"He was killed because of his arrogance and his bragging about the elder wand. His killer wanted the wand for himself to be the unbeatable one so disposed of the eldest brother to take possession of it," he answered giving his best thoughts on the subject.
Scabior nodded."Right you can take your steps." if Gideon was smart and took big ones the boy could be at least two arm lengths away.

Well, taking her steps with the teensy beaming expression, Evelyn looked at the others, seeing who was still standing and who was out. Seeing the ones that were kicked out had the Slytherin raising a brow. What in the world? When did Kurumi get over there? Blinking a few times, she turned her attention back to Scabior when it was time to move on. Why was the oldest brother killed. "Because he was a heavy sleeper." Seriously. That wasn't her full answer though. "And he wasn't careful. Boasting about an unbeatable wand to the public wasn't the smartest move since he wasn't the only greedy person in the world to want that much power that the wand apparently had; from his words that is. Clearly lack of brains ended his life early."
"Honestly you couldn't be more right. Maybe if he wasn't such a deep sleeper he would have heard the other man enter his room. Take your steps." That was a good, different way of looking at things.

Maybe...the wand was the reason why he was killed? "I think it was the wand..." She mused with a smile. "He thought he had the most powerful wand in the world, and went on to brag about it, which caused other people to get jealous and want the wand. Thus the man was killed, so that another could have the wand. Hence why I think the wand led to the death." Kind of worked.
The answer would have been accepted. Except there was a slight flaw. And Scabior did not like flaws."He didn't think he had the most powerful wand in the world. He did have the most powerful wand in the world." It was a nice run for a first year. "Please join your other classmates off to the side."

"He was killed, because he doesn't know how to keep a secret," she answered, her hand raised. "It doesn't take a brain surgeon at St. Mungo's to figure out that if you own something that strong and powerful, you just stay quiet about it. The eldest brother had a big mouth, and so when he publicly announced the information about the Elder Wand, he practically opened himself up to be killed for it. Of course everybody else was going to want it." Everybody had a little bit of Slytherin in them. "He cared more about making sure others knew how awesome he was with the wand in his possession and less about keeping his secret weapon a...well, secret."
Scabior raised a brow."But having owning the world's most powerful wand really wasn't a secret. No one claimed he had to keep it a secret. If you came up to me and said hey look I have the most powerful wand I'd nod and say that's nice." Flaws. Lots and lots of flaws. And...he just wanted more people to get out. "You can join your classmates over there." He nudged his head, in the direction.

Victoria merely glared at the window and mumbled the answer to the next question. "He gloated and boasted endlessly in an inn about his Elder Wand - and how it's invincible and unbeatable. That's why he was killed. A bloke came to his bedside during the middle of the night and slit his throad. But that was how he died."
ooc: sorry, I saw your post before but for some reason SS did not quote you

There was a slight nod."Alright. That will do. Take your steps."

"As simple as that question is...it can also work." Someone wanted to kill him, and so they did it, and he died. Scabior was only accepting it because the obvious statement had not already been said.

No one had really take his advice of cheering other people on. Pity. Because it was actually an easy way to win points, and to help a friend win. "So the older brother was killed, probably because of his bragging. But it also could have been due to the fact that he was stupid enough to sleep in the same Inn in which he killed a man, someone who could have been great friends with his killer....and he did so without any protection charms." Idiot. "The wand could have just been taken for pay back. But of course, greed is the well known or more noticeable idea." if Because it also made a little more sense.

He gazed around at the people who were still left. They were actually really close to him now, and yet their were still a bunch of people left. Maybe their would be more than one winner? Just maybe.

"After the oldest brother was killed, what happened to his wand?"


OOC: I want to wrap the game up soon so everyone who gets this question right wins.
