It is the end of an age. Legion swept in with his armies converting the good, killing those who resisted and gathering relics of power. With Balaam, his devious advisor at his side, the balance of power between good and evil was tipping heavily toward a grim future. Legion has discovered and harnessed control of the dark redden, the essence of evil power, and uses it to convert the good and thus, as he fights, his armies grow stronger. Now he has set his sights on taking his war to the divine. All he needs to ready his army to cross into the divine, is to find the last of the relics.
Courier’s Scepter
Bracers of Endor
Ring of Gad
Sword of Ehud
Staff of the Wise
Writ of Twofold
These have been gathered in Temple Green Waters. The temple is surrounded for miles by a river that flows with a green water. There is nothing obviously special about the water aside from its color. The water is blessed by the divine and Dark Redden cannot cross over it. Legion and those in his army are filled with Dark Redden and so the temple is protected.
… …
Judas crossed over the green water and became a student-priest in the order of the divine. It wasn’t until late in his studies that the spark of dark redden manifest itself in him. He began to dream of the warrior king who he later pieced together was Legion, the one who was ravaging the lands and headed toward Temple Green Waters. At least they were safe behind the Green Moat.
Legion’s instructions were simple enough, and before long Judas was able to speak the words by the Eastern Bridge. For a brief moment the waters parted at the Western Gate. There was not enough of an interruption for anyone to notice, but it was enough time for Legion and Balaam to pass over. They were free to continue their search for the relics inside the temple.
Legion did not imagine simply crossing the gap in the waters would have such an affect on them. Their control over the Dark Redden loosened and as he grasped for control, it slipped away. All but a small spark of the power was gone. Still it was enough to create an illusion to protect his and Balaam’s identity. It was also enough he figured to win over 1 convert. He knew he had Judas’ loyalty but had no way to detect him and under the illusion he knew Judas would not recognize him either. He made sure that he passed on enough Redden to Balaam that he would be able to use his seer powers and learn who had possession of the relics, if only once each night. Time was on their side though as nobody knew of their presence and they could blend in with the ten thousand residents of the temple.
After some time Balaam discovered that the relics were all being housed in the inner sanctum of the temple. Legion and Balaam used glimpses of power to deceive their way into the inner sanctum. Only 14 priests resided in these parts and 6 of them would each have a relic in their possession. The priests resided in small apartments, in a life of solitude, each not knowing the other, knowing only that they must protect their relic until they were relieved. Legion grinned as he pondered how easy this would be; only 2 weeks and he’d have what he needed for his war.
The ground shook and a ring in the center of the temple began to glow.
Dark Redden in the inner sanctum, a voice came violently from the glow. Dispense the vile darkness into the ring, purge this place and make it clean or all will perish.
All exits are blocked off, as is the access to the apartments. Still the space is abundant and there is plenty of room for each to find their own area for sleeping, and for trembling.
THE ROLES
Evil
Legion: The man in charge of the baddies. He has the final say on the night’s victim. He also may chose to convert one priest rather than kill a priest, looking for a relic.
- If he chooses a protected priest, the conversion is unsuccessful, power is retained.
- If the bearer of the Staff of the Wise, protects an evil player that priest will become the night’s target and will die. (any other kill or recruit order fails)
- If the bearer of the Staff of the Wise protects an evil member the same night he is targeted for conversion, the conversion will be successful.
- If Judas is targeted for conversion, none will take place and Legion retains his conversion power. (The evil players will not know why the conversion failed)
Balaam: Legion’s trusted advisor and soothsayer. Each night Balaam may chose to scan 1 priest to see which relic he posses, if any. He will be told which relic that priest possesses and if it’s one I’ve been vague on, he’ll be told that the relic does. If Balaam is alive the role of the Night Kill is revealed.
Judas: Sorcerer Role. Judas scans Good. Judas wins with evil. Judas has another ability. Judas is unknown to the other evil players and they are unknown to him.
Cretan: When Legion converts a divine priest he becomes the Cretan. He has a single use ability which will be revealed to him when he’s converted. (And he can tell his new friends about it)
Good
Relics: (Relic possessors will get a more detailed description of their relic)
Courier’s Scepter: This relic is more of a container for the true power. It contains a parchment which will allow a priest to communicate at night.
Bracers of Endor: These bracers allow the wearer to commune with the dead at night. The power is weak and the wearer will only be able to determine which (if any) relic the deceased possessed.
Ring of Gad – Each night the wearer of the ring will be able to focus on one player. It will be revealed to them the role of the player. Judas will scan as a simple priest.
Sword of Ehud – Oddly enough this is just a hilt. Still the possessor can use this one time to attempt to slay someone, hopefully evil this time. The bearer of the sword is protected on the first night. This protection is divine and in addition to whomever the staff of wisdom holder protects.
Staff of the Wise –For wisdom is protection just as money is protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
Each night the bearer may chose one person to bless with protection. If a kill order is ordered on that receiver, he will not be killed that night and no kill will occur on that night. If the user is unwise and protects an evil team member, they will sense its use and devour the bearer.
Writ of Twofold: ???

Formatting Edits are Okay. Please don't edit content out side of spelling or fixing an incomplete post etc... No flashing messages to whomever might be on at the time only to edit it later.
PM's. Legion, Balaam & Cretan may all PM each other at any time, or make use of a forum I will setup. Judas does not get to participate in these communications.
Other's who are allowed to PM will receive instructions. If you do not receive instructions, don't PM.
Each Day players should indicate their votes by bolding the names. If you don't want to vote for someone, but want their name to stand out, please use color or size or or . Bold is for votes only. There are a couple voting trigger situations where I'll notify of the new circumstances and who/what is allowed with regard to voting. These will be listed on a Spoiler forum and are static, not up to my whims or any such thing. Other than that, Majority Rules. (I'll post the number of votes needed each day)
In a nut shell this is a typical WW game. There are a few powers, which are unannounced and some mild triggers in the voting which may help speed up certain situations. I'm not suggesting you over-think your voting as there is a solid chance that nothing will trigger - they are very situational.
