Not sure I buy this one. With so low numbers in the village, if I really exaggerate, it almost does not matter whether one is a Seer or an Ordo, and "collateral damage" of one Ordo is still quite a setback for the village.

Well yes, I am not underestimating him either, but I still find it quite risky. I mean - imagine him dreaming of all three wolves, but the very Night he reveals the third one he, by some bad luck, dies. It's very bold, but also very risky. No disrespect to Menel in the aspect of bravery, but it will be a very bold move.

Well yes, that's true, and it remains of question why he did not dream of him - unless he indeed did not dream of him and continue to suspect him only to mislead the wolves, though I find it overcombinated. It may be he simply did not have time to dream of all he suspected.

Well, not quite sure, Nog. As you can see from my post, it is possible that he dreamt of Rikae on Night 1 and Shasta on Night 2, and if Shasta is innocent and Menel revealed that, it would explain why he suddenly ceased to suspect him. Your explanation of things also sounds possible, but surely not 100% certain. And I am not aware whether he referred to you that often; in fact, he once referred to LG and mistook her with you. Maybe, but not necessarily sure.
