All I can say is good luck to town, but I think you're screwed.
Part 1.

One by one, the party trickled into a large central chamber close to where the fighting broke out. There, they found the wizard yogsloth, sitting on his haunches humming a happy little tune to himself, surrounded by a legion of dead goblins.

“So little fellow, what do you think?” he asked the struggling young goblin he held in his hands. “Shall your soul go into the crystal too? Hmmm?” He gave the wretched creature a shake. The terrified goblin could only squeak and shriek in terror. “No, no. I don’t think we’ll sully the waters in the crystal with a soul as feeble and filthy as yours.”

Growing tired of the sport, the wizard stood, and with a firm wrench, twisted the creature’s head from its shoulders with a sickening pop. He chucked both parts over his shoulder and gave his hands a light dusting.

“Aha, I see you have all returned. Did you have as much fun as I?” he asked the staggering adventurers. “What a grand adventure, hey? Ha! I bagged thirty-one, myself. How about you, JMich, how many did you take?”

Astonished at the question, JMich considered thoughtfully for a moment. “Actually,” he replied, “I did keep count. But it would be rude to brag. Oh, OK, thirty-six.”

“HA! Thirty-seven!” called out Bookwyrm, unafraid to boast.

“Hmmm, only thirty-five,” added HijacK.

“Thirty-three,” grumbled bler144.

Lifthrasil nodded. “Thirty-nine.”

“You guys are liars, I only bagged twenty-eight,” added QuadrAlien. “Lie. Eye. Eyers.”

CSPVG shrugged. “Were there goblins? I hardly noticed.” He broke out into a grin. “Thirty-two.”

“I killed forty-two!” blurted Leonard03. Everyone turned to stare.

“That’s very, very good,” commented yogsloth. “How about you, Dodo, what was your tally?”

“Who the hell is Dodo?” asked dedoporno with disbelief. “And I had thirty-eight, thanks for asking, jerks.”

“You know, Dodo. The hobbit. Charming fellow,” replied yogsloth. Seeing the confusion on their faces, he clarified. “The other hobbit, simpletons!” He continued to receive blank stares. “The one with the avatar, Helllllloooo?”

They found him, slumped in a corridor, nearly a dozen wounds in his belly, surrounded by a pile of dead goblins. Someone whistled, impressed at the carnage.

“Oh, poor poor Dodo, who only wanted to live a simple life and fix mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches,” lamented yogsloth, kneeling next to the fallen adventurer. “You didn’t ask for this, did you? And yet here your poor bones will forever lie.” The wizard was silent a moment, and then took out the crystal. Even the hardiest among the adventurers averted their eyes and cringed at the resulting, inevitable, ego-smashing wail of horror and loss.

The crystal nearly cackled:

flubbucket is dead, he was: Dodo Goodgrow, Hobbit Thief (TOWN ROLEBLOCKER) STR 2 / AGI 9 / CHR 6 / INT 6

Part 2.

“Shitburgers,” growled the wizard. “We started as fifteen, and now we are but ten. Dodo did not fall to goblin blade alone. We still have many miles to go, and far deeper dangers than three-hundred fifty-one goblins still to come, before we find the chasm. There is much to do, like spend hour after hour pouring over the numbers in this post, searching for the deep and hidden meaning that is surely there, that if only you could find it would surely delivery victory to your side. We have no time. Somebody get the hobbit.”

Several adventurers stooped over and began to hoist flubbucket’s lifeless carcass.

“THE OTHER HOBBIT, morons!” yelled the wizard over his shoulder, as he straightened himself up and strode forward.

“Not me, no thank you, all done,” asserted HijacK, storming off, quickly followed by most of the party.

bler and CSPVG wound up the last adventurers standing over cristigale’s rapidly-deteriorating corpse.

They stared bleakly at one another.

Finally, bler spoke.

“Roshambo you for it.”

“Roshambo you for it.”
Appropriate. I would do exactly that.

And I would have to consider using my once-in-a-lifetime chance to throw fire.
3 things:
1) Is anyone else getting the vibe that we're following Gandalf Knockoff the Black, or is it just me?

2) Looks like Flub didn't kill any goblins at all.

3) So now we have a dead Town Roleblocker. Obvious question: is there a second roleblocker roaming around, or do scum not have a role blocker at all? 3 roleblockers in the game seems a bit much, so I'm going to discard that until further evidence appears.

Are you claiming something now?
Sad to see flub go, even though my instinct about his play were correct. Now to see what actions will be claimed.

Bookwyrm627: Are you claiming something now?
No, that's a RL thing (albeit one you probably haven't heard of if you don't hang around people who are serious about Roshambo), not an in-game thing.

Hijack pointed out at some point yesterday that we never looked at the wagon for Day 1. And we never really did, though I'm still a bit skeptical there's much there. But we probably should look at D1/2 before we go much further.

Obvious questions:
1) Why not NK Wyrm? While he covered himself a bit, and perhaps was a town vanilla bluffing to eat the shot, his use of the "My PM" seemed to me like a slip.
2) Why not NK Dedo? Either he's scum...or he's not but scum think he's the most likely lynch target. Also possible that for whatever reason they just don't think a tracker is dangerous, though that would suggest they're playing the odds or have an untrackable role.

3) Why Flub over either of those? Either they knew he was the role blocker and perceived as dangerous, or it was just a lucky shot and they were hoping to cast FoS on whichever townie investigated him last night.

My math seem to be failing me. I count one roleblocker, flub. If scum have one, that's two. Where did the third one come from?
Minor correction to my prior post - wrote "investigated him last night" - meant investigated him N1.
Hey, that's no fair! I demand that we we have a game of tiddlywinks instead. If no one has a set, we can substitute by using a flagon and some goblin patellas.

Also, I seem to have had my bag ransacked, but nothing appears to have been stole. At least, not as far as I can tell. Anyone else have anything happen to them? Yes, I do feel it's alright to ask this question quite so openly; none of you seemed to have a problem giving information out at the drop of a hat yesterday.

Lastly, perhaps some rereading is in order, although I don't know how long that would take me.

JMich: My math seem to be failing me. I count one roleblocker, flub. If scum have one, that's two. Where did the third one come from?
I was about to leave the question at "is there a second roleblocker, or do scum not have one?", and then I realized that someone would be all "how do you know there isn't a town roleblocker AND a scum roleblocker left?"

I have no idea how many roleblockers are left in the game at this point. I wanted to pose the obvious question about whether there is (or ever was) a scum roleblocker, but now that I'm looking at it again, my question looks like a complete mess.

To correct my above post:

1) I obviously did not mean to use 'we' twice in the second sentence;
2) also, I meant to say,"but nothing appears to have been stolen."

CSPVG: 1) I obviously did not mean to use 'we' twice in the second sentence;
Please. No one wants to see your we we.
Yog denied me permission to edit the prior comment. I intended the joke, but didn't mean for it to sound so mean. I meant specifically "no one in the game" and not a comment on RL.

Hopefully it was taken as a joke and no psychic harm was caused. Sorry for the lack of care in wording!
