Grendelien has just left Hobbiton.
When I first wrote about who I suspected the Shaman was, I had Celuien in mind, which is why I was able to narrow my list so much. I realized the next day that you probably weren't the Shaman because of your pretending tone. It's a good thing I didn't adhere to my predictions because I was very wrong.
Just thought I'd reveal who I had in mind at the time because I said I would.

I'm glad to hear it. If I weren't believable, the act would never have worked. Apparently, the Orcs believed me too.

It's a good thing that the scenario played out the way it did because I have no doubt that Roa and Caran would have been able to get me lynched if Zali hadn't come forward (or if someone hadn't managed to prove my innocence).

Yeah, you had us fooled, too, the night Zali protected you. I started thinking Naria was the Shaman yesterDay, but I was afraid Zali would be protecting her, so I thought I'd get her out of the way first. By that point I knew the only way we'd win would be if I got the dream...

Hmm, I suppose all this is taking away from the suspense...

I retract my previous statements and reassert that I am not an orc!

I'm no orc! I play the harp, for goodness sake! I ask you, would an orc play a harp?

This fact amused me a great amount. The first night that I modded in place of Farael, it was so terribly tempting to have Roa and Caran come out and sing a lament together for Diamond - they were both aspiring musicians, for crying out loud! But I didn't think that would be entirely fair to the orcs.

Good game, everyone! Glad I could help mod it. It was enjoyable.

The Saucepan Man has been trapped in the Barrow!
Question

OK Orcs, I can understand why you didn't kill Zali, although it was a risky strategy. But why didn't you kill off the virtually known innocents, like Sleepy and Nogrod, in her place?

Hello all, and yes I am your Shaman!!

I picked Caran last because I had this bitter taste in my mouth that I just couldn't get rid of no matter how much mouth wash I used.
