Admin Thread WW: LXXXIV Disaster by the Lake - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The setting for this village will be in Dale, at Lake-town. The events of The Hobbit have passed, and the Lake Men are attempting to rebuild after Smaug's desolation, but it obviously attracts other unwanted guests as Dale rebuilds.

Also, anyone joining please choose an occupation (town crier, notable miscreant, armorer, guard...etc). The occupations will just help me write narrations. Since Dale is also a bit of a trade hub, you don't need to be from Dale. You may be a visiting dwarf or elf character.

Roles

Wolves (likely 3) - Wolves can PM at night and choose ONE villager they want to kill. Wolves win, when the number of innocents is equal or less than the wolves' number.

Cobbler (Moneybags) - The Mayor of Lake-town is up to trouble again as he counts as an innocent, but desires the wolves victory. The wolves promise rich reward for those who help, and the Mayor will never turn down handsome compensation for a bit of treachery. (I'm leaning towards Moneybags being a normal cobbler, but if somehow the number of players gets up to 15-16+, he'll become an cobbler-spy. One who can spy on a person each night and discover if the person is lupine or no.)

---

Seer (Roac) - Normal seer, I just have role named as Roac for theme purposes. So instead of "dreaming" this seer will have a faithful raven to go spying ONE person each night. The raven then reports back to the Seer on that villager's role.

Ranger (Gwaihir) - Like the seer, Gwaihir is a normal Ranger (again for theme purposes

). Selects one person to protect each night, for the wolves dare not cross paths with a great eagle. Can not protect the same person two nights in a row. And the Eagles being a proud race, Gwaihir can NOT protect him/herself.

Hunter (Bard) - A Logical Hunter. Bard's bow is true, so he can only take down a wolf. Bard may choose ONE person to hunt each night. He can NOT hunt the same person 2 nights in a row, and can NOT change the hunt during the day. If Bard is lynched/night killed and the person he hunted is a wolf, both die. If the person is innocent only Bard dies.

Do the

++Bold

for voting and no retractable votes.

I believe that settles the roles and set up. We'll have time to discuss what start day and what DL works the best after Thanksgiving. Cheers everyone. Have a great feast (huh, the one time a year everyone can be a wolf.

)

DL is 8pm EST (1am GMT)
