Interesting question. If the werewolf "revealed" as the Hunter, would the real Hunter stay quiet? If so, what's the result? The Hunter would knowingly let the village lynch the wrong person. Why would the Hunter choose to do that? The only reason I can think of is that the Hunter figures on picking the supposed werewolf during the Night, on the 1 in 5 chance that the werewolf will pick the real Hunter. The odds are too great, because if the werewolf kills somone else, the villagers still don't realize that the professed Hunter is the real werewolf, and the real Hunter is allowing the innocent villagers to lose. I don't think anybody playing this game is that stupid. If I'm wrong, then the supposed real Hunter deserves to lose. So Lalaith must be the Hunter, because nobody contested her claim.

I forgot about the cursed. Which the werewolf wouldn't do, by the way. Thanks for the chance at additional proof that we need to lynch tar.
