”It is beyond all doubt that Bruno Gröning is equipped with spiritual healing power and that he is eminently successful in his spiritual way of healing.

The GM moves by the character that was killed by the wolves (with a possible exception on the first night) and announces that the villagers should wake up.

The solution is to leave behind the assortment of 8-bit fonts with their limit of 256 characters, where the same character number can represent a different character in different alphabets, and move to a system that assigns a unique number to each character in each of the major languages of the world.
