Following the villagers to the outskirts, you watch as they continue their work.

Spikes are hammered into the standing stone. Nails are strewn about, stuck into the earth. Bonfires and candles are arranged around the spiked stone, now draped in the great quilt.

As the fires are lit, a sheep is slain atop the cloth.

The village retreats and holds its breath.

Wait.
