Ah, the death of Jenny. So sad...
I think going after Spawn was the right move (even if she turned out not to be the Shaman...) but I think that by not killing Zali that night, it made it easier for us to continue to make the mistake of not killing her. Although we really did have a good plan. If Naria had held off one Day more on dreaming of Zali...

NIGHT THREE

We should kill Dancing Spawn tonight. I strongly suspect she is the Shaman. Zali can't protect her tonight, and she won't be able to protect herself toMorrow Night, either, so for all intents and purposes she is merely an ordo. They're both definitely known innocents, but as Spawn might be the Shaman, it's better to kill her.

Now, if Spawn is the Shaman, this looks very bad for you. If only we'd been able to kill Spawn last Night! I hope I did all right on analyzing you toDay; I began to feel sure Spawn was the Shaman quite early on, and figured I should distance myself from you somewhat. Of course, at that point I had no idea anyone was on to Jenny...

At least Sleepy seems to have bought some of the lines Jenny was feeding them at the end there... She certainly went out with a bang.

I have to go eat dinner... I'll be back in two hours or so.

IN fact, the longer we leave Zali alive, the more suspicion she gains. Yes, she could still foil us, but I have a way around that... We start killing the quiet ones. Then it also draws suspicion on Nogrod. It could come back on me, but I feel fairly certain that I can stay alive long enough to pull off the last part. Zali will keep insisting she's the protector. When we get few enough villagers, which ever one of us is the most suspicious at the time (most likely me) can come forward and say I was the true protector, and I was trying to avoid being killed long enough to properly protect the village. If no one buys it and I get lynched, kill Zali. If everyone buys it, obviously don't be the first. Once Zali dies, they'll know I was lying and lynch me, but you can escape long enough to win.

What do you think?

Would you like to send the choice to Farael, or should I?

I can send it right now. Just one thing- If Spawn isn't the Shaman, we should kill Zali the next night, because the Shaman will most likely Dream of her.

Yes, agreed. Now, we're down to two... should we still be as ruthless in killing each other off, should we come under suspicion? And tomorrow, assuming Spawn is the Shaman, I'm assuming you'll offer a defense of yourself - do you have any advice on how I should respond?

Man this is nerve-wracking... but also incredibly fun!

Still, think like an ordo- if my defense seems reasonable, back up a little and focus elsewhere. Otherwise, don't attack too viciously, or it will be turned around on you.

One other thing- if I do get lynched tomorrow, it will be up to you if you want to carry through the Zali plan. Obviously you'll have to leave out the last bit, since you won't have anyone to sacrifice.

I know! The wolf is my favorite role to get. Does that make me evil?

Must head off to sleep now... if I think of anything else, I'll PM you in the morning (and of course if you have any other ideas/words of advice, please do PM me!). Otherwise, good luck toMorrow! After our failed kill last Night and Jenny's death toDay, we're due for some good luck...
