Balrog

Each day, you may move a step for each used vote token: the last player you passed dies.

The Balrog can bestow utter destruction upon whomever it is set; shall their lust for power and riches fell those who delve to deep?

  • The Balrog may choose to move either direction; clockwise or anticlockwise, meaning they do have some choice in who dies.
  • The Balrog does this once each day, at any time before Sauron's kill.
  • The Balrog must move exactly that many steps, no more, no less.
  • The Balrog only kills the last player it passed after moving. If the Balrog moved 3 seats, the 3rd player dies.
  • Exiled travelers do not have a vote token (dead ones do).

Once per day, the Balrog can declare that they wish to use their ability. Count the number of dead players without a vote token, and ask the Balrog which direction they'd like to move — clockwise or anticlockwise. Move the Balrog token and player that many steps in the chosen direction. Whichever player the Balrog passed most recently dies — place a shroud on their token in Town Square.

2 players are dead and neither have voted. The Balrog may not act.
3 players have died and 1 has spent a vote. The Balrog is 2 steps away from Leonidas, whom they wish to kill. When Xander is being nominated, one of the dead players votes, and the Balrog chooses to use their ability in between nominations to kill Leonidas.

"Moria...You fear to go into those mines. The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm...shadow and flame."
