Default Witches & Warlocks: How It All Started [Game on!]

It was a dark night as the moon hid behind some clouds. Liriel walked down the path alone. Noises could be heard in the woods beside her, but she wasn't afraid. She wasn't afraid of the dark or of the beasts. They were afraid of her.

She came upon her home. Her new home to be more accurate. She wondered how long it would be before she would have to leave again. Opening the front door, she entered and settled in.

The next morning, rumors had already spread that a witch came in the middle of the night and has moved into the Haunted Shack.

Most of the village ignored her, but some went to go visit her. They never were the same afterwards.

Over the next month, more and more rumors spread.

It was said that she could tame wild beasts. She could turn you into a toad and back. She killed people in the woods behind her home, and used their bodies to cast curses and spells. If you looked her in the eye, there was a good chance your heart would stop beating.

Weird things also started happening over the village. Chickens would mysteriously die in the night, and the body hanged on a tree or impaled into the ground. Their blood was used to write wierd messages and symbols on the wall. Crops were dieing in the middle of summer. The town well had been poisoned from some unknown source.

Most of the town blamed her for it. Finally, the village leaders decided to do something about it.

Late at night, they raised a crowd and headed to her home. They sharpened their pitchforks and lit their torches. The entire village participated. Standing in front of her house, they demanded her to leave.

She refused.

The house was lit and burnt down to the ground.

Two days later, when the ashes cooled, they searched through the ashes. They found a single skeleton in the pile. The village cheered. Now the weird stuff would stop. They were wrong.

Soon people started to go missing in the night, and the rumors of "witchery" spread.

Welcome to Witches & Warlocks:
How It All Began!

Narrator: Deathslayer7
Co-Narrator: Catseye2121

As normal, this is a werewolf game with 3 sides to it. There are the villagers and masons, the witches, and the warlocks. Villagers win if no witches or wolves remain, wolves win if they get rid of the opposite side and reduce the number of villagers to their own.

The roles:
Wicked Witch of the West (Wolf Alpha): This is the main witch alpha. She leads the other witches and is trying to get rid of the warlocks. Wins if no warlocks remain and the number of villagers equals the number of wolves. Scries as Witch.

Witches (Wolf): These are the witches lackeys. They help the Wicked Witch with whatever she needs help with. Scries as Witch.

Flying Pet Monkey (Devil): This is the Wicked Witch's pet. Once per night, he can scry on someone who he believes to be intersting. Scries as Devil.

Wicked Warlock of the South (Wolf Alpha): This is the main warlock alpha. He leads the other warlocks and is trying to get rid of the witches. Wins if no witches remain and the number of villagers equals the number of wolves. Scries as Warlock.

Warlocks (wolf): Follow the Wicked Warlock, and do his dirt work. Helps him with whatever he needs. Scries as Warlock.

Wizard's Familiar (Devil): This is the Warlock's pet. Once per night he can change his form into that of any animal, and spy on a person he finds interesting. Scries as devil.

Villagers: These are simple townfolk of the village. They must find the witches and warlocks and burn them get rid of them. Scries as Villager.

Masons: These are the town's leaders. They are charged with the safety of the town and decided to hunt down these witches and warlocks. Scries as Mason.

The Wizard of Oz (Baner): He was one of the warlocks, but turned good. But luck isn't with him. If the village found out that he is a warlock, they would be sure to hang him. Once per night, he can protect a single villager from harm, or he can protect himself. Starts off not knowing anyone.

The Good Witch of the North (Seer): She was one of the witches, but turned good. Once per night, she can scry someone she finds interesting and determines who they are.

Village Idiot (Fool): Thinks he is better than everyone else. Usually sits by the town bar and gets drunk. Rambles to anyone who will listen that the end of the world is coming. More often then not, he accuses people of being a witch. Most of the time he is wrong, but he has been known on occasion to be right. Can spy on someone during the night with a 25% accuracy. Spying on the same person gives the same result. Thinks he is the Seer.

With that over.It is time to sign up.

Players (21/40):
Spoiler


Additional Rules:
  • Helgraf's Scry Interference Rule is in Effect
  • You are not Allowed to Say what your Role is. This is to prevent a network from forming against the wolves.

No, no, no. This is how it got started.

*waves hand over pool of applicants*

Come on people! Hurry up and sign up! I had more applicants the first time around.

The more you join, the less bad you feel when you die hideous deaths.
