Live and let die - A Mafia and DnD crossover

Xasy

Sighs

Once again I find myself forced to work with an insufferable clown. At least I don't have to put up with it this time.

I'm not going to bother with pleasantries because unlike the rest of you, I realize we don't have the oxygen or time to spare, and I am not going to die down here.

So lets look over what we know:

The list of game mechanics:

Every person that signs up will be required to create a character, there will be five basic parameters that you will assign points to.

You will also select a character that you would want to roleplay as - from One Piece of course, because this is a One Piece game, and give a little back story to yourselves.

The game will start with each one of you in the bottom of a dungeon that you will need to escape.

There will be day and night phases, in the day all of your actions will be communal - including lynching others, and in the night, you will be able to do things privately - including kill other people.

Your objective will be to get out alive, and everyone who does so will win regardless of the methods they choose.

There will be NO monsters (or dragons), and you will be fighting among yourselves.

Stat descriptions:

[PERCEPTION] will allow you to find hidden rooms and maybe items, and also see if anyone is acting "scummy" - which practically speaking would be a calculation based on your perception stat and the targets willpower stat.

[CRAFT] will allow you to use machines or equipment. This would be the mechanism through which you will get "powers" - in Mafia lingo.

[ATHLETICS] will allow you to reach otherwise unreachable places, and also avoid kills. Again, practically speaking this will be calculation based on the attackers stealth vs the defenders athletics.

[STEALTH] will allow you to sneak into places without anyone else noticing, and also give you an advantage in kills.

[WILLPOWER] will change based on your actions during the game. The more negative actions you take, the lesser your willpower and the easier it will be to pin you.

And the hints: ```
There is a limited amount of oxygen in the room. If you don't leave within two in game days, you won't survive!
Everyone is already participating in the digging process. It  should take you two in game days to open the way. 
Though, once you do,  you would leave immediately, and would not be able to come back
You must choose by popular opinion if you plan to build the footholds. If you do, we will stop working on the exit route.
On the other hand, if you reach the provisions, we will regain your lost points.

There's a lot to unpack here. Lets start by taking a look between the lines and seeing what we can infer:

Everyone having willpower and stealth stats, everyone's win condition being to escape, and willpower being a stat that changes with your actions all point to not having a mafia. Really stop and think about how these mechanics work together. Perception detects if anyone is acting "scummy", not whether or not they are scum. Willpower decreases with negative actions, increasing the chance of being caught. What would a mafia that doesn't win by outnumbering the town even look like_?_ It doesn't really make sense. I know this is a very bold claim to make, but the more I think about the game mechanics at play, the more sure I am that this is the case. We're in Lord of the Flies right now. Oops all serial killers.
"In the night, you will be able to do things privately - including kill other people." - The wording here seems to imply we are all capable of killing. We will know for sure after tonight, and if it is true, it lends more credence to my first point.
This initial scenario has provided us just enough time for all of us to survive, but I doubt that will continue to be the case going forward. It seems likely that as we progress, fewer and fewer players will be able to proceed.
If my prior three statements are true:
- In any situation in which a player must be sacrificed for our survival, it is much safer to handle it through a lynch. Without proper coordination, there is a chance that no one takes matters into their own hands, which could result in all of us dying. Kills can also fail and we run the risk of multiple kills. Lynches will be far more predictable and reliable.
- We should sacrifice any and all inactive players even if there is a mafia. The win condition for everyone is to escape, which would mean that the "mafia" outnumbering us should not result in a game over.
- It is in everyone's best interests to cooperate as much as possible, and to avoid killing as much as possible. As the pool of living players shrink, so do the potential targets. Every night kill means increasing your odds of being targeted AND increases the odds people with high perception will perceive you as scummy.
It takes at least two days to dig out of here. I assume that means we need to dig for both of our day actions today and tomorrow. Going for the footholds means we would run out of oxygen unless we kill someone.

Takes a deep breath.
With all of that out of the way, I can begin to assess what the rest of you have managed to accomplish. If you've accomplished anything.

@Batman:

According to the clown, we just have to dig our way out of this hole and we'll all win.

Can it be that simple? With the Joker, it never is.

The provisions can help us boost perception to detect criminals among us. But it will also give them a boost.

If there are Mafia members, can't they also just win by getting out of the hole?

Bold of you to assume that it's even possible for all of us to make it out of here alive. We don't know what else awaits us in this place, but if its anything like this we can expect a race against the clock. In this room, we conveniently have just enough oxygen to make it out without a sacrifice, but that might not continue to be the case. Even in here if anyone starts to slack off or gets distracted, we may lose that luxury.

@Bon:

Some flowers may bloom, even under the harshest of conditions.

I think that if we can work together, then we might find a way to overcome both obstacles at once.

Who knows? We might even be able to see an easier way out if we get to a higher vantage point. Should we trust that the clown saw everything on the way down?

Un, Deux, TROIS!!!

Vote: Build Footholds

Speaking of getting distracted, what do you think you're doing? You say we all need to work together, but all you're doing is ensuring someone's demise.

If it comes down to it I don't mind dirtying my hands, but I'm not going to unnecessarily put my life at risk. I would urge all of you to actually use your heads before you go brain-dead from oxygen deprivation. Maybe then you would realize that any of us could become a scapegoat if we waste time.

I have to wonder though… if you're someone who was able to break out of Impel Down, did you really overlook this? I'm watching you Bon Clay.

@Usopp:

Oh, have you guys noticed that small vent up there? I'd climb it to check it out, but I can feel my 'Can't-climb-that-wall' disease rising up again. I'll keep looking down here, but if anybody wants to get up there, be my guest. Maybe there's useful stuff there that I can tinker with.

Hmm? Please elaborate.

@Hannyabal:

Why don't you and Usopp work together to get up to that vent? My arms aren't too flexible. And while they're all distracted with the vent, I'll sneak over and check out that small box in the corner while no one's looking. And then its contents will be all mine!

Very stealthy. Mind sharing with the class?

Buggy: Also, we have all taken quite a fall there, and exhaustion has begin to set in. Already I can see that all of us have taken a few points of damage. If we don't get anything to eat soon, our situation will degrade further.

Buggy: LUCKILY!! Yours truly also saw some flashy provisions up there. But, we will need to build some footholds to reach the spot, at least a day's job.

I think that some of you may be forgetting precisely what our wacky host said when we arrived at the bottom of this hole. If we don't do something about our exhaustion soon, it's bound to get worse. Wouldn't it be best if we ensure that we are all in top shape to confront whatever dangers may be lurking here?

SkullJoke

Ack! So this is but the first room. How foolish of me to think we could all survive by just doing nothing for 2 days.

If we're meant to survive, we wouldn't want to succumb to exhaustion. And I imagine willpower will be necessary to build up. But I'm still not sure we can justify losing a whole day building footholds.

While we have your attention little Caesar, maybe you could provide me with some clarification:

Is this in fact stating that all of us are capable of killing throughout the night?

With a long start and a loud shriek both Bon Clay and Monet run towards the intimidating vertical wall. They both run a nice couple of dozen steps in before gravity said Nah huh. The wall started to slip right under their feet, and both of them, with eyes popping, fell to the ground.

Buggy: I don't think you would be able to do that… Usopp: Can't you fly, Miss Harpy?
Monet: And I am also dead, don't start with that!
@SkullJoke:

Try: opening small box

Aagh, you couldn't open it, despite your best efforts. You can try again tomorrow.

@SkullJoke:

Try: Throw Batarang at lever

The lever with almost a divine flexibility neatly dodged the incoming Batarang. Missing its mark, the Batarand swung around on a straight course to Buggy-sama's head. Unfortunately, Buggy-sama was busy demonstrating the destructive powers of his- Buggy Balls, to wide eyed audience; and failed to notice the incoming hazard. Ouch he said as his head split open down the middle.

Batman, would you be willing to allow a volunteer with high athletics or craft to attempt opening the box? I believe you should be able to pass it to someone and allow them to attempt to open it. With the item being returned to you afterwards of course.

It obviously runs the risk of the item not being returned, but if someone were to refuse to return the item to you we would all know.

I suggest this because the item in question may help the group through this predicament, and if that is the case, we should retrieve it from the box as soon as possible.

No it won't, go for it.

What, you need to know how that's possible?? Pfft… fine...

See, at a time, only one person is digging- because the space is really narrow you see, and everyone should be taking turns. So, all the activities you do are on your downtime.

Fun fact, since Nami hasn't really said or done anything since getting up, I am imagining her doing the digging while you chaps can clown about.

Thank you for tarrying all day on that tunnel, but I suspect we will be able to find a more expeditious route out of here if we focus first on getting ourselves back into prime condition.

kmohyudin

With those words, Hannyabal suddenly sprinted across the room towards the wall that Usopp pointed to earlier. He leapt from the ground with incredible force, and showing surprising fluidity in his movements, sprinted along the wall to the small vent. He reached in with his hands, and the next thing we saw was that right above the hole we were trying to dig a stream of water started dripping… quickly increasing in flow, the stream developed into full blown deluge that took the wall with it opening the path to the next room.

Tired from your hard work, you all decided to call it a day, and sleep for a while. Tomorrow you move to the next room. Best of luck!

It's now night, any actions you want to perform should be done in your individual threads. See you in 24 hours!

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

Everyone can do one action per night. Be imaginative in your actions, you can use your attributes to think of stuff that you want to do. For example:

You can kill, which will be a battle between your stealth vs the targets athletics
You can follow someone, which will be roll of the dice on your stealth
You can try to watch, which will be a battle between your perception vs their stealth
etc.

Think of what you want to do, you have 24 hours to decide.

kmohyudin

At day break, everyone gathered at the temporary camp we made to get some shut eye, though, by the look of it, no one really managed to get any sleep after all.

Nice Buggy: Today we enter the next room. If you flashily follow yours truly, I am sure we can all get out safely. Dick Buggy: What you hungry or something? Well, you should have thought about it before you morons! it's too late now, water has probably washed away most of what I saw… Well I am sure there will be more stuff out there, so, stop sulking! As we moved towards the exit, Buggy suddenly stopped, his faces contorted in a strange mix of happiness and horror. As everyone followed his gaze, they noticed what has forced his brakes. Just besides the rubble moved by us yesterday to clear the exit, we saw a dead body, bloodied and wet. It was horrifying, but at the same time we knew this was to be expected. Put a person in a life and death situation, and their worst comes out.

Nice Buggy: Poor bastard…
Dick Buggy: Gyahahahaaha! Now, we are talking! I tell you this will help us in the long run! [hide]Usopp is dead. There was nothing of interest by his body.[/hide]

Silently, as though in our hearts we knew this wasn't deserved, we passed the grisly scene. Only a few stopped to say a short prayer before moving to the exit.

As we crossed the small opening, it was like a different world.

Monet: Oh… wow... so beautiful! Before us stood a towering shaft, over a huge chasm of unfathomable depth. Water flowing around it almost silently, occasionally hitting a rock to create a soothing splash. The walls were lined with ivy, that's what was breaking the waterfall, and dampening the noise… Without speaking, everyone knew that a climb was in order. But one wrong move and there was no chance of survival. This is the stuff legendary adventures are made of! The thrill of what was to come was almost enough to push the horrifying scene we just witnessed to the back of our minds.

HINT:

This room would be a test of athletics. It will take 2 in game days to complete the climb. After you start climbing, at the beginning of each day a dice will be rolled to see if anyone falls. 

You will need a score of AT LEAST 2.5 to guarantee survival. The formula for determining score would be:

Score = Athletics + Random[-1.6 to 1.6]

In other words, with an athletics of 5 you WILL survive. Otherwise, there is a chance you won't. 

After every roll, at most a single person will die. If more than one person scores below the threshold, only the lowest will die.

Nice Buggy: Hmmm… this ivy isn't that strong, we will have to take care not to walk too fast, or we all die
Dick Buggy: Or you know we can flashily kill someone, if there are less of us, we can climb faster!

HINT:

The less people there are, the lower the threshold for survivability. You will automatically climb at an optimum rate.

For this room, Day and Night each would be 24 hours.

HINT:

You can change the duration of days and nights by popular opinion.

To extend the day, use:
[b]Vote: Extend day
[/b]in bold

To end the day, use:
[b]Vote: End day
[/b]in bold

HINT:

Even though you are climbing, you can talk, take actions, and do whatever as though you are on the ground. 

Any loot in this room will remain accessible until you reach the next room.

Hmm I don't like this. Killing is the way of cowards and criminals. We are better than this.

There may be a Mafia in our midst. Or someone killing for their own gain. Either way, it may benefit us to find this person and… ensure they don't make any more victims. Maybe we'll have an easier climb too.

I wonder what all happened in the night. I can personally vouch for one person whom I chose to follow in the night. This person apparently spent three hours walking in a circle.

Oh god… Ussop!! Just.... no... this can be real... in shock that Ussop is gone What will I tell Luffy? Argh, whoever killed him, you will pain! I swear it!

Regardless, I think I need a moment.... to grieve. Hopefully, we can figure out who killed him...

Jabberwok

So Usopp's dead, huh? He really does look just like his bounty poster. But if I'm being honest, I won't shed a tear for the death of a pirate if it makes the rest of the world a little bit safer.

But…hold on, almost all of you here are pirates! Everyone except for Monet the rogue scientist, and that's almost as bad! I don't know who to trust at all!

Monet, as the potentially least untrustworthy person here (besides myself, a law-abiding civil servant), what do you make of Bon Clay's suspicions of the dastardly Queen?

Good morning everyone.

It seems someone has decided, against my advice, to take the matter of killing into their own hands.

I spent my night following someone walking in circles. What were you up to last night?

Xasy

First, tell me who you were following.

@Xasy:

First, tell me who you were following.

It's a rather specific activity I observed the person I followed doing, so I'm giving them a chance to corroborate it. Or someone else to falsely claim it was them.

Kirbycide

In the interest of speeding this along slightly, I'll try to contribute.

For all that I love to go in circles, I tend to dance more than walk. I did not use my action to walk in circles last night.

I'm still waiting on a response from you, Queen!!! Explain yourself, or else. This flat patch of earth that I noticed earlier should be a fine stage for our confrontation.

Try: Leap to the flat patch of earth by the entrance to the second room

Vote: Lynch SkullJoke

Wrong answer.

I'll reveal what I did last night if someone is willing to come forward and corroborate you.

So you can have more info to make your own alibi? You're awfully tight-lipped for someone who claims to know who killed Usopp. What makes you think I did it?

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I also noticed someone else "acting strangely", not sure that that means the person is a killer though

Or replace "alibi" with "someone else to pin the killing on".

This is all very intriguing and I would like to see how it plays out, but I fear that we won't have enough participation by the end of the day…

You have already revealed that you followed someone walking in circles. What do you really have to gain by continuing to keep the person in question secret?

A chance to corroborate it? It doesn't matter which of you reveal the info first, you can still corroborate each other and provide alibis.

Someone falsely claiming it? Who would do that at this point? Lying about it would guarantee suspicion.

There's no purpose in keeping it secret. I, on the other hand, may be able to clear someone if you cooperate.

Hmmm, I think we should be careful not to do a mislynch, though not sure how they work in this game compared to regular mafia… waits for Buggy to answer that

I had quite a crying storm, maybe we should find some food first so we don't lose any more points because of hunger?

After that, I think we can then work on deciding who to lynch possibly, though I think we should be careful, so it isn't a mislynch, depending on how it works in this game regarding that. I'm not voting till I'm sure we have enough evidence to lynch someone.. I know I lost one of my best friends in the world, but we can't afford any deaths unless they are the one who killed Ussop, I always want to make sure in this types of situations.

Good to have you back Nami.

Did you happen to walk around in circles last night?

Kirbycide

Snowy girl, a question for you:

Yesterday, you said that we should be willing to vote out those who aren't participating. But today, instead of voting for Queen, you've chosen to vote for Batman.

I assume that you have some solid reasoning for this… can you explain it?

As for my night action, I come out and say it, I didn't want anyone to perv on me, so I said for my night actions I use my climatact to make a weather trap to alert anyone trying to touch me. But since I'm a total newbie at this, I learned that this is not a game mechanic, so I said to kmo I wait till I think of something, but I lost track of time and the day started. So, yeah, nothing from me, but I guess we do stuff like watching or following, though I wonder what else we can do in regards to that. But yeah, not very helpful, but I'm still learning the game.
