[The Saucepan Man]

So, a bunch of self-righteous Were-Faithfuls dare blight our haven, do they? Still, with Lord Annatar’s blessing, I am hopeful that we will soon have them nicely sacrificed upon His Unholy altar.

Can’t be me. The cobbler is, after all, a Queen, and so female.

On a more serious note …

What? So as to help those foul Faithfuls spot Gifted behaviour? Unlike Nogrod, I share Lalaith's reservations over that comment. I also think it will be unhelpful to discuss likely Faithful behaviour, at this early stage at least, as it tells the Faithfuls precisely how not to behave to avoid being spotted.

The best way forward, as I see it, is to observe the words of those who speak and draw conclusions over the patterns of behaviour that we see before our eyes, rather than speculating about how the Faithful might behave in the future. And that requires us all to talk. So, as always, I bid all here not to hold your tongues. Bring forward your thoughts, your suspicions and your accusations, so that we may debate these at our counsel. Do not be afraid to speak, for it is only by speaking that we will catch these abhorrent souls. I will not look kindly upon those who skulk in the corners of this thread (without good reason).

So, laying low fishing, when you should have been out sacrificing Faithfuls to the Lord Annatar, eh? By your words, it seems that you would rather be fleeing to the mainland with the blashphemer Elendil and his crew, than here among your brethren. Are you one of his crew, mayhaps?

Then again, I rather agree with you about that Hookbill fellow.
