It looks like something of the kind, since he wasn't sure if he was, in fact, responsible for her death. He did ask the Dead thread to check her, though, so maybe it only works when offing someone with a special role (i.e., wolf or Gifted, in this game)? And that might explain why he chose Lalaith - he would've wanted to chose someone who could have been a wolf but could not have been a Gifted, and Lalaith would fit that description decently well.

Ah, I guess that can be taken for confirmation on how the role functions. It only works if he gets a Wolf.

That makes Mac a guarantee, but we don't know about Lalaith since there were only two kills.

So... done watching that awfulness. These days it's really only morbid curiosity that keeps me watching. Anyway...

Boro's reveal doesn't ring true. One or both of he & Nerwen are lying. Nerwen gets special dreams, plus Boro gets free wolf-assassinations? Nah, not buying that.

Unless both strange events are a result of Boro. (Upon successful Wolf-kill the Seer's dreams go to someone else?)

But of course the more obvious possibility is that Nerwen pretended to be an Ordo receiving dreams to cover her own Seership.

Yes, but that wouldn't have helped her a whole lot... most likely the wolves would have gone for her anyway.
Which they may have even done, (if Boro does get to assassinate) and there was a ranger save. In which case, they're aware and will take her out toNight.

Hang on, going to look through yesterDay again...

Boro #408

"I sure hope this special unknown role isn't some maniac assassin. It would be nice to have a weapon against the wolves that can bite them in the night, but it would be most dreadful if it was just kind of blind night-time killer. This could be a really quick game if there's 2 wolf packs, and a blood-thirsty night maniac. It begs the question is this only a once every other night killer? Or maybe that "individual itch" in the DAY 2 narration was the hint, that the target (either Rune or the phantom) was the same, and thus only 2 kills."

From yesterDay. So there's that.

Anyway, I've been looking for any mention of Lalaith (from Nerwen or Boro) and nada. Well, until Boro's "Lalaith? Puzzling. " toDay.

Why Lalaith, anyway? Eomer and Nilp seemed to be more on the radar as possible wolves.

Ok, Boro just now:

"someone who seemed to know too much, but I judged she wasn't the seer."

I assume this refers to Lal's post that phantom quoted as a possible reason the wolves would have killed her.

Anyway, I see Nerwen picked up on this:
"naming those three as looking innocent *could* have looked like a hint- but only to a pack that did not contain Macalaure. Now Lottiewolf says that Mac was one of her rivals, and that it was his pack, not hers, that killed Rikae."
So that's good.
