I think you mis-interpret Rikae. She's not saying, "might be guilty, might be innocent", she's saying (IMO) that Rune seems to have a special role, good or bad. As it's known from experience, it's sometimes tricky to see the difference between gifteds and wolves; both may seem jumpy. What bothers me in her statement, is that she openly speculates about gifteds. Why would an innocent villager try to give wolves any ideas of the gifted's identities ie help the wolves in their who's gifted-speculation...? If I was an innocent Rikae and suspected that Rune's either gifted/fanged, I'd phrase it differently, for the village's sake, and wouldn't mention the gifteds at all. Either she's a rash innocent or a wolf or a cobbler.

Rikae seems always a bit too eager to launch a campaign against Ang after she's been accused to take the attention away from herself, but actually an innocent person could do that too. (That's wishy-washy for you, morm, I guess and that's what is called the (in)famous Lommy-flipflopping - however I personally think it's just thinking aloud and not single-mindedly concentrating on one aspect and forgetting the others. )

Overall, Rikae certainly needs to be watched.

I also suspect morm slightly. If there was a slip-under-the-radar-mormegil, it would be him in this game. He's much more quiet and - if I may say without offending - much less aggressive than usual.

As to the dagger guy... I think s/he's on our side, but s/he's a bit tricky since s/he seems to have a "license to kill". I think that clearly shows from the narration, s/he sees that Cel did not transform to a wolf, wouldn't that mean s/he was after wolves? But we can't known if s/he has unlimited license to kill, only Night1 license to kill or just one license to kill to use whenever s/he wants. I personally think the night1-thing most probable: this game would turn into mindless slaughtering, if s/he had unlimited license to kill + s/he'd have too much power and if s/he had just one kill to use whenever s/he will, I doubt s/he would have wanted to use it on Night2, when there's but the posts of one day to support your decidions, unless s/he was under serious murder/lynch threat.

Those are the first thoughts that popped to my head, unfortunately I must go now (since my speech lessons' feedback awaits and then I'll move from school to Noggie's place), but it will be only 2 hours at maximum that you'll have to wait for the return of my shiningly sheepish presence!
