For example... you don't know Blade's name... for some odd reason :-)

However, you saw Blade pointing at you, making a slitting motion across his throat, then paying the Count a large sum of gold, to which the Count gives a big thumbs up, heads straight toward you and kills you saying "Sorry, Buddy, it's only business".

You can curse the 'huge cigar smoking ogre that rips men's hearts out of their chest and shows it to them before they die.' with out knowing Blades name.


In the same scenario, instead of cursing the master of the triple shank could you also curse the count, assuming he gave the big ol thumbs up on your execution?

You could try, and then it'd be up to James as to whether it worked or not.  That's the "director's discretion" part of the skill description.

Ohh... I see I was unclear... I meant that the Count killed you after Blade paid him to do so, so Blade is the mysterious person planning the death, the Count is the bringer of doom.

So you could easily curse the Count because he actually killed you.
You could curse the Cigar Smoking Ogre who you suspect planned your death.  But only if you noticed those strange goings on, or had another good IG reason to suspect he's your killer.  Like you just stole his cigars, and he said "When me find out who take Blade Cigar, me just sayin, him maybe wind up dead.  Not ME kill him... just maybe it wind up that way"
However, if secretly Erdrick paid Blade to pay the count to do that, and only Blade and Erdrick knew that, and Erdrick never seemed to dislike you, but someone overheard Sam telling Mike Smith at the Bar on Friday Night "I can't wait until Blade pays the count to kill Schmucko, he'll never know it was Erdrick" and they tell you that it was Erdrick... well that's bullcrap and that person gets NO bacon.

Answers all my questions, and I'm all good with it.  :)

Anyone aiming to hit a third party as a mastermind instead of the person who jacked them should be able to explain why they think the mastermind did it when they pull the curse trigger.  Unless it's Dave, because he is the Napoleon of Gypsy Genocide.

Napoleon and genocide just do not combine well.  Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin - those names ring.
