   Selos was alive again... but he wasn't all there. His thoughts were muddled, and while he could speak, it was difficult.  His memories of the time as a spirit were faint... it felt like he was forgetting something that he should tell the Queen.
He didn't feel the need to go and drink himself to Oblivion and back like normal, so instead he just shambled around the town with a slight limp, staring out and watching life flow by through half-closed eyes. 

THen something in his head clicked, and he was standing in a darkened tunnel. Torches on the walls flickered, blowing back in an unnatural wind as miners ran back up the tunnel, away from the horrid creatures they had woken. Selos himself was rushing down the tunnel along with the other guards, sword drawn and a vicious warcry echoing in his throat.

He slashed at the crimson-skinned tentacled creatures, severing tentacles with each swing. One of his fellow guards got sucked into the blackness, a scream the last sound he made. Selos realized this was a losing battle, and called out to the other guard to start retreating. before they got a few feet his fellow dwarf too fell to the beasts.

That was when he turned and ran. "Seal the tunnel!" He shouted out as he neared the beggining of the doomed shaft. Then the others collapsed the support and let tons of rock drop onto the demons chasing them.

Selos gasped in pain as he jolted back to the present, torn free from the memory he'd been forced to relive. His face was pressed down into the cobblestones and an older guard was on top of him holding him down. Selos could just barely see a curious crowd gathered around him.

"Urgh... What happened?" He tried to grumble out, but the words were barely understandable even to him.

"You just went crazy, started slashing at thin air and screaming. You nearly killed three people before we got here, they barely avoided your sword." The guard on his back growled. "Why?"

"I don't know... it was like I was back in the mines when we broke through the Silversteel vein and the demons came out."

Only then did the revived dwarf realize that he was ixing up the past and the present, his muddled mind realizing that he wasn't completely whole, not himself.

	Hali, in his usual corner of the tavern sat pondering the days rather peculiar turn of events. Expecting to be mourning a dwarf they had instead miraculously gained one from beyond the grave, though Hali still wondered if Selos would be the same as before. He wanted to ponder on the resurrection more but knew there were more pressing things at hand, who to vote for next. The time for action was surely at hand and he knew he couldn't sit on the fence any longer. He finished off his ale then set off with his mind set on finding any clues to base his next vote off, though he also thought it best to keep an eye on zombie Selos just as a precaution.
	For a pessimist i'm pretty optimistic

	[welcome back ozy] [to clarify.. is this the necromancers work? or just adding a player as so many went inactive?] Hamlick saw Selo's corpse rise from the ground outside of Thes house.. he muttered to himself "sod this" and headed into the nearest tavern.

	[Finally!] Selos felt an inexorable pull, sucking his spirit away from his perch high above the settlement, up in the roof of the Cavern. A sudden, inexplicable fear seized his ghostly body. He couldn't understand it.... he was already dead, what did he have to fear? His memories had faded, so he didn't know which house he was being sucked into... but it was familiar. Then he flew through the wall, and saw his own corpse. A flash of light blinded him, and then he felt sensation again. His eyes snapped open and he sucked in a breath of air. Somehow he was alive again.

	It was time for another vote. Queen Auraya looked at the pitifully small crowd in front of her and read the few votes she had. Halithore: No lynch. Thes: Moka Ithilwien: Thes Moka: Ithilwien Scorpiain: No lynch Aral: ElfLark Bartok: Thes ElfLark: Coltaine Dspn: No lynch. Again, the consensus was no kill tonight. Relieved, the Queen thanked all those who had attended and went in search of those who had not. She found traces of a quick getaway at the homes of Yoink, Nicanor, Caketin and Susan. It looked like the dwarves had simply fled in fear. Continuing on, she found the dwellings of MilkWater, Meme and Vibs left unoccupied. Not a trace of them could be found - it was like they had never really been living here. As she walked on, looking for Mayflower, she realised that maybe they hadn't. Perhaps the dwellings were simply a cover for their nefarious human activities and with the death of Night Owl, they too had fled for their lives. Mayflower was nowhere to be found but her room still held all her belongings. Speaking to the Tavernkeeper, she learned that Mayflower was spotted just this morning exploring an abandoned mine and Auraya hoped she had not gotten lost. It would be a great tragedy if something had happened to her - Auraya made a note to send a search party should she not return by tomorrow's vote. Worried by all the disappearances, the now weary Queen started for home when she heard a scratching coming from outside Thes' house. It sounded like stone on metal, as though someone with a love of rocks were attempting to prise apart reinforced windows. heading to investigate, Auraya was greeted by the corpse of Selos Silverblade. She screamed. She then fainted. Waking next morning, Queen Auraya thought perhaps she had had too much ale the previous night. Arriving home, her new guard informed her no deaths had occurred whilst she lay passed out in the street. That was comforting, at least. [Sorry it took so long for me to post this.. I honestly thought more people would vote and I didn't want to have to kill 7 people off for activity. Mayflower will be killed off next vote if she doesn't attend too.. so if you see her, please remind her! The next vote is 48 hours from this post. Some interesting stuff happened tonight so.. discuss! ..and welcome back Ozy ;) ] Edited by Auraya - 10 Feb 2013 at 09:41

	Roryn paid no attention to the visitor in the door. It wasn't until an apprentice brought it to his notice that a dwarf he recognized was waiting for him. Motioning to her to wait, he finished the delicate step he was working on, and then quenched the axe in a water barrel. "Forraid, isn't it? What brings you here today? Wait...I think I can guess. It's about the vote, right? I know that there are a few others who questioned my vote, but can you blame me? What dwarf doesn't care about mining? Or metals, or gems, or minerals? It's a way of life for us bearded folk. So until there is evidence pointing to the contrary, I believe that I shall still vote for Thes. Guilty until proven innocent, it's the dwarven way." After giving what is possibly his longest speech in years, Roryn returns to his work, leaving Forraid with her own thoughts.

	After a glum morning in the tavern common room, Forraid hiked to the local overlook, deep in thought. There was some inexplicable trouble here that disturbed her deeply. What motivated the death of the Guard of the deep mines? And why would a human impersonate a dwarf?! The fresh air and stony peaks gave the wandering dwarf merchant some peace, and she let go her questions. As she walked back toward the town, the thought came to her that she would visit the forge of Roryn Skullsplitter. It was said that he was crafting a mighty axe for Queen Auraya. Perhaps the usually silent tavern drinker would speak with her...
