Okay, i want to help Kazio.

Quen is indeed a protective skill.
As it's purpose is to create a defensive shield around the user.

Yrden is a kind of roleblocking role, as it disables enemies.

Igni in this case, is probably a killing skill.

Axi is a charm, so it's a redirector type of skill.
As it makes your enemies fight alongside.

Those 4 are pretty clear.

Aard doesn't make much sense in mafia.
As it's purposes is to knock over objects or people.
Maybe, it disarms opponents.
Some of the people in this game have some kind of weapon, maybe it removes them.
Or maybe, it stuns your target.
So they can't vote the next day.
It wouldn't be a roleblocking role, as that's yrden.

So there, that's my 2 bits of Witcher lore.

[Kaziocore]

But the kikimora is there in the flavour text.
Everything that's in the flavour text is related to what happened in the game.
So why would that be added in?

It's unlikely that there's an actual kikimora in the game because

1) I don't see how a kikimora could team up with either an Alp or a Werewolf (my guess)

2) Something "big and strong" killed the Alp so this does not refer to a kikimora

3) Because SealTeamPi was neither lynched nor killed by scum, brewers most likely created a lore-friendly flavor text for the mod kill so why would he divulge info regarding the setup there

[Robert2424]

Yeah. Kazio's reasoning makes more sense, Couse i don't know the lore while mk dose.

Though I have wonder if mk given his lack of response. (Unless I missed it?) Just choose me as a more likely party to try to lynch besides maybe tw or Kevin.

[Lord MK]

Well, geralt thought that it must have been something big and strong, that doesn't mean that it's true.
What geralt thinks may not be true.
But yeah, stp wasn't really lynched.
So it's a weak vote.
Probably will shift, as soon as velocity makes a blunder.

As soon as *I* make a blunder?
What a way to throw an accusation in a sideways way.
I know I’m town, so the only “blunder” I’d make in your eyes is voting for one of your scum buddies, no?

[Robert2424]

Why do you assume Velocity going to make a random blunder? Thats something really odd to say about anybody. 

[KevinH]

Canik's final vote was on Velocity.  Assume he put the contract on Velocity.
 

(Canik):"I have another contract for you!  I know she is a monster!  She must die."

Geralt laughed when he heard the name.  "No"  he said as he road off.

Geralt and Jaskier made it maybe 100 yards when they heard a scream behind them.  Geralt drew his silver sword and road roach back.  He found the man who offered him the contract gutted, his intestines lay beside him on the road.  Serves him (Canik) right for asking me to kill her (Velocity), he thought.
 

"Serves him right" ... I think this sort of clears Velocity
 
Kaziocore, can you confirm that the contract was on Velocity?

 

This does not clear Velocity
This only means that Canik suspects Velocity

What does "Serves him right" mean in this context?

It seems most likely that it refers to him trying to kill a townie.

[Robert2424]

I interpreted as he was dissatisfied with the contract options he was given.

[The Warrior]

The deadline is tomorrow so we need to decide our course of action.

I still don’t think that we have the full contract mechanic figured out but I have a feeling it works something like this:
-Certain townies (maybe VT’s? or just a specified person like canik) have the ability to submit a contract to the Witcher anonymously at night.
-The Witcher can then obviously choose whether or not to act.

The question is, why would canik feel so adamant about having velocity targeted?

@Kazio - can you confirm that contracts are offered to you anonymously and what goes into your decision to act on them or not?

[Kaziocore]

Correct and I should just message the mod which player to kill
Not responding is equivalent to not killing anyone

Because the mod has to put a flavor text for me ignoring the contract (I was actually away so I couldn't reply on time)

Since it's almost deadline, I have to go with my top suspect
I felt that he's just pretending to scum hunt.
 

Well as a town I can tell you we're not told who the Witcher is. At least, I definitely wasn't. xD

While some have said everyone seems scummy, I think everyone seems townie.

Velocity not voting bothers me, but it would have been just as easy to throw a meaningless vote somewhere if the goal is to avoid being in on a lynch.

Vote analysis doesn't yield too much. I won't condemn those that voted for Rafay, myself included, because we had to lynch someone.

Wolfpacks was voting for Robert, so maybe Robert or his scum group killed Wolfpacks. It could just as easily be a frame job though.

 
Zzz what a boring take. I mean yeah there are excuses from everyone and there's always the wine in front of you. I hope for more interesting analysis from you soon, KevinH. +1 scum points for you with this boring, safe, say-nothing "analysis"

He only started sharing his reads when Canik noticed this.

 

Now, we only get lazy analysis of the night result

Vote: KevinH

 

If KevinH turns out as scum, I'd suspect Velocity next

[The Warrior]

I have a conflicting opinion on Kevin. I somewhat share your suspicion of him but I’m just not completely sold on anyone still. We are running out of time however and need to do something. If anyone has anything new to share, please do.

Vote: MK

I know I’m town and we have to do something, and he’s currently the most suspicious to me, especially with his halfway accusation towards me and saying he expected me to make a blunder.

[Robert2424]

We are devided. It dosent really help anybody but scum.

[Velocity]

Your case isn’t helped because I role blocked you last night and I got a return that it failed, not that it didn’t work or nothing happened, but that it failed. For now I don’t suspect you 100% but you aren’t dismissed.

I’m now down half my abilities, because as you see, I am a JOAT.

Yennefer the Sorceress.

It’s why Geralt mentioned he (Canik) got what he deserved for asking him (Kazio) to kill “her,” (me). I hinted at it earlier in the game, when Canik said he didn’t know who the Witcher was I said I would know because of why my character is and their relationship with Geralt, and it figures that a town power role wouldn’t also be able to pay contracts to the Witcher.

I’m not going to risk myself tonight after revealing myself, and I’m going to use one of my spells, “heal” to protect myself.

My vote stays on MK until I have reason otherwise.

[The Warrior]

You say you’re down half of your abilities and that you role blocked Robert last night. What other abilities have you used and on whom? You’ve already role claimed. You might as well tell us everything you’ve done and what results you received.

Night 1, I was the only person who didn’t vote, so I thought I was a likely target for scum to target for an easy kill, so I used Teleport to switch myself and CM since he was somewhat under the radar, and neither of us died or anything.
Night 2, last night, I used Mind Control, which allows me to attempt to stop a player from doing an action any given night on Robert, which I was told that my attempt to mind control Robert failed.

I have Heal and Magical Shield left. These two confuse me, because they seem to do basically the same thing in effect, though they are different in actual what they do.
Heal means I will heal any player of my choosing, I’m doing it to myself tonight so I don’t die.
Magical Shield allows me to make a player protected from all natural attacks.

I can only use each of them once, so I’ve used Teleport and Mind Control. I have Heal and Magical Shield left.

[KevinH]

I'm going with Velocity as a believable role claim.

Vote: Lord MK

 

I didn't understand MK's vote on Robert.

[Kaziocore]

I'll wait for the rest of the players before deciding whether to switch my vote or remain with KevinH

[Lord MK]

Canik suspected velocity for a reason.
That's why i am still suspicious of velocity.
Right from the off, canik was really doing town's work.
So if canik suspected velocity, there must have been a reason.

And yes, kevin have been spooked after canik calling him out.
So there's that.

And Robert may or may not be the kikimora.

And then we have TW, who i think is town.

Kazio is certainly town.


And to save myself,


Vote: Kevin
