Overview

The Escort is one of the more powerful Town roles, with the potential to disrupt the Mafia, deduce killing roles or simply prevent a Mafia or Neutral role from ever achieving anything at night. The role has the ability to role-block a target at night, preventing them from using their night ability.

Strategies

• It can be a good idea to block the most suspicious players. But be wary of blocking Doctors, Investigators, Sheriffs or Serial Killers (when "Kills roleblockers" option is ON)

• If a player is blocked one night and fewer than normal players died it could mean that that player is a killing role, asking to see if anyone got healed by a Doctor or simply blocking them a second night could reveal this to be true. When certain announce this fact to the Town, by doing this the Escort can act as a Pseudo-Investigator.
  • An Escort should not announce that they will block the same person again at night. If the Escort was wrong originally, the Mafia may choose to not attack anyone.

• If Serial Killers have the ability to kill role-blockers at night then writing the name of the target in a last will may help to point out who the Serial Killer is. Use the last will by typing -last will or -lw into the chat and fill information into the prompt-box.
  • Having an easily readable and understandable format can be very important. For example:
    • N1: #14, N2: #14, N3: #12,
    • N1: #14 (no Maf kill), N2: #14, N3: #12 (no SK kill),

Options

• Cannot be Role-blocked - (Default = Off)

Notes

• Does not block roles immune to role-blocking at night. A message saying the target was immune to role-blocks will be shown.
  • Godfather, Consort and Escort may be immune to role-blocks depending on the setup.
  • Veterans and Amnesiacs are always immune to role-blocks.

• Blocking a Jailor will prevent them from executing their target.

• Will be killed by a Serial Killer if attempting to block them (when killing role-blockers at night is enabled), however it will still prevent them from killing their target.

• This role was once named "Stripper", but Blizzard found the language inappropriate so the role had to be renamed.
