    No, there is only one actual murder. I was thinking of grouping all the attempted and premeditated-but-uncommited murders, then I changed my mind and spelled them out but forgot to take out the 's'.

    ETA: to be absolutely clear, I think her attempted murder(s) of Ivan is considerably worse than her actual murder of Durkon, whilst still both being Evil, despite having failed at it. Incompetence is no excuse, and lack of regret of endangering a fellow sentient being (her only regret is that it would not have accomplished anything for her) is horrific.

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
