One wolf down already, eh? Let me see what this says about everyone...

Kath is almost certainly innocent, given that she was pretty suspicious of Nogrod and her vote put him first in line for the gallows.

Eomer and Cailin are probably innocent too, given their vote for Nogrod was the first for him.

I think I have a good idea of what Saucepan was looking for (and found) with Lommy. He picks up on the thought that she has some idea of how many wolves there are. He then attempts to get her to tell what, precisely, led her to think that there were three wolves among us. When she can't come up with enough to suit Sauce, he votes for her.

As for how well-reasoned this plan was...
Well, Lommy, to my knowledge, is not very experienced at playing a wolf, so she may well have made a blunder early on. However, I find Sauces immediately jumping on her to be rather out of place for him. It's possible she genuinely did see something in the narration, and he took advantage of this to portray her as a wolf.

His vote at the end is for Nogrod but that doesn't particularly help his case as it was a vote to save his own skin. I wouldn't put it past a Saucepan Wolf to vote for another wolf; this has the advantage of making him appear innocent. He portrays Nogrod as an innocent there, but I doubt even he could provide a good reason for suddenly changing his mind about someone he has been defending for the whole Day.

I admit that this is fairly shaky, though, and would like to hear what others think.
