Frodo and Sam learn that the Nazgul, Ancient Kings of Men corrupted by the power of the Rings, have located the Shire and are approaching quickly. With the help of their Hobbit friends Merry and Pippin, they leave the Shire under cover, and head for the Inn of the Prancing Pony, in Bree, to meet up with Gandalf and head from there to Rivendell. Secrecy is the most important thing -- the Ring must not be discovered by the Dark Lord.

------

Gandalf: Seer, with Night 0 peek.
Aragorn: Angel. 50% protection on Gandalf, and the Ring-Bearer, otherwise 100%. Cannot protect himself.

Frodo: Masons with Sam. Ring-Bearer.
Sam: Masons with Frodo. If Frodo dies, Sam becomes the Ring-Bearer. If both are dead, the One Ring is lost.

Merry: Masons with Pippin. If Pippin is killed at night, Merry dies as well.
Pippin: Masons with Merry. If Merry is killed at night, Pippin dies as well.

Legolas: Starts game told he's a "villager". Peeks as "Legolas".
Gimli: Starts game told he's a "villager". Peeks as "Gimli".

Boromir: Corruptable villager, does not know his identity, but corrupted if nightkilled. Peeks and dies as "Boromir". A peek will also tell you if he's been corrupted, but death won't.

Ring-Bearer: The Ring-Bearer gets a peek each night, starting with Night 1. If the Bearer is killed at night, that night's peek is wasted. If the One Ring is lost, all village power roles lose their powers, including masonries, but also Boromir is no longer corruptable. Abilities or effects based on plot points, if any, may be retained.

Evil:

Sauron: Peeks each night to locate the One Ring. Detects whether or not the target is a hobbit (Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin).

Saruman: Godfather, peeks as villager, true role revealed upon death.

Witch-King: Role-blocker

Nazgul (3)


9 Fellows, 11 vanillagers, 6 evils.

Notes:

Nobody is killed automatically by any plot event. Other things WILL happen via plot events.
Masonries are night-chat only.
No quoting PMs. No using weird html to send secret messages inside posts. Generally, no angle-shooting.

Nightfall is 10pm. 9:59 counts, 10:00 doesn't.

It is DAY 1.
