My, my, that distinctly Valinorean-flesh tasted soooooo sweet!

A good start, wolves. Glirdan is gone but at least he wasn't special in any way (meaning no offence to the dead, mind you). And we have even been aided by the death of an enemy. Things are going well. Let us now capitalize on this opportunity.

We have to ask ourselves: Why was The Saucepan Man slain by the Elves? There are two tempting answers. Either because his intelligence would have been a huge loss to the island (at least it would have been if he was on our side) or because the Elves suspected that he was gifted.

I am inclined to think the latter because, despite his intelligence, The Saucepan Man seemed all set to be locked in a war of attrition with Mithalwen today.

Trouble is, I can't make head nor tail of what gift he apparently showed. If he was a potential Seer (as Lord Sauron) then he didn't make clear his First Day dream, something which he should definitely have done being such a natural target for the Elves.

So.....very strange kill; but we should be delighted with it all the same.

How do the rest of you read this riddle?
