WW LXXXVIII: What Lies in the Dark (Game Thread)

[the phantom]

Today has been super quiet. Bleh. Quiet days are ugly.

Down to business now. There is someone that has been stung. I've been trying to keep my eye out for someone who appears to be in need of serious help, or who is practically begging to be lynched.

Possible posts that fit those requirements-

But then later he rationalizes his comment and even says-

Which I doubt a sting victim would say. So no, not Inzil.

So moving on...

My my- sounds like someone saying "I'm sick!" doesn't it? Not that he could admit as much, and perhaps his next post in which he theorizes the existence of a Spiderling rather than a training-Spiderling, he is attempting to cover up his "reveal" which he feared may have been too obvious and thus worthy of modfire? Hmmm...

I'd say Boro is a possibility for last night's stinging.

But first let's take a look at the person who has BY FAR been the most interesting to watch... Lhuna!

Now, leading with "I reveal" and mentioning holding hands, to me anyway, screams of someone attempting to draw out Sam and/or Frodo. Did anyone else have that immediate reaction? That would make Lhuna a good Shelob candidate.

But it's also technically possible she was trying to get Sam's attention because she was stung, making her a Been-Stung candidate.

Then later-

Feeling useless? Sounds like a Been-Stung.

I honestly do not know whether to feel threatened or pleased with myself.

Again, sounds like a Been-Stung.

Now here she mentions the person that was stung and even invites a "dream", or the closest thing we have to it in this game, the Doctor's ability to dream if someone has been stung. Is this another "I've been Stung" clue?

Of course it could also be Shelob boldly attempting to get Sam to waste his cure ability and the Doctor to waste his examine ability on her, thus leaving her minion alone.

In summary I am very very suspicious of Lhuna. Only problem is, if she's Shelob, I'd rather kill her Day 3 and end it. Perhaps we can request that Sam check her with his cure if he feels at all inclined just in case? Bah, but if she's Shelob it'd be a waste. Bleh. I don't like you, Lhuna.
