Would it not!?
Now you're talkin' my fisherman! Even though I would hate to lose an innocent Roa - I really would - there is sense in this. I mean I first hesitated and was kind of agreeing with Rikae's suggestion that we do not waste our lynch on her toDay. But there is one problem there and it is as follows.

If we let Roa live and Rikae makes it through the Night, we can't say it is because she (Rikae) is a Faithful and has fooled us or because the wolves are bluffing us. And that in turn would mean both that we kill an innocent toDay with some pretty considerable probabilities and that we will be faced with real tough dilemmas toMorrow as to what to do, thus increasing the risk that our gifteds feel the need to reveal themselves...

As I said up above: we can't say. It's perfectly possible she's alive toMorrow whether we lynch you or not.

But a truly ingenious piece of work here!

It occurs to me now, that the wolves may have actually attacked her (assuming she's Tar-Miriel, because it would be a foolish move for a Faithful at this point), not realizing that she was the cobbler in disguise, and the ranger may have truly protected her.
I mean this is perfectly possible! But it sure is highly unprobable as well. If Rikae is a cobbler fighting for her life all Roa says is possible.

Even though what Roa says is perfectly possible I would also like to remind us - and myself the most - that bogging down in this issue and not hunting for the Faithfuls would be an excellent masterpiece of Cobblery, the very thing Roa is here suspected of!

I'll need to take a break from this question now anyhow as my brain hurts...

I'll be doing what I can next to look for any possible villains around here as I'm not having all the time on Day3 (alive, if I am then).

EDIT: X'd with Spm & Brinniel
