Fae Werewolf (Night 2)

[Lady Serpentine]

For their own reasons - and they are many, and as varied as those in them, for any that have cause to hate the Fae may join - the Hunters came this morning, to strike at the Tree of Swords of Jewels, bearing iron to break the wards. A task in which, so far as it can be told, they succeeded... However, the further goal, to destroy it once they had, failed. For their chosen method shattered the protections of the tree in such a way that all nearby, whether Fae, Hunter, or simply mercenaries looking to sell their services to one side or another, lost much of their memories. They know who they are, and what they have to do, but not who the others sharing their goals are. And, as though designed solely to add even more confusion, the wards being destroyed appears to have placed an illusion over many, making it impossible to tell from their features or clothes if they are human or Fae.

Rules:

Spoiler

Show

48 hour day phases, 24 hour nights

Three teams, two opposed, and one neutral.

Everyone starts blind, with the exceptions of The Watcher and The Glass-maker.

Helgraf's Scry Interference is active, so if two people scry the same target, they get a simple reading of "Interference". However, due to the large number of seers in the game making such a more likely possibility than normal, the rule is modified so that if more than two people scry the same person, they each are informed that they are a randomly chosen role other than their real one (this role is randomly determined for each seer; they do not all receive the same information.).

Items can be transferred day or night. They will arrive in the next phase.

Certain roles can choose to transfer their powers to a known non-powered member of their faction (or someone who counts as them), but only during the night phase.

The game will begin at night, in order to allow the various teams to gather a bit of information before choosing who to lynch.

Roles:

Enchanter: Once a day or night you can choose one person and redirect their vote or action to the target of your choice. This includes night kills. However, you cannot use this again until the next phase has passed. So, for example, if you choose to redirect a vote, you couldn't use your ability again until the next night passed.

The Gruagach: Once a night/day you can choose to protect one person from lynching, or night actions. However, if Arafel dies, you can choose, instead, to kill one person during the day or night phases.

Arafel, Keeper of the Tree of Swords and Jewels: During the day you can choose one person to protect from lynching, or in the night phase you can choose one known member of the neutral team to give a jewel from the Tree, thus making them count, for purposes of powers and item restrictions, as a non-powered Fae in addition to their actual role.

The Glass-maker: You are one of the Dreamers. So long as both of you are alive, you may each choose one target to scry each night. However, if the Watcher dies, you can choose each night to either return them to life or void any night action(s) taken by one person. You start knowing the Watcher.

The Watcher: You are one of the Dreamers. So long as both of you are alive, you may each choose one target to scry each night. However, if the Glass-maker dies, you can choose each night to either return them to life or call one of the members of another team, changing their role to that of a non-powered Fae. You start knowing the Glass-maker.

The Keeper of the March: Once a night you may choose to kill one player, or protect them from lynching the next day by keeping them in your home. However, any player so protected is forbidden from voting the next day, or the protection is rendered void.

Courtier: The standard role with no powers.

The Hunters (Wolves):

The Forger: Once a night you can choose to create an iron amulet, which protects the bearer against any night actions taken by the Fae, a suit of armor, which protects against any night kills, or an iron collar, which allows the owner to attempt to enslave someone once per night until successful.

Slayers (At least two; exact number dependent on number of players): You start with an iron sword, which allows you to kill one player each night.

Tracker: Once each night, you may choose to scry one player.

Guardian: You may choose to protect one player each day/night from night kill or lynch.

Hunter: The standard non-powered role.

The Mercenaries:

The Mage: Once a day or night, you may choose to kill one player, or once per night you can remove the collar from an enslaved Fae.

The Mirror: Once every other day you may choose to redirect a lynching onto the first person to vote for someone, or once every other night you can choose to redirect any night actions other than scries and banes against one player back onto the person that performed them.

Assassin: You start with a crossbow, which allows you to kill one player each night.

Spy: Once each night you can choose to scry one player.

Soldier: The standard unpowered role.

Items:

Iron Amulet: Protects against all night actions taken by Fae. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.

Iron Sword: Allows you to kill one player each night. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.

Iron Collar: Allows you to bring a single Fae per collar onto your team. Cannot be used by or traded to Fae.

Suit of Armor: Protects the owner from night kills.

Elfstone: An elfstone from the Tree of Swords and Jewels. Cannot be used by Hunters. Makes the owner count as an unpowered Fae for purposes of power transference and item restrictions.

Crossbow: Allows the owner to kill one player each night.

First!
And in, of course.

[Ramsus]

I'll second being in.

[Vesth]

And third for the win!

[Calamity]

Count me in.

[Grue Bait]

In. Should be interesting.

[Zjoot]

'n I'm in.

[Penguinator]

Been waiting for this one, I have.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Yeah, okay, I'm in.

[Elemental]

I'll give it a go.

[usourselves&we]

We shall be the tenth to join then.

[billtodamax]

Sure, I'll join in.

[super dark33]

In.
Wanted to co-narrate this one but meh.

[bladescape]

... I haven't signed up for this yet? I could've sworn.....

Well, allow me to amend that mistake.

[Oddity]

Inskies yeah

[RuneboundShade]

In...

Also, question, isn't the glass maker and the watcher a little opd? I mean, if the watcher is never found, then the glass maker would be practically invincible... (This is, of course, if I'm reading the rules correctly...>.>)

[Mercenary Pen]

Well, I'm up for giving this a try.

[Matthias2207]

They can both return each other to life. So:
If A is lynched, B revives him the following night.
If A is NK'd and B lynched the following day, they stay dead.
If A is NK'd and B NK'd the following night, but only after reviving A...
Yeah, they can only be killed when NK'd and lynched the same day/night.
At least, that's how I read it.

[Lady Serpentine]

Technically, yes, if they always choose to resurrect them, that would be the only way to kill the Dreamers. But unless one of the Hunter/Mercenary seers has some pretty phenomenal luck, the Watcher or Glass-maker messes up fairly badly, or there's a really unlucky lynch, it's reasonably unlikely that they'll be killed before somewhat late in the game, by which point it's fairly likely that a recruitment or a void is worth more than two scries. And besides, as long as there's still a collar around, or the Forger is alive to make one, it's not necessary for them to actually kill them.

Also, we now have the technical minimum of sixteen people, which would make the game entirely power roles. Does everyone want to go ahead and start now, or should I keep this recruiting a bit longer?

[Mercenary Pen]

I'd say give it time for more people to sign up, but I suppose it all depends on whether it's more convenient for you to start now or continue waiting a little longer...

[Matthias2207]

The thread has only been up for 2/3 days now, so I'd suggest waiting a little longer. All the regular players signed up as far as I can see, but maybe we can persuade some others to join.
I suggest to start the game next Saturday, because the amount of fun is exponential... thingy... to the amount of players. Or vice versa. I don't know how to say it in English... Really annoying...

Rule of Fun:

F=Sr*A^P

F is Fun, measured in .
Sr is the number of Special Roles
A is Ability of the narrator.
P is Players
Exceptions on the Rule of Fun:
If I win, the amount of Fun is infinite.

Not necessarily. You could win because A is low, or P is low.

[Lady Serpentine]

This was my thought too, since the number of wolves isn't really balanced for less than at least twenty players, but I figured you should be informed of the possibility.

If P is the number of players, you forgot the Roleplay of players!

So, it should be
F=Sr*A^P+2|R|

Where R is roleplay

[Lex-Kat]

How can I not join? In!

[Eternis]

I can haz in?


((Looks epic!))

[Lady Serpentine]

You can. And thanks! I'm glad you like it.

Also, as the thread has been up for just over a week now, we have enough people for all roles to be given out once, and joining has tapered off, I'm going to go ahead and start the game*.

*Objections, if you have any, are fine, and will be considered. Also, recruitment is still officially open until I post the opening narration, or at least up to the point that I say all role PMs have been sent out.

[Tom the Mime]

If it's still open, I'll give it a go. Seems interesting.

[Lady Serpentine]

Yep, it is. You'll get your role PM in a few minutes, most likely.

[Lady Serpentine]

Okay, all role PMs have been sent out, so far as I know. Let me know if you didn't get one.

Also, I have no time to narrate right now, but Night 1 has started.
