There were 6 remaining. The mood, was uneasy. They wanted to believe that their agreement would save them, but they couldn't. Two pointed at Knixer, and the others couldn't come to an agreement. Knixer stood and exclaimed "If you believe I am the threat, than I will allow you to kill me without a fight, and I pray that god will be with you as I leave." He knelt down, and one of the remaining occupants killed him with a single blow to the back of the neck. Knixer fell, and his dagger fell to the ground. It had engravings on it, which were extremely rare. Upon further inspection, the group realized that this blade was held by an elite guild of paladins, and only they were allowed to wield them. Knixer, had been a paladin.
It was after the fall of Knixer that Duel snapped. "You monsters! YOU MONSTERS! You shall pay for your sins!" Once more Duel pulled his blade, and this time he attacked Grayso. "50 stabbings for your 50 sins!" yelled Duel. No one moved, they were in shock of what had just happened. Suddenly something happened, and the fires went out all at once, it almost completely pitch black. Once more, an unknown force made their move, slicing Duel's throat with a single motion. Duel and Grayso fell to the ground. It was obvious Duel was crazed, insane, a lunatic, and a murder. He was once a nobleman, but had lost his mind when he lost his power. Upon investigation of Grayso's room, the group discovered he was in fact a simple villager.
By the time someone lit a candle, the damage was done, with only 3 people alive, and 1 of them a murderer, they were getting closer to the truth, but at the same time, closer to their own death.
