2. Then again, Jenny's clever. She may have counted on us not believing her, and so deliberately called her teammates for what they were.

3. Also, as a side note: please remember that we don't know Zali's role for certain. Right now all we have is her word that she's the protector. Since anyone can recieve dreams, it may be that she, as an orc, recieved the dream about Jenny, and bluffed as the protector. She would know who had been protected, too, because that's who she tried to kill before. It could have been a ploy to drive the true protector out into the open after being foiled so early. Which makes me wonder, if Zali is lying, should the true protector reveal themselves? Or should they keep quiet to foil more plans? I certainly wouldn't want to lose a gifted so easily.

Numbering mine...

1. You are right, that's a possibility, and not very far fetched either.

2. That's kind of what I was trying to say...

3. A good point. I have also written earlier, that having or revealing a dream is no quarantee of innocence, but this particular chance you bring up is noteworthy - maybe Zali's "confession" about the earlier night was a slip of tongue, and she told us the truth about a missed attack on Spawn? More to the point: trying to pose as a ranger could be a trial to drive the true ranger out.

But if you think that through, you will see more miracles: if Zali is a wolf, she could have mentioned Spawn just as a point to be affirmed the next night (maybe the real "save" was not Spawn? The ranger would not disagree about that openly - although the wolves might like her/him to do it). Her innocence quaranteed this way? But then there is the question, why didn't she protect her last night?

This brings me to the post by Roa, while I was writing this one:

The problem with this is that we need to look at the behavior of the known orc as well as the death so we can get a general direction to go in. Maybe the whole thing was a rather large mistake, and they want us to ignore it. I'm actually somewhat surprised you'd suggest that.

What do you mean by the thing I have bolded in your post? A mistake? I can't see a mistake here...

Think Roa, think!

EDIT: This one should be before Celuien's post: I made a mistaking quote/edit -stuff again... happily I had another window open, and could bring this back...
