I still say Lady Beatrice is the most dangerous amongst us. See my post on the previous page. But also:

FACT - It was Lady Beatrice's words on Day 1 that revealed the existence of a Sorcerer and Wizard. The Sorcerer proved to be Neutral and the Wizard a Citizen. I wonder which faction that puts Beatrice in? At first we all thought Lady Beatrice was a blabbermouth, but in short order both the Sorcerer and the Wizard were voted off. She suddenly doesn't look so stupid now, does she?

FACT - Beatrice not only exposed her own husband, but was also cheating with him on his rival. Both men were subsequently killed in 2 days.

FACT - Two days in a row, Lady Beatrice has used the 'Oh noes, if everyone else is voting a certain way, I guess I'll cast the deciding vote!!11!!' tactic to distract attention that she is carefully gauging the mood of the crowd and then voting at the end to throw suspicion off herself.

FACT - Beatrice explicity said yesterday 'Sirion has stated anyone who casts the last vote for him is a Dragon. What if he is loyal? Will I have to come tumbling down tomorrow becuase of that! It seems so sad that to get rid of one I may lose myself'. Her tactic today is distraction to take away from her own admission that the person to cast the last vote is actually herself.

FACT - Beatrice also said this yesterday: 'Moments ago, I was told by Sirion that I had to take back my vote, or die. He said that he saw what I was going. He said that I got rid of my husband, and then him, and that his last act in this game would be making everyone see the truth about me.' Since Viripont was found to be innocent, Beatrice's statement was clearly a lie! I don't know how everyone is letting this point go! The next day, the man who supposedly tries to kill her is a martyr and she starts putting words in his mouth as to who is guilty. Remember that she explicitly asked Viripont to identify who he thought was suspicious and he refused.

I advise you all to read through the last pages of Day 3 once more and see how Beatrice has behaved.

I don't know why the Dragons think I'm such a threat, but I have done nothing wrong, and someone with information clearly knows I didn't leave my room last night. All along, I have repeatedly stated my position that I hate magic and wish to see it cast out of this kingdom, so my motives were voting have been transparent from the start. Unlike Lady Beatrice, I have not played the fool, lied, made up stories, slept around and put accusing words in dead men's mouths.

I have said my piece now and I shall say no more on these points. I know it is a difficult time for all of us, but I hope that reason and logic can lead us away from the chaos and mindless accusations that the Dragons would foster.

Finally someone has been able to piece together the ramblings of a crazy contradicting person who is the real cause of our dilemma. Lady Harcourt has confused and mislead us all, especially myself who was looking for the Dragons to be amongst the Magic folk. I admit my wrong doing yet so many others were quick to vote in addition to myself yet the blame seems to be laid at my feet for pursuing Vipont with such vigour, that is to be understandable, I was wrong and hope to goodness we finally get a true Dragon otherwise I feel our disjointed haphazard methods will lead to many more innocent deaths.

Lady Harcourt just lied to me in a private conversation about his actions last night in a desperate attempt to get me to vouch for her. That sealed the deal for me. Simon, you shall live another day for now if the vote turns to Lady Harcourt.

Unvote: Simon/ISC

Vote: Lady Harcourt/Zepher

We can't afford to have our votes divided... Friar, I have looked at your quick facts very carefully and relate to the past tragic events, and your words have definitely made some sense to me. I will amend my vote accordingly. For now, Simon shall live for another night, hoping that we have rid a far more greater threat...

Unvote: Simon the Librarian/I Scream Clone

Vote: Lady Harcourt/Zepher

Finally people may just see that I was merely a misled Citizen and we will notch a victory for the good guys.

You know, the way I think about it now, invesitgating won't do a thing.

Yeah, there's this little thing called lying, which whoever may be investigated will probably do.

As for you you continue to play us all for fools, I feel your time will soon be up too, if people choose to not vote me out they may yet turn their attentions towards you for your contradictory stories.

For now I Vote Lady Harcourt/Zepher. Let us hope we get a win tonight. Please feel free to investigate either myself to prove my innocence or determine whether Agnes is indeed a Dragon.

Clearly having Lady Harcourt around isn't helping us at all, I just hope we're not doing a horrible mistake like we did with Sirion Vote: Lady Harcourt / Zepher

Clearly having Lady Harcourt around isn't helping us at all, I just hope we're not doing a horrible mistake like we did with Sirion

I hope the same, but at least we will know more tomorrow. If Lady Beatrice turns out to be innocent after all, I for one know where to place the blame for this vote.

As for you you continue to play us all for fools, I feel your time will soon be up too, if people choose to not vote me out they may yet turn their attentions towards you for your contradictory stories.

See? He's twisting my words. I'm not the only one here that thinks you're a Dragon, so stop saying "Oh, let's vote Agnes off because she wants to save the Castle!"

How - how blind I have been, the Frair is right! Or at least he makes more sence... Unvote: Simon/ISC, Vote: Lady Harcourt/Zepher. Thats the nine needed for?. I hope you realise Francis, that if you are wrong, then you will likely have the majouritey of votes tomorrow.

I am just so confused. Are there no investigators in this castle?

There might be, but it's likley they fear for their life, and thus don't want to revile themselves. I'm sure I wouldn't!

Excellent point my friend. If I were an investigator, I would want to know if there were any more protectors inside the castle. That would be the only safe way.

Vote: Lady Harcourt/Zepher

Vote Count

Simon, Librarian (I Scream Clone) - 3 Votes (Striker, JimButcher, Zepher)

A majority of 9 votes is required to convict, therefore Zepher has been convicted.

The sun was beginning to set, and the residents of the castle had once again come to a decision. Had they got the right person tis time, or had they made another fatal error? For Lady Beatrice Harcourt, it really didn't matter either way, because she was dead no matter what now...

As the people gathered around her, Lady Harcourt didn't look to flustered, as she was just coming to grips with her new situation, in which she would very shortly not have a head. She looked around at the mob.

"Listen, you don't want to kill me", she laughed forcefully. "I'm innocent, really. You're making a mistake. Why don't we all just sit down to dinner and discuss this a bit more?"

The residents looked on in unamused silence. They weren't going to change their minds so easily.

"Guards, take her to the dungeons", the Captain ordered. "Let her await the executioner and the penalty for her treachery there."

The guards moved in on the Lady, eager to take her away for execution.

"Oh dammit", she cried, as she was dragged away. "I don't want to die!"

The residents, pleased that they had come to a decision, went about their business, some staying to talk, others going back to their duties or to bed. The situation was bearable for most, if a facade of normality was kept up. But the situation was far from normal, as they all knew, and one could not help but feel a tingling sense of unease at the pace at which the residents were one by one being killed off...
