Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[Saurreg]

The votes for the first day were either:

a. Flukes. Everybody was grasping in murky waters, trying their luck to the extreme. Vote for the sake of voting or not to be suspected.

b. Calculated votes to gauge the reaction of those who are accused and their detractors/supporters. A form of observation by agitation.

c. A gambit by werewolves to start a first round of random lynching enmass.

Esgalhugwen was not present during the first round. But if we go by my first werewolf theory and apply c.;

The two wolves have long decided to ostracize their unlucky kindred since the beginning. The werewolves win in the end regardless which lycan stays alive and by habing the unwitting one eliminated, they exonerate themselves.

Then two of the werewolves were present in that round of voting. Each sponsoring its own candidate. However Hookbill was not there to vote. Therefore he is either innocent or the two wolves had agreed that only one of them would vote.
