Standard rules for the cult, you don't gain the powers of a Necromancer, you are merely on their team you keep your existing role etc.
Note its a little unclear, our own fault for not proof reading. I blame JA personally.
Also since its come up a few times, The Creature can still win if the others on his team are dead since he is an original member of the Undead. The Recruits require a Necromancer alive.
And just to complete the clarification process, Necromancers know if they have recruited successfully.
I think we will get an undead result on fener, but this in no way proves that Kessobahn is the medium. As a necromancer he could work out who the killers target is because he is informed that his recruitment was successful. This case he supposedly was going to make was on fener was an awful long way coming and came off the back of pressure from various players. he said himself that his supect list yesterday was a foolsih move and if fener is an undead that would mean that the creature and the killers both went for someone off that list. I find coincidences in mafia games hard to ignore, but there is something strange going on here and a day 2 reveal to get a recruit is very foolish for what i see is our strongest role.
Added to that, did anyone other than kessobahn even consider the possibility that the necromancers could target themselves? Even for one second? Why would the medium have been contemplating such a mechanic? Just because it isnt implied explicitly in the roles does not mean it isnt assumed, when we have a healer or a guard we do not assume they can heal or guard themselves. Why would a cult be allowed to recruit themselves, and why if you were the medium would you ask that question?
I do not have access from home at the moment, but i may have to visit the in laws tonight or batter my neighbours door. The only reason i havent returned my vote to kessobahn is that he could be the medium, and though i am very reluctant to suggest tactics for another player i would ask a finder to investigate if kessobahn is in fact the necromancer over the night, if there is no reveal tomorrow i will assume he isnt a necromancer and move on.
