"THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS COMPETITION! OUR FIRST BAND TONIGHT IS BLUE OYSTER CULT!'' Booms the announcer's voice over the PA system. The lights dim and the band comes out to the stage. They launch into "Don't Fear the Reaper", with a guy who looks a bit like Will Ferrell just whacking the crap out of a cowbell. Right at the beggining of the guitar solo, the power is killed, and the band stops playing.

"What's going on?" asked Raistlin, setting aside his mike and looking out into the darkness. He spotted a light, coming from a lighter, and then a lit cigarette over by the generator.

"Did you do something?" As soon as those words were out of his mouth the figure grabbed for something in his pocket, and threw it. It was a little silver harmonica and it pierced Raistlin's heart. A few gunshots were heard, and Raistlin's bandmates dropped dead as well.

The figure tipped his 10-gallon hat and threw his cigarette on the ground. He laughed an odd half-laugh half-hiccup and threw a whiskey bottle at a judge.
"Rockstars, I've got one thing to say to you all. It's...a psychobilly freakout" He laughed as the musicians and judges scrambled away, hiding in their tour buses. He turned, and 4 other figures joined him in walking away from the carnage. The bodies of the band lied on the stage, forgotten. The musicians hid in their tour buses until dawn, then daring to come out. They had all day to find a person to kill. It was only a matter of time.

Raistlin, the narrorator and Buck Dharma was killed by the hicks. Day begins and will end in about 48 hours.

Vespe peeks out of his bus.

Wow. First concert and people are already dying. This can't be good...

He steps out. He's wearing a white suit and round glasses.

Ah well, the show must go on, right? Right?

Noooooo. BOC are my favourite band! Well, one of them. And why "Don't Fear The Reaper"? It's not even their best song.

How could you kill Buck?!?! That's just not right!

((I like BOC too. That's why I cast myself as Buck. And it's Don't Fear the Reaper because that is my favorite song of theirs, (Godzilla is a close 2nd) and I appreciate Irony. Getting killed in the middle of Don't Fear the Reaper was too ironic for me to pass up.))

"Hey! Keep it down guys.. Your upsetting the vibe of my fish!"

He pulls his head back in and continues feeding his aquatic creatures.

Dave the sushi saleman wakes up in the bus just as "The Fish Man" passes him.

Great, I finally get to attend a concert and people are already getting killed. I wonder if that Salmon guy would let me borrow some fish to experiment on.

((When in doubt, point at the Salmon ))

@^ Why not?A Sushi Salesman has as much right to attend a concert as any fish nut

A small teenager looks around. "Well, if this is a rock concert I see why I had to sneak out of the house." She is only marginally shockedby the carnage due to media over-exposure.
However, she is still wearing a Queen t-shirt and looking upset about the deaths of BOC. She points at FE "I'm not drunk. I'm definitely drunk so why am I seeing Dumbo?" SHe slowly backs away from the elephant and bumps into someone.

From one of the trailers, you hear a loud crash, and then smoke starts pouring out of one of them. Korias stumbles out, and a few people rush to the caravan with fire extinguishers. As he sits on the ground, he makes a mental note not to trust The Talking Salmon about doing pyrotechnics indoors.

Thanks, BookBoy.

I've hardly ever been a werewolf in any game! WW VIII was my first and I started playing at WW IV!

I've also never previously been a bad guy in any variant (apart from Revolution where almost everybody either is or becomes an agitator at some point).

Hmm...someone fabricating evidence....suspicious, very suspicious.

Young man. Early twenties. Throwing up into a bucket in the corner after seeing the devastation on stage. He staggers over toward the band area.

"It's not enough to find these psychobillies and hang 'em. We have to rock even harder to show 'em they can't stop the music. They'll NEVER stop the music. Who's with me?!"

Makes sense...but, if you recall, sometimes hicks try to badly imitate other cultures. There is a substantial difference between the Big Mac and an original German hamburger. He could be one of them.
