Bah. It seems the evil habsburgs win this round, unless 3 more vote for the damned prince.

Why would Ben vote for me? I voted pretty much first here, which is never that bright for a mafia to do, and besides, I'm only on 'poly for about 1/2 an hour every weekday, which just wouldn't give me the time to write out fun ways of killing off any victims. Mind you, his asking for alliances is always suspicious. What does he need to be protected against?
The protesting Duke of Eastern Bohemia, Theben, was dragged to the square and beheaded.

Spymaster Ljube-ljcvetko shook his head. "It's a conspiracy to destroy the roayal lineage", he told DarkCloud who was listening with great earnest.
"But why?"
"Probably some cultist revolutionaries trying to dismantle the royal house and the very aristocracy! Such a ludicrous goal, yet with the things going on the way they are..."
"But if they are, as you say, so infiltrated in the entourage that they can execute people by a mere vote, certainly there is little that can be done about it?"
"To the contrary, the more conspirators, the more likely it is that they make a mistake that'll blow their little scheme wide open. Just you wait."

"Lord Reismark, what shall I do"? asked Jonny, the Food Taster. "With the King dead, I no longer have a job."
"Ah, true." Reismark looked around the dining room. "The fireplace has died out. I hereby nominate you the Keeper of the Fireplace, until further notice." He noticed Jonny's grim look. "It's not exactly a promotion, but you have to do something. At least you won't have to indulge in Whoha's cooking any longer."
Jonny shrugged and sighed.
Ben Kenobi, the Archbishop, stormed to the room. "Lord Reismark! Please tell me something. Have we discovered the weapon with which the King was murdered yet? It could provide us valuable information."
Reismark slapped his forehead. "We had forgotten all about it! I must go to Skanky and have him arrange a search of the premises and the woods."

"Well this is interesting", DrSpike said having returned to his crude autopsy. "Look at that."
"Sir?" asked Hercules, guarding the door once more.
"The tendons in the King's arms, they are strained to the point of breaking. There's also a lot of bleeding inside his arms and some bruising. It's as if he's gone through a great effort of strength while dying... immeasurable strength. But the King was meek, even for a boy", DrSpike pondered out loud. "Something does not quite add up. Unless..."
"Unless?"
"... unless this was what a colleague of mine described as 'hysterical strength'. Its a way to explain the tale of a shocked mother managing to move a huge rock that has been lodged over her son. The human body can do extraordinary things, but only under extreme mental duress. Obviously dying after being stabbed is such a situation - but what was he trying to do?"

Despite careful canvassing of the inn and the surroundings of the King's murder scene, the presumed dagger that was used to kill him could not be found.
The people went in for a night's sleep, but in early morning a scream echoed across the inn. Nikolai's stabbed body lay in an eerily familiar place in the dining room, and, said DrSpike after a cursory look at the wound, killed with the same weapon as the King.
"I don't think I can ever have an appetite in this chamber again", Tuberski sighed.

Perhaps you are confused about who will be damned and who will live?
As I stated above, the guilty will pay.
Too true, your time will come; the destination of your soul is already decided.
As an aside I knew that posting intrigue, espec the 1st post, was pretty dangerous, but for roleplaying's sake I did it anyways. Too bad it's a deathwish in this game.

Royal Spymaster, you do truly bespeak a truth, methinks. The culprit of the murders must surely be as you sayeth. Following voting patterns, I can only conclude that those who placed their votes for first Adaigo and next Theben would have to have affected the murder... assuming your sources are correct, Sir. Ljcvetko...
Therefore, I would have to accuse the following person of the murders: Hercules the keeper of royal wares.
Besides, the man died trying to overcome someone of great strength... and as we all know, Hercules is the strongest member of the Royal entourage.
Also, the events point to some sort of murder to deal with food of some sort.
