Well, or a person who looks at things objectively and ask themselves if it's a coincidence that the Ranger and the wolves targeted the same person.

Of course it could be - in which case all my theories collapse and you can lynch me all you want toMorrow. But how likely?

Once again, standing in the wolves' shoes, if you have a choice between equally appealing dinner, you would avoid the one that is the most likely to be protected by the Ranger. Unless you're pretty desperate to kill that person, so that you would go for them even at great risk of wasting a kill and giving the Ranger an innocent.

I agree, it could be a coincidence. But the wolves are smarter than that. And, realistically, what's the likelihood?

EDIT: xed with Nerwen

Not great– but a bit higher than usual in this particular village, simply because of the low numbers. You do have to factor that in.

EDIT:X'd since G55.

I may regret that vote, but that's an awfully convoluted defense from an evil G55. If you're a wolf, hats off.

McCaber has been trapped in the Barrow!
Now I look like a bandwagoner, but he genuinely looks the most suspicious.

If we're wrong, at least we'll have some solid leads on where to go toMorrow.



(Also, highlight is really fun to type. I don't know why I never noticed that before.)
