    *throws down Pet Bird dramatically*

    I think that the oracle may have accidentally stumbled upon a trap that Fourth of Twilight/Devotary made of Cutaway Vines while wandering the wilderness. Falling from above, it would naturally land on their head, and the painful struggle as they tried to escape would naturally leave their corpse in a terrible and untidy state. Fourth of Twilight probably set this up so he could prey on travelers and steal what he could from them before fleeing and leaving them to die alone in the wilderness, a despicable act driven out of desperation. Then he ran from the scene but stepped in something as he fled, leaving a Wetleek Sap Trail behind him. Therefore I nominate him for brutal and unmerciful torture, in the name of justice, of course.

    If it's not that, which is probably isn't, then, well, I was probably never getting back on the force anyway.

    Because of all the torture.

    What do you think the Food in mistborn looks like?

    I always try to cook something fitting for the Adventure game evenings and some inspiration is always welcome.

     

    Well they mention Bay Wraps a few times, so you could do something like a burrito or a Kebab filled with various stuff. The main thing is to stay away from fruit, because they don’t really have any during the Final Empire (no flowers = no flowering fruits).

    That attachment is from the spreadsheet. Hopefully you can see it. You'll notice that sword is listed twice, and that Aon Daa isn't, even though it's on both Rand's and Devotary's spreadsheets. I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious, but if feels weird.

    Okay, I figured it out. Technical stuff:

    Spoiler

    When I was "removing" an evidence column for the event today I added an extra hidden column on the Setup page which was messing up the VLOOKUP function) and so it was pulling the first value twice. 

    It should be all fixed now, but if you notice any other weirdness let me know!

    @Kidpen Woah weird, thanks for bringing this to my attention. The spreadsheet was working fine last night. I'm not quite sure what's going on but I'm looking into it right now. For the time being, refer to the player list in the first post of this thread (and disregard what I said earlier about the spreadsheet taking precedence- obviously it's broken right now)

    Short writeup finally added in.

    The next morning the investigators all sat around the small table in the Oracle’s shop, with bloodshot eyes and trembling hands, sipping coffee. None of them had been able to sleep the night before. Every now and then one of them would shudder or gasp or wimper as they had a flashback from the day spent searching the crypt. Nobody spoke.

    Day 3 has begun! The randomly selected tile ended up being an event:

    Quote

    Vision of the Past: The Oracle immediately randomly selects one evidence card for each player and removes it from consideration. This must be done without discussion. The Murderer's Key Evidence card may not be removed (randomly select a different card).

    Note: To implement this event relatively painlessly (it still took a bit of fiddling with the spreadsheet but I made it work) I simply randomly selected one entire column of Evidences and removed it (making sure the Assassin's Key Evidence wasn't removed). In the spreadsheet I have struck-through the removed column, and in the player list down below I have removed each player's evidence card and placed it in a separate column, so that you can easily see which evidences were removed. I'm mostly sure that I was able to do this correctly without making any mistakes anywhere, but if you notice any, let me know. In the case of any potential discrepancies, the spreadsheet takes precedence.

    In short, you all now know that the Key Evidence card is not one of the removed Evidences.

    Here are your Oracle clues (unchanged from last round):

    I think that Trell (red for corrupted Investiture) and Skeletals (red seal) are pretty clear.  

    I can't find anything else besides T'Telir, so I would vote that as well, unless anyone else has any other ideas.  

    Trell and Skeletals are both red agents!

    Writeup got edited in. People who have made their Attempts get special mention in the writeups as a bonus.

    Day 2: Cryptic Crypt

    The investigators sat down right in the Oracle's shop and spent the entire day poring over the strange clues that they had found, but despite all their best efforts couldn't make any sense of them. They were so enigmatic and baffling that it began driving some of the investigators just a little mad. After they realized that poring wasn't doing any good, They tried pouring sauce on the clues, but quickly realized that that was a poor idea. 

    Eventually they gave up and Oyh grew so frustrated that he grabbed the table and flipped it over. It made an odd hollow thumping sound as it hit the floor. The investigators glanced at each other, then shoved the table out of the way and threw aside the rug to reveal a trap door in the floor. Opening the door they discovered a rickety staircase descending into the gloomy darkness. Cautiously, they lit an oil lamp and made their way down the stairs. 

    If the room upstairs had been a living nightmare of disorganization, the cellar is where it went to die. Literally. The dank cellar was stuffed full of coffins, sarcophagi, caskets, urns, and catafalques. There was no organization to the mess, with the various burial boxes piled atop one another in a haphazard fashion with some leaning at angles against the walls. There were heaps of bones everywhere- none of them fresh, fortunately- piled on the floor and atop the caskets. A deeply unsettling feeling permeated the entire place, as if someone was standing right behind you, breathing on your neck.  

    "That can't be hygienic..." *The Witness mumbled. He turned away in disgust and noticed a small folded note pinned to the wall addressed to "The Investigators." Cocking an eyebrow, he unfolded it and scanned the note. "You've got to be kidding me," he said. The note read:

    Quote

    Dear Investigators,

    I knew you'd discover my family's private crypt, so I have hidden another clue or two for you in here. Search thoroughly and you might find them, but be careful, some of the spirits that haunt this place can be a bit touchy. Especially Aunt Jemina. Watch out for her. She's the one with the flaming red eyes who screams a lot and likes to infiltrate your nightmares. 

    Good luck!

    -Eban Naworeh

    Chief Oracle of Silverlight

    PS: Hurry up! By the time you discover this note my bonds will be starting to chafe. And I'll be getting hungry. Someone bring me a ham sandwich when you finally come to rescue me, alright?

    Day 1 is over, day 2 is inbound. Feel free to keep discussing while you wait if you wish. Unlike normal SE games there are no actions or deaths to worry about in between cycles.

    EDIT: I’m having technical difficulties with the spreadsheet because I’m on mobile right now. I’ll get it fixed and get Cycle 2 posted as soon as I can get to my computer- probably half an hour or so.

    Also, would anyone be able to confirm if the mechanic discussed at the end of last game regarding the Assassin/Co-Conspirator being able to lay a false trail among the clues has been implemented? That could be throwing off our guesses.

    We did not include that mechanic in this game. There are no hidden mechanics or roles or anything like that.

    I’m sort of bored, and I’m suspicious of Itiah so I’m making an accusation

    I think Itiah is the assassin, their method was the shades and the evidence they left behind was the  horseshoes 

    No. 

     

    And please remember to @ mention me when you post accusations. I check my mentions first, so this helps ensure I see accusations and respond to them more quickly.
