Um, why would she want to distance herself from the lynching of a wolf? Doesn't make sense to me (unlike the rest of your reasoning here).

They must have had something to gain from it. If Galadriel and I are both innocent, and perhaps neither of us is Radagast, and Radagast has by now had two dreams...that's a maximum of two probably-innocents and three known innocents. 5 innocents in an 8 person village, along with 2 wolves and 1 other villager. To me it would make sense for the wolves to have got rid of me or Galadriel last NIGHT, to cut down the number of probably-innocents, unless they had a really good idea who Radagast might be. Perhaps they were being reckless and hoping for maximum gain? Their current odds may not be great.

She mentioned Nessa a few times, but was fairly mild and reasonable about it. She also mentioned a few other people in a light sort of way, emphasising that she wasn't making accusations. It could have been a subtle way for Radagast to hide an actual suspicion on the first DAY.

The thing is, everything she said against Nessa or other people was based on sound reasoning, and nothing looks to me like it was arrived at by Nightly inspiration. Trailless kill seems much more likely to me.

It's past 5AM and my brain has turned into swiss cheese, so I'm not entirely sure why I said that. I was probably thinking along the lines of situations where wolves have gone for a wolf-on-wolf vote after a wolf lynching was already a sure thing. However, things hadn't reached that point when Nessa laid her vote.

I just don't understand why they would go for a trailless night kill in circumstances like the ones at hand. But I also don't understand why they would have gone for Nerwen thinking she was the seer on such thin grounds, because in these circumstances they would have needed to be sure in order for it to be worth the risk. But it must have been one of those options regardless.

Looks very much like it. I asked for clarification because I wanted to be totally sure I wasn't misunderstanding her.

Things have got interesting with Kitanna probably being Radagast, but I've really got to go now...
