Start of Day 1 Flavor
After a long journey, you have finally made it to the Castle Raventhorpe, alongside a couple of dozen of other guests. Strangely, despite the castle's gates being open, there is no sign of any servants or Lord Curst's men being present...
As you all gather in the great hall, the atmosphere becomes tense. At long last, a dark figure appears at the balcony.
“Greetings, my dear guests. I am Archibald Curst, the master of this castle. I greatly appreciate that you were able to attend this event.”
“The reason I had you gathered here is simple – you are going to play a game I’ve designed. Several of my allies, the people I trust, are hidden among you. They are going to, well, slowly and methodically start killing the rest of you one by one. Should they succeed in killing all of you, they win. Of course, they are not the only ones allowed to use violence. If you manage to figure out their identities and kill all of them first, then victory will be yours, and I’ll personally will admit defeat.”
“Oh, and until this game has concluded, you can’t escape the castle. Just about now, the magical barrier around this place should be coming into effect. It’s a fairly powerful one, so it won’t be dispelled by any normal means. The only way it’s lifted is when the game reaches its conclusion.”
"This about sums it up. As I said, simple. The game starts now. Good luck!"
With these words, the figure of Lord Curst vanishes in a cloud of black smoke. You take a few moments to fully grasp the implications of your new situation.
The twisted tale is about to begin.
Hey y’all, glad to be playing my first mafia game in like… two in a half years? See some familiar faces and some new.
