I'm sorry for being unhelpful, guys. It was three am my time, and I wasn't thinking too clearly. All I saw was Nog going on one of his usual crusades, acting as though everything pointed toward his preconceived suspicion, and having dealt with those before I couldn't stomach the idea of doing so again.
It seemed to me pretty obvious that his case didn't make much sense; I've been a wolf enough times to know that it's rare you kill for a suspected seer, and when you have one that points to a wizard, that's a touchy situation, while a relatively quiet player who points seerishly to an innocent is gold. Volo did a good job, basically. The trouble is, Nog goes on these crusades as an innocent, and he also is good enough to imitate them as a baddie, so I can't even say anything about him.
I don't feel like I can say anything about Nerwen, either. Could have honestly taken my post literally, could have jumped at the chance to make a very safe vote. Shouldn't have given her that chance.

I also had to go check the rules again and see votes are not retractable, so I've created even more of a mess.

At any rate, I have difficulty seeing why the "Volo was a suspected seer" thing is taken for granted so. Greenie says it's the only explanation that makes sense, which is way out there: as far as I'm concerned, Volo was flying under the radar pretty well until now and his one trail was a convenient one for the wolves. He creates confusion, but so does Gil, so does Kath (really, the wizard of OZ and you aren't a cobbler, Kath?), and if the remaining wolves aren't under much pressure they wouldn't be too worried about that.

Also: not the purseholder, just an ordo.
