I think the slice of luck he was afforded came about when the mob decided not to adopt my strategy -- or, for that matter, any strategy -- and to instead hang me on the "evidence" that I had developed a strategy...
Fordim: "I have a way of hunting down werewolves."
Werewolf: "He has a strategy for hunting down werewolves. He must be a werewolf."
Villagers: "Hang him! Hang him!"
Odd logic indeed!
