Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
Squelching through the misty moisty bog, intermittenly wafting up hot reeky air. Searching, searching, but what is lost? Have to keep looking. Feet sticking, arms reaching for stunted trees to pull free. Gagging on the rotten heat blown on the face. A figure ahead shrouded in mist, with head turned back.

Jerking awake from the dream, the villager felt the hot reeky breath of the wolves standing over them. "It's.......!" But whatever 'it' is was never heard.

Morning came again, the wind biting cold. The villagers made their way past the Inn, through the cemetary, along the river to the easterly side of the island to the home of the missing villager.

There was no need to search. In the front lawn was a large wooden tub filled with water and apples, a figure kneeling into it, no doubt drowned. As the villagers pulled the body gently out, the head lolled back with eyes missing.

Alas, I feared this would be the fate of Cailin today. I thought it fairly obvious that she were the seer. Notice how at the end I tried to get her, be asking all, to give us their suspicions. I was hoping that she knew at least one more or maybe could shed light on who was innocent. What I don't understand is why Boromir and SpM brought attention to it by saying they weren't going to bring attention to it.
