Summary

"Each night, you learn how many steps to the nearest living player targeted by an evil ability."

The Dogkeeper tracks down which players have been targeted by Minions and Demons.

• The Dogkeeper only detects players targeted by an evil character, regardless of which character was chosen (by pointing).
• The Dogkeeper detects players even if they are unaffected by the ability. Such as a player being safe from the Demon.
• The Dogkeeper does not know about evil Townsfolk or Outsiders.
• The Dogkeeper does know about good Minions and Demons.
• If the Dogkeeper must be shown false information, they can be shown any answer except the correct number.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Dogkeeper. Show them fingers (0, 1, 2 etc.) equaling the distance in players from the Dogkeeper to the nearest player targeted by a Minion or Demon.

Examples

The Dogkeeper is targeted by the Bezzerit; the Dogkeeper learns a '0'.

The Dogkeeper's neighbor is targeted by the Fearmonger; the Dogkeeper learns a '1'.

Because the Hypnotist has lost their ability, no player is target by an evil character at night. The Storyteller shakes their head "No" at the Dogkeeper.
