Gylaug wakes up after a 2 day poison-inflicted coma. Poisonous mushrooms is an insufficiently lethal weapon to be used on a such a great warrior as Gylaug. The devilish Germanic tribesman and his minions the Yngling child and wee man Bilbo Baggins had failed miserably in their attempt to assassinate their gravest threat. Gylaug is delighted with his efforts catching hairy monsters. His offerings have made Odin grant them 3 beasts at the petty cost of 2 men carrying sticks and one man clad in armour so heavy he could not move. No wonder the beasts got to them. Very few people are cut out to be such fine and mighty warriors as Gylaug. The only man remotely likely to match Gylaug among this merry band of of ill-prepared warriors would have to be the Dane:
Haraldsbane's head on a pole would be such a great offering Odin would likely show them the whereabouts of the lost child in return:
vote Wagon
Gylaug gets up. Best not waste any more time if he is to claim the reward for finding this missing child of the king of Franks. There are some cellars in the village he has yet to investigate.

@Tonka: I retract everything I said about your theory. It's as good, if not better than my own.
At least 2/3 of this lazy arse wolfpack voted PanzerWulf. I'm so done making multi-quoting, coloured names posts. My Sherlock Holmes costume has been binned. *dons his Dr. Watson costume* The only piece of my puzzle that's still intact is you Sherlock Marty. Please tell me this is elementary.
I'm not entirely convinced there was no way to deduct the probable identity of the seer. Wouldn't the fact he approached an unscanned person at this junction be indicative of... something? Not as obvious as those who definitely knew his identity I admit. Although not entirely comfortable, I'll follow the lead of those who know better than me.
I believe my vote may have placed Wagon in an undesirable big lead. I chose him due to a combination of matching the narrative in my saga of Gylaug and him acting the executioner fitting what I would regard as his best shot at an alibi given the circumstances. This place Wagon an inch ahead of the competition in suspiciousness in my fuzzy mind.
@Marty: You directed that double lynching in an impeccable manner. Please do direct my vote elsewhere if needed to bag us the remaining dirty scoundrel.
