20/20 hindsight says this was a hint to Hephaestus:

Question is, did Hephaestus pick it up?

I'm surprised at two things. First, that Boro said "seer" three times in his opening post, as well as used the words "see", "watch", and "glasses". I know Boro is bold and likes baiting the other side, but that's a bit much even for him. My leading suspicion of why he would make such remarks was that he was the lone Ordo and thought maybe he could attract a kill or better yet a Ranger save, or that he was cursed and wished to be turned.
The second thing that surprises me is that the Wolves did indeed shoot for him. Personally I would have been mighty paranoid that I was being tricked by old Boro.

Maybe that's it: he hoped to double-bluff them into thinking "Oh, it's just
Boro pulling our legs, as usual".
Alternatively, he might have been very confident of being protected last Night. You'd think he'd be afraid the Ranger and Hunting Guardian would assume he was bluffing too– as was the case, it seems.

Um... what? I have no clue what he's saying there, but it looks like he's up to something or other. Any thoughts Mira?

Well, since you've drawn attention to it: it
looks like he thought she had one of the protective roles– but if so, why put her in jeopardy like that? Or was he hoping to trick the wolves into thinking he was indeed a hinting Lover?

All in all I'd have to say this is the best I can come up with for his dream choice, because earlier speaking to BG he said this-
So, he defines his scale and says that anyone other than a WW would rate some level of hurt on the scale, and then when he votes against Eonwe he rates him at a negative four, meaning that it would not hurt us to lose him.
So, given those two facts-
1) Losing anyone other than a WW would rate somewhere 1 to 10
2) Losing Eonwe would NOT rate somewhere 1 to 10
Eonwe = Wolf
So, in the end, that's my best guess at his Seer dream. But of course we don't know if he's the real Seer or not.

He might have been simply talking about the Eonwe-Dionysus business.
The fact that the wolves went ahead and killed him doesn't look too good for
Steve, however. (Although, I suppose it could also point to wolves who haven't played with
Boro much before, and just took his double-bluff, if that's what it was, at face value.)
