It Can Happen to Any of Us

The rest of the night passed without a hitch. After reaching an agreement with Hephais, Jake resumed building the castle, this time with the other survivors' assistance.

It turned out that Hephais was not one of the Monsters. To prove this, they would have to wait for Peter's return, but a simpler solution presented itself in the form of Ostrexora. She used her Clairvoyant Role to identify his Roles in front of everyone and confirmed that he was not one of them.

The ghastly female Player had also joined the battle as promised to defend the Village, single-handedly eliminating more than half the Players and natives sent to fight alongside Hephais. She was covered in blood and gore, and a devilishly inhuman grin crept across her ghoulish face.

While Hephais was no Monster, he was no angel either. In addition to his original Farmer Role, the special Role he had acquired shortly after the first Round began was Assassin.
