The Chimneysweep makes Minions think they're good.
While setting up the game, replace the Minion tokens with good characters (these can be Townsfolk or Outsiders). Once tokens have been passed out, make sure to mark down the Minions with the "Is Minion (1/2/3/4)" reminder (mark whoever is the 1st Minion on the script with "Is Minion 1" and so).

- Vizier: The Demon chooses whether the Storyteller announces the presence of a Vizier or not.
- Lil' Monsta: If the Chimneysweep and Lil' Monsta are on the script, each night, all players choose a direction: if both Chimneysweep and Lil' Monsta are in-play, the Minion chosen by most other Minions babysits Lil' Monsta tonight. The Minion who babysits the Lil' Monsta does not learn the other Minions and their characters.

There are two Minions, a Gasanthesheshu and a Coral Snake. The Huntsman states there is no Rattlefog in-play, and nominates the Tinker, arguing there are too many Outsiders. As the Huntsman is implying there must be a Gasanthesheshu and Coral Snake, the Gasanthesheshu kills the Dovecotman. The Dovecotman states they believe they were killed by the Gasanthesheshu, so the Fortune Teller dies to the Gasanthesheshu that night.
The Noble is evil due to the King of Typhon. They suggest there is a Gasanthesheshu in-play. No one can die to the Gasanthesheshu ability, as the ability only detects good players being mad about the Gasanthesheshu.
If you catch a good player being mad that the Gasanthesheshu is in play, mark them with the MAD reminder.

The Diabolos Ex Deus collaborates with the Storyteller on who dies.
ETYMOLOGY: Deus ex Machina and Diabolos ex Machina, but corrupted in such a way that it's 'The Devil from God'.
On the second night, the Diabolos Ex Deus kills the Conspiracist, and the Storyteller kills the Tinker. On the third night, the Diabolos Ex Deus kills no-one, and the Storyteller attacks the Scribe, who is protected by the Bird-of-Paradise. On the fourth night, the Diabolos Ex Deus kills the Local Hero, so the Storyteller kills the Vagabond.
Each night except the first, wake the Diabolos Ex Deus. They either shake their head no or point at any player. If they pointed at any player, that player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.
Then, you point at any player. That player dies—mark them with the second DEAD reminder.
Put the Diabolos Ex Deus to sleep.
Consider making your choice of who to kill in such a way that it balances out who the Diabolos Ex Deus chose: if they killed quite an important role, consider killing an Outsider or a spent Townsfolk; if they chose a spent or protected role, consider killing something that would be a neutral kill. The Diabolos Ex Deus gains benefit from there being two kills per night, so you should almost never kill important targets yourself.
