No. The mod (Iliad) has disappeared from us.

Iliad, don't make me harrass you on facebook.

[nagerous]

I spoke to Iliad, he said he is going to hopefully do the scene tonight.

[Iliad]

Firstly, I do apologise for letting this slide. School's really cranking up right now and unfortunately I couldn't find the time to do this. Particularly frustrating as this was a scene that I wanted to show and do right.
The Hound
He could have hardly said that he enjoyed being back in King's Landing. The journey was long and arduous, many were disappointed with how long it took but the Hound could but hope it was for the better. As the Riverlands turned into an outright battleground after the events that he saw, he knew that the safer he would be the better. That had proven to be asking too much. He had not been in the city for an entire day yet, but seemed to be a popular man as any. Maybe because he was a proper lord and all, after his brother's death, though he never intended on visiting his holdings. A knock sounded on his door. It wouldn't be him again, would it? The thought flashed across his mind, but was dismissed. When a guard of his opened the door however, the Hound had greatly wished that it had been true. Instead the Queen strode in, surrounded by more than enough guards to subdue him and his paltry household.
"You didn't think we'd just let you run back here, with your tail between your legs. You and your household still serve my father and my son. Or have you forgotten the Lannister words?” the Queen spoke.
“Bugger you and your words and your house” The Hound snarled, the Lannister guards the very same that stopped him from killing his brother.
“The wolf rises in treachery and it seems the dog has followed him. Regardless neither you and your men will pose no danger. I’ll have no traitors in the city threatening me or my son”
The Hound could but laugh. The Queen slapped him, but the Hound roared and drowned out whatever question she had.
“Your men are all subdued. You will pose no threat” The queen now screamed at him.
“My men were never a threat. But they’re not my men” He may never be able to kill his brother, but the flash of fury and fear on Cersei’s face was sweet enough.
“Whose?”
“Some highborn twat, no doubt.”
“Are you stupid or does your treachery know no bounds? Do you not know the Lannister words?” Cersei screamed.
“A Lannister always pays his debts. It happens to be that the Lannisters owe me a relative.”
The Queen left scurrying and all her men after her.
Maybe King’s Landing wouldn’t be so bad.
Cersei
It had been going so well. The younger, more beautiful queen was gone, her stunted awful brother gone with her. She had never realised that there were so many working against her and her children. But who was moving against them now? The Starks were surely too far, but who now would strike the Lannisters. And whom as well? Her brother or Joffrey?
She heard the sound of steel and feared for her own life for the first time, but it was only her guards. She followed their gaze and her insides turned to stone. Guards lay splattered along the courtyard, the colour of blood and Lannister alike amongst the courtyard.
Her horse strode through the mess. Good. If bodyguard cannot do their job, this is the least they deserve. An obviously wounded guard slumped against the wall seemed to be only one left alive by this point.
“What happened?”
“Men came. More than a hundred stormed us…we…”
Stupid and craven, she thought. Where had all her loyal, competent allies gone? The Hound was the best bodyguard her son had, but she had so many guards, surely some could’ve stopped whoever came here. Her thoughts trailed off but were recalled as the guard called back.
“Water, please”
She stared at her captain and nodded. She saw the sword leave the sheath, but she only heard the slice.
The interior was just as bloody and infuriating as the courtyard. Her guards tried to overtake her but Cersei noticed that she was running. She wondered when she had started. She swung the door and the sight she knew was true, spread out before her. Her beautiful son, lay murdered with not even a Kingsguard cloak nearby
Chapcrap-Joffrey- Future King of Westeros has been killed

Cersei seized the captain of the guard nearby.
“I want the one responsible, brought to me before daybreak”
“Who’s responsible” the guard stammered.
“Who do you think, cretin?” She screamed and the guards left her all to her son.

Eddard Stark
Eddard couldn’t sleep. His daughter’s face remained in his eyes when he closed them, the mob carrying her off. There was nothing he could do as his own daughter was killed. No parent should outlive their child, not one who had been fully grown. Sansa was still a child at heart, so excited that she was to be wed to that blond bastard Joffrey. Ned wondered if her daughter’s death pleased him.
An urgent knock sounded at the door and disturbed him. The light was too dim to tell which guard it was, but his panting made it clear.
“Sire! We must wake the household at once. There’s open war and bloodshed in the streets”
“War? But Tywin’s and my son’s forces are far too up north …”
“Not their men, your lord. Joffrey, the prince has been killed”
Ned’s blood froze. Tywin’s and his son’s movements were hostilities that Robert could’ve ended. Now Ned didn’t know who he would side with.
“Hurry, my lord. The Queen has captured your wife”

Cersei
She wasn’t sitting on the Iron Throne, but Cersei would carry out what she knew a king would do.
The doors opened and her guards dragged Catelyn Stark inside, which puzzled her to no end.
“I asked for the one responsible. And how on earth did you find her?”
“We were brought to it” the guard beamed.
Cersei conceded her anger at her guards, and perhaps they were right. If Catelyn was secretly in King’s Landing it was probably her who sent the men under the cover of the night.
“Ser Ilyn Pane” she called out to the silent shadow, always waiting by. “Execute Catelyn Stark for treason and murder of Joffrey Baratheon, first of his name”.
The executioner smiled. He does so love his work, Cersei thought.
“Would not keeping me as a hostage suffice” the auburn traitor pleaded.
Cersei paid it no mind. A lion does not bow to the bleatings of sheep lined up for slaughter. And what a slaughter there shall be, starting with her.
Dazerazer-Catelyn Stark-Jack of All trades(Mother) has been killed

That was but the start. Her husband, all her children, the Hound, they would all see what see what happens to those who rise against Lannisters. This is what Tywin would do, she smiled proudly. The doors opened and Cersei spun to see what news had been brought to her.
The sight stopped her in her tracks. The Young Wolf marched towards her.
“You were in the Riverlands” She screamed. This was not fair, why now, too much had already happened.
“My trip may have taken a while, but I assure you it will be worth it”
The Young Wolf’s contingent tore through her guard like paper, but Cersei spun away. She would fight like a lioness if she had to.
She dodged one man, but another, standing well over a foot over her grabbed her and tossed her to the ground like a rag.
“My father will give you land and wealth beyond your Northern dreams” She screamed. The young boy took but one glance at the body of his mother, its blood still seeping into the floor and swung the sword.
Nagerous-Cersei-Queen-Roleblocker has been killed


Day 3 has started. With 11 alive it takes 6 to lynch.

[nagerous]

Grrr. I wouldn't have pressurised you if I knew my death was imminent

[Mr. Squirrel]

Wow. Great night for town. Now I'm sorry varys is dead. He would most certainly be on our side now.

[strike wolf]

Wow go Caitlyn...Joffrey was an ass. Wish I could see him get killed off in the show. Also go...Rob Stark? I think. I reread a bit over the night though with how long it lasted that was a while ago at this point, so I'm probably gonna need to reread again. Bg did hammer a bit quickly yesterday but he is new and with the evidence against sonsa (really unless chap said he had been blocked, sonsa was going to be lynched.) it was only a matter of time before someone hammered, so I'm not gonna automatically vote him for that considering the circumstances but I would like to hear his answer.

It's safe to say at this point that edoc is telling the truth about not being mafia if scene evidence is correct he was role blocked again. I also tend to believe Victor's claim despite the name mix up as the character is not a huge one but a solid claim and I think hated townie makes sense flavor wise how he was forced to retire from the Knights Guard which is fairly dishonorable. My one caution being there really wasn't anyone among the guards who Eddard Stark trusted more so it doesn't make sense from that angle. Beyond that I remember getting more people seeming townish on my reread than scum though I recall one post standing out. Just want to double check that it is the person I thought it was before I end up running my mouth off stupidly.

*sigh*

I bid you adieu. I never wanted it to be like this. I only wanted to be a King and see the Kingdom do well.

[Mr. Squirrel]

But Barristan wasn't dismissed until the later books.... He was the commander of the Kingsguard for all of Game of thrones.

I haven't read the books but in the show the queen dismisses him in episode 9 I think.

[edocsil]

Dibs on the Chap kill. Someone, I believe them to be Littlefinger, contacted me through the mod. I was allowed a NK for that night only and I chose Chap.

What makes you think it was Littlefinger?

Were you told you were roleblocked again (flavour seems to indicate that)? Possibly standard action blocked, exceptional NK action not blocked?

Barristan Selmy, it seems. I am not familiar with Game of Thrones, so I'm not sure how this all fits...

-Sully

Ok... but why have you decided to claim at this particular juncture, no one was pressurising you - I don't see the relevance at all.

*Sigh* I imagine you'll find out soon enough.

-Sully

Do you have an answer to that question now?

Really? I haven't seen all of the series yet. In the books it happens only after Joffrey takes the throne.

[edocsil]

To Paraphrase "a handsome man has put his men at your disposal" It sounds like the city watch and Littlefinger to me similar to the end of the show. I was not told I was blocked and flavor doesn't explicitly say she is blocking me. I do not know what occurred.

[kwanton]

Heh. Good job catelyn stark. And we must have a great vig to have caught onto nag

I desperately need to reread this thread.

Sorry, missed last day since it was so fast. I'll try to come up with something soon.

[Rodion]

Heh. Good job catelyn stark. And we must have a great vig to have caught onto nag

May I ask you why are you congratulating Catelyn/Daze?

Do you have any hidden knowledge?

[kwanton]

Cersei conceded her anger at her guards, and perhaps they were right. If Catelyn was secretly in King’s Landing it was probably her who sent the men under the cover of the night.
“Ser Ilyn Pane” she called out to the silent shadow, always waiting by. “Execute Catelyn Stark for treason and murder of Joffrey Baratheon, first of his name”.

I was going based off this, which is info everyone has, not just me. I also posted my response right after I read the scene and hadn't yet read edoc's post because I was short on time.

[kwanton]

Wow go Caitlyn...Joffrey was an ass. Wish I could see him get killed off in the show. Also go...Rob Stark? I think.

Also, I'm not the only one who congratulated catelyn.....
