"See that's just my point. Yes Boro had names on his innocent list, but those are just people that he felt were innocent not necessarily people that he had dreamt of and thus cleared. There were no indications in his posting that these people on his list were entirely cleared and innocent."

"I see, I see. But post 272 is as close to an innocent list as it gets. You can put together a dream list around it without any contradictions. Nogrod and I spotted Menel without help, so Boro didn't have to dream about him. Also, who would you dream of on a Day 1? Nogrod or Menel (no offense, Menel)?
I think Boro knew he would be lynched this night. I feared the same thing. He didn't declare seerdom because that would have steered the discussion the wrong way. None of his innocents were on the lynching menu anyway. So he gave his innocents, said he thinks them to be innocent though he knew, and hoped the best.

I hope the ranger does a wise decision tonight..."

Naria had been prepared for what was going to happen. She knew that she was the one to be lynched. But instead of protesting and crying out for mercy, she allowed the villagers to tie her up.

"Well, that was easy!" Nogrod cried happily.

"So what do we do with her?" Kath said uneasily.

"Well, she's a warrior. What would be a punishment for disobeying an order?" Lommy asked quietly.

"Beheading," Sleepy said simply.

They all looked at each other uneasily, none of them wanting to do the job themselves.

"Okay, this is getting annoying!" Naria said imaptiently. "Will you kill me already? Only the ropes are chaffing my wrists."

"Ah shut up!!" Volo cried.

"Yeah, what you going to do about it, you mediocre Inn keeper!" sneered Naria.

"You didn't!"

"I believe I just did!"

"That's it!!" Volo cried and he lunged for Naria's sword. But he was too late. Naria was already dead, her head on the ground. "Uh, what happened?" he asked, utterly perplexed. He then looked up and saw Macalaure holding up Naria's bloody sword.

"I was getting annoyed by your bickering," he said simply. And the villagers walked away, disappointed that they had not found the Wolf and wondering what would happen that night.

The villagers awoke that morning, sure that they were going to find another bloody body that the Wolves had killed the Night before.

That's why, when they gathered, they were utterly perplexed that there were still six of them left.

They counted and re-counted to check.

"So, the Ranger succeded? AGAIN!?" Sleepy cried in shock.

"Seems so!" Kath shouted happily.

And the villagers went off for further discussion, one of them covered in scratches, yet quite pleased with last Night's protection, and one in a furious rage at last Night's failure.

Kath popped her head in early again, aware that this might be the only chance she had to speak toDay.

"If I might offer my opinion, I suggest we look very long and hard at Lommy toDay. Boro himself said that if Naria turned out to be innocent it was likely that Lommy was not. You've got my analysis of Lommy from a couple of Days back and if I have a chance I will do a more up to date one but I may not be able to get back here again before the end of the Day. Because of this I am going to vote now.

++LOMMY

If further analysis shows her to be more innocent looking than, say, Sleepy, then my apologies for possibly screwing up a lynch. However, I would rather vote than not, and she is my top suspect at the moment. I hope to be back later, but if I am not then good luck for getting our final wolf toDay!"

In a manner that had become a habit, Kath left again, hoping she'd be back, but thinking it unlikely.

"Three cheers for the Ranger!

Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!


Kath, where did Boro say that if Naria turned out to be innocent it is likely that Lommy was not? I think you refer to this:

in your Boro-analysis. But that came from:

There he quotes the reasons that Menel gave. It's absolutely not his own suspicion - on the contrary. It's not even saying 'if Naria's innocent Lommy is not', but 'if Lommy's innocent Naria's not'. Are you twisting Boro's words? Even if it was just a fault, it is not a good reason for a vote, though I agree that good reasons for votes are rare at the moment.
Regardless I agree with you that Lommy is worth a closer look, but this kind of reason makes me suspicious on you again.

In retrospect, Sleepy's vote for Naria yesterday is a little suspicious. Since all remaining four would have had to agree on one other suspect, it basically sealed her fate."

Kath rushed in, unable to hear what had just passed due to the rushing in her ears from running all the way from home.

"Third time, I know." She panted. "I know Lommy can't be lynched toDay from the (extremely) quick skim that I have done though I would vote for her were it not pointless. It seems I must choose between Naria and Sleepy and right now my vote goes to

++NARIA

I have no reasoning other than a feeling. Sleepy I think has been rather deliberately secretive but he doesn't strike me as so wolvish. Anyway, apologies and I hope my feelings are right!"

She rushed back out again, cursing herself for continually voting in such a rush.
