continue to just meditate for all our sake's. It will make tracking the assasin's in the hall's much easier. All this wandering in the halls is why we have so many suspects, but no assassins."

"As suspicious as Boris may seem we do not know his side of the story. Let us give him a chance to tell us how exactly he was injured before we condem him to death. There is nothing telling us Wilheim isn't the assassin and our charming witch hunter his assistant. Those who don't vote may be putting us at a disadvantage but those who are so quick to work together in these untrusting times are more suspicious""

"Theodoric, may I add we apparently have very different perspectives on why someone would be innocent? How is the mere claim of being a Witch Hunter proof of someone's innocence? How is that pathetic gash on your body a proof of innocence and not of your failure to assassinate someone else?" Markus contorted.

"The reason I'm targeting those who attempt to prove their innocence through petty and circumstantial evidence is because, from my point of view, those are the ones that are trying to escape judgement. And really.. A Witch Hunter that cannot defend himself but has to rely on a retired War Veteran to protect him? And you yourself.. Why did you patch yourself up that poorly if you could've asked for a staff member to bandage your wounds?" Markus continued, staring at Theodoric suspiciously.

"And really? Who was out and about last night? Can you point them out? Who tells me Boris was the perpetrator instead of the victim? Pray tell me what makes Wilhelm and Wolfram's claims so believable to your ears?"

"I guess since not all of you are merchants you haven't had any proper mathematics knowledge taught during your upbringing.
If we vote for Boris and we find him innocent, we can then get two cultists in a row by declaring both Wilhelm and Wolfram's claims false!!"

He straightened, and then continued.

"If he is found guilty, then we will have found a cultist."

Lady Elisabeth surveys the room carefully, as ever carefully listening to all the words being spoken and stories revealed. Upon hearing the Elven merchant shout, she stands up firmly. "Please do calm yourself. You make a good point but must you shout? I know I am the last to speak bad of panic after condemning that innocent Anika to so terrible a death, but in a way it made me feel that I owe it to her now to remain as steady as I can."

She peers around. "As do we all. Maybe it is because I am not a war veteran, and Sigmar only knows what the merchants amongst you have seen on streets near and far. But that spirited girl deserves a better legacy than causing people to lose their heads."

"As I said, however... Our tall friend does make a good point. I shall have to cast my vote to go to Boris, though he should know that if he has a plausible story, I am not closing my ears for it."

Third on your list of suspects Wilhelm? You are quite silly, I am far taller than any of you, and thinner as well. I would not be able to hide my identity even should I have been the perpetrator.

What I so far suspect is this, that some of you have held a vendetta against others, and that this has caused some to walk the night in an attempt to settle those grudges. I suspect this is the case with Anika, and I suspect that many of those caught outside their door was there for a reason. I do not buy into the story of going out merely to take a leak -you all have chamberpots, or any other reason for that matter. No, going out at that time, when we all know there is a murderer at large is suspiscious. Henche why I made my offer quite openly.

I still refuse to cast a vote however, firstly it is not my kin that has been killed. Secondly I do not have any conclusive proof. Though Boris' lack of defense does speak very poorly for him, and Olanis does make a compelling point. Even if it is a point of sacrificing an innocent to have two guilty.

Though, if they are guilty of the murders and being assassins? That is an alltogether different question, I do not believe the flour to be clean to use that phrase though.

'Taken by surprise, even the most experienced warrior can falter. It is no proof. And had I cut myself attacking another, do you not think they would have come forward and claimed to have wounded their opponent? Do not be so naive and make foolish claims without thinking them through. As for help binding my wounds, I hardly trust anyone around me to approach me when I am alone. I had it rebound when we were together and safe.'


'Clearly others were around in the night if people were attacked - two attacked me the other night. And I trust Wolfram because at least his story explains his actions. Why are you so fast to accuse those who give a reason as to their innocence while those that do nothing and say nothing are above your suspicion?'

He turned away and looked at others.

'Voting for Boris may reveal cultists and innocents, but it may not have been him, unless you are sure Wilhelm. And who is to say that the attacker in the night was unconnected to another assassin. It will prove nothing for certain, though I agree with your suggestion in theory. What have you to say for yourself Boris?'

"To be fair Thalos, I am nearly as tall as yourself, not certainly not as well built, our frame is similar enough for either of us to be mistaken for the other."

OOC: I got the impression that you forgot that i'm a High Elf as well? So maybe Lethalis was referring to me shouting, which is a reasonable interpretation of my use of bold letters.

Granted, but neither of us is likely to be mistaken for a human assassin during the night, we are both too tall and too thin compared to the humans.

"I think we should all stop arguing amongst ourselves until Boris has had a chance to speak. For like Thalos I do not think the situation is as simple and clear cut as some here argue. So I will not cast vote so early in the day when Boris' words could help give us a more accurate idea of what occured last night."

"I do not believe you were the person I fought last night, elf, that was obviously a human male. You are third on my list of subjects for your behavior.

Boris rose and cleared his throat.

"I am indeed wounded." He said whimpering as he revealed the wound on his arm. "However I never left my room, but was attacked during the night, but luckily I was able to fend off the attacker, who fled, but I was left wounded and didn't dare to pursue. Neither could I see who attacked me. I have no idea who these assassins are, but they are certainly incompetent and I find it hard to believe a Witch Hunter of countless skirmishes with the depraved cultists would have to depend on others for his personal safety."

"Theodoric, maybe they never identified you..?" Markus contorted with a rather spiteful tone. "Wolfram explains his actions.. Right.. Something along the lines of.. 'I'm a Witch Hunter that cannot defend himself so I hid behind Wilhelm cause he's so strong and brave.' Very believable.. Very smart to reveal yourself to be a Witch Hunter the next morning as well.."

Markus sighed.

"And now that we've heard Boris his side of the story.. Are you still so over confident he did it?"

"Let's look at it this way. I know that the attacker was a human male, that rules out the elves and the ladies, leaving Theodoric, Ruprecht, Reinholdt, Markus, Wolfram and Boris. Out of these I'm certain Wolfram didn't attack himself. Of the remaining suspects, Boris is the most suspicious, as we only have his word that he was attacked and fought off the attacker. He might be telling the truth, but just as well he might be lying. With his defence being so flimsy and the fact that he's the only one of us besides myself who's injured, I think that he's the most likely assassin"

"But Wilhelm how do we know that you were not headed to Wolfram's room to kill Wolfram, just like the person who was trying to enter it, instead of heading to the privy as you claim? Even if Boris is condemned and found guilty today it does not speak to your innocence Wilhelm Heidmann, only to our self titled Witch Hunter's incompetence. Wolfram how do you truly know that Wilhelm wasn't outside of your door to murder you? You both have confirmed to us that he was outside your door. Boris' wound could be from a seperate completely attack as he claims and he unlike you Wilhelm has not admitted to wandering outside of others' doors. As I recall Wilhelm you did not say that you wounded your attacker but only drove him off, if so any of the men gathered here today could have been the attacker you fought off. So today I wil vote for you Wilhelm Heidmann and I will not change my vote unless you or someone else convinces me that you had only pure motives wandering the halls or that Boris was indeed the man you fought."
Vote Wlhelm Heidmann

Olanis rose, visibly angry.
"You fools! You can't all be the murderers so surely most of you are simply fools! I know I put myself into the sights of the assassins and over zealous innocents among you by saying this, but I was also out on the hallway last night. Having spent most of the early night feeling indisposed from someone's attempt to poison me I was sure that they would yet come for me that night. Instead I stood witness to Wilhelm fighting someone outside Wolfram's door. He was seemingly victorious and after his attacker left he left himself."

He tried to relax, to no avail with his face still of a reddish tint.

"There, my head has been thrown into the bargain. Logic dictates we vote for Boris, if he is innocent, then three assassins, Wilhelm, Wolfram and Myself will have been found."

His gaze surveyed those in the room.

"What have you to say to that?"

"Listen to me Olanis. Your logic is flawed. Boris' guilt or innocence does not conclsively prove anyone elses innocence or guilt. Any one who was out roaming the halls the past few nights could have intended murder includng Wolfram two nights previously. If Boris is condemed and found guilty that does not clear anyone gathered here of all suspicion in my eyes. For there may be other killers or would be killers among us all acting independently of each other."

"That is all completely true. And by your own logic you should still vote for Boris. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence against him when compared to the evidence against Wilhelm, which is...zero? I doubt there is anyone here who does not have some interest in someone else's demise, we are all in Marienburg after all, but we are looking for actual assassins, so we should focus on them instead of throwing random accusations around.

You have yet to give any good reason for someone to vote for anyone else but Boris."

The human is correct Olanis, and please behave with the dignity of our kin rather than an enamoured, passionate century-young child seeking his first love. What one person does is in no way conclusive towards what another may do, guilt and innocence is determinded by a single persons actions, not by the actions of others.

Still, you should elaborate on this, how come that you saw a fight yet did not think to intervene and try to identify the culprit? Is that the bravery and resourcefulness of the Olanis that I hired to oversee my tradings here in Marienburg? And is the best you can come up with truly to state that not one, but three assassins roam amongst us? Seemingly without coordination?

Let us review what we know one more time, after the first night we know the following;
Theoderic looked pale and Elisabeth quite shaken
Theoderic claimed to have been attacked, twice. -and had a slash across his chest to prove it.
Lady Elisabeth also claimed to have been attacked.

Markus pointed out that the wound Theoderic had suffered might have been self inflicted.

Wolfram and Anika was both outside their room the first night. Anika was executed so she is however out of the question of guilt now.

Second night,
Someone tried to poison Olanis
Boris has a cut on the arm
Wilhelm walked with a slight limp.

The following persons have, by their own admission, been outside their room during the night:
Olanis, Wilhelm

Boris claims to have been in his own room.

In addition Wolfram has made the claim to be a witch hunter, this caused Markus to vote for him immediately as he found the story uncredible.

Did I miss anything so far? *the elf arches an eyebrow looking at the gathered people* If not, then we can conclude the following, we have had three alleged attacks the first night, one or two fights the second. If Boris' story is true we still have two assassins here, if Boris lies we have one and had a fight outside the room. This however does not explain three attacks the first night.

If we presume that Anika was an attempted murderer, but not a true assassin, then she would account for one of the attacks last night, but it still leaves a question on how many of us truly desires the death of the rest.

"Poisoned you say Olanis? And roaming the hallways as well; and yet not so very long ago you claimed that you were perfectly fine. May I ask why you felt the need to hide the fact that you had been targeted?

"Now if we accept for the moment that Wolfram was in his room and putting aside for the moment the issue of his being a witch hunter we can rule him out for now. And if we assume that Wilhelm was not attempting to get into his room, which seems unlikely since after seeing off the assassin he made no further move to assassinate Wolfram. Given that he was seen by Wolfram I think we must take the view that either both of them are guilty or neither and as I can see little advantage for them in pretending that Wolfram was attacked so that Wilhelm could pull off a fake rescue I am inclined to rule them out for now.

"Everyone seems certain that the attacker was a human male, though given that we know little of our attackers and their abilities it seems unwise to exclude the elves and women entirely. Ruling out Wolfram, Wilhelm that leaves us with Theodric, Ruprecht, Markus, Boris and myself.

"Out of us only Boris is injured, now this may be as he says the result of an attack, but he did not volunteer any such information until attention was drawn to him and if Olanis and Wolfram were attacked that would bring the total up to three, one more than on the first night.

"So someone is lying and I think it boils down to this, was anyone wounded in a fight outside Wolfram's room? If so Boris may be our man, if not then Wilhelm has a lot of explaining to do and Wolfram's position become considerably less safe. The day wares on so I shall cast my lot.

"Okay let us try to expand our horizons here... I personally believe that Theoderic is innocent... With that we know Boris was attacked and Wolfram is allegedly a witch hunter... Therefore, that leaves Markus, Ruprecht and Reinhold. These three human males we do not know the whereabouts last night. Therefore can the three of you be honest with the group and tell us what you were doing the first and second nights."

Olanis blushed and fell to a knee in front of the older elf.

"Forgive me Thalos, I did not mean to lose my composure nor to shame our kin."

He looked up and continued.

"However, I beseech you to believe in he who has worked so faithfully under you for the past decade. I did witness a fight, and since I was unsure of the intentions of those involved I thought it best to wait until its conclusion to take action against whoever revealed himself to bear ill intent. Wilhelm was the clear victor of the fight, but upon his victory I could discern no intent to bear harm on Wolfram and he simply returned to his room."

He turned his head slightly to the side to Reinhold's direction.

"Forgive my previous sarcasm, I thought it obvious that last night someone did target me, hence why I will touch no more food for the remainder of our stay."

Reinhold shrugged at Klara's request "I don't see what good it will do since I doubt any of us will have any proof but I was sitting in my room with a double shotted pistol in one hand and a high sugar energy cake in the other on the first night. On the second I was asleep until about half past midnight when I woke up, realised I had dozed off, drank some cold coffee I had left from earlier to wake me up and resumed my staring at the door with a pistol in my hand."

You are forgiven Olanis, but keep in mind that we need a clear and focused mind here to find the perpetrator or perpetrators.

*with that he turns towards Reinholdt* Now may I give you a little piece of advice? Do try to sleep, even if it has to be a midday nap, or sleep in short intervals. If you bar yourself completly from sleep then sleep will creep up on you, and you won't wake in case danger comes for you. It is better to sleep lightly than to fall into an exhausted sleep where an enemy may easy catch you.

Besides, if you lock the door before you room, and take measures you should be woken up long before an assassin manage to creep into your room.

"Ruprecht, I believe it's you who's logic is flawed. If I had wished to kill Wolfram, what better time would there have been than after I had supposedly saved him? After I fought off this mystery man, why wouldn't I have walked into his room on the pretense of checking if he was alright and then killing him when he was off-guard? And before you answer that Wolfram would have known I was an assassin or that he had known or even expected that the mystery assassin was there to guard him, remember that Wolfram has said himself that I was there to save him."

"Seriously.. Why is everyone in the halls looking for suspicious activities at night instead of sleeping? Am I the only one that actually stays in his quarters at night?" Markus said as he covered his face with his hand.

"In my honest opinion.. You are all fools when you speak of logic and murder in a single sentence." He continued. "Boris's claim is as valid to me as Wolfram's although Boris seems a bit less zealous in claiming his purity. So.. I'm picking his side on this matter, even if only to attempt to prevent the slaughter of one that could be innocent."

"I'll have to cast my vote, if not only to save my own life. Wilhelm and Wolfram seem to be in some sort of agreement. I do not trust the story of a witch hunter hiding behind a war veteran and what did Wilhelm have to do outside his room in the middle of the night? He could have gone after Wolfram, but didn't and as a result it did cast the suspicions after me and several other males gathered in this room. I do not trust either of them and so my vote will go to Wilhelm."

"If I may add a detail to your story, Thalos, that first night someone attempted to break into my room through the window, and upon seeing me awake this person - of whom I could neither face nor body in the darkness of my room - fled back, praised be the gods. Had this person decided to attack me, I..." Lady Elisabeth shivers, looking down to the ground.

Then, she turns to Markus. "Your intent to keep the number of victims is admirable and this is our common ground. Nevertheless I feel we should not abstain from voting simply to reduce the number slain by our hand. Women and men...," her gaze drifts to the pair of Ulthuanites, "... and Elves that we united fall upon may be innocent. But those taken by the individuals amongst us surely are! I could cast my vote for Wilhelm in the hopes of drawing the count, but then what? Shall we let the assassins roam unhindered a further night on purpose? We'll never get them that way. Should we, with equal votes, condemn two fellow attendents? My heart balks at the thought of such risk of taking life. Neither alternative seems compelling to me. It is with a heavy heart, again, that I speak out my vote with the utmost hope that we find ourselves bereft of he who ails us so."

Vote: Boris Shuvlov

"From someone who is being put to death we have heard little from you Boris, care to throw in some words to make me alter my opinion on joining this bandwagon against you?"

The last rays of sunlight faded as night approached once again. And once again, it would not be the assassin's blades which would draw blood. Lord Frederich sighed, "Boris Shuvlov, your fellows have made their decision." He paused. "Should you be found innocent, I will see to it that you receive a proper burial in your homeland."

The guards restrained him as the sentence was carried out. "Bury me wherever you like, but know that you kill an innocent man!" Boris cursed his executioners in his native tongue, but made no attempt to escape, and met his fate with surprising bravery.

A search of his belongings turns up a series of letters revealing that Boris had fallen from the Tzarina's favour, and a list of competitors whose businesses competed with Kislevite interests. It seems that Boris may have been plotting against these people, but it is clear that he was no proper assassin, or a servant of the Dark Powers.

OOC: It is now NIGHT! Please PM me your actions.

The fallen:
Anika Elzacher: Vengeance-seeking noble, executed on Day 2.
Boris Shuvlov: Disgraced noble of Kislev, executed on Day 3.
