### Series

No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower

**Poppygrown** is an episode of No Rolls Barred Plays Blood On The Clocktower.

"*As you lay your head down to rest, a wolf howls in the darkness, howling at the moon which turns in the night sky. A circle, an unbroken link between now and when it all began. It's comforting that after all these years, all the changes — new arrivals, absent friends — that Ravenswood Bluff has always slumbered under the same moon. Another howl... closer this time. It's probably fine. Goodnight.*"
―Adam

### Demon Bluffs

* Pixie - *You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk. If you were mad that you were this character, you gain their ability when they die.*
* Choirboy - *If the Demon kills the King, you learn which player is the Demon. [+the King]*

### Additional information

There is a Fabled character in play, the Sentinel: *There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play.*

As the Snitch is in play, the minions are given bluffs:

* Acrobat - *Each night\*, if either good living neighbour is drunk or poisoned, you die.*
* Noble - *You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil.*
* Cult Leader - *Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbour. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins.*
* Golem - *You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die.*
* Cannibal - *You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution.*
* Magician - *The Demon thinks you are a Minion. Minions think you are a Demon.*

Sullivan's Mezepheles word is 'boyfriend'.

\*Not first night

## Notable moments

* Adam: "I'm back as storyteller, bitches!"
* Holly reveals that she once narrated a video on how to win at rock, paper scissors and the general advice is to start with paper, as most people start with rock. Adam suggests this will make it easier for her, she fears it will actually just make her losing more embarrassing.
* There's a hugely significant and unlikely meeting, which changes the whole progress of the game.
* Brooke to Sullivan: "Yum yum! Lies for dinner - what are you?" "Because it's Adam, he would make you a bad boy. Because he wants to be a bad boy with you. He wants to be your bad boy boyfriend and I won't allow it."
* Ben: "No executions today. All cowards go to sleep."
* Dom: "If anyone's killing Sullivan round here, it's me."
* Holly does our traditional 'alone in the village' singing, and it's absolutely beautiful. 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley, for the record. Gorgeous.
* Adam P: "Dom if you win this, I'll take back 2/3 of the shit I said about you."
* Adam: "Oh my god, this is a mess. A sheer, joyful mess."
* Ben: "We're running out of folks that do stuff."
* Dom goes for a bit of Shakespearean revenge, he's available for bookings.
* The progress of this game would have been so very different with just one or two conversations between key players, The storytellers decide that they need to correct a rules misunderstanding but town went for a dramatic gesture anyway, which gave us our end result.
* Laurie: "Kill me Holly you coward! Put me out of my fucking misery! What kind of psychopath are you?" "This is just fucking cruel... *As if there couldn't be a greater indignity in this game! as if my fucking win record so far hasn't already been fucking bad enough, I have to sit here and listen to you fucking blather on about hwo you're going to win the perfect game! Fuck this! Fuck this*!"
* Sullivan didn't get Brooke, but he got a Brooke of sorts - because Blair and Brooke are sisters.
