This used to be a quiet town. Small, out of the way, and nothing bad ever really seemed to happen here. Oh, sure, there were the small things. People have accidents, bad weather damaging the crops, stuff like that. But nothing really bad, like murderer. Not until last week, anyway.
Last week a strange fellow was found wandering on the side of the road. He seemed lost, confused, and pretty much out of it. So the kind person who found him took him to the local clinic. They checked him over, figured he was just drunk or on some sort of drugs, and gave him a room for the night.
The next morning, the local Sheriff came to the clinic to check on this strange person. He'd wanted to see if the man was any better, sober enough to answer questions, at least. Instead, he found a bloodbath. The doctors, nurses, and other patients had all been brutally slain. Many of them looked to have been gnawed on by some sort of animal. As he looked around, the Sheriff caught sight of the strange man, hunched over the body of a nurse and chewing on her arm. Horrified, the Sheriff pulled out his gun and shot the man, emptying the clip into him.
What happened then frightened him even more. The man fell backwards, spasming. As he died, his body changed. His skin grew pale white, and slightly blotchy. His face lost all features, even eyes, except for a large mouth full of sharp teeth. His hand elongated, and his nails grew into hideous claws. This was no man, it was some sort of shape-changing monster!
As word spread of what happened, people began to panic. Many left the town. Others vanished in the night, the Sherriff among them. Search parties were sent out to find the missing people. They were never found. However, what was found was disturbing indeed. Underneath the main bridge were five strange greenish-white pods. Man-sized, ripped open, and empty. Five pods...five of these monsters? With one dead, that means there are four more around. Four more doppelgangers, who could be anyone. Many more people fled the area that day.
That night, that bridge and the other two smaller bridges were destroyed by large explosions. Those of you here are all that are left of the town, and there is no escape. It is kill or be killed.
You all agreed to meet in the town hall each day, attempt to figure out who is one of these body-snatchers, and kill them. It is your only hope of survival.
Day one is up and PMs are going out now. Let the paranoia commence!
Reminder: You may freely PM the other players during both the Day and Night phases. However, I must be copied on all PMs. Also, PMs from me may not be quoted. This is done to maintain the level of uncertainty in the game. (except for rules clarifications, of course).
