I could also sub back in. The only info leakage is who Septi-EMT Protected yesterDay. — but I’d know anyway; Septi-EMT thinks a lot like me! 🙂 But if that is not an option, please send me Spoilers … the most completely Spoilerish Spoilers available! ---

Howdy folks! You’ll forgive me if I’m not thrilled to be here so soon… My early demise is doubly disappointing because I managed to nab myself a Bad Guy on my Day 1 Investigation…unless I managed to Spot the Patsy, which would actually be quite a bit less likely. For the moment, I think I’ll hang out here and play along, rather than asking to be spoiled. ---

Is it possible that Septimus protected himself, the Outrider targeted him, that bounced back to Septimus as the protector of himself, and Septimus died?

If that player is under the protection of any active protecting role(s) - the EMT or Doctor Seward, for example - the player(s) doing the protecting will die. Your target will still survive any attempt on his life unless the protection is obviated in some other way.” > > AU Batman > > “You are a vigilante. Each night you kill someone. That’s it.

You don’t get to not kill someone, and you aren’t suicidal so you can’t kill yourself. Make Daddy proud.” > > Do you see the difference? AU Batman kills, but the Outrider doesn’t, their target just dies.

No - if the hitman or outrider targets a player who is not protected, nothing at all happens. **Bonus fun fact: the hitman or outrider will kill a self-protecting doctor.** (My bold.)

In this case Doctor is shorthand for doctor style protector role a la Doctor Seward, the Wizard or the EMT. But Doctor roles off the tongue better. ---
