"

A conspiracy theorist or not, I find it odd that Fea took the quote to be directed to her.

Actually I took that as a purely in-character response to her occupation, a "shepherdess with a penchant for alliteration". Didn't think it was that odd.

I'd also like an explanation of what exactly the Great Seal meant in that update post. Seems a little odd to interpret it that anytime a hunter is created a wolf dies, Lalaith...that's too clumsy for the great LMP. I'm confused on what exactly happened last night, and whether or not the Phantom selected his kill or had it picked for him, and by whom.

Changed my mind somewhat on the Fea thing (Jenny made me look). I thought that, character or not, it would have been odd to remark on something said previously and not directed at her; but since Fea's post was directly after Nilp's it looks a lot more normal.

Might cross one of the list...

Mormegil: funny you should say that; we may see eye-to-eye after all...

My schedule at the Healer's convention may keep me quite late today, and I don't know when I'll next be able to return. Little newly born babies are awfully time consuming.

So, since I've managed a break for the next few minutes, this is the only opportunity I'll have for a vote.

His defensiveness alarms me. And I still don't find it entirely impossible that Saucy was wrong, despite the last two revealed wolves not being on his list.

Eomer's responses to the accusations against him feel right. He isn't excused, but I too am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

I haven't time now to respond to the various theories and suspicions flying around. All I can tell you is that, like my ancestors before me, I have been passed over by any cursing or sorcery and remain an entirely ordinary villager.

This is what I interpreted from LMP's post - and I think what Cailin also thought:

Phantom was picked as Hunter by the GW but also, before he could get his choice in, he was picked to die by the wolves.
So, a wolf died with him.
If the GW had created a Hunter who had not been picked as wolf-kill, then no wolf would have died.

I say this because I'm not sure whether I should make my accusation in public, if she does turn out to be good.

Please make it public, dearie. Can't have secrets from your mum, now can you?

And truly, if you really have such a strong case, I cannot think it anyone else than a) the EW slipping up or b) the GW wanting to be found.

But of course, you should trust your own judgement. Whether the wizards battle today or tomorrow, I believe the village currently has a major advantage. The only danger I can see is that the identity of the Good Wizard could lead to the Seer.
