I was wondering if the Murderer would make this mistake!
Alethiophile moved to the basement to turn the lights on. But only Servants, Detective, and Murderer can do that. Alethiophile is the Attorney, NOT A SERVANT. So he is the Detective or Murderer.
Probably, he sent in a Dark List to move to the Master Bedroom, attack Purplebeard, move to the Basement, turn the lights back on, and then move back to the Parlor. But he didn’t realize that the last part of the Dark List wouldn’t be processed (anything after the lights come back on is not processed).
Or he could have not wanted the murder to get the chance to kill someone and, as the detective, tried to turn the lights back on before the murder could strike. But failed.
"Nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. In that respect it differs from almost every other game. The primary activity of Nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. Even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."

Roujo:
Also possible.
NoOneImportant:
I blame this on lazy servants who didn’t turn the lights back on.
Purplebeard:
I like how I heard both the creaking and the padding noise, but not the crashing noise of the attack itself.
