Unkindness,Murder & Storytelling Almanac

Ravenswood Bluff, a small town established in the late 1600's, has seen it's fair share of demonic attacks over it's years. From Imps and Fang-Gus, to even a demon that turned over a new leaf and helped the town against his former brethren. Eventually though, the demons stopped coming to Ravenswood Bluff, and the town faded into a state of normalcy over the years and decades, slowly making the attacks into almost a tall tale for the town.

It's now nearing the end of the 20th century, and the once dark and dreary town on the edge of a cliff has turned into a lively and peaceful suburbs. People are expressing themselves in new and exciting ways, some of which would've been deemed heresy or worse back in the times of the town's founding.

However, on the very edge of town, on the cliffside of the original town's founding, The ever present clocktower, once dormant and thought to be beyond repair, starts to tick again. And soon enough, the town's new clocktower in the center on the modern town, starts to tick in sync with the original one...

The meaning of this has been lost to mostly everyone one in town, but old records in the library lead to one conclusion. A demon has set it's sights on Ravenswood Bluff once again...

Who will live to see the sunrise? Who will die, and become just another twisted statistic in a demon's cruel game?

Who will survive this bout of Unkindness, Murder, and Storytelling?
Unkindness, Murder, and Storytelling is a Homebrew script with the main factors being nominations and character typing (TF, Outsiders, Minion, Demon, etc.)
