Well, those are sad tidings indeed. Folwren provided many a thoughtful comment during the day, and I was as confident of her innocence as I have been about anyone's. Her insights - and her protection at night - will be sorely missed.

Jenny – 1 (Elu 1)
Nogrod – 1 (Firefoot 2)
Valier – 1 (Roa 3)
Mithalwen – 1 (Valier 4)
Sleepy – 3 (Sleepy 5, Mith 6, Nogrod 7)

Did not vote: Gandalf, Eonwe, Jenny, Folwren

Let me say that I was rather disappointed when I found that you had chosen to go ahead and lynch Sleepy. Most wolves aren't going to vote for themselves, not at this point in the game where a vote for just about anyone could be justified. He called it a "safe vote" - meaning that he wasn't gifted - but come on, how is it helping the villagers if we vote ourselves out?? We have to focus on catching wolves here. There aren't that many of us. Now, we're down to 2/3 villagers and 1/3 wolves - not what I would call good odds. If we mess up just two more times, the wolves have got us. Now, the seer has had three dreams - now, if all three of the subjects of those dreams were alive, I might almost see some validity in the seer revealing themselves. But if one or more of them are dead, then no.

However we do it, we villagers have some hard-core wolf hunting to do. We can't afford to screw up.

So here's who we have left:

Probably Innocent:
Mithalwen
Roa
And me, of course

Suspicious:
Jenny
Eonwe
Nogrod

Unknown:
Gandalf
Valier
Elu

Nogrod - perhaps my reasons for voting for you yesterday weren't the best, but it's been the best scenario that I have been able to find of possible wolvishness. I still haven't let that idea of a Eownwe-Nogrod alliance go, but I would like to explore other possibilities today. I would especially like to hear more concrete ideas from Gandalf, Valier, and Elu - but I want to hear them from everyone. If we don't start discussing better, the wolves will win almost guaranteed.

I will be looking into Folwren's death more later, to see if I can't find anything other than her apparent innocence and helpfulness to the village as incentive to kill her.
