It started with a ring, the one ring to rule them all. Both sides wanted it, but only one would become the master of it. As the Fellowship of fifteen
headed away from Rivendell, they noticed that 5 of their number had disappeared. “Where had they gone?” they all wondered. Four minutes later, the
final six members jogged over to where everyone else was waiting, and they headed on their way.
Back in Rivendell
The elf; Glorfindel, was fishing in a large pond on the outskirts of Rivendell. He liked the quietness and solitude of this pond, and came here every
day to fish. Suddenly his line jerked, “Oh! I’ve got a big one!” cried the excited Glorfindel. Heaving backwards on the pole he heaved a large object out of
the pond, and onto the grassy bank beside him. Looking over at his catch, he noticed something strange. Where fish normally round and hairy? Nervously
poking it with his fishing pole, he began to back away. One poke from the pole rolled the hairy object over, revealing what it was. Glorfindel let out an ear-
piercing shriek, and fled as fast as he could from the pond towards Rivendell. The object that had scared the elf so badly, was the severed head of one of
the original Fellowship. As the sun sank into the horizon, the light that had glazed the pond over when Glorfindel was fishing faded. The now-clear pond
finally revealed its content, the bodies of the 5 missing (but now replaced) members of the Fellowship of the Ring.
The Fellowship, turning back to take one last look at Rivendell, saw Glorfindel sprinting towards them; all the while crying “We’ve been tricked!
We’ve been tricked! Five of the fellowship are not who they say they are! You must stop them!” Before he could continue, there was a hissing sound, and
the fifteen members watched helplessly as the elf crumpled lifelessly to the ground, an arrow piercing his neck. Later, as night fell, everyone was
preparing to sleep. They were still uneasy after what Glorfindel had warned them about. No one would sleep easy that night….
The Fellowship:
Not BTSC other than Frodo and Sam (or Merry and Pippin by their BTSC condition) Wins by killing all baddies, the Balrog, and Gollum if he has killed Frodo.
Frodo: Can follow a player to find out their action for that night.
Frodo cannot be killed unless Sam is dead (Has BTSC with Sam)
Sam: Can prevent a player from acting for one night. (Cannot target the same player two times in a row)
(Has BTSC with Frodo)
Aragorn: Can save a player every other night.
Gimli: Can beat a player into unconsciousness for insulting his short stature, so they cannot vote in the lynch vote for one day.
Legolas: Can use his elf eyes to see a player’s role once every turn.
Merry: Can invite a player to go partying somewhere every other turn, that player cannot be targeted that night, but cannot act that night either. (Player may accept or decline) If Merry is targeted by a mafiaso and he is partying with someone, both the players are affected by the mafiaso’s ability. If Merry invites Pippin to go partying, they find out each other’s roles and get BTSC. (cannot target same person twice in a row.)
Pippin: Can invite a player to go partying somewhere every other night, that player cannot be targeted that night, but cannot act that night either.

Gandalf the Grey: Can mistake one player each night for the Balrog and tell them they “SHALL NOT PASS!” (Cannot act for that night). If Gandalf targets the Balrog, or the Balrog targets Gandalf, they will both die, after a certain period of time (only I know) he will come back as Gandalf the White with a new secret power. Gandalf dies normally if he is targeted by an attacker other than the Balrog. (cannot target same person twice in a row)
Arwen: Can save a player every night, but not the same player twice in a row.
Undecided:
Boromir: May choose at the beginning of the game whether he/she is going to be Goodie or Baddie. Once decided, he may kill a player every night.
