This could mean witch then. I'm just scanning roles now.

If it's the witch, it's possible Local is telling the truth.
It's an item that can appear anywhere, it can randomly generate in the shop or be won on a quest. Doesn't necessarily have to be crafted by a witch or alchemist.

Either way I'm taking it to mean it wasn't the acolyte kill, but Ben killing Local confirmed Local's claim, so... lol

As the village seethes with suspicion and silence, Ben steps forward, his eyes fixed on Local Hero, who stands tall in dented armor, the ever-steady Knight among them.


Ben doesn't speak.
He doesn't plead.
He hurls a spear with sudden, brutal precision.


The weapon sails through the morning air — a silver arc of accusation made steel — and strikes Local Hero square in the chest. His shield barely rises in time. The blow knocks him back, staggering.


For a moment, it seems he might endure it.


But the crack in his armor was already there. The wound beneath, already deepened. The Knight drops to his knees, a look of stunned betrayal frozen on his face.


He falls.
And this time, there is no one left to guard him.


Local Hero, the Knight, is dead.

I was pretty confident on that one... Dude seemed too eager to give up gold to Tommy.

I don't think there is an acolyte role that masks role on death though, so that one's on me.

We're definitely in trouble.

Alu - Town
Ben - Acolyte
CG - ?
FR - Town
Jawneh - Likely Acolyte
Jon - Town (thought again I don't have a way to prove it)
Kat - ?
Tommy - ?
Zell - Solo Killer
I'm the Friar. I just picked the wrong one of the two I suspected to target.
 
As the last breath leaves Local Hero's body, his broken form still and bloodied on the stones, a second figure lets out a strangled gasp.


Kat — who all this time had stood tall and silent in armor nearly identical to the Knight's — suddenly seizes, her limbs locking, her eyes rolling back. The resemblance had been uncanny… too uncanny.


Then her body convulses, and with a sickening crack, the illusion collapses.


The polished armor twists and peels away like shedding skin. Her face warps, losing the noble lines of the Knight's visage, unraveling into something hollow, faceless, and wrong — a mask that never truly belonged.


Beneath the borrowed identity lies a thing of sinew and shadow — a mimic born to echo and deceive.
And now, untethered from its host, it can no longer survive.


Kat, the Mimic, dies with a shuddering hiss.
The truth dies with her — but not before everyone sees it.

So we have FR kill himself on a confirmed villager target.

For some reason didn't lynch the assassin despite him getting a guaranteed kill that coming night, which led to a village kill based off a bad guess, who then avenge killed another who was outed as killed.

Ben killed someone based on faulty guesses. But that ended up killing the solo as well apparently?

But he was the merchant and incentivized to make people spend. Also pretty sure he asked for gold too.

But I admit, I made a bad call after stewing in silence for a day.
Say I believe you... that leaves CG, Jawneh, Kat and Tommy. 3 Acolytes in there.

Ok then.... If Ben is truthful, then CG, Jawneh and Tommy are the acolytes.

Well I Kat anymore, I guess. Still apologies to Local, but at least it helped something. I wasn't thinking there were multiple solo roles.

Tommy, Jawneh and CG sounds fairly good to me, but I'm now doubting my read on people.

Jawneh is claiming the same role Kelly was revealed to have. Not sure what CG and Tommy are claiming.

Yeah, makes me more sus of Jawneh. Tommy claimed Thief. CG has just been saying he has no idea what's happening.
 
The morning mist clings to the village square like a second skin. The fire pit is cold. No one speaks. Not yet.


But then… the bulletin board creaks, though no wind stirs. A low hum — like a whisper you can't quite hear — ripples through the air.


Before the watching eyes of the town, a blank scrap of parchment peels into view, curling at the edges as if aged by time that never passed. Dark ink bleeds across it in slow, deliberate strokes.


JON.


The name burns itself into the board, etched with magic that reeks of judgment. No hand placed it. No voice claimed it.
But those who remember the Silent Procession — the footsteps in the night, the cold breath of the dead — know this was not an accident.


A bounty has been placed.


And it wasn't by the living.

The morning passes quietly in the shop. Dust hangs in the light like ash. A few items sit unsold on the shelves — nothing moves.


Then, without warning, two gold coins slide across the counter, slow and deliberate.


The shopkeeper stares, frozen. No one touched them. No customer entered.


Then — just as suddenly — the coins vanish. Gone. As if swallowed by the wood itself.


A heartbeat later, the Necromancer's hand burns cold, and a parchment curls into existence in their grasp. Faded ink scrawls a simple line:


"Sale completed. Commission: 2 gold."


There is only one name that comes to mind.


Benzine.
The Merchant.
Risen.


And though his body was buried…
his business never closed.

So, alternate theory time:

Jon and Ben are acolytes. Ben pretended to be muted yesterday. He found out Quagmire's role and decided to out him as village to gain trust. They then found out about Zell and argued to keep him around in order to get another villager killed, with the hopes that Zell would then be lynched today so Jon would be safe. Jon confirmed he was going to buy a bounty on smacktard so there wouldn't have been a risk of an acolyte death.

When killing Quagmire, they looted his corpse and got the spear he made as blacksmith. Then used it on Local while coming up with a flimsy story as to why he was so sure about it.


@Ants! if you kill someone with the poison miasma do you loot their corpse? That's pretty necessary for this theory.

Nope. Pretty sure the blacksmith can't hold onto their crafted stuff so it wouldn't be on their body.

Plus Ants just said nah.
