Wrapped Around Your Finger

Notes

"Was it just a game to you...?" A script loosely based around characters that my group enjoys. The demon is rarely a sitting duck. Mobility with Scarlet Woman, Imp, and Fang Gu, and protection from the Lleech keep the good team guessing about who the right execution is, with the Goblin serving out heavy punishment for the wrong choice. Town has a lot of good info to help narrow down who is who, but must navigate around a mostly silent evil team and a very hidden suite of outsiders. I recommend establishing how you'll rule the Lleech-Scarlet Woman interaction with your group since, rules as written, simultaneous deaths can cause the evil team to win overnight. I generally have the Lleech die with the host during the day, which ends the game if it occurs on final five.
