What you have for Bob that you don't have for Bucky is a motive, but that presumes such a thing matters to the wolves, as well as the fact that no one else possessing enhanced strength would want to see Saber dead when he's well known for his harassment of women and threats of violence against anything that breathes.

Have you considered asking Saber your question, next round?

[rehandle]

I considered it this round. He didn't seem to be an option.

[ He doesn't know if that's because as a wolf he would've been awake to see his killer plain and the game deemed that a clue too far, or because Saber would rather remain silent in death than give Stephen Strange a single hint. Both seem equally likely. ]

[ Coming to a third conclusion: ]

Was it a means of protecting the Alpha, I wonder.

[ Which is an unsettling thought, on its own, if the rules of the game are such that the worst of the wolves possesses some sort of safeguard. ]

If it is Bob, you believe him to have killed Koby, this round, and Homelander, previously?

[ Troubling, but likely, no? With the Alpha the only one capable of taking out another wolf, it stands to reason. That left to percolate with him for a while longer, it's back to the rest. ]

I don't know. Those close to him don't think he'd need a weapon if he had access to his powers, and I'm inclined to believe it. But there's magic and extraordinary ability blatant in so much more of the display this round than there had been last. Signs of compulsion last round, but no otherwise obvious magic where this time we have runes and signs of August's hellhound.

If that wasn't misdirection, it's possible the access to extraordinary ability is rising in increments each round. If that's the case, Homelander could have been Bob. Or something simpler like Will. I couldn't assign him anyone from the first round for sure.

[powerhungry]

With regards to changes each round, you may be adding more complicating factors where there are none.

I suppose we'll have to wait and see what the next round brings, and hope your question bears more fruit.

[rehandle]

I may be. But in one round they went from individual killings to a team effort with props and a set. Complicating factors seem to be in vogue.

Yeah. Here's hoping.
