This is so annoying, I have only just got home, and must go out again quite shortly. I only have time to skim-read the thread. But there is one basic fact we have to go on.
The wolves killed no-one last night.
The most likely scenario:
Rikae is, as she says, the seer, the ranger protected her and the wolves, gambling on a bluff by the ranger, tried and failed to kill her.
In this scenario, Roa must the Cobbler.

Other possible scenarios.
Rikae is a wolf. In this case the wolves must have decided not to kill anyone, in order to confuse the village. Is that even allowed under the rules? Very unlikely indeed.

Rikae is the cobbler. This is slightly more likely. The ranger would have protected her, thinking her the seer, and the wolves, also thinking her the seer, try to kill her. But why would Cobbler-Rikae say Roa was the Cobbler? Cobbler-Rikae does not know, any more than the rest of us, who is a wolf. So, if we then turn on Roa and kill her, and Roa turns out to be a wolf, the Rikae-Cobbler will have failed in her duty.

No, I find these scenarios too unlikely to be plausible. So, rather than risk killing an innocent, I will vote:
++ROA
