I put a lot of time into re-reading everything for clues, and I must have come up with something good to spook him so badly that he claims he's part of a Conclave. So yeah, I am eager to find out if he is in fact Indorani. I'll be disappointed if he ends up as anything else.
Besides, how many times have you haphazardly shouted to kill someone because they spoke or for some other goofy reason? I'll refrain from any further attempts at humor if you'd like.

The sun wanes, as does the patience of those in the mob.
"He looks a bit like an Ankyrean!" one of the farmers says, jabbing Damonicus with his pitchfork.
"He just said he was one!" another points out, going to get the rope.
This time, though, the killing is more savage. The hanging isn't bothered with - instead, it's stones, clubs, pitchforks, and knives that are brought into play and used to messily tear apart the poor man's body. As blood spreads and strands of gore hang from the nearby stalls, the bloodlust abates for now.
The Ankyreans watch from the balcony, dispassionately.
Damonicus has been torn apart. He was the Summoner.
It is now the Round Twelve - Night. Viola!

Hrm. Very interesting point we're at in the game. One mutual baddie left. Then we have 6 baddies we have to balance out and get rid of. We might actually pull this off!
First things first, need to figure out who the Wildcard is. I'm at a bit of a loss as to who it could be. Aryanne has it right, process of elimination. I'm wondering if one of the quieter folks isn't lurking as the Wildcard? I don't know. The more I think about it, probably not Periluna, and also probably not Jasline. Yes, Damonicus did seem like he was defending her, but I think the liklihood he would make such a blatant outing of his only other buddy isn't high. I think his rash Conclave claim came because I had a vote for him and some pretty solid stuff, and he jumped the gun thinking others would buy into my reasoning (which nobody botered to mention... thanks guys.)
I guess I can't definitively rule Jasline out, just my confidence in her being the Wildcard is pretty small. Unfortunately that leaves me with the "Ugh, who the heck could it be!? feeling." Le sigh.
Does this mean you have the other 8 hammered down? 11 Rellyw are alive, 3 of us are rellyw, 8 others not listed are confirmed safe (and I could go through the list to figure out who you have as safe...) Might I ask how? I can get a good read on several due to jailings and attempted kills and the like, but to have 8 people listed as safe? Dayum!
Periluna, Macavity, Vharen, Meskhenet, Haern, Teani, Alexina
On Periluna's 'list of questionable?'
Aren, Daskalos, Kaeus, Moirean, Desian, Minarael, Damonicus, Llok
Aryanne has asked for more public information from sniffings, even though that would definitely aide the Conclaves more than us, and
the whole swap/toss/turn with Toz and Piper's bump-in with the Loyalist Conclave.
You have three more hours to get in any final night actions before I resolve the round.

That isn't, even remotely, a good thing.
The doors of the Grand Hallway collapse in an explosion of jade fire, and the last Indorani charges in, their hood askew as they attempt to put paid to the Ankyrean legacy. Syssin Defenders fall, decayed and afflicted with withered limbs of all sorts; a few twist and writhe as chaos beings leech onto them, tentacled and bloodthirsty.
One of your number, from the mob, dashes forward with a bow at the ready. They draw back and fire, arrow after arrow, trying to strike down the Indorani. Finally, one hits - and as the last of the dread corrupters falls, lances of bone fly from them, striking through the vigilante and laying them low; an Ankyrean, attempting to stop the massacre, is caught full in the face by one and topples with a messy hole through their head.
Screams fill the hallways as three more hooded Ankyreans see an opportunity; as one, they descend on another of their number, daggers rising and falling; and as dawn rises and reveals the grisly slaughter, you realize that everything - everything has changed.
Alexina has been killed. She was the Vigilante.
Jasline has been killed. She was the Wildcard.
Toz has been killed. He was the Dhasan of Devotion.
Aryanne has been killed. She was the Dhasan of Art.
The Rebels now have a factional night kill.
It is Round Thirteen - Day.
Seven votes are required to perform a lynch.

-The Wildcard used their factional night kill to get Alexina.
