Nodlied claimed to roleblock Verti. Thus, verti could not have passed anyone the item, if Nodlied's claim is true. Therefore I look bad because I have it. Because I must have killed Verti and taken the item. But that's simply not the case. The item still fell into my hands. So the most likely thing is that Nodlied lied about the block and killed him instead, letting the pass action actually occur.
