[Eönwë]

After commenting on the sorrowful loss of their Seer, the people of Upper Downsbury quickly turned their thoughts towards Legate.

First Sally commented, saying, "Either Legate's a wolf or it's a wolf trick, but I don't think it's likely that the wolves would give up that extra lynch."

Then Hakon said, "I've always thought it was Legate, I hope he is."

Nienna agreed, starting a massive bandwagon by saying, "I think it's worth it- lynching Legate, I mean."

Soon it seemed that everyone was willing to accept that it was not a wolf trick, and that Legate was, in fact, a wolf, which had lead to there only being one killing during the Night.

The Fool, Nilpaurion, who always spoke his mind, had something different to say. "Isn't it too easy? Don't you think that the wolves are tricking us?"

And Shasta went into denial about killing the Seer, realising that villages always killed their seers early, before they could be of much use.

Legate appeared, and appeared to be defending himself quite well against the accusations, but they kept coming and people ignored his replies. "Don't you realise that you're being used by the wolves?" he said. "Can't you see that they're going to take control. Don't do what they want you to do. And at least if you're going to kill me today, please talk about whoever else you think is evil, otherwise you've wasted the day, just like they wanted you to!"

Nerwen fought back, but it didn't matter. Even though they were thinking about what he was saying, the people still wanted to kill Legate.

The people were shouting, "He's a wolf! He's a wolf" and brought him to Eönwë

"Can we kill him, please?" someone shouted.

Eönwë paused for a moment. Now, what makes you think he's a wolf?"

"He looks like one." was the general clamouring voice of the crowd.

Legate, who was wearing a grey fur coat and fake teeth, came forwards. "I'm not a wolf," he said.

"But you are dressed as one," replied Eönwë.

"I don't look like this. They put these on me," Legate said, and took them off.

"Well?" said Eönwë, raising an eyebrow inquisitively at the crowd.

"Well," said Pitchwife, "we did do the teeth."

"The teeth?" the mayor inquired.

"And the coat," he admitted. "But he's a wolf!"

"Kill him! Kill him!" cried the crowd in a frenzy of bloodlust.

"Did you dress him up like that?" asked the mayor.

"No! No! No... Yes... Yes..." the crowd eventually admitted.

"Has he actually done anything to show he's a wolf?" asked Eönwë.

"He bit me!" exclaimed Nogrod.

"Really?" asked Eönwë.

"Well... I got better," he replied.

"Kill him anyway!" shouted Brinniel, soon to be echoed by the rest of the assembled lynch mob.

"Quiet, quiet!" Eönwë tried to calm the crowd. "There are ways of telling if he is a wolf."

"Tell us, tell us!" shouted the crowd.

"Well... what can float?"

"Wood!" shouted McCaber.

"Bread!" shouted Nessa.

"A wolf!" shouted Pitchwife.

"Exactly" verified Eönwë. "So logically, if he can float...

"...then he's a wolf!" shouted Brinniel triumphantly.

"And then we can kill him!" shouted the crowd.

"Precisely." said Eönwë.

So they took Legate to the river. They tied his hands and feet together and Brinniel and Pitchwife flung him in.

A little blood came up, but was washed past by the river. But there was no sign of Legate.

"He was innocent after all." said Eönwë. And everyone went back to the village square, downcast. "It just goes to show that money can't give you everything.

"And who shall we save for the night?" asked the mayor.

"Nogrod!" was the general consensus.

And so, the Night guards took up their positions for the third time, this time outside Nogrod's house.
