But of course the more obvious possibility is that Nerwen pretended to be an Ordo receiving dreams to cover her own Seership.

Yes, but that wouldn't have helped her a whole lot... most likely the wolves would have gone for her anyway.
Which they may have even done, (if Boro does get to assassinate) and there was a ranger save. In which case, they're aware and will take her out toNight.

Hang on, going to look through yesterDay again...

Boro #408

"I sure hope this special unknown role isn't some maniac assassin. It would be nice to have a weapon against the wolves that can bite them in the night, but it would be most dreadful if it was just kind of blind night-time killer. This could be a really quick game if there's 2 wolf packs, and a blood-thirsty night maniac. It begs the question is this only a once every other night killer? Or maybe that "individual itch" in the DAY 2 narration was the hint, that the target (either Rune or the phantom) was the same, and thus only 2 kills."

From yesterDay. So there's that.

Anyway, I've been looking for any mention of Lalaith (from Nerwen or Boro) and nada. Well, until Boro's "Lalaith? Puzzling. " toDay.

Why Lalaith, anyway? Eomer and Nilp seemed to be more on the radar as possible wolves.

[Rikae]

Ok, Boro just now:

"someone who seemed to know too much, but I judged she wasn't the seer."

I assume this refers to Lal's post that phantom quoted as a possible reason the wolves would have killed her.

Anyway, I see Nerwen picked up on this:
"naming those three as looking innocent *could* have looked like a hint- but only to a pack that did not contain Macalaure. Now Lottiewolf says that Mac was one of her rivals, and that it was his pack, not hers, that killed Rikae."
So that's good.

Wait- Nerwen was trying to say that only a pack not containing Mac would think who was what? (edit: and because why?)

That I was the seer.

[the phantom]

Oh, oh, got it. Mac's pack wouldn't have killed you for looking Seerish because that would've made Mac a dreamed innocent.

Sorry, sorry- had my mind stuck on something else. Apparently I'm more tired than I thought.

Okay, so yeah, like we were discussing, Mac & Lottie might be together, or she may have reversed their actual kills, etc. We don't know anything.

Well, perhaps more interesting stuff coming. I'll check in once more before sleep.

Well quite. So here I am, a wronged ordo murdered by a seemingly self-confessed random assassin. Thanks for the summary Agan and thanks for the welcome, Phantom. In RL I am gulping tea and rushing off to work but will post more later.

Well here we go. Welcome our new tombmates. And it seems like we have things to address. Personally, I could believe Boro telling the truth - or at least truth in some modified form (maybe he's keeping something small to himself, but otherwise, fine). He dropped those comments before which might point to him being right. Also, what Rikae said about him and Nerwen possibly establishing some kind of connection, I don't see it as unlikely either.

They could have, if they both knew about it beforehand. I.e. if Nerwen's "dream" really came via a PM, the PM (even if it was sent through the Mod, as I would assume) might have been originally sent by somebody else. (As in, person 1 sends a PM to the Mod "I want to pass these two dreams of mine to a random villager" - would not even have to be specifically addressed to Nerwen, then the Mod passes it on.) In that case, both the sender and the receiver would know there is a person who communicates across the thread (especially a person who knows Lottie is a dreamed Wolf), and could specifically be looking for in-game signals.

Of course, that working with the assumption that Boro would have something to do with the "dream" as well (if such a thing even exists) - but maybe he is just a dirty lowly assassin (effective however )

As for the Living's idea to check Lalaith, we still have time for that until the Night, but it would be one fairly sensible option, right? Because it isn't like we are very clear on her role.

For the Daily business though, I really hope the Living are able to organize the voting in such a way that we can signal them. We should in any case really, really agree on unanimous vote.
