Guinevere strode down the long corridor, her footsteps ringing against the stone floor. It was late, near midnight, and almost everyone else in the fortress had retired for the night. Every second torch hung upon the wall had been extinguished for the late hour, and Guinevere's shadow flickered eerily between each sconce she passed. She turned a corner at the end of the corridor and approached the great hall before her. Sparing a quick nod for the two guards who stood flanking the open doors, she passed into the hall without slowing her pace.

 

At the far end of the cavernous hall sat Arthur, alone. He looked tired, but then, he often looked tired these days. Britain was living in a golden age under his rule, but that didn't mean that Arthur's duties as kings were any less onerous. Indeed, Guinevere often thought he was more stressed these days, ruling as king, than he had been when he was a war chieftain in the field, bringing the country together one battle at a time.

 

That was why Guinevere had kept her suspicions to herself for so long. She didn't want to worry him unnecessarily. Unfortunately, it was becoming all too clear that the threat she'd begun to see was real.

 

 "Arthur," Guinevere said, as she came up beside him. "I need to talk to you."

 

"I don't suppose it can wait?" Arthur barely glanced up at her before turning his attention back to the parchment he was studying. "I have to make a decision about this dispute Carados brought to me, and I'm only just now familiarizing myself with the details..."

 

"No, it can't wait." Guinevere gripped the back of the chair beside him, steeling herself for what she had to say. "Arthur, I think there's a spy among your knights."

 

"What?" That drew his attention. Arthur stared up at her, looking baffled. At least he hadn't reacted with outright disbelief. Arthur used to trust her, but they spent so little time together these days, she hardly knew what he was thinking. "Why would you think that?"

 

"That ambush on the road to Astolat." Guinevere threw a quick glance over her shoulder, reassuring herself that the guards at the door weren't in hearing distance. "When Lancelot and Percival were nearly killed - Lancelot told me that their route had been kept very secret, that only a select few from of the Round Table knew of it."

 

"That doesn't mean someone leaked the information." Arthur ran a hand over his face. "They were bandits, common enough in that stretch of the forest-"

 

"They were dressed like bandits, but Lancelot said they fought a little too well for common thieves," Guinevere argued. "And that they didn't seem interested in the strongboxes they were carrying. They went right in for the kill-"

 

"That still doesn't mean that one of my knights is spying for - spying for who, exactly?" Arthur asked.

 

"I don't know," Guinevere said, frustrated. "You're not exactly lacking for enemies, Arthur. Look, I know it isn't all that much to go on-" Guinevere leaned forward, trying to impress the severity of this threat upon him "-and I know you have a thousand other things to be concerned about. But Merlin is hardly ever around anymore, and when he is, he's more cryptic than ever. We can't rely on him to see threats lurking in the shadows, Arthur. Percival nearly died in that ambush, and if it was the result of leaked information - deliberately leaked information - then the source of that leak needs to be found."

 

Arthur sighed, leaning back in his chair. "What do you want me to do?"

 

"Nothing." When Arthur raised an eyebrow in surprise, Guinevere went on, "I want you to allow me to look into this. You may have precious free time these days, but I have so much free time, I don't know what to do with myself. And I know these knights, I can get close to them, root out the source of this. So long as you're on board."

 

Arthur was quiet for a long moment, considering. Then he said, "All right. Do what you have to. But keep it quiet. If it gets out that we're investigating my own knights, my most trusted friends, it could destroy everything we've worked for."

 

Neither of them saw the figure concealed behind the back door slip out of the hall and into the darkness of the castle.

This is a partially open setup. Some, but not all of the following roles will be in play in this game. Please note that you may know some roles under different names – many role names have been changed here purely for flavor.

There will be some Vanilla-roled players.

1.   1X Bulletproof Vest – Will be protected from one nightkill

2.   Doublevoter – Has a secret second vote

3.   1X Evil Priest – Can target one player. If they have a role, they will be stripped of the role and turn vanilla.

4.   Flavor Seer – Can target one player at night. You will be given an item (a clue) to that player’s character.

5.   Gifter – Can gift a specific ability to a specific player, if you find that player

6. Healer – Can choose to protect one player at night. Chosen player will be protected from any and all kill attempts made on them. The Healer can only self-protect once.

7.   Historian – Can target one player at night and will be told all night actions performed upon that player thus far in the game

8.  2X Janitor – Can prevent a player’s alignment/role/character from being revealed upon death

9.  Lovers/Siblings – Two linked players. If one dies, so does the other. The two players may also try to find each other by sending in the name of one player each night. Players will not be allowed to communicate if they find each other, they will simply be told if their guess was correct. Also, if Player A finds Player B, this does not mean Player B is told the identity of Player A – they must correctly guess their counterpart also to find out who it is.

10.  Loved – Needs one more vote than the majority to be lynched

11.  Mirror – If targeted with a night action, that night action will be reflected back upon the player who targets you.

12.  Motivator – Can target one player at Night. If the target has a night action, they will get to use it twice the following night.

13.  Role Seer – Can view one player at night. You will be told that player’s role.

14. Scribe – Can guess how many scum were on the lynch for the day. You will be given a “less” or “more” answer.

15.  Seer – Can view one player at night. You will be told that player’s alignment.

16.  Seraph Knight – Can choose one player to protect from nightkills for the rest of the game. Cannot self-protect.

17. Sorcerer – Can view one player at night and see if they have a night kill (whether they use it or not)

18.  Survivor – Wins if they survive until the end of the game.

19.  Thief – Can steal an ability from a specific player

20.  Vigilante – Has one or more kill shots

21.  Virgin – If this player is killed, the mafia will get no nightkill the next night

22.  1X Watchmaker – Halfway through any phase, you can choose to skip to the end of the phase.

 

 

Town Win Condition: You win when all threats to the Town have been eliminated.

Mafia Win Condition: You win when your team has a voting majority.

RULES:

 

 

 

1.   To remain active, you have must at least half as many posts as the Mod (me only – not the Co-Mods). I don’t post much as a Mod outside of the occasional Mod Note and vote counts, so this shouldn’t be too hard. If you fall beneath this required activity level, you may be modkilled. If you cannot continue in the game for some reason, PLEASE notify me and you will be replaced. DO NOT just break the rules so you will be modkilled.

2.   All Day Phases (except for Day 1) will last approximately 72 hours. Night Phases will last 24-36 hours. (Closer to 24, but this will depend on when I’m sleeping/working.) Day 1’s length will be determined based on the start day/activity.

3.   This game will be a hammer game. To achieve a lynch, a voting majority much be achieved by the deadline. If no voting majority is achieved, no one will be lynched. If you go twice without achieving a lynch (unless this is because the majority has voted No Lynch), then random players will begin to be modkilled when no lynch is achieved. Basically, if you guys go twice without achieving a lynch and I feel that it is because of a lack of activity, modkills will begin to happen.

4.   This is a coroner game. Upon a player’s death, their role, character, and alignment will be revealed.

5.   Role claiming is allowed. Character claiming is allowed.

6.   Self-votes are allowed. Voting No Lynch is allowed.

7.   Editing is NOT allowed.

8.   Please vote using the the vote tags: [ v ] [ / v ] You do not need to unvote.

9.   DO NOT quote your Role PM, or any communication from the Mod, in the thread.

10.  DO NOT communicate with any player about the game outside of the game thread.

11.  Once you are dead, you are allowed on “Bah” post. DO NOT post any game-related information or hints in this post.

12.  Mod is God. I reserve the right to make any amendments to these rules or to the game as is necessary. You will be informed if any change is made.

MOD NOTE: You will probably see that there is a pic of your character included in your Role PMs, but they're all from different King Arthur movie/tv adaptations (and maybe a couple of book pics if I can't find an on-screen pic of a character). This game isn't based on any particular adaptation.
