Mafia 73. Forest Kingdom

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! No, not like that.
So, yesterday, while discussing the voting, we missed one detail - there was a guardian among those who voted for Oot's execution. The dwarves realized this, understood that the eighth vote wouldn't change anything, and one of them ended up being among the voters. The remaining dwarf is likely Neira after all, but (suddenly) we hanged PALYZNYI. Why do I think so - belief in the afterlife, pride, fearlessness, favorite weapon - this sounds like Palych.
Gura the guardian was offed by a ranger. Dirty boots from the swamp (or is that a clue?) and chopped axe wounds. Kent tried to protect him, but it didn't work out.
Tox seems to have been an orc; my intuition at the start of the day yesterday didn't fail me. I think he's the beastmaster, because of the ABILITIES. But who the hell killed him? According to the description, only Kent has a shield and sword, but wasn't he protecting Gura? Besides, Kent can only kill while defending, and Tox's death description doesn't mention that.
I don't understand anything, damn it.
