[Mafia] Witch Trip

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Oh, for… I don't even believe in witches! This has to be a hallucination. But I guess I should act as if it isn't on the off chance it's real.

Taira's Plan

1. You all got a mob of angry townspeople after you. Try to evade them, or if you're feeling particularly bold, try to reason with them.

What makes you think I'm a witch, huh? Have you seen me do anything witch-like? Hey, Pastor over there! Isn't false accusation a sin? And isn't the official position of the, ah, Church of England, that witches don't exist? Is there any mention of witches in the Bible?

2. After your experiences with the mob, you all find yourselves about to be executed among the townspeople looking to seek so-called justice. Can you escape before you get a noose around your neck?

Taira is going to stall for time until the crowd gets distracted, then head to the river and build herself a rudimentary snorkel out of bark, tall grass stems, and clay. She'll escape the mob down the river and out of sight.

3. After this, you all find yourselves in a dark, cavern-like place. In the walls you see souls breaking through and they all attack you. A few of them you recognize, including Crow, Susan, Quinarva, CATS, among many others. All of them who fell victim to the Witch these past 300 years. Fight them off.

Ghosts don't exist, Taira. Ghosts don't exist. She closes her eyes.

...But if you were ghosts, and this witch really existed, you should be after her, not me. I didn't control you! I didn't put you in this situation! I'm just trying to get everybody out safely! Go after *her*!

If that doesn't work… she's gone off the deep end, hasn't she… she hears salt and iron are supposed to work against ghosts. If they existed. It's just TV and stuff, right? But blood has salt and iron, lots of it actually. She'll prick her thumb and, if she needs to, smear the ghosts with blood. If they existed. Because clearly this is all just a horrible hallucination.

1. The Preacher among the ones chasing you have decided to show you mercy and give you a chance to prove you're not a witch. You two engage in a Bible debate. And why, yes, there are verses that speak against witchcraft, but you do also point out that there are those that speak against bearing false witness. And while they do not come from the sect that follows the Church of England's teachings, you do nevertheless convince them that you are no witch. They apologize and they go on their way. (Rolled 8 and 1+ for logic for 9)

2. If this were actually real time, you probably don't have to worry about being put in this situation. But alas, it is not. Another mob gets you. And unlike the first one, they won't listen to you whatsoever and they easily overpower you. You get the noose and down you go. And you don't get a quick death either. It's one of those where you dangle and writhe in pain. All from feeling your organs slowly shutting down, the huge neck strain, even feeling the blood bubbling in your eyes. Eventually, you die from it, in quite the excruciating manner. Just be glad death isn't permanent in this case. (Rolled 1)

3. Denying the ghosts exist doesn't work. They swarm you and attack you. But luckily, you do remember the blood trick you see on TV and figure you'd give it a shot. You prick your finger and sprinkle it on the ghosts, like if you were a priest throwing holy water. The ghosts are phased by your blood and they retreat. (Rolled 6 and 1+ for logic for 7)
