- If the Poppy Grower leaves play or dies while drunk or poisoned, Minions & Demons will still learn who each other are that night. Only evil Minions & Demons learn each other.
- To visit the Duchess, privately speak to the Storyteller. At night, visitors only learn info if exactly 3 players choose to visit the Duchess.
