Maybe not so much what I thought.

Galadriel's suicide and then Lommy's death had left everyone in a frenzy. The village cobbler may have died, but two innocents had gone with him. Too many good folk were dying without bringing the real culprits to justice.

They had to bring down one of the wolves' cohorts today or they'd be doomed.

“It has to be Nog!” Part of the tavern rose up. It was generally agreed the retired barkeep had always been a problem.

“No! It's that girl Sally.” The town bicycle was a shifty one. Besides, with snow on the ground it wasn't like she was taking her bicycle anywhere. What else was she to do than work with wolves?

Debate raged until the sun began to sink in the sky. Finally an angry group grabbed Sally by the hair and dragged her to the back. A funnel was forced in her mouth while a bottle of Inzil's homemade rat poison was poured down.

Sally coughed violently against the poison. Foam, tinged pink with blood, formed at the corners of her mouth. Her body stiffened, eyes rolling into her head. She spat up blood and was gone. The mob searched her pockets to find a contract. Signed in her blood and with a bloody pawprint it was clear she had been among those you made a pact with the wolves.

Their companion had been taken down. The two other cohorts set off looking for another victim. This one was for them though. The wolves could not feast on these bones.

But who to pick? They prowled about, looking into windows and checking locks. The sun would be up soon. A decision had to be made. They picked their victim. It was time to make someone suffer for what had happened to Sally. The whole village should burn for that.

Something was wrong when they tried to pick the lock. “Try again,”one hissed in the darkness.

“It feels like someone jammed it from inside. Let's just break a window.”

“We might be heard. Try again!”

An arrow flew through the darkness and lodged into the door's wood. The two sped from the scene. It was getting too late. The pink hue of morning was beginning on the horizon. Tonight they had been bested.

Yeah go Ranger! This puts us at 2 wolves and 5 innocents right? That's better odds than it looked like it was going to be!

I'm disappearing for Father's Day duties but will be back this evening.

Okay, here, and I really really have to apologize but I don't think I will be very active, this time not voting early, but being probably absent until very close before DL (RL duties, I have one last exam coming tomorrow morning, about 6 hours before DL. So I can be active after that, but not before, I fear). Also I haven't had the time to read the thread very carefully as to what happened yesterDay, the main thing I gather was lynching a Wolf at last, however preceded by some funny debates. In any case I want to recheck and reevaluate my opinion on Nog, since at least from what I remember, he was one of those voicing the suspicion of sally from quite long time ago, and he probably had the chance to vote somebody else yesterDay if he wanted to save a packmate.

If there can be a vote-count or something from yesterDay for quick review, I'd be very grateful for it.

We definitely have one more Day (or even more, in fact, even in the worst case). I will try to use toDay as well as I could, but, see above... shall be back much later (I said originally my participation in this game might not be 100%, but right now it's the worst moment).
