Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

For attacking two of BG's remaining confirmed innocents.

KukriKhan's death was particularly interesting. I can think of two explanations for the unprecedented MO. One (already suggested by Kukri) is that the secret role has been inactive up till now, and just started operating, possibly triggered by a recent event. Whether that secret role would be pro-town or anti-town I don't know. Two is that it is a result of one of Takeda Shingen's secret abilities. If convinced by Banquo, CountArach may have decided Kukri needed to go fast and had the means to ensure it happened.

I follow Woad&Fangs' logic that we need to focus on those who are not on BG's innocence list, and not our one surviving swordsmaster or our commander. Unfortunately that list is not as short as I'd like, and he and I are both on it. I will gladly duel anyone of reasonable suspicion and not already high on the lynch list. As a veteran samurai, I expect I've a decent chance against the baddies, and since my innocence is not confirmed anyway, I'm more expendable than some and it's worth risking my life.

Also, I find some merit in White Eyes' accusation against Rhyfelwyr. It's possible that the ninja have low duel scores instead of high ones as most seem to have assumed; otherwise the prospect of taking them out by duels would be kind of pointless. Unless there are others I didn't notice as I skimmed back, Rhyfelwyr's challenge by Glenn is the only one to result in the challenger being night-killed before the duel could take place: possibly a ninja attempt to ensure a vulnerable member's survival.
