SciOly Assassination 144: Avalon

[TheCrazyChemist]

I think we solved that clue. Does anybody have any idea of who could possibly be the sassy? Or the evil knights? There hasn't been much dissent from any knights besides lindsmaurer theorizing that I could be evil when I didn't even know how to solve the clue until after she said it. And as far as I know there hasn't been any ID. However, I do think it's a bit suspicious that she says she knows exactly what game this is based off of....

Considering the title of this round is also the name of the board game it is based on, it isn't that far of a reach of someone knowing it considering Avalon is a decently popular board game.

Oh and one more thing; this is NOT based off of secret hitler. It's its own game (actually a personal favorite which is why I was super excited to see the name this time around), and it's very similar the The Resistance, which I believe is based off of Mafia.

No lindsmaurer says its something else.

Yes... it's based off of the game Avalon, which is very similar to the board game The Resistance...

Oh lol just searched both "Avalon" and "The Resistance" together and it does seem very very similar. I don't think the sassy was very original with this one, but I hope it'll still be entertaining. I guess lindsmaurer was right.

The knights hold a gathering in Creationist127’s castle to open a letter from King Arthur, who they’ve elected leader (he definitely wouldn’t be my first choice, though, if you were asking me, since he has a habit of skipping meetings to”‘catch ‘em all”).

Letter from King Arthur:
My knights!
It has come to my attention that there was an assassination attempt on our good Baron EastStroudsburg13. However, Sirs lindsmaurer, amk578, TheMysteriousMapMan, and CPScienceDude embarked on a dangerous and most perilous quest to save him. Thankfully, they arrived at Redmont on time to stop the vagabond. They did indeed save him, and for that I congratulate them! Five hundred bars of gold will promptly be delivered to each of their vaults within a fortnight.

To Sir lindsmaurer, I award her the title and rank of General-Marquis of Ohio! From this moment on unless I revoke this privilege, Sir lindsmaurer will count for TWO knights when embarking upon quests.

I also received this cryptic poem from our nemesis, Mordred. I will require your assistance to identify his next target, ere another two days passes! Do not fail me.

Signed,
King Arthur

Mordred's Poem:
Across this glorious kingdom,
In a constant period of Warring States,
A few dominions still reign supreme,
Though their quarrel is not fueled by hate,

My next victim will be a leader,
A supporter of border walls,
But they won’t be the bricklayers,
For they’ll be busy making laws,

Berlin lies your destination,
But you’ll need a substance, K,
My target is a reptile,
From a long time ago in a land far, far away.

And yes, only the first quest will count. Adventure wisely.

So-
Obvious Pokemon reference in the "leader catches em all". The "leader" may also/probably is Mordred, given the way its phrased and because its a common trope. (Do not fail me lol)

Warring States could refer to the Chinese warring states period, though it applies to many others (such as the Korean one and the Japanese one).

Next victim being a leader and a supporter of border walls implies activity in the politics thread - especially when it says they emphasize policy.

Berlin has many implications, but K may be potassium (though perhaps just Ok), reptiles probably refer to herpetology, and the last bit kinda references Star Wars.

[TheMysteriousMapMan]

A reptile from a long time ago far, far away ––any famous Star Wars related reptilians that could like to a username?

[JoeyC]

Acklay, Reek, maybe Rancors?
There aren't really any notable Star Wars reptiles...... (cause there's also no clear definition on what creatures are reptiles without looking it up on)
Kit Fisto's an Amphibian, and so is Admiral Akbar, so no hits on that.
They're probably meant to be separate.

[Creationist127]

windu34 might fit the bill. He’s from a galaxy far far away, and I think he did herp at some point?
I, sir Creationist127, hereby embark on a quest to save windu34. Will any of my worthy brethren join me?
P.S. don’t you bash Pokémon, sassy!
