Despite Nocmen's protests, he is strung up and lynched. gorckat and farside, expressing their relief at finally having killed the last scum, went home and slept. But all was not well. As gorckat slept he had a vision in which he was visited by farside.
"Hello, gorckat," Farside began, "thank you for helping me finish off the town. I'm sure you're aware by now that I was indeed working with the scum. In fact, I'm the worst scum of all. Glork was The Strangler and Holy was The Sadist. Do you know what I am? The Hellish Nightmare. Only the Omega Sage can stop me from torturing people from the inside, and he died early. While my fellow scum were killing during the nights, I went to houses and mentally attacked others..."
"What did you do to them?" asked gorckat.
"I targeted Rishi the first night (Night 0), but his mason partner was still alive and, well, you know what they say: Love conquers all. He was unaffected. The next night I targeted The Fonz (pete d). I filled his head with thoughts of Suicide. I made him the Suicidal Townie. Buthe was cured before he could kill himself. I believe this was your handiwork..."
"I targeted pete d the third night..."
"Yes, and you accidentally cured him, but while you did that I was hurting Nocmen, or at least trying to. He was the Calm Townie, wasn't he? I couldn't make him angry or depressed at all. His zen-like focus negated my attack. The fourth night (Night3) Glork and I fell asleep, so nothing happened. That's four nights in a row where my ability has been wasted. But on the fifth night, I was successful. Can you guess who I targeted?
"Roffman..."
"Yes, without his masonpartner alive, he was easy to scare. BUT IT BACKFIRED! He killed Glork in his rage before killing himself, leaving me the only one left. Ah, but that's all in the past. It's just me and you now, and I think you know what needs to be done..."
"I won't let you!" yelled gorckat within his own mind. "As soon as I wake up, I'm getting the hell out of town!"
"HAHAHAWAHAHA!!" bellowed farside. "I've been busy giving people nightmares and letting my goons do the killing, but didn't you think that *I* would have a way of killing as well? I've already told you why I'm known as the NIGHTMARE. Now let me show you why I'm known as the HELLISH NIGHTMARE...."
----------------
Day breaks, and farside has slept soundly. He goes to gorckat's house and enters, fully knowing what he will see. In bed lies gorckat, foaming at the mouth with eyes as wide and bulging. He is babbling and shaking terribly, his mind completely destroyed.
"Time to find a new town..." smiled farside, as he packed up and left.
Nocmen, the Calm Townie, lynched Day 5
gorckat, the Brainy Inventor, mentally destroyed Night 5
farside22, the Hellish Nightmare, survived
Role breakdown wrote:opie, "The Omega" sage
You are the mental guru extrodinaire. Your anchient wisdom will not help you to determine who is your enemy, but you do possess the mystical ability to go into people's minds during the night and give them a pleasant dream. Each night, pick one person to use your ability on. During the day you shall attempt to lynch your enemies.
Omega Sage can give good dreams to people. If he is targetted by a nightmare, he is roleblocked
gorckat (Gemelli), "The Brainy" inventor
You are the inventor. You have many impressive machines, but unfortunately you do not have a mafia-detecting machines. You do have four small machines A through D, each with the ability to input somebody's name. You may use one machine each night, and each will probably break after one use. Send your choice of machine to use and player to target during the Night phase. Lynch the scum during the day.
Devices A and C give the NIGHTMARE effect. Device B gives the Good Dream effect. Device D does nothing.
