Before night two, one Townsfolk is poisoned.
On night two, that Townsfolk stops being poisoned, and the Demon gets to see the Grimoire.

If a Corporealis has already exchanged two players roles this game, any other Corporealis may not, even if they haven't already.
As an optional rule, you can also allow the Corporealis to use their swap at night when they wake to kill as to hide their identity better.
Examples
The Corporealis chooses a player at night. That player dies.
The Corporealis asks to swap their role with that of the Spy, however, nominations have begun, so nothing happens.
During the day but before nominations, the Corporealis asks the Storyteller to swap their role with the role of the Baron. They immediately exchange roles, and are told this tonight.

Each night, the Salesman chooses a player to go last in the night order.
Demons are not affected by the Salesman's ability.

How to Run
