Summary:

“You know an alive player: if 1 is executed, they learn you're in play. If 2 are, your team wins.”

The Crawler punishes the town for executing the wrong people.

• The first time that a player that the Crawler knows is executed, their targets learn that the Crawler is in play. The second time, the Crawler’s team wins.
• If the player the Crawler knows dies, they learn a new alive player.
• If 1 of the Crawler’s targets have been executed, all future targets learn that they are in play.
• They only learn that the Crawler is in play, not who it is.
• Only the currently known player is susceptible to the Crawler’s ability. Previously learned players don’t count.
• The known player does not have to die by execution for the Crawler to use their ability.
• It doesn’t matter who nominates known players. If they are executed, it counts.

How to Run:

On the Crawler’s 1st night, wake them and point to an alive player - mark them with the KNOWN reminder.

If a player marked with the KNOWN reminder is executed, mark them with the EXECUTED reminder.

Each night except the first, if the player marked KNOWN has died, wake the Crawler and point to an alive player - mark them with the KNOWN reminder. If a player is marked EXECUTED, wake the KNOWN player and show them the Crawler’s character token.

If a known player is executed, and the EXECUTED reminder is already placed, declare that the game is over and that the Crawler’s team has won.
