Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
After looking at Kitanna's posts, I am rather torn. Some good arguments are made, but I'm not really sure that they stand up. Her early and fairly confident suspicions of Kuru are quite uncanny and disturbing to me. This more than anything else speaks as a wolf covering her tracks rather than a dead-on innocent.

I think that this quote of Fea's was misunderstood:
Quote:
I can't make up my mind whether I trust or distrust her. Basically, in my mind, if I think you're guilty, I don't worry, and if I think you're innocent, I dont' worry. I've got you placed. It's when I'm unsure that I look closer. I'm unsure of Kitanna.
The whole part that I bolded goes together, sort of an aside from the analysis of Kitanna to explain some things. She isn't talking specifically about Kitanna in any of the bolded part.
Quote:
Her only open suspicion was on Morm, whom she voted also...
I noticed this also, and was intending to go back and look closer at Morm as well. Morm is one of those people that I have a bad habit of being inclined to trust right off the bat, which is definitely a bad thing. So I want to look at him closer.
Quote:
And Valar forbid, that as I seem to be trusting Firefoot even more and more, that she really is the innocent villager I think she is... Well, one has to choose sometimes.
I might say the same of you, Nogrod...

I agree with you Firefoot.

Kitanna does look suspicious, and Morm, because of his seeming innocentness (and Boro's open backing) would need a closer look. And there's something in Diamond too, as you pointed out.

And this is just our plague right now: there's only one wolf within us, and we start to suspect all around us - and feel guilty to trust anyone...

Still I just believe you two (Firefoot & Morm) innocent. Maybe that's a bad sign, but both of you can't be wolves!

Good night, everyone!
