Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[the phantom]

Lalaith, you are doing some good thinking but you haven't quite got it figured out.

If he were a werewolf he would not have had to save himself, one of the other werewolves could simply have stepped in and voted for one of the other nominees. This would not have drawn suspicion to Eomer, because there were three other nominees also saved.

That is completely wrong.

It would've been far more suspicious for someone else to step in and save Eomer than it was for Eomer to save himself- because that is what an innocent would do. It is always excusable for someone to cast a vote to save their life. We never hold that against someone because they literally have no choice, therefore Eomer was the perfect person to save Eomer.

But then, I realised the meaning of his lack of volunteering for his plan, thus suggesting that he is gifted or a werewolf. Which begs the question, why was he not killed by the werewolves if he is gifted.

That is the question I asked at the beginning of the day. Azalia was extremely unlikely to be gifted, so why in the world was she killed?

And even if the wolves thought that I was a plain villager trying to trick them into killing me as the seer, there were much better choices besides Azalia.

The only reasons I can think of to kill Azalia are-
1) The werewolves aren't doing much thinking
2) Killing someone who was obviously not gifted would be a sure way to get everyone to wonder why no one who appeared to be gifted was killed. Who looks the most likely to be gifted? Me.

So it seems likely that the reason Azalia was killed was because the wolves thought that they could easily shift suspicion to me the next day.

Where as if they had killed me during the night- who would be their lynching suspect for today?

No one else is as easy a target as I am.

So there you have it.

Azalia was killed in order to get me lynched and Eomer is in the process of carrying out the plan as we speak.
