[The Saucepan Man]

Oh woe is me! A terrible misfortune has befallen our camp, so it has. I should have spoken up sooner, for I saw it in the cards. But I thought that they had mispoken, so I did. But, had I but looked further, the signs were unmistakable. The Tower speaks of ruin being visited upon us. Yet, there is hope, so there is. The High Priestess and Strength indicates that there are those among us who may aid us in our struggle and the Wheel of Fortune tells us that our fate is not yet sealed.

Now, who said anything about wolves? My own reading is that the faeries have come among us to reclaim their land. Most likely faerie changelings or, saints preserve us, banshees, whose wail can drain the life from those who sleep, so it can.

Indeed, Mistress Lommy. What reference did you catch there? All I heard was that "several" fiends were among us. Do you have some special knowledge in this matter?

That said, I agree that we should make no assumptions and act on the basis of the worst case scenario. Then again, surely that is so obvious, so it is, that there is little need for it to be spoken. Regardless of the number of evil spirits among us, our aim should be to preserve as many innocent Irelander lives as possible, should it not?

I think it unlikely that there would ever be no lynch. It would have to be agreed upon by all, and it makes no sense at all for us to forego our one shot at the fiends who beset us. Yet individuals may still avail themselves of the opportunity to withhold their vote. There are a number of reasons why someone might wish to do this, depending upon the circumstances, and not necessarily because they are enemies. I do not rule it out, but will judge anyone who takes up this opportunity on the situation prevailing at the time they do so.

And now I shall revert once more to my cards in the hope that they will better aid me to search out the changelings among us.
