The Shadow Assassin
Introduction
This game is similar to the “Keyholder” and “Are You The Traitor?” game as well as the game “Mafia”.
The Plot
A noble found out that he or she will be assassinated. Fearing for his or her life, the noble hired different bodyguards to protect him or her until the noble reached his or her home across the Forest of Darkness. However, as the group of bodyguards were escorting the noble, they realize that there was one extra person in the party. There were two nobles instead of one! The two nobles looked alike from appearance to behaviors…it was near impossible to tell them apart. However, the bodyguards weren’t worried about this. What they were worrying about the most was how the doppelganger appeared in the first place? There was an enemy hiding in their midst!
Now, in their world, the only way for a doppelganger to appear was through the skill of the Shadow Assassins – one of the most cunning assassins in the lands. Their MO was usually killing off the target and replacing it with a doppelganger. However, for some reason, the Shadow Assassin didn’t manage to kill the noble before being discovered. In the assassin’s haste, the skill was cast prematurely. Now, even the Shadow Assassin has some trouble distinguishing between the two. Since the assassination attempt failed on the first try, with everyone on high alert, there’s no way the Shadow Assassin could get close to the noble to attack a second time.
Doppelgangers couldn’t be killed unless the Shadow Assassin was dead. However, one of the bodyguards was an Artifact User with Shadow Immunity and carried with him or her a one-time-use artifact that would bind the doppelganger and capture it, however if used on the real noble – a living being, it could be fatal. The Artifact User could not reveal himself or herself easily as the Shadow Assassin was still lurking within their group. What will the bodyguards do? How will they find the assassin and the doppelganger?
