Alright, since I've gotten all of the PMs, I'm going to go ahead and end this phase a little early.
--------------------------------------------------------
The sound of guns were what filled the air over in Polaria as the resistance forces made their way into the atmosphere. The Jolli had already deployed their own forces, attempting to defend the city from the battle. Resistance fighters were popping in left and right, shooting down several of the Jolli ships, as they seemed to just keep coming.
“Look alive Holiday Mones, you’ve got Jolli ships on your tail!” One of the resistance fighters shouted, as the one called Holiday Mones attempted to outmaneuver them. “Really?! You think?! I never would have guessed!” he spat out in response as he kept trying to shake off the Jolli ships.
Meanwhile back at the resistance base, the masters were on their way to interrogate the soldier in the medical wing, realizing that he may have known something. Little did they realize, however, that another had already snuck into the room to interrogate the soldier themselves. The soldier was fast asleep, as he felt a hand cover his mouth...waking up with a start.
“It’s okay, I mean you no harm. I just want to ask some questions is all.” Merin Noel asked, as the soldier seemed startled. “Who are you? How did you get in here?” he asked demandingly as Merin tried to quiet him down. “I’m one of you, I just need information on what you know. Now what’s your name?” he asked, as the soldier still seemed somewhat unconvinced.
“I don’t trust you enough to tell you that, but my code name is Christmasmoot.” the soldier replied as Merin continued talking in a calm, but somewhat hurried tone. “Okay, good, Christmasmoot it is then. What do you know about the Jolli attack?” he asked, as the soldier looked around the room, as if considering escaping.
“I...I should wait for the masters. They’re wanting to know the same thing, and I’d trust telling them more than I’d trust you.” Christmasmoot replied, as Merin seemed a little offended by this remark. “Well you can tell me too, I promise I’m on your side.”
“Sorry, but no. You need to leave, now.” The soldier said simply, as Merin didn’t want to take no for an answer. He grabbed Christmasmoot’s hand and demanded an answer, as something seemed to happen to the soldier upon his touch. Christmasmoot’s expression suddenly changed as if a new sensation went through his body like a lightning bolt. Merin knew what had happened, as he’d seen the same thing happen to the Princess before...his power had gone out of control once again, and the soldier known as Christmasmoot was being engulfed internally by the Kristma Light that the Jolli would use to convert those to their side.
This was to Merin’s advantage since the soldier would now freely tell him everything...but this was also something that he didn’t want, since he was led to believe it robbed the soldier of his free will and basically made him a blissful slave.
Voices were heard down the way; the approaching masters. Panicking, Merin quickly made himself disappear before his crime could be spotted.
“Damnit, I can’t shake them!” Holiday Mones shouted as he still tried to outrun the Jolli Cane Wings that seemed to follow him almost too easily. He had made his way in between a narrow path between buildings as he watched the ships hit, unable to make the same journey through.
Mones relaxed for a bit, relieved that he had finally shaken off his pursuers, but that relief was short lived. As he made it to the end, an entire line of Jolli ships were waiting for him. He had barely made it out of the passage before he was engulfed by countless light-beams (beams of Kristma Light) that were shot from each of the ships. Before he realized it, something in him had changed...the dark veil against his face was finally lifted as if he had woken from a long sleep. He was now a Jolli, converted to the other side.
Elbbsas, aka Christmasmoot, a Krinkle Brother, was accidentally converted by the Adventurer (by random choice of the Wheel of Possibilities) when the Adventurer attempted to interrogate him for information.
Almonaster, aka Holiday Mones, the second Krinkle Brother, was ambushed by the Jolli and converted.
Before you ask,
both characters are basically dead.Well, the battle is over, and Polaria is still in the hands of the Jolli. It’s time to get back to base and regroup. You still have Jolli Lords in your midst, and it’s become even more crucial to beat them now that there are a total of
6 non-Jolli players left,
technically 5 since the Adventurer is a neutral member.
But before you go, it’s time for a special present! That’s right, it’s time for the wheel of Merriment!
For those of you who can’t view youtube, the result was “Negated Kills next night” which means that the Jolli will be unable to convert someone in the next night phase. This also extends to the Adventurer: if their scenario involves a choice which could invoke any kind of death/converting, it will automatically be nulled.
So take heart Joieux! You’ll have a night of respite in the next night to recover from the horrendous loss of 2 members.
But for now, let’s get back into our Planning Phase! Talk it out and let’s see if you can figure out a Jolli this phase. We’ll end this Planning Phase on 12/13 at 6:30AM PST.
