    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    The sun rose over a solemn Spielburg. In the center of town slumped over the body of the Hero was the body of Amelia. The few villagers who gathered looked at the sight, and then promptly decided it was time to pack their bags and go live somewhere less cursed.

    Badger has been killed. He was Amelia Appleberry - town medical examiner.

    The curse of Baba Yaga reigns! Congratulations to:
    MTR - Erasmus
    Blind Ninja - Fenrus
    Dreyski - Bats and Scarlet
    Mazer - Baba Yaga

    The loss of two people - even if the Hero being one of them surprised no one - dampened the mood of the little village. They mulled around unsure of who had last been seen with the missing people, until finally pointing the finger at Shameen - Baba had disguised his wife once, who said she wasn't masquerading as his husband now?

    Future has been eliminated. He was Shameen - town Innkeeper.

    N1 - no action

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    With the death of Baba’s friend and ally Erasmus, the energy in Spielburg was rejuvenated. For the first time in three years they’d won a battle! And now they wanted to win the war with extra fervor.

    In the center of town the Hero meandered doing Hero things one moment, and then the next he fell over into the mud and stopped moving. “Huh, he lasted a whole two days longer than I’d expected.” Someone nearby mumbled, and with a shake of their head, continued on with their own business.

    Shameen cooked up a meal to offer the extra weary, pouring his heart and soul into making it as filling and delicious as possible.

    The ogre Otto stood at high alert for even the most subtle movements, sensing even the vibrations of the air. It was a little known talent of Ogres - though maybe it wouldn’t be if people stopped assuming they were nothing but dumb pummeling monsters.

    All the excitement made poor old Schultz exhausted, so he decided to turn in early. He fluffed his pillow and settled down, promising to get back into the action tomorrow.

    Still settled in a tree being ignored, Pteresa peered in a window and cocked her head with a little squawk.

    With a boing and a sproing the Antwerp bounced even closer to town.

    Bats fluttered around, he spotted Insaner and his little tiny bat stomach growled. He swooped down and in a scene that more closely resembled a cartoon piranha attack, Insaner was gone.

    Listo has collapsed dead. He was the “Hero” - town joat

    Spirits were down with the death of the spirit vendor, but the people of Spielburg were not willing to stop fighting yet. An accusation was levied against someone who did't seem to be quite as invested as the rest in sniffing out Baba's evil and thusly he was pummeled to death by the mob.

    MTR has been eliminated. He was Eramus.

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    There was a solemn air in Spielburg, the villagers had seen more death than even they were used to in just two short days. But there was also a collective unspoken bond - they knew something here had to give. Either them or Baba. And so night fell and people shuffled to do what they could.

    In the tavern, the Bartender offered up his special drinks, aiming to keep people out of trouble and help them stay focused on the things that mattered.

    Shameen worked to ensure his wife’s death wasn’t in vain, and that others would not meet her fate, offering up a hearty meal to satisfy.

    If you’ve never seen an Ogre try to quietly lumber unnoticed, you should put it on your bucket list - it’s adorable and not at all effective. Especially when they roar at every moving shadow - and that is exactly what Otto was up to as he worked to keep his friend safe.

    Outside the village, nestled in a tree unnoticed against the starry sky was Pteresa observing the houses, and one in particular for signs of her mate returning.

    Somewhat closer to the village than before the gooey springy sounds of the Antwerp ominously approached

    All seemed to be a quiet and uneventful night, but as dawn arrived and people went about their day - it was broken by the scream of the delivery boy dropping off supplies to the tavern.

    CWE has been disintegrated. He was ???

    As the dawn turned into day, the village of Spielburg was on high alert. Accusations were levied and distrust abounded. Knowing the witch could fool their very eyes made everyone uneasy, and yet no one wanted to repeat the mistake they had with poor Shema. As night drew ever closer a quiet shadow was seen lurking, watching, but not engaging with the rest as they tried to determine who could or could not be trusted. Convinced it must be Baba herself, or one of her spies, they descended on him and ended him. As he lay there still and unresisting, Zara pulled his cloak away and shook her head. "This is that old cooky hermit that lives outside town..."

    Val has been eliminated. He was Henry the Hermit - Town Backup

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    As night fell over Spielburg, the villagers held a vigil for Shema. She’d been a kind and generous soul always willing to lend an ear and offer advice, or distract from the daily woes that plagued people in her own unique way. They said their goodbyes and looked to the Hero, standing off awkwardly alone and realized that it was time to take their fates into their own hands - no outsiders would care about them the way they cared for each other.

    Amelia knew her expertise would be highly coveted in the coming days. So she gathered her tools before the body of Shema had even finished cooling and set to doing what no one else would have the stomach for.

    The sheriff shook his head and yawned, he’d seen more than his share of combat in his day - and he knew this wasn’t a battle to win in a single night - or without proper sleep. Schultz Meistersson waived off the concern of Otto and headed to bed. A good night’s sleep would help clear his mind and help him decide how to approach the shift in Baba’s tactics.

    Slinking around around outside of town was Henry the Hermit, frowning at the scene before him. This was new, and not welcome. He didn’t want to get involved, but he also didn’t want to get caught flat footed by any unexpected surprises. So he muttered a few words and studied the vigil intently.

    Out in the woods Pterry flew and screeched. He knew the humans - or at least the one who was called Amelia - were worked up over something that made them give off threatened vibes, so he knew his priority was to find his mate Pteresa and make sure she was safe - but as he searched for her he was oblivious himself to the danger he desperately wanted to save her from.

    Quick as a flash Erasmus zapped the poor distraught and distracted Pterry from the sky, muttering about flying pests and spies.

    Deep in the woods a faint sound, like jello filled with springs could be heard. If Schultz were awake, he may have even said it sounded something like an Antwerp?

    ----------​

    The villagers had watched the Hero shamble into town the night before with weary optimism. At least there were people willing to try to aid them, even if this one looked particularly inept. Not long after his arrival though, as if she’d been able to sense the slight uplift in the morale of the small town - Baba Yaga Strode in, looked around at the townsfolk who stood there unsure what action to take. Attack? Run? Then she laid eyes on the newest hero, valiantly trying to duck behind a barrel and laughed. “Let’s make this more interesting. For me.” She grinned as a flash of smoke enveloped the town, and when it cleared she was no longer standing at the entrance to the town, but rather standing next to the Innkeeper with her arm wrapped around his waist.

    Shameen Shrieked and lept away, and the villagers finally lunged into action…but as the blood spilled from her body the corpse laying in the dirt was none other than Shema, Shameen’s own wife.

    Morrison has been eliminated. He was Shema - Town Waitress.

    It is now Night One. Night One deadline Friday March 15th 7pm eastern.
