Armed

Bernard and Baron, both armed with flintlock rifles

### How to Gain

Pick up gun from Gun panel with resentment, be gifted a gun from Professor after monster sighting

**Armed** is a status in Storyteller.

*Note: This status currently goes unnamed, and this name is completely conjectural*

## Appearance

Actors who are armed do not physically change in appearance, but rather start holding a late modern period flintlock pistol.

## Behavior

#### Perks of being Armed

Armed actors are able to shoot and kill people they have motive against.

Armed actors will hide their gun behind their back when in the same room as Detective, preventing Detective from accusing the armed actor. This also applies to an Armed Duke meeting Duchess in Loose End.

Seeing a monster while armed in the Ballroom will cause the actor with the gun to explain why they are currently holding it. Any character talking to the armed actor will now know that they have a gun.

Being Armed with the pistol leaves the actor's fingerprints on it. If Detective inspects the gun while it is on its stand, he will know the last person who touched the gun.

Other actors who the Armed actor has no motive against nor any reason to hide will simply look scared as the Armed actor points their gun in their general direction.

#### Becoming/Losing Armed

Actors can become Armed by both being placed in the Gun scene while the pistol is still on its stand and having resentment towards an actor. Actors will always attempt to kill Devil or Devil possessing the Ballroom painting.

The Professor can also arm an actor in Professor (level), which occurs if an actor comes to him after having seen a monster or he sees a monster himself. Either way, he will immediately arm either Baron or Bernard.

Actors may be Disarmed if they are arrested by Detective, are changed into a monster, or voluntarily put the gun back on its stand after picking it up. The latter can be achieved by putting the Armed actor back on the Gun scene again.

## Actors who can become Armed:

Butler will always arm/disarm himself if given the opportunity with killing Duke and Duchess as his motive, unless he was previously tricked with Devil's fake gun.

Actors who require more motive before becoming Armed:

* Duke
* Duchess
* Friedrich
* Bernard
* Baron

## False Armed

**False Armed** is a status in Storyteller.

## False Armed

Butler, False Armed, attempting to shoot Duchess, while she's speaking about Devil

### Uses

Making people mad at the shooter without killing them directly

### How to Gain

Have Devil replace the gun in Gun panel then have resentful characters pick it up; does not work with Duke

*Note: This status currently goes unnamed, and this name is completely conjectural*

Currently, the only way to access this status is through use of Devil. When Devil is placed on the Gun panel while the pistol is still on its stand, he will switch out the pistol with a fake gun. This fake gun is incapable of killing anyone, instead popping out a small flag with an explosion on it.

Before firing, False Armed actors act exactly the same as Armed actors.

If Duke or Duchess is the victim of being "shot," they will realize what the Butler was attempting to do, angering them and giving them motive to kill him.

Butler and Duchess can both become False Armed. Both can become False Armed in the same way they become Armed, with the added Devil step beforehand.

Duke will realize that the fake gun is not his own and will instead react shocked. This has no effect on any actor's lore.

Placing the Devil on the empty Gun pedestal after the fake gun is used will cause him to place the real gun back in place.
