It is not known where they came from. The Sorcerer Spirits appeared in your world several decades ago. The first reports were ignored as superstition and fairy tales. But once they reached the major cities the truth was obvious. The Holy Empire had a new enemy.
It didn’t take long to realise that there was no way to fight them. The ones who came forward with claims of power and conquest were killed, but all could see the spirit leaving the now deceased body, only to enter into another one nearby. It became known that the spirits could move between people and take complete control of them.
Mass hysteria ensued. Wherever the spirits wanted to go they went. Wherever they made demands they were met by people too terrified of their power to do anything else. In the capital city paranoia took over and panic broke out. While trying to gather some form of resistance and calm the nation, the King himself was taken over.
In the next few months the entire order of the Holy Empire collapsed. Those with enough money and time fled for distant lands, hoping that this scourge would not follow them there. The land was split up between different spirits, ruling as they pleased, with an iron fist. Some of them would make war on each other for more power, more slaves to command. Others would hunt innocents for sport. And no one knew of a way to harm them.
Then came salvation. Out of a secluded monastery came a group of Holy Men. They sought out the arrogant Spirits, who certain of their immortality had little to no protection. Then they performed a ritual they had divined to drive out the spirit and the mind it was festering inside, utterly destroying the Spirit. The warnings did not reach most ursupers in time and so they were destroyed by the Holy Order before they perceived this threat to their existence.
Once the spirits understood their plight they started fighting back. Those still in power started wars against The Holy Order, and Brothers across the land were murdered in their holy places. In other parts the people gained new hope when the rumours reached them of the death of the spirits. Mass uprisings led to massive blood baths as the spirits took out their vengeance on the ordinary people who did not have any kind of defence against the power of the spirits.
Now the land is in tatters. The Holy Order is locked in a deadly struggle with these immortal spirits, who will stop at nothing to wipe out the knowledge of the cleansing ritual. Holy Men became the prime target for possession, murdering their brothers and burning down monasteries. While this tactic was successful at first, the brothers soon became wary of any signs of possession amongst themselves, and keep a watchful vigil at all times…
You are all joined together in prayer. The Power of God is within you, binding you together. In these trying times you are the last hope for mankind, and for the light of God to remain in this world.
Through the stone wall of your sacred place first one ethereal spirit, and then two more, break through. In a mist of sickly green they descend upon the gathered brothers. The short moment of panic passes and everyone looks at the others. Where did the spirits go? Who is right now plotting to kill you all?
- Bar the Doors! Let no one leave!
You seal off the chamber and prepare to find the spirits before they destroy you all…
This is what you know about the spirits:
The Sorcerer Spirits are possessors, moving from one host to another, completely controlling the body and mind of the host. Furthermore they don’t seem to take any harm when the host body is killed. But they can not leave a host of free will, only when it is killed. This means that the spirits can not move around, they are stuck in the ones they chose to possess.
The host retains all memories and skills, and can act just like normal. Furthermore it has all the knowledge of the immortal spirit inhabiting it.
The spirits have power of some sort beyond that of possession. The exact nature of these powers is not known to you, and may even vary between different spirits.
You all know the ritual of cleansing. This ritual takes a full day to prepare, and all you have to do is to choose who will be subjected to it each day. Any spirit caught in the ritual will be completely destroyed. Unfortunately, the mind of the host suffers the same fate, effectively killing both. Only one person per day can be chosen, so all ties will result in no one getting chosen that day. Any innocent subjected to the ritual will be killed, even if not possessed.
About the game:
The Brothers of The Holy Order (innocents) will win if all the spirits are destroyed. There are 3 (or 4 if we get many players) of them.
The spirits win when all the innocents are killed.
Both sides will have access to special powers, but the nature of these is not known.
All powers will work by PMing me, and all effects will be sorted out by me.
Voteing will work as normal – full rules to come.
The option to vote No Kill will be available in this game as well.
Deadlines will be 2000 for voting and 2020 for night PMs. This is a tiny window between vote and night event. It is there for those that wish to see what happens with the vote before deciding on an action.
You may target a player for your power in the following manner if you are unsure if that player will survive the vote but you can not be there to see:
Target player X, but if that player is unavailable (dead), target player Y
The Rules
Every day before 2000 bb-time you may vote for one player to be subjected to the ritual. To do so please write your vote in bold:
Vote/Cleanse <player>
If you want to change your vote you have to take back your earlier vote first, like this:
Unvote <previous player>
Votes not done in bold, or without taking back an earlier vote, will not count. You may be punished for not adhering to the voting rules by losing your vote next day.
A player that is killed can no longer take part in the game and must remain silent in the game thread until the game has ended.
You must vote anew each day, votes do not pass over into a new day. (you may of course choose not to vote at all)
If the player killed is possessed you will learn of this, as there is a spelndid effect of some sort 
You may in this game vote for no killing to happen. To do this you vote in bold:
Vote No Kill
And
Unvote No Kill to take it back.
If No Kill wins the vote (gets more votes than any other player) then no one is killed that day. You may either vote for No Kill or for one player.
Concerning ties:
If the vote is tied between two players then no one gets subjected to the ritual.
Night events
Any Powers or action by the Spirits will be forformed at night. To do this the players must Pm me the target of their action before 2020.
The nature of the powers is not known to everyone.
Communication
Innocent Brothers may not speak to other players outside of the game thread.
The Spirits are in psyhic connection with each other at all times and may communicate freely with one another outside of the game thread.
There is one power that is public. It is
the Chaplain.
He was preaching to you all when the spirits appeared, and he was not in the mist that descended upon you all. Everyone could see him, so you know for sure that he is not possessed.
He is a known innocent, and if there is a tie with his vote in it, he wins that vote.
Circularlogic is the Chaplain. |

Go ahead and post!
Do not send me Night action PMs tonight or tomorrow. The game begins with a vote on tuesday. Votes count from now until that time.
perhaps the spirits have time to cast a spell before that...
With 18 players there are 4 spirits, so there are 4 possessed among you.
The innocents gained one extra player with a power also...
Good luck everyone! Have fun! |

I think we should hope our powers get the better of our enemies. No reason to hurry things along. |

From the book werewolficus:
"And down came the holy ghost on the prophet,
and he spoke with tounge of thunder:
'I am thy god and I will smite you -
if you don`t obey my commands!
Thou shall cast the vote!
Thou shall no vote 'No Kill'!
Thou shall not jump -
on bandwaggons rolling fast!
Thy wisdom and thy faith,
will be thy sword and shield."
Brothers in faith - the holy message is clear!
Cleanse Mr_Foulscumm
But beware my brothers. Even if you think he is possessed, don`t let him lead by more than one vote. Rather vote for another evil spirit!
I know, that my preachings are poison to those treacherous spirits and they will try to kill me as fast as they can. But the lord will send a guardian angel - don`t dispair! As the book werewolficus says - 'Thy wisdom and thy faith...' (waits for the rest of the brothers to complete the verse of werewolficus).... |
