Werewolf - Game 4 - Shadow Gulch

In this game players were townsfolk in a western style town.

My name is Zane Masterson. I am the sheriff in these parts. I welcome you to Shadow Gulch. This isnt your normal town. Things...happen here. The nearby mine shows an eerie glow at night and folks says they hear howls. Its scary.

Adventurers, fighters, priests, troublemakers, all flock here and now here you all are. Hoping to make your fortune. Well, let me tell you, it’s likely that most of you will die, can't be helped. I hope you know what your role is in this here town, cause that's what's going to save you. Just a villagers, well then I hope your door is locked and the windows are shut.

Monsters like to come out at night, can you stop them? Probably not, but apparently you are what I got to do the job. I dont know how many of them there are, who which of you can be trusted, so if we think someone is a werewolf, well...we just shoot em.

Get some sleep, you are going to need it.

[Roles incoming]
[Seer gets a first night investigation]
[Day 1 to start shortly]

Day 1
Dust and tumbleweeds fill the streets, the mayor's officer looks closed. Its quiet in Shadow Gulch. It appears that most of the township has headed to the town hall at the end of Main Street. As you get closer you hear an uproar.
“Zanes Dead” a woman wales. “Now what are we doing to do?” “Who's going to stop those vile beasts from taking over the town?”
Everyone pauses at this, the town inherently knew this was bad, but it was starting to sink in. They all knew that the lycan infection had been spread to some of the townspeople, what they didn't know what who was affected. It could be anyone. The only one you can trust is yourself.
A voice raises “People, now that the sheriff is gone, we should go back to the old ways.” The old ways… I wonder what that could mean. You don't wonder long.
We will execute someone every day at noon till the killing stops and the werewolves are dead. Its the only way. This plan seems completely absurd, you were raised civilized. But you can see that everyone else thinks this is a good idea and you are afraid if you speak against it, you will be the first to go.
So who’s a werewolf, and who’s a human?

[day 1 accusation phase]

After a long spell the group got quiet. It became obvious that they had settled on two people whom might be Werewolves. there were no obvious allegiances, a bunch of lone pines.  Perhaps it was fear, perhaps it was certainty, but two names were called.
Mario Fernandez and Joshua Horst.
“alright people” someone called. Which one’s last thought will be a bullet?
[Please vote using the voting button in this email. The person you vote for will be killed]

The names are called. Hands are raised, Justice will come swiftly to “the winner”.
Whos think Josh a fur covered night killer?
Who thinks Mario is a Moon loving freak?
The count is made, and its immediately clear. Mario Fernandez, you have been found guilty of werewolfery. Your sentence, death.
Mario screams: You idiots, I am a powerful Sorcerer. No one can stop me, all of you villagers are doo…. BANG!
Mario fell over with a small hole between his eyes. Some near the door says “Well, looks like his sorcery didn’t save him from my lead sandwich.”
All of you are taken aback. A sorcerer? What else could we be facing? Lets hope tonight is quiet.
[ Mario the sorcerer is dead]
[Night 1 to commence. Those of you with special jobs will be contacted]

Day 2
It was a cold night out in the desert land of Shadow Gulch. The moon was big in the sky, and everything threw extra long shadows. You hear multiple howls “ow, ow owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww”.

You all awake and go bout your business. Mucking stables, shoeing horses, all those things that make frontier life. You were awake all night, the howls never stopped. They are out there, waiting for you. At 9am you mosey on down to the townhall.
Someone murmers “wonder who got killed?”
“Dont know.” says someone else.

People are getting ancy. Finally some tells everyone to shut up “Shut up”, and sit down “and Sit Down.”

You take your seat. The voice continues “Now it looks like we are all here, so either, the wolves have left, and we all know that , that aint true. Or, they turned someone else. Now there is more of them to fear.”

We had a good start kill that damned sorcerer Mario. Who we killing today?

[ Day 2 accusation phase begins]



The votes have been tallied. Too bad for David. He calmly walked up to the stage a small smirk on his face. You never noticed it before but there is a make shift gallows.

As the nose rounds his neck, David yells over the crowd. “I feel bad for you poor villagers. I could have saved one of you, I could have easily killed the wolves, but no one asked me. I was the only witch in 100 miles”.

A short drop later he was dead.

[Night 2 has begun}

Day 3
Darkness warshed over the gulch - darker'n a black steer's tookus on a moonless prairie night. You know something bad was going to happen. The howls raged!
A scream rips through the night, a woman. You try to listen hard to figure out who it is, but alas, no. Just a gurgle and then nothing. When the sun comes up you race towards the scream.
You arrive to see Scarlett, body a mess. It appears she was doing some sort of spell to see “Auras”. Unfortunately for her it didn’t protect her from death.
Everyone heads to the town hall. Scarlett was trying to help everyone, she was looking for people with power who could help. Oh well, guess that wont be happening again. Someone is going to pay for this!
Who will it be?
[Scarlett the Aura Seer is dead]
[day 3 accusation phase]

The clock strikes Noon.
Shadow Gulch is a hot place today. Another person dead. Two of our citizens in the dirt. I think its time for a hanging.
Townspeople, Peter and DD have been accused of being werewolves. By a show of hands, who gets to hang?
[ Using the vote button please vote for the person you wish to kill]





Day 4
Its  a late stormy night when you hear the howls. Multiple wolves are growling. Then a warcry reaches your ears, someone is actually fighting the wolves. You aren’t going out there, you’re not stupid, but you hope for the best. Thunder rolls, lightning strikes.
You don’t know whos winning but the fight seems to go on forever. Then you hear it, a cry of pain then nothing. The gentle sound of the rain. Thunder!
As the sun rises you leave your homes. You of course head to the sound you heard last night. DD is there, with her armor on. It appears she was on the way to protect someone and got caught out in the street. She couldn’t fight them off.
When you get to the town people are furious. DD could have saved everyone. A trouble maker in the back says “We should hang two people today!!!!!!!”
“Fine Fine” says someone in the back. “We will hang two today!”
Those werewolves are going to pay! But who are they?
[DD the BodyGuard is dead]
[Day 4 accusations. There will be two hangings today. After the first hanging accusations will begin again for a second]
Kari and Cesar are lead to the stage. The votes are counted.
7 votes for Kari.
7 votes for Cesar.
The townspeople didn’t know what to do. How do we break a tie? You suspect both of these people… The tension reaches a fever pitch. At that time Cesar transforms into A werewolf and Kills Kari for causing so much trouble for him.
Kari was dead instantly, the townspeople open up with their rifles and 6 shooters and put down Cesar as well.
Well, that was one hanging. We need to do another. you all look around blood spattered across your faces. Who will it be?
[Accusation phase 2 is on, please accuse before 1pm]

After the blood bath that just happened, most people are silent. Thomas and Jon both were trying to help clean up the mess and everyone quickly pointed the finger that them.
“They are the wolves”
“Kill them”
Both jon and Thomas deny being a wolf and claim to simply be trying to help. But one of them won’t be helping much longer.
[Using the voting buttons ,please vote for either Jon or Thomas]

The room was silent as the votes were counted.
“looks like everyone but one person voted” a voice said. “Guess that means we are ready”.
Thomas please step forward. You have been found guilty.
Thomas seemed to know this was coming. He put his hands together and prayed. “My children, I was not able to save anyone, not even myself. Good luck.”
Thomas died quietly.
[Thomas the Priest is dead]
[Night 4 Begins]


Day 5
You heard it last night. Another person dead at the hands of the wolves. The sound was terrifying. You have heard all manner of creature be killed; cows, horses, dogs, but nothing like this. The shriek seemed to go through you mind not just your body.
After the sun came up the 10 people left in town came together. Turns out Mallory was killed. You hear that she was killed around some sort of crystal ball; perhaps she was trying to see something. Well… I guess she didn’t see that coming.
You see hard looks in everyone’s eyes, so much death. Even out here in the Wild no one should see so many people die so quickly. You gotta kill their Werewolves fast…or they will take over the town.
[Mallory the Seer was killed]
[Day 5 Accusation phase]

A sound carries over the wind. What is that…? A harmonica? What’s the song” Oh Suzanna…”? This eerie sound continues as everyone discusses what to do next.
It appears to come down the 3 people . John, Jon, and Alex. With no way to break the tie, all three were forced to step up.
OK folks, whos a werewolf?
[Vote for who you think is a Werewolf]

Three people may have been put up to hang, but it appears that everyone had their sights already set.
Alex Wilcox, the only youngster there was immediately singled out. “Its your time to die Wolf” shouts someone nearby. Alex cries, he doesn’t want to be hung…but who does. There is steel now in the hearts of the villagers.
As the noose is put around his neck, Alex transforms into a Wolf cub, but his thrashing caused the stool to be kicked out from underneath him and he hung himself.
Another wolf down.
I think the wolves will get revenge tonight. Is anyone safe?
[Night 5 has started]

The moon was bright during the 5th night. Everyone expected to the worse. Shadow Gulch hadn’t seen such violence in a long time. After the sun rose, you got dressed and headed to the town hall, wondering who got dead.
There…on stage… hanging … were Julianne and Chris Shanley. It appears there were there having a secret meeting, probably trying to figure out how to kill the werewolves while they still could. But that doesn’t matter now.
There are six townspeople left. Who can you trust?
[Julianne the Mayor is dead]
[Chris Shanley the villager is dead]
[Day 6 accusation phase]

It appears that two camps have formed. Those favoring Jon and those favoring Gordon.  They were at an impasse. The votes were tied. Chris Patlovany was afraid, he had a terrible sense about what was going on. He quickly drew is gun and killed Jon. Jon Transformed into the beast he was and killed Gordon.
Chris was satisfied, he thought that was it. Sure Gordon was dead but so was the last werewolf.  He looks over at John Worrall and both sign with relief.
As they do the others Josh and Tyler attacked. John and Chris didn’t stand a chance. The wolves had won. After cleaning up the blood and mess, they renamed the down “Moon Rising” and waited for more settlers to come. It was going to be a good year.
Congratulations Wolves
[Jon the Wolf died]
[Gordon the villager died]
[ The wolves would have killed one more person and had a majority. Game ends. Wolf Victory]
