The difference between Rikae and Nilp / Mith and Fea, is that the latter two claim to be on our side. Of course, this does not mean they are. Rikae and Nilp don't look like they're on our side, but does that mean they aren't? In Nilp's case I could indeed imagine that he needs to be lynched in order for us to benefit (then again, maybe he has to be lynched so that the duck(s) benefit in some way), but I have a hard time believing that Rikae has the best of the village in mind. I don't think of her as a duck or related to one, though. The question is therefore, do we want to lynch a likely cobbler? With three ducks dead already, we might be able to afford wasting the kill.
