OOC- I had a small emergency that kept me busy most of yesterday, which is why I'm so late posting today. - OOC
I too was curious to see Sleepy, Celuien, and Zali alive, and Diamond dead. Thinking about it, Nogrod's explaination makes the most sense, which could mean several things.
Sleepy and Celuien are innocent, and the orcs didn't know who Zali our protector would pick to protect, so they killed Diamond (for the reasons listed by Nogrod)
Sleepy and Celuien are innocent, and the orc Zali didn't know who was protected.
Sleepy is innocent, and the orcs Celuien and Zali didn't know if he would be protected or not.
Sleepy is an orc (along with Nogrod), and intended for Zali to Celuien.
Now these are just possiblities. I personally think the dream of Sleepy was true, though Zali's continued life and constant reassertion of her status make me nervous. Not only that, but her continued statement of her surprise is sounding more and more contrived.

I don't think I agree just yet. The village isn't in such dire straights that we need to sacrifice a gifted. Really, by your own assesment, we seem to be in a rather good position. The presence of the ranger may be keeping the orcs from going after the ones they really want to go after, like Sleepy and Celuien. If Zali isn't the ranger, then the true ranger should stay hidden a little longer. If we lynch an orc today, the reveal would probably wholly uneccessary. If we don't, then, and only then, would I say the ranger come forward.
