before commenting on anything regarding Baba Yaga, i'd like to mention something i noticed in the phase post; the soul ushered to heaven by the Valkyrie, aka Alex who died, was male, as the text refers to them as 'him'. considering each and every role has a clearly defined narrative gender, i think we can assume this is a hint. now, the Sphinx is female, while the Hippocampus is male. in fact, i think out of everyone who died (or was supposed to), the Hippocampus was the only male.
following this, i think we can conclude that Alex was in fact the Hippocampus. idk if anyone cared but we can never have too much information right?
now that's been cleared up... i'm kind of neutral on the Gunner/Baba Yaga lynch thing. i don't think it's likely that she'd be mafia, considering outing as the Baba would put a rather large target on her head for lynching. on the other hand, a revealed granny is of little use to the town, even if she does have a visiting action. considering her strengthening or weakening others' NAs is random, and she may even have a random kill later on, that may be risky though. i suppose she could come in handy as recon or a possible vigilante then, but since she's third party she doesn't count towards our majority either, and she may just as easily switch sides to work with the mafia if it seems like they're more likely to keep her around.
aaaand Johnny just became a confirmed inno. though he does lose his day vote, yeah?
