, Jailkeeper's protection extends to stopping every kill that would resolve on the target by default.

This role is a non-

their target is considered

) but is blocked as a result of being targeted by a Jailkeeper should receive a "no result" message, rather than told their target didn't go anywhere or nobody visited their target. A Jailkeeper cannot stop a

from committing a kill (regardless of who they target), and does not prevent other players from targeting their target with non-killing actions (e.g. if a

and Jailkeeper target the same player, the Watcher will see the Jailkeeper's action).
