Welsknight whispered to you: meet in the bunker in 10. Found something important

xB glanced at chat as the message came in. Life avoiding dying was going well, though the TCG amounts had significantly decreased. But it gave more time for his base and figuring out who started Demise again. In the process of both that and not dying, he, Wels, False, Hypno and Keralis, the proud members of the MORTALS (Maybe Outsmart Ren's Team And Live Society) had created an underground network of tunnels. Where, according to Wels' request, he was going now.

It didn't take long to reach the bunker where Wels stood, staring at a page of writing. xB waved over.

'Can you read galactic?' He asked. xB shook his head.

'What did you find?'

'Another message from the gamemakers... I'm starting to believe Keralis's theory that it's the Watchers, but Pearl was confident it wasn't.

'Keralis is a former watcher.'

'As is Pearl.' False argued from where she was hiding in the corner. 'And Pearl was a watcher more recently... Hey, Hypno!'

'What's going on?'

'Another message.' Wels held up a sheet of paper. Keralis wasn't far behind Hypno. 'Who here can read galactic?'

Keralis raised a hand.

'A bit...' Wels handed over the paper and he tried to read, squinting.

'Every group is infected with spies

Watch for the one who wears disguise

Don't fall for their tricks, don't fall for their lies

And you might still win this game of demise'

'There's a traitor?' xB glanced around the group. 'It's not me.'

'We can all say that and get nowhere.' Wels countered. 'One of us is working for Ren and we need to find who.'

'Or Impulse. They've separated into 2 group.'

'One of us is working for the dead team.' Ammended Wels. 'We need to work out who.'

'Or it's a trick... The watchers could be tricking us.'

'Every other message they've given is correct. Why would this one be any different?'

'Sweetfaces, I know I'm not the traitor. And I trust every single one of you.'

'Trust doesn't matter. One of us a traitor. We need to keep constant vigilance and figure out who's behind this. I still think it's the watchers.' Wels decided. 

'We should invite the other living players. Who aren't on Ren and Impulse's side... Scar, Stress, Iskall...'

'Is that it?' xB questions. 'That's not a lot of people.'

'Plus us, of course. Let's invite them, bring them into a meeting, and figure this out.'

Another meeting. Same place. 10 mins

Scar's coming

-T

Grian grinned at the sight of the sign in front of his base, immediately messaging Cub. So their traitor was proving useful after all... A way to get more dead. And not just more dead, more dead on their side, not Ren's. And many who'd be good for their side. Wels... False... xB was good with a bow, and now Scar. Their target. Or, as Cub had figured out, Scarget.

cubfan135 whispered to you: I'll set up the traps

You whispered to cubfan135: I'll be there as soon as I can... might spy on the Scarget heading over.

cubfan135 whispered to you: see you there

A couple minutes later, the familiar shape of Scar appeared ahead. And, hidden under one of the invisibility potions Cub had gifted him, Grian flew close behind... towards the secret base under Wels's base. And Grian set off to the secret base's secret base he and Cub had set up to watch the place go off with a bang.

'Hey Grian.' Cub waved over at Grian as he entered. 'Scar's arrived.'

'I know... I came over with him. Has the meeting started yet?'

'Waiting on xB... oh there he is.' The conversation rises again, and then drops as Wels speaks, introducing the new victims... If we get all of them except the spy, then all we have to get are a couple of people Ren doesn't want to die, and we win.

'We are here to introduce our new members... And show another message we received from our mysterious game-makers...' Wels coughs before reading it.

'To find the creator we advise

Don't seek the ones who value eyes

Instead we live with pranks and lies

When not looking over your game of Demise'

'Vexlings.' Scar decided immediately. 'It's the vex.'

Cub shuffled closer to the spyhole of the secret base, listening closer, watched by Grian. So it wasn't the watchers. It was the vexlings. Why? It had to be something to do with Cub and Scar but... what?

'Are you sure?' Hypno questioned.

'Very. I should've... I should've realised sooner. With Cub... and the weirdness of it all. And the want for hermits to take risks and cause chaos... maybe if I'd been smarter, me and Cub could've done something.:

'Most of this could've been for both Watchers and Vexlings, sweetface. Plus there's the notes that are quite watchery,' pointed out Keralis. 'It's not too obvious.'

'Why would they tell us?'

'Credit. If there's one thing Vexlings hate it's not getting credit for what they do. Especially if it's stinky watchers getting it instead.'

'So... Vexlings set up this huge elaborate thing, we blame the watchers, and they tell us it's them. That makes sense,' False figured. 'What now?'

'How do we stop them?' Was Wel's question. 'Scar?'

'I don't know. Didn't we decide to stick with it and hope everything ends up alright in the end?'

'It'd still be nice to find a solution now,' pointed out xB. 'I don't want to live in fear any longer.'

Grian glanced at Cub as he placed a button. A grin. Without needing to think, the watcher pressed it.

Fireworks. Explosion. Screams. Crossbow in hand, Cub broke through the wall, Grian close behind.

'THANKS KERALIS!' He yelled. Dripstone fell from above to join the fireworks and arrows of Cub's Total Chaos tribute.

'KERALIS?!' Wels snarled. 'WHY?'

'DIAMONDS! IMMUNITY! THEY'RE SCARY!' The wide eyed hermit yelled back. Grian gave a chaotic laugh, launching another firework from his crossbow at the ground.

'DIE!' Grian yelled, unaware of Wels behind cutting his attempted murder spree short from behind. 

Grian was slain by Welsknight

Most of the group were chased out the room by that point, Scar unfortunately with them. But the moment Hypno slipped and Stress ran back to help, Cub had time to fire another rocket.

Hypnotizd went off with a bang

Stressmonster101 went off with a bang

Yep. Double death 

:)
