And so ye candle maker arrives late... there's a new invention I've been working on - a candle that burns at both ends. Not quite perfected yet, but eventually I think it will work. And already so much to read. Which I haven't read. But will after adding a few rambling thoughts to the discussion.
At this point, I think our best chances as a village lie with the scrying and seering. The usual daytime teamwork patterns can't be counted upon as a way to look for evil since there's no way to know if the wolves know each other's identities - and I would doubt that at this early point that they would as there's too much chance of flux from one side to the other. By the same token, it's high unlikely that they know the EW's identity. And other sneaky behaviors can't even be counted on because the wolves are perfectly replaceable while the village is still this large, and for all we know might be out there as cannon fodder to distract and confuse the search for the EW, who's really the one that has to be discovered to stabilize the werewolf population flux and make it possible for the village to be victorious.
I guess there's one thing, though. I'm not going to go by werewolf lore too much of who makes a good what because I think it has distracted my ancestors too much in the past... and I think that there has been a long enough gap between my family's witnessing werewolf infestations to make that possible this time.
