Well, once again, whatever happened...that was nice. We're in a lot better position than I thought we would be. As in, we're not all but doomed.

Apologies to Mac... ><

So for some reason I got a PM at the start of toDay telling me that there are 2 wolves toDay. Which I thought would have been pretty obvious. I'm wondering if this suggests that the numbers can still change? Or our lovely mods are just being consistent.

So one of the many things I am confused about at this point - why did Izzy call herself the "seer tracker" but she turns up as the "seer's apprentice"? I know I'm being a bit nit-picky (maybe more than a bit, whatevs), but "tracker" is hardly a synonym for "apprentice" or something. Perhaps she just didn't want to reveal all about her role?

Her being the "seer's apprentice" suggests to me that she was indeed on our side. It seems more specific than "seer tracker", and the possibility of her being able to communicate with the seer makes sense then. So likely she was telling the truth about Nilp. Though he could certainly be another cobbler.

Why was Izzy killed (I assume by the wolves)? Yadda yadda. I'd guess because the wolves wanted to take out someone who was generally considered innocent but who they were sure to be able to kill without consequences.

Probably not wolves, in order of surety:
Lari if her hunter claim is to be believed. I rather thought the wolves would go after her tonight as with 3 left and a good day yesterDay they'd be in pretty good shape to risk it. But...
Nilp per Izzy...maybe a cobbler

Possibly wolves:
Nogrod
Fea
Mith...she is/was the "phantom's apprentice". We don't know if gifteds can be turned...with the number of gifteds in this game maybe, but *shrug*. I am wondering why she's still alive. Are the wolves afraid they will fail to kill her again? We still know nothing about her role except the name of it and the vague things she has claimed to have done, such as "delivering ducks". I can't help but be bothered by that.

4 against 2...with possibly a cobbler around...this is going to be a long Day.

To bed...
