Had a chance to get this underway earlier than anticipated and figured, hey, why wait further? I'm as anxious as the rest of you to see the
carnagefun begin.
First, some mood music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTcxqhKedAUFifteen people stood gathered at the only exit from the Estate. The solid iron portcullis blocking the gate mocked any attempt at egress without the proper key. And that key, of course, was nowhere to be found.
Fifteen people thought back to the morning's breakfast Feast. ("It's time for breakFEAST!" the Lord had jovially greeted them. Happier times.) They remembered the food taster carefully being served a sample of each dish provided, including the Lord's signature roast suckling pig. They knew the food taster survived, whereupon all staff withdrew and the Lord and his guests tucked in. Which meant that the poison - or acid - or whatever it was that had slain the Lord so, ah,
emphatically - had to have been introduced by one of them.
Fifteen people had the same word on their minds. "Mafia." Only the Mafia had the resources, talent, and sheer psycopathy to start this campaign of death and terror. And they would certainly wage it to the end. The end, in this case, meaning the death or destruction of the Town's leaders. Starting with the Lord... and ending with themselves.
Fifteen people considered the Town's only one chance. That the "chosen" fifteen band together and, through reasoning, investigation, and perhaps a solid dose of luck, ferret out the Mafia hiding in their midst. In a sense, the Mafia were trapped there just as much as the Townies. The only way to hide would be in plain sight.
Fifteen people began to sweat, and the crucible's fire was just getting started. Who would be lynched by the angry mob? Who would die, silently (or not), in the night? Who would be left standing when the portcullis was finally raised? Who would prove the victor...
