No real hints towards people's specific roles I believe is what I said.

Silmaril

The sun began to set. The sky turned shades of pinks and orange. It was still a lovely day despite all the dying that was going on. There was some confusion, no one knew whether to believe Mira and Izzy or to believe Fea, but one thing they had agreed on was to lynch Agan.

"Hmm, so how should we do this?" Gaurcrist asked.

"Well, maybe we should let her giant lions take care of her!" Lari suggested, looking over at Agan's back yard. There was a large arena with 3 huge lions walking about.

"Hahaha, my lions love me, they would never hurt me!" Agan cried out trying to sound confident, but there was a tiny hint of fear in her voice.

"Well, they will if you're not the real Agan!" McCaber said, pointing a finger at her.

So they agreed and led Agan towards her own back yard. Phantom took the time to grab a long link of sausages and let them fall around her neck. "Just to make sure they're interested" he clarified when he got a few strange looks. They brought her closer and shoved her in, quickly closing the door bhind her. They all stood back and watched.

"It's ok kitties, I'm your master, you know me, don't hurt me please." Agan whispered to the lions, trying to stay calm. The three felines eyed her suspiciously but started to purr. She was their master after all. They drew closer to her and even ignored the sausage, starting to snuggle close to her. But the night was coming and the first thing that changed before her appearance would be her scent. The lions took a few sniffs and suddenly didn't recognise it any more, this scent was fowl, not their master. They eyed her suspiciously, looked at each other, and then they pounced.

There was a large mix of noise, some screaming mixed in with the snarling. The villagers all crouched behing the fence, only listening, too afraid to look. Then it grew quite.

One by one they peaked over the fence and looked in. It was quite a mess, and the cats were still chomping down on a few peices. But it became pretty obvious; that leg over there was way too short, and that arm over there looked more like a man's. She had indeed been Rumpelstiltskin.

They all began walking home, quite happy that they were finally making some progress. The three remaining baddies walked towards their usual meeting spot, slowly changing back to their real selves. They were one down, but they were not going to give up.

It was a dark night, darker than most, with barely any stars. The Big Bad Wolf walked first into the Old Witch’s little home and was then followed by the Ugly Stepsister. They sat there for a time, just staring at each other in shock.

“Well, at least it wasn’t me.” The Stepsister said selfishly, looking away and fixing the black ribbon in her hair. “We’ve had our moments of silence for the little cretin. Can we get on with it now?”

“Yes. We can.” The Old Witch said as she stopped pacing and sat down as well. “Who shall it be?”

“Well, I think it’s pretty obvious.” The Big Bad Wolf snarled. He looked at the Ugly Stepsister and asked slyly “Would you like to do the honours tonight?”

She sat there with a small smile on her face and adjusted her ribbon once again. “Happily.” She said before stepping out of the little home and into the night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Fairy Godmother sat in her treetop once again, snacking on some small pastries. She was reading a letter given to her by the wielder of the looking glass and was writing two copies of a reply. She was very hopeful, for not only had they gotten their first evil doer, but she and the wielder had a new ally in the Huntsman. Things were finally looking as if they could go well. Suddenly she heard some rustling in the bushes below, and she knew what was coming. She used her magic to send off the two finished letters. Then she waited.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The villagers awoke to the first gloomy morning in a long time. They all gathered yet again in the town square, all knowing that something quite terrible must have happened that night. After a quick glance it became obvious who was missing.

They began walking around checking the usual spots. This missing villager was nowhere to be seen. They kept walking and searching. Then finally someone spotted something.

“Look! There’s someone up in that old tree.” Inziladun pointed as the rest of the village gathered around him. They took a closer look and it became obvious it was who they were looking for. For a few minutes they thought perhaps she was just sleeping, but then they saw the bluish tint of her skin. They looked over her, trying to figure out how she had died.

“That ribbon, around her neck.” Lari pointed out. “It must have been used to strangle her.”

The villagers nodded and were about to leave when they spotted a scrap of paper on the ground. Kath picked it up and looked closely. “All I can read is Dear Fairy Godmother.”

They all gasped. This had been the one who had sent them that letter with Wilwarin that first day. The one who had been trying to protect them. They all took one final glance at her and then finally turned to leave. The relief from their previous Day’s victory was gone.

Eomer stayed behind once again with his handy shovel. “Poor Izzy.” He said before getting to work.

Now Day 5. You may discuss.

I should say so. Feawolf made a good try with the 'I'm the real seer' bit, but neglected to pay attention to detail. A small oversight, but it proved fatal. Small oversights often do.
At least there is now no doubt of Mira's credibility.
I hope her latest dream is a good one. We're finally making some headway.

Late nights and whiskey apparently destroy my usual thoroughness. A silly mistake.

But no worries. You have your Hunter, little Seer, but nobody to save you when they kill you tonight. Too bad you didn't dream of one more wolf. Now the very, very foolish village is all on its lonesome.

Bookmaker, where are you? I want to make some bets.

She dreamed the Huntsman. (By the way, as an Australian, I find that name terribly funny – not to mention recent news headlines like Huntsman Named Ambassador to China.

...But I digress.

Let's get on with betting.

tp is the Robber Bridegroom and Gaurcrist is a wolf. (2-1)

Gaurcirst is the Robber Bridegroom and tp is a wolf. (2-1)

They're both wolves. (2-1).

Gaurcrist is innocent. (25-1)


EDIT: punctuation.
