"Chapter 4: Rabbit Stew"

After the public hanging, most people were pretty upset. Jamie had been telling the truth this whole time!

One person wasn't the least bit upset, though, and even walked home with a little skip in their step. A whistle began to escape their lips after a bit. This person didn't have a care in the world. In fact, they had something to look forward to... There would be a delicious rabbit stew for dinner tonight! Just thinking about it made them salivate.


"EWWWW rabbit stew, Grandpa?"

"Yes, yes. Back in those days people had to make due with whatever they could find to eat. They didn't have McDonald's back then. Can we continue?"

"Okay, keep going."

"As I was saying..."


The woman arrived home to a cozy little hut and put a large pot filled with water on the fire. Then she went out back to the rabbit cage, rubbing her hands together in anticipation as she went. She stopped short as she saw the rabbit cage. The door to the cage was wide open and the rabbit was gone!

"What? Who would steal a person's dinner? Barbarians, of course, that's who!" the woman cried out dejectedly. After choking back a tear, she thought for a few seconds, then grabbed a large net and went to search the woods.

It wasn't long before she spotted it. The plump rabbit was in the middle of a small clearing, directly under some tree branches, eating... what in the world was it eating? As she crept closer she could just begin to make it out... carrots!

'Carrots? Just laying on the ground like that?' she thought. 'Oh well, no matter. I'm just lucky I found him so quickly. And, now I have carrots to throw into the stew to boot! I guess this is my lucky day, after all!' she told herself.

She slowly crept toward the rabbit and quietly raised the net, ready to reclaim her dinner! Just as she was about to swoop down with the net, she was suddenly yanked up into the air! Her body bounced around crazily until gradually settling into a swing, then finally into a slow sway. Once she gained her perspective, she realized her foot had been caught in a snare and she was hanging upside down by one leg. Cursing to herself, she tried to get free but it was no use. She started yelling for help. Surely someone would hear her!

After a few minutes, she heard footsteps behind her. She sighed with relief.

"Oh hello! Can you help me? I got caught in some... animal trap. I'm stuck!"

No answer.

"HELLO?!? Hey, are you there? I just need a little help to -"

It was then that the person slowly moved into view, in front of the unlucky woman. Her gaze started at the footwear, then traveled upward and rested on a face. The woman's eyes suddenly grew large with recognition.

"Oh, hello. Can you please help me down?"

"Of course I can. Let me just... figure out how to... let's see. I need something to cut you down."

"I have a knife back at the hut," the woman offered.

"Oh wait, look. I have a knife right here." Withdrawing a shiny dagger from their pocket, the person held it in front of the dangling woman's face.

"Okay, great. Go ahead and just cut the rope. Give me some warning, though. I don't want to fall on my head!"

"Will do."

She sighed in anticipation. She couldn't wait to get out of this trap. When she heard the signal, she braced herself and covered her head.

"Ready, set, GO!"

The knife plunged into the woman's chest, then into her stomach, then somewhere else on her torso, then into her hand as she tried to defend herself. She couldn't get away, though, and she was stabbed over and over. She screeched out loudly even as the blood drained from her weakening body:

"You said you would help...

LIAR! LIAAAAAARRRRRRR!"

Those were the last words she uttered before she finally died.

The killer dropped the bloody knife, then turned and walked away.

After a few seconds, the rabbit hopped after them.

"So, that was one of the good guys, Grandpa?"

"Yes, yes."

"Why have no bad guys been killed yet?"

"That is a very good question."

I normally, just skim the write up, but read that one. Pretty graphic.

Farlig sat dreaming about 🍿, imagining he was with friends, playing his favorite game. He hadn't eaten in days and the iron bracelets connecting his hands and feet to the cell walls were starting to chafe.

He had endured so much, but all he had to do was be patient right? He knew if he did, he would get out of this hellhole.

He --

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the rusty cell door rattling and the lock clinking. Someone was unlocking his cell. Was he finally getting some food? He would eat anything by now.

His captor entered his cell. No food tray. Farlig's tummy growled at this sad realization.

"Hey, can I please get some - "

But the words were cut off as his captor lifted him up by the neck. He gasped for breath, his weak legs flailed, he tried to kick his assailant but it did no good.

Finally, Farlig gave in. He stopped resisting, and soon it was over.


Farlig has died.

TOWN Character: Princess Buttercup Role: Prisoner Player: Farlig "You mock my pain!" You have been captured! You are now at the mercy of your captors who can choose to kill you at any time. While you are their prisoner, you cannot be targeted by any actions other than your captors' kill. All other actions attempted upon you while you are a prisoner will fail. (Your captors know your character but do not know your player identity.) While you are imprisoned against your will, you think of your true love and his last words to you: "Hear this now. I will always come for you." This gives you hope... you know your Westley is searching for you and you are certain he will find you and free you from this hell! (Your captors will not be told anyone is searching for you.) Win condition: You win when there are no remaining threats to town. [Hidden from the player: While you remain in the custody of the mafia (until you are rescued by Westley or you die), you will count toward the mafia's numbers. If Westley dies (is killed or lynched) prior to you being rescued, you will be so heartbroken you will commit suicide. If Westley dies after you are rescued, you will not commit suicide. Your captors may kill you at anytime, night or day, while you are in their custody - but not until Night 1.]

Is it against the rules if Farlig still lets me know what game I’ve been in with a jailer? Seems like he has a bit more free time now to research.

Yes, you're not allowed to talk to him anymore, ever.










JK but keep it not about this game lol
