Summary:

“Each night, choose 2 sets of 2 players: tomorrow, sets are executed together. If most players are dead or none died today, evil wins.”

The Axt makes executions more lethal.

• The Axt chooses 2 sets of 2 players each night. The next day, if a player in a set is executed, the other player chosen with them is executed too.
• If a chosen player is executed, the other player is executed immediately after.
• A player cannot be in 2 sets at once.
• If there are more dead players than living players, evil wins. Travellers do count.
• When night falls, if nobody died today, evil wins.
• If an alive Traveller has to leave the game, and this causes the dead to outnumber the living, do not end the game until dusk.

How to Run:

Each night, wake the Axt. The Axt points at two players – mark them with A reminders – then they point at two more players – mark them with B reminders.

Tomorrow, if a player marked A is executed by any means, the other player marked A is executed immediately too. If a player marked B is executed by any means, the other player marked B is executed immediately too.

Each dusk, if no player died today, the game ends and the evil team wins. If a player did die (and the game has continued) remove all reminders.

When the number of dead players exceeds the number of alive players, declare that the game is over and the evil team wins.

<aside> 📌

Some characters make a player survive execution. If this happens, you may rule that another player dies instead.
