The scholar had been busy thinking about how much higher his IQ was than everyone else's when he heard the news of the double death.

Well this is bad news for the town, but in the end there is nothing to fear as long as I'm the case. Let me assure you people, do not panic; now I know this tendency of your kind but please, resist the urge. An entire panicked town is not the thing we need right now.

Now, with that out of the way, I believe Autolycus should have the sword. And second of all, does everyone else fail to notice that Jolt, the traveling actress just happens to be in our town at the same time that this werewolf business pops up? This surely can't be a coincidence; but the chances of that at slim to none.
