This is a homebrew script made entirely with homebrew characters based on the game Bloons Tower Defense. The script has a focus on drunkeness, poisoning and preventing death, along with a lot of interactions regarding neighbors. There are lots of ways for good to prevent death from the Demon, and for the Demons to prevent death from executions. The Demons are going to have to pay attention to who is immortal if they want to kill every night, and good might have to go out of their way to execute and kill the Demon. Paying attention to the roles of your neighbors can be especially important for several roles.
