I'm wondering about the night time activities that took place and here's my input.

And those that she had spied on had summarily executed her for it.

This is
Durelin's death, and the word 'those' makes it seem as if there were multiple people
Durelin had spied on. So, I agree with
Nogrod, that
Durelin had been spying on the wolves and it was the wolves that took care of her.
Which leaves who killed
Menel and
Rune? Yesterday, I talked about the role of the bear. It was actually the first village my family was in,
SpM was in that village to, and if I remember he was quite fond of the bear. Now in that village it was the 'Black Beorning' who was virtually a lone wolf, with a night kill and only one if he/she was the last one standing.
Rune had been rather gruesomely killed, I wonder if we have a Black Beorning in the village?
Menel had also been gruesomely taken care of, though right now I am leaning to think that whomever disposed of
Menel is on our side. Maybe an assasin type character? Obviously it was someone who was highly suspicious of
Menel all day, disappointed he wasn't lynched, and so decided to take care of what the village failed to do during the day.
Nogrod, good point about
The Sixth's votes, I was making some comments about those who voted for
Menel and
Isabell's vote for xyzzy which stuck out the most to me.
Shasta, you missed
Sixth's vote for
Durelin, but
xyzzy and
Menel did end up in a tie. There are no double lynchings in this village (as that old quack wizard told us we must choose 'one'), and I think whoever gets to the most votes first (in this case 5 and
xyzzy) is the one that goes in the event of a tie.
