I must say, Lalaith, your vote for Esgal, while understandable, wasn't that helpful...but I saw its motive, and I'm not going to pursue it, for now.

dancing spawn's death was a surprisingly subtle choice for the wolf-kin, but it has at least narrowed down our shortlist.

I am assured, by every due process of the law, that Hookbill-who escaped our pitchforks yesterday-richly deserves the Memorial Gallows on all counts. I am certain that he is the second wolf, and thus draw up the following charges:

Three counts of murder and conspiracy to murder
Six counts of perjury
Impersonation
Protectionism in tree-frog dealing

The only question is, should we hang him and have done with it, or track down his lupine accomplice through reasoning while we're at it? Whatever happens, we should hang Hookbill at the end of the day, but should we tie another suspect alongside him? Only if it's a universally decided suspect, of course.

I fear the third wolf is a talker, a reasoner, a cunning piece of scum, in all probability a lawyer. Someone not unlike myself. For a start, I think that butcher's too dashed eloquent, though my view is somewhat coloured...coloured. Brings me to the Artist, Miss Fea-steered us towards the innocent Nilp...

All in all, I'm really undecided about the third wolf, but if we don't hang Hookbill by sundown I swear I'll pick up a particularly large and sharp legal document and do him in myself...
