3. Someone targeted Kaiveran with a non-scum kill, and Vanta died because of it.

If someone targeted Kaiveran with a non-scum kill such as a vig, would Vanta die if Kaiveran was town?
I misread the role at the start, thinking that any actions targeted at Vanta would go to the person they were hiding behind instead, it's since been clarified. I can try again for you...

Vanta could choose to hide behind a player at Night
While hiding, Vanta cannot be targeted directly by any action
If the player hidden behind is scum, Vanta dies
If the player hidden behind is not scum, but a target of any action, Vanta will also become a target for the same action

So, since Vanta turned up dead, there are three possibilities:
1. They did not use their power, and were a target for a scum or other NK
2. They used their power, and hid behind a scum player, and auto-died
3. They user their power, hid behind a non-scum player, who was targeted for any NK, and so Vanta also died - this would have to be PCM. In this scenario, there was only one successful NK, there might have been another that was blocked, protected or otherwise failed
(4. maybe a 4th option is a redirector or strongman kill which is successful against any kind of protection)

So, if that's any clearer, to your scenarios:
1. Vanta would have been protected against any NK by hiding, so either they did not use their power, or were not the scum NK target
2. Someone else could not have shot at Vanta, for the same reason, unless they did not use their power
3. In this case Kaiveran would have died too, and we'd have had three deaths. If Kaiveran had been protected, 'ey and Vanta both would have survived

I asked the question because you seem to believe that this breadcrumb is true, yet are not voting Kaiveran, so I'm confused as to how you can both believe Vanta hid behind Kaiveran and Kaiveran is not worthy of your vote?
