Add a new sub-rule “Master of Hounds” to the rule titled “Occupations” with the text:
The Master of Hounds (if living) may secretly inform the mayor of the status of the hounds. The hounds may either be “penned†or “releasedâ€. The hounds are “penned†unless otherwise specified. Whenever a villager is killed by being targeted by werewolves, if the hounds are released they begin to howl, alerting the village to the crime. When this occurs, the Mayor shall secretly reveal to each living villager the name of one villager who was out on the streets (per the Night Watchman rule). The named villager shall be selected at random from the list by a means of the Mayor’s choosing, and this random selection shall occur once for each living villager (so each living villager learns of one name on the list, but each has a chance of learning of a different name). The Master of Hounds learns of three names on the list (instead of one).
When the hounds are penned, the Master of Hounds may pen them outside the house of a living villager of their choice (themselves unless otherwise specified). The name of the villager whose house the hounds are penned outside of should be sent to the Mayor privately. If a villager who has hounds penned outside his house is targeted by a werewolf (or if they are a werewolf and they target another player) the hounds begin to howl, alerting the village and preventing that targeting. The Mayor shall then make a story post which identifies the name of the villager who has the hounds penned outside their house.
Oracular rufio:
Hm.
I like that the hounds will alert the village if the villager whose house they are penned by is a werewolf and makes an attack, but I think you meant it to be if the werewolf would otherwise have succeeded in killing someone, not just if they were just targeting them (and didn’t kill them because they were the only werewolf targeting that person).
But I do like the idea in general - if the hounds outside a particular villager’s house howl, he was either attacked by werewolves, or he was a werewolf attempting to attack someone, but no one else knows which.
