It was clear that most pairs of fearful eyes were nailed on Anguirel the Merry, the Town Fletcher Roa and the Tall Doctor Mormegil. It looked like a space was opening around the three of them.

MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! That's right! Fear me! FEAR MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
*coughcough* Excuse me.
I think the most prevalent point in Nogrod's message to us before he left was this: Nothing is what it seems. Don't go with the usual trains of thought (I mean, most of us have been around long enough that we've started following a routine, aptly noted by our now departed guest), and suspect EVERYBODY.
So let's be bold, daring even, and actually try to look at evidence from here on out. It's there, people, and not just in the narration.
For example (and keep in mind that I don't have many posts to go on right now) Gil-galad's behavior is unnesecessarily attention grabbing. "But wait!" you say, "Would a wolf dare incriminate himself this early?" Yes, I say. Because it's worked in past villages. And a bold wolf is as dangerous as a quiet wolf.
Of course, he could just be on the wolves' side, and not a wolf himself. I do believe that some among may wish to help the beasts.
Or he could just be acting out his role.
My point is that there's info a plenty, and we should be looking for it, not brushing things off as just banter, or roleplay, or any other such nonsense. I'm going to start keeping summaries now, and I suggest others do the same. (For one, it saves on work later, and for two, it makes you actually look for the point of any single post.)
