Bride's Mother

How to Run

During setup, add either the Groom or the Bride to the game.

If the Groom is added, resolve the Groom's own [+Bride] setup modification as normal.

On the first night, wake the Bride's Mother and point to either the Groom player or the Bride player - the Storyteller chooses which. Mark that player as KNOWN.

Whenever the Groom or Bride dies, mark the appropriate reminder.

At the Bride's Mother's night-order position, if either has died since the previous dawn, wake the Bride's Mother and indicate which one died.

Examples

During setup, the Storyteller chooses to add the Bride. No further setup modification is required.

The Storyteller instead adds the Groom. Since the Groom has [+Bride], the Bride is also added.

The Groom is executed during the day. That night, the Bride's Mother is woken and shown that the Groom died.

The Bride dies to the Plague during the night. Later that same night, the Bride's Mother learns that the Bride died.

The Bride character moves to another player before dying. The Bride's Mother learns that the Bride died, regardless of which player currently holds that character.

Rules & Clarifications

• [+Groom or Bride] means the Storyteller chooses which of the two characters to add.
• If the Groom is added, his own [+Bride] setup effect also applies.
• The start-knowing information points at a player (marked KNOWN); the Storyteller chooses whether it is the Groom or the Bride, and the Bride's Mother is told which of the two they are seeing.
• The Bride's Mother learns which character died, not which player.
• The ability cares about the current Groom and Bride characters, even if those characters have moved since setup.
• The Bride's Mother receives no information merely because the Groom or Bride changes character.
• If neither dies, the Bride's Mother is not woken.
• If the Bride's Mother is drunk or poisoned when the information is given, it may be false.
