Yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing more from Alcarillo, since we don't have a lot to go on. And now to The pan who be saucy's question. How did she die.

Well...*takes out a pipe, fills it, lights it, and begins to smoke*

They ran into the little shack and a pitiful sight met their eyes. Holby, the pigeon-girl, was still in bed lying in a pool of her own blood. A faint gargled whisper escaped her lips.... ...."That's not all," a grim voice answered, "by the looks of things, these werewolves killed all of Holby's birds and from the different sized tracks we're dealing with three of them."
Well, I'd say question number one (as it's the first piece of information) is how the door was knocked down. The entire description of her death is fairly vague. The only people we know of that are skilled in arms are Mormegil (blacksmith), SaucepanMan (big beefy lumberjack), and Alcarillo (silversmith). This is just arms mind you, and I have no doubt the wolves could use their bear (get it? bear! ) claws to knock it down. In terms of who wields what, we know that Mormegil makes swords, and saucy likes his axe. And of course, the most deadly weapon of all, Márcolië Lamen with the calculus book ; ). There are no mentions of marks on the door, but I have no doubt arms would help. They aren't necesarily my prime suspects, but it is something to keep watch on, I guess. Also, let us not forget that the hunter and the ranger also bear arms. Once again, the people I have listed are not necesarily on my suspect list, since I have not made a list yet, and it is too early to tell.


In terms of a bloody pool, that's fair wolves game. And as for the birds, well...smart planning, or someone hates birds. Either way, it's too vague to tell. Any ideas anyone? If you want, you can think it over with some pipeweed. If no one has anywhere else to turn, I myself would be intrigued in Alcarillo's defence from Gil-Galad's acusations.
