Alright, I should be around far more toDay, but will still have to vote a bit early.

Looking at the narration it sounds to me like there is only one spiderling. The whole "you're not alone thing" sounds more like "she's not alone because she has Shelob with her", not "she's not alone cause there's another spiderling". And the "go back and play with the others" thing sounds like she's supposed to go and play with us (the villagers) not with other spiderlings.

And yeah, looks like Frodo was bitten. Here's what the admin thread says so that we're all on the same page:

Instead, he is able to PM with Frodo during the Night (if he holds his guess until after Nightfall, he can PM for the remainder of the Night) where Frodo would normally turn into a spawn of Shelob. (Note: Frodo is not told the identity of Shelob, so he would not be able to give it to Sam.) At the end of that Night, Frodo dies.
2. If/When Sam finds Frodo’s body, he will strike out at Shelob’s lair. While he cannot kill Shelob on his own, he has the strength and anger to prevent Shelob from making an attack that Night. He will then spend his Evening with Frodo, and when Frodo dies Sam will spend the next Night in mourning/angst.
In game terms, this means that the Night after Frodo is attacked, both Sam and Shelob will be out of power, and the Night after that Sam will be unable to stop Shelob from attacking anyone.

If Frodo is lynched, Sam will lose his powers for that Night, regardless of whether Frodo has been stung. Shelob will suffer no ill effects.
So lots of pressure on Sam to guess correctly.

I'll be back in a bit. Wanna see what happens with Kate and Castle.
