Running. Running- she had to keep running. Nowhere was safe, nowhere would be safe, and so all she could do was run. They would be in Pierre’s. They would be at the movie theater. They would be in the community center. No; nowhere was safe- not the quarry, not the desert caves, maybe not even the Wizard’s Tower.

But there was a boat. If she could just get to Willie’s boat. It would take a lot- perhaps more than she had to give. 500 stones, 2 crabs, a bottle of syrup- whatever the cost, she would have to pay it. There was no thought of loss. Only escape.

The pixel corn was head-height and ready to be harvested, but there was no time. And so she ran through the corn that she had once planted in better days and hoped someone would survive to harvest it. At least the children, she thought. Surely they wouldn’t take the children.

But oh, it was so very different in the dark. Was she supposed to turn right or left to go to the boat? Directions had always been a confusing mess in the Valley, the darkness swallowing you whole and spitting you out-most of the time- where you wanted to go. She could not remember. She paused, and in that moment she was lost.

For they certainly would take the children, but why bother when she was right there? An innocent farmer, to be sure, but one who stood in their way. There was discussion- there always was discussion, as if there could be degrees of evil or strategies that cancelled out the death, the destruction, the chaos and carnage. They slipped easily through the corn, a silent pack, and she was surrounded before she knew it. Her cries were swallowed by the corn.

Eleanor awoke with a strange bump on her head, blinking in the bright lights. She thought she’d had permadeath turned off. Was this new game plus? When had Stardew even gotten new game plus. A hand helped her up, another patted her back, a third dusted her off. Kind smiles, kind, sorrowful eyes.

A figure cut through the crowd.

“I told you I was town!”

The group rolled their eyes and shushed her. “Ignore her,” Jake advised. “She thinks she’s being funny.”

“Where am I?” Eleanor asked in confusion. “Did we win?”

“Not yet,” Jake replied. “But we still might.”

(They probably wouldn’t, Lindsay thought)

Eleanor has died. She was Vanilla Town.

WHO HAS THE FALCON?
The Maltese Falcon is still in play, but it has changed! It now grants only a TRACK (2-shot). It can be passed around during the day. Whoever has it at night may use the action and then must hand it off the next day.

7 5 Wolves

• Backup – Inherits the role of the first roled wolf to die.

1 0 Independent

10 2 Roled Town

• Asshole – Each night you can hide behind a player. If someone tries to kill you, the person you’re hiding behind will die instead; if someone tries to kill the person you hide behind, both of you die.
• JOAT (Role Investigator / Vig / Watcher) – 1x Role Investigator (see someone’s role name but not alignment), 1x Vigilante (night 2+), 1x Watcher (see who visits the targeted player, but not what they did). Can be used in any order.
• JOAT (Role Investigator / Roleblocker / Tracker) – 1x Role Investigator, 1x Roleblocker, 1x Tracker (see who the targeted player visits, but not what they did). Can be used in any order.
• Friendly Neighbor – Each night (starting Night 0), you can choose a player who will be told that you are Town.
• Mailman – Can send someone a message each night.
• Doctor – Each night you can protect someone from being killed.
• Neapolitan – Each night you can choose a player, and you’ll be told whether or not they’re Vanilla (but not their alignment).
• 1x Trapper – Each night you can set a trap on a player; if someone visits them, the visitor gets killed (it doesn’t block whatever action they may have been performing though). If nobody steps in the trap it’s not spent.

12 4 VT
