Nighttime

The game begins during the night, and everyone closes their eyes. The moderator says: “Rumplestilstskin Awakens” At this point,  Team Rumplestiltskin open their eyes and look around to see who their fellow imps are. The moderator says: “Team Rumplestiltskin, who do you want to kill?” Now Team Rumplestiltskin silently work together to determine who to kill. They can use hand gestures, mouth words, and point to make their choice, but they should make it quickly and silently. The moderator says: “Team Rumplestiltskin, close your eyes… Fairy Godmother, open your eyes.” The Fairy Godmother opens her eyes, and the moderator says: “Fairy Godmother, who do you want to protect?” The Fairy Godmother points to any player (including herself) that she wants to protect. The Moderator says: “Fairy Godmother, close your eyes… Sherif of Nottingham, open your eyes.” The Sherif opens his eyes, and the moderator says: “Sherif, who do you want to investigate?” The Sherif points to a player that he wants to investigate. If that player is on Team Rumplestiltskin, the moderator will nod his head “yes.” If that player isn’t an imp the moderator will nod his head “no.” Then the moderator says: “Sherif, close your eyes… everyone, open your eyes.” Now the moderator will tell everyone what happened overnight: “During the night, Team Rumplestiltskin gruesomely slit the throat of ______ (feel free to embellish these details).” <p style="font-family:'LucidaGrande',Arial,'LucidaSansUnicode',sans-serif;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1.5em;outline:0px;color:rgb(102,102,102);line-height:19px;">In the rare case that the Fairy Godmother saved the player that Team Rumplestiltskin killed, the moderator adds: <p style="font-family:inherit;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1.5em;outline:0px;">“…but the Fairy Godmother saved him, and nobody died!”
