-Gideon starts to call everyone in the village saying that our Gods have returned.
-The crowd that forms is getting rowdy, but I manage to talk them down to keep them from mobbing him, which Gideon seems thankful for
-Gideon beseeches me, and I acquiesce under the agreement that we move this conversation to a more private location, bringing Alice, Atani, and Tuinn along
-He asks that we go and find the god he referring to, and insists that the generations that have come before us that have died are still here in the Fringe
-Gideon gestures and a symbol on his temple flashes as Atani and I see the child we chased won in the scrubs the night we got lost appear
-He does so again and Alice sees the prior captain of the guard
-Gideon has the power to influence people but doesn’t seem to doing so now
-I ask Gideon the name of his god, and we all hear static except Tuinn who recognizes that it starts with an L sound
-Wallace might be wasting council resources on making posters to find the Ram’s Head, need to look into this
-We agree to go out and search for this God but do so without Gideon who instead gives us instructions
-I get us a truck and we head out with Atani guiding us along the way
-As we continue, we see a figure with strange black robes clinging to them. As we get closer, we see it's a tall figure with desiccated skin and burning coal eyes
-Alice gets out of the truck first and approaches the being and I will follow 5 ft behind it
-As she gets closer, apparitions seem to be appearing around it, one of them being Toomas Reed
-Alice asks what his name is, and he says Lehkt-Sionn. It seems like it's weirdly difficult for him to say his own name
-Lehkt brushes his hand against my cheek and remarks on my nature from last season’s Dullahan nonsense
-It then does so to Atani, and I grab its wrist. We both see a vision of Atani’s death attempting to do something that could have ultimately been successful without their death
-Tuinn sees the specter of a deceased member of their pod. An individual who was once their director/sort of mentor, someone named Marella
-I see myself out in the distance smiling, talking, etc.
-Alice sees herself wearing similar garb to Deyadria
-Amati seems himself in various emotional states
-Tuinn sees herself painting at an easel
-These all appear to be potentials, futures almost, but ones that have already already passed. I realize to my horror that what I’m seeing for myself is the lost opportunity to be on the council
-Marella chats with Tuinn for a while, as does Toomas with Alice, and Atani and I each see the little girl from the night we got lost
-She gives me a teddy bear and I hug it before sitting down while Atani keeps speaking to her
-As I sulk, Moreau appears to speak to me and gives me a pep talk
-After our various chats with our emotional spirit guides, Lehkt asks for our help in collecting the departed that have been aggregating in Truetopia to help them move on
-Because of my Dullahan experiences from last season, I have an inherent ability to help guide these spirits
-We’re each given crooks to help us guide the spirits but are warned that some of them may be hostile
-I first encounter an out-of-place OSR spirit that seems to be wearing West Village clothing. Upon trying to reassure him, I realize he’s Mehdi’s deceased lover and manage to shepherd him by informing him that Mehdi is alive and safe
-Atani encounters the spirit of a crocodile, and after briefly getting death rolled manages to pacify it and shepherd it by using it as a mount
-After collecting enough spirits, we see a giant clocktower in the distance and one of the spirits Alice rangled looks out towards it and says “Home, Southwest Village”
-A few days later, Gideon and a few of the returned find us, Vincent among them asking if Dawn is among the dead spirits, which she wasn’t
-Not only that, we also realize none of the others that were taken through the portal are here either, meaning they hopefully aren’t dead
-Lehkt guides us on until we reach a point where he sits down and begins to draw a ritual circle
-We each begin to guide the spirits and have respective moments with our spirit guides before they, too, proceed forward
-Moreau tells me to go back to the lab and check things out. There might be something useful in his notes
-As the remaining spirits enter the circle, Lehkt takes a deep breath, and far in the distance as the sun rises, we see a similar figure to Lehkt in the far distance
-Lehkt seems relieved
-He reaches out to take the shepherding crooks back, but leaves Atani and I with ours
-He warns me that I need to be careful with the line I’m treading between my Duallahan nature and my life as a West Villager
-I inquired to Lehkt if Sata was a god, and Lehkt said no, Sata was an outsider
-The path that Lehkt continues to walk appears to be some kind of leyline meant for shepherding the dead
-I make my way to Moreau’s old lab and it takes some time to gather information. I find research on OSR’s previous work in Truetopia, which reveals that West Village was the most stable village out of those that OSR built. From these notes, I also learned that Moreau’s research was functionally concluded after West Village was found to be the most stable, but to keep himself relevant, he did the stuff with the Nightmare Stag
