But Shasta is dead?

You mean Eonwe? Funny, I mix Eonwe up with *you* all the time!

Okay, so:

Scenario 1: Brinn & Eonwe are wolves. Lottie is an ordo. Real seer is still out there and hasn't commented yet. Worst case, is Kath.

Scenario 2: Brinn is the seer, Kath is a wolf, Eonwe is an ordo, who is happy he's been saved Lottie is a wolf who decided to drop the charade and not fake counter-reveal.

Scenario 3: Brinn is the seer, Kath is a wolf, Eonwe and Lottie are both relieved ordos, and Kath's fellow has not weighed in.

Did I get them all?

Brinn's weird "caught in a trap" comments early on and general caution were potentially seerish (why I wanted to give her a protective "cobbler-vote" on day 2) but ... also wolfish, and her claimed dreams don't leave much of a trail.

Prudent to wait.

My favourite part of this is that if Brin's reveal is true, one of the suspected Seers is actually a wolf.

Scenario 4, Brinn's a wolf, Eonwe is innocent - wouldn't happen, right? A wolf Brinn would sit back and let the village lynch Eonwe today.

A Brinn-Eonwe pack might feel out of options and ready for a desperate play. Brinn would have been unlikely to survive more than a day after Eonwe was lynched.

Uh ... that's usually the case with people who look seerish, and given the size of he village, kind of inevitable.

Greenie's #1413 - This is so awesome. If Brinn isn't the Seer, she would have been preparing to do a fake gifted reveal at some point right from the start; don't know how likely that is.
And if she is, the wolves probably killed me just to frame Steve, + starting to suspect Ka, + leaving no trail to the others.

So, going with scenario 3, who do we think Kath's fellow would be?

I would love it to be Boro just because his innocent-playing-seer-getting-two-wolves-lynched show would be so delightful (actually, it's delightful regardless of his role).

It would have been a great move for him. I was thinking Lottie could be the Child, but that's largely guessing.
