After a long time of coming and going with new wood Legate finally left for the last time, appearing a few minutes later dragging a large wooden table across the stony cave floor. The sound of dragging echoed the whole cave. At one moment, the table jerked and with all its weight one blockfoot fell on Legate's toe. The man screamed and with all effort threw the table away from himself so it fell on one side.
Legate let it be and came near the fireplace where he sat down, took off one of his wooden sandals and started examining his foot.
"There's quite enough of wood, but it's better to be prepared. Who knows if the Oracle does not suddenly choose to leave us here without wood supply. I'd be also careful about food and if possible, leave something until the next meal. Assuming it does not become wormy."
Legate took his sandals back on and looked around. "I heard bits of what you spoke about here, I was also thinking a little bit. But it's still plenty time till Oracle's deadline and many of us haven't showed yet. Oh, first, Boro, Espiem is a good guy, at least in picking the locks, but don't think I wasn't checking him over my shoulder. He's in the storeroom now. But what I heard in your discussions here... now...

Somehow I think this may be a bad idea. And it kinda defeats the purpose of votes not being shown. Vampires can still lie about a vote they might have made instead of actually make one.

Six? I don't see why you think it isn't a good idea. Unless you want to bluff, which as I said I think an innocent villager has no need to, you shouldn't worry about it. After all, as best "voting list" as we can get is, I think, only for the good of the village. I don't see any disadvantage there.

I think accusations reveal the character of a person, and I find accusations to be about as helpful as anything (besides blind luck) on Day 1. I find accusations to be a good thing, so I think it's awkward Shastani, you are telling us to not do it.

Well I think we'd agree that without accusations we'd get nowhere. However, the ones who care the most on getting someone under any suspicion are the Vampires. So I find Shastani's comment rather in place, or at least I see it "unharmful". It's good in my opinion not to give too much into feelings or first sights and so on on the first day, because we don't know anything yet, basically. Of course accusing is needed, but not just headless.
For now, if I was to say that I am watching any of you folks more than the others, it would be probably
** Six for the comment above. It's quite a lot of us around here, I have to say, and many of us aren't saying much* so it's hard to conclude something... Otherwise I'll keep my eye on the places where it already "boiled" like Gil, Rikae, Espiem...
But now I am sorry, but I am quite dead from all the wood-carrying. I need to take a rest." With these words, Legate set out a bedroll he brought from one of the houses and laid near the bonfire. "Remember," he said yet, "keep feeding the fire. I wouldn't sleep longer than eight hours... but probably right after I wake up, I'm going to look around for some more useful things... so don't count on me until much... longer..."
With these words Legate fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.

Apart from roleplay, which I like very much and of course do that as well, and of course it's just the first Day... but it'd be good to also try to keep at least some gaming info even in the roleplay posts...
