How saddening to hear of Meneltarmacil's fate. Did he perish in the NIGHT? I will carve a fine toy Meara in his honour, and lay it on his grave. For free, even.

Last NIGHT I slept in my workshop after a hard day's work, and heard nothing. To think that there are three werewolves on the loose is a great worry. If the village falls, there will be no children to sell my wares to; and indeed, I will no longer be alive to sell them.

If I'm correct, we have only two DAYS in which to catch at least one werewolf, or else perish. I have never heard such a fearsome tale. We cannot afford mistakes, and we cannot and must not rely on our Seer. Each and every one of us must be alert - except for our furry opponents, whom I suggest should laze around all NIGHT or better yet leave the village.

I do not leave my workshop often, but there are villains amongst us, and they must be found. Why don't we ask that pair of ne'er do well wandering minstrels, satansaloser2005 and Shastanis Althreduin, where they were last NIGHT? Also, Nerwen is looking very suspicious, regardless of whether she's wolfish. Why can't I look more closely at the horses, hmm?

A terrifying occurence indeed.

I had arrived at the boathouse to deliver a poultice for Meneltarmacil, as he had commented on a scratch he'd recieved from a rusty nail - making it quite difficult to operate a boat. But lo and behold! a horrific sight! Even to a healer the image was heavy to bear.

Looking at this village's make-up, we've some pretty crafty folk. No one will be lazing about, not even these furry intruders.

Unfortunately I can't stay for early Day 1 banter. I do have work and then mandatory work "fun" after hours. I imagine I'll be back in ten hours at the latest. Don't have too much fun without me.

It seems clear that the devilry did indeed occur in the Night. Most disconcerting.

Hmm. That wouldn't be a preemptive defense, would it?

No, although I see why you might think so. I'm more curious about whether anyone else heard anything during the NIGHT.

But you *can* look closely. Just– er– not *that* closely! This spirited young filly here happens to be a little sensitive about her teeth, that's all. No, she is *not* "old enough to be your grandmother". What a peculiar thing to say about your grandmother.

No, no, there's nothing wrong with her. My good sir, that's just the breed. The...er... Eastfold Swayback.

Her temperament? Oh, delightful. A perfect mount for the more... adventurous rider. No, no, not vicious– just, as I said– spirited. Why, of course she doesn't bite! Gentle as a la– AAARRRRRGH!
