WW LXXXIX: The Terror of Tol Fuin

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

These are things to say before I do my read-through of Nerwen's post (I may not post an analysis if I don't see anything that stands out, since I have previously analysed her already):

I would like to believe that the priority targets of the baddies are:

1. The Seer (a risky proposition, as has been pointed out by my mother).
2. The Ranger (but I repeat my doubt: how do you find her?)
3. Known innocents (and we have, in my opinion, people closest to that in this village, although doubts have been cast on their status.)
4. Targets for future misdirection (to enable them to retain the initiative and gain some disguise--but this is only if 1) and 3) (and 2), to a lesser extent) have been taken care of.)

My read-through is for the express purpose of checking to see if 1) and 2) are possible, but I think that for our baddie-slayers they are perhaps, I repeat, the closest thing to 3) and perhaps 1) to them. So things that come to mind are:

• Nerwen is a more compelling kill, due to 1) and/or 2) (again, the reason for a readthrough).
• There is indeed a baddie among the baddie-slayers.
• The baddies are casting reasonable doubt on the baddie-slayers (falls under 4))
• The baddie-slayers are now barking up the wrong tree (once again, falls under 4)).

Gah. Don't I just hate myself. I need to read the entire thread carefully.
