[The Saucepan Man]

Well, it’s very quiet today. Which is to be expected, I suppose, with so few villagers left. Yet I am surprised that Nogrod is not more vocal. It’s unlike him to be so quiet.

If Cailín is the Duck, then she has played a blinder and flown almost completely beneath our radars. If so, she almost deserves to win. But I am inclined to think her innocent.

I am also inclined to view Kath as innocent, for the reasons which I stated yesterday. Her voting record looks wholly un-Duckish to me. I would have expected a Duck to vote for spawn following Glirdan’s revelation.

Which leaves me with Nogrod. And everything points to him as being the transformed Duck. The change in style after Day 1. The reaction to the Mith/Glirdan revelations and his vote for spawn on Day 2. A Duck would presumably have thought Glirdan the true Owl, as he had named spawn as a Duck, and would be concerned not to be seen trying to save spawn. It therefore looks a very Duckish vote, particularly as, unbeknownst to us, there would still be two Ducks left following spawn’s death. The attempt to confuse yesterday by clinging to the possibility of a Goosey Mith and, to an extent, today by seeking to implicate me. And also his relativeness quietness today, which is unusual for him. I suspect that he is lurking, waiting to see which way village opinion is turning.

I am tempted to vote for him right now. Yet I will hold off, as we are likely to get only one chance at this and I would like to hear the thoughts of the others first.
