[ interesting to open this forum with such a clear declaration of distrust, but there’s valuable information in here still. ]
Thank you for the invitation.
My companion spoke to the Shepherd, or attempted to, at least. He said,
Thank you for the invitation.
My companion spoke to the Shepherd, or attempted to, at least. He said,
“The wolves are the cost of the covenant. Are their claws deadlier than the Manor's falsehoods? Is bloodshed a crueler fate than damnation? My flock is protected by our oath. The wolves are signs that that covenant holds true. Each death is a tithe paid. The wolves are not punishment. They are proof. The fire speaks, and the fire chooses. I do not play children's games. I am simply a host. The Manor toyed with its pawns. But here, the pawns play with fire. Tell me which burns truer."
Thank you, Ani -- and thank you everyone for the opportunity, I'm very honored to be here.
[he's cried about it minimum 8 times and maybe thrown up once but! he's here!]
I can corroborate the existence of the same necromancer, though I think Ani's word should be sufficient, at this point. We also have these rumors about a witness to a Diamond leaving two of the crime scenes, which is interesting, to say the least. Last year we had no witnesses to the crimes, aside from doctors.
I also have a list of everyone's roles during September, in case the weapons used corroborate.

We have two votes per round, correct?
One, I assume, will put Saber away.
Do we have any suspects for the other?
The lead on the vampires seems ... not moot, but gone cold, considering that Paul was not bitten and Giles was attacked rather more brutally than would be typical.

[ Thanks to Silco for sparing him the humiliation of having to be Merlin anywhere Tony Stark can see - sorry to Ani for the alternative but he's running out of options and co-chairs gotta co-chair ]
The information about the diamonds came from within the clubs, and not from Saber.
I don't have original sources for either of the tip-offs - I'll see what more I can find out - but one claims to have overheard it in passing. I don't have confirmation for this, but I suspect what that actually means is it's knowledge gained as the consequence of a role
In which case it's a valid lead and would help us to narrow our focus

Really? I have another source within the Hearts for the Diamond tip-off -- the one about Castiel. It's possible that they could be more than one person as a witness? Or at least as an informant.
There's more than one wolf and, hopefully, more than one doctor. It stands to reason there are multiples of other roles.

I agree. I have reason to suspect there are two of at least one support role.
I’m also inclined to believe there are at least one to two wolves per team, based on the number of attacks and the rules of any “game,” magic or otherwise, which demands a measure of order amongst the chaos.

I've just got confirmation that the tip off about Castiel came second hand from a source within the Hearts. I'd guess we have the same name, but I'll check in with that person and contact you privately after.
The other says they caught the overheard the information from amongst the dispersing crowd. Has no way of identifying who it came from, but claims that whoever said it claimed to have seen the diamond fleeing the scene themselves.
Which would imply that person was awake during or shortly after the murders.
[ Which, from what he can tell, doesn't seem to be how that's supposed to works. ]

Mayhaps. I would imagine he mislikes the idea of any us breaking the bonds of the commune or covenant.

It’s good of you to ask.
He’s as well as he can be — and a deft interlocutor, besides, so it seems only the words themselves will haunt him, for the moment.
The attacks also seem to lack a pattern indicative of a singular guiding hand, for better or for worse.

And we've been told there are two wolves in the Diamond team, responsible for the deaths of Giles and Castiel, both dramatic in execution.
