So... do you think the BQ has this same power, if it's the same as normal chess? That the BQ sees, hunts, and kills at night? It seems like the odds would be stacked in xer favor, if that was the case...

And I really don't know why Sally's impersonating a Hunter any more. I mean, I thought I did, but now I really have no clue. I think she's innocent, so I can't for the life of me figure out why she's pretending to be a role we don't know about. Unless the WQ has the ability to turn an innocent into a cohort? You know, like a pawn gets queened, or whatever? You'd think Shasta might have mentioned that, though.

Edit: ditto Izzy; I don't think Shasta would do something like that.
