The Leader, now occupying the body of the small girl, reaches over towards Galindor's body, which is turning in to Starmetal, and rips out his soul. Jimmy can see him use it to repair some damage to his own soul. Samuel of the Warrior follows the avatar of the Leader. Samuel Skye, however, attempts to intervene, declaring that the Leader should return the small girl he is currently posessing. Things turn unpleasent and Samuel Skye is beaten in to the ground by the other Samuel. The avatar of the Leader passes through the temple, gathering several priests to him/her and makes his/her way to the Council building, where under the effect of the miracle “hear me!” declares his/her glorious return. Jimmy is called to an emergency council meeting, which is in uproar. Several members are loudly declaring themselves in support of the god but others are declaring the dangers of the situation and even the uncertainity that was has been summoned may not even truly be the Leader. Jimmy is called upon to negotiate with the avatar. Jimmy ascertains from him/her that he/she is happy for the Council to continue running the city but he/she is under the belief that they are now answerable to him/her. Jimmy offers the Leader a new body but this is declined. He passes this along to the Council. Although some of the Council are of the opinion that they should now defer to the Leader, most are not willing to cede their authority. The prevailing opinion appears to be that they will wait to see what it does.

Additional roleplay effect

Something claiming to be an avatar of the Leader has manifested in the City. The Churches and the Council are divided over whether they should be following its leadership, although with Samuel Skye influencing them through his connections the anti-leader faction on the Council seems to have slightly more traction. The political situation is that the Council remains in control but many people are still waiting to see what the avatar's next move will be.

All the churches are divided in opinion. Of the churches the church of the Warrior under Samuel's influences seems to have the strongest pro-Leader faction and their council representative is pro-avatar. The church of the Tender is mostly anti the avatar, with most disapproving of the Leader's manipulation of an innocent child, although their councillor appears to be waiting to see what it will do (and some will have noted a sense of discomfort in his demeanour). The Builder church is split evenly, with their councillor being in the anti faction. The Leader church itself seems to be most schismatic, with many opposed to the Leader's direct interference and the sentiment that it is time for a new Leader growing but equally many celebrating the Leader's glorious return. The council representative of the Leader appears to be struggling to balance the two factions and hasn't as yet taken a position.

To the surprise of some the Cargan seats are evenly split, with Faria Carver being mostly vocal in support of the avatar and Serena Cargan being most opposed. Kieran Salic seems to be erratic in his opinion, veering constantly between seeming to support and seeming to oppose. Julius Ravensfall, being tied up with the war effort, has not made his opinion known as yet. There is a mixture of opinions within the Wayfinder's Guild, many of whom are waiting to hear which side Councillor Luckner will take. The colleges and the councillors holding elected positions are also mostly in opposition to the avatar, whilst the Guilds and the noble houses seem to be primarilly biding their time to see how it will affect their business and estates respectively.

Outside the Council the City Watch attempt to maintain the peace and it is rumoured that Frederick Holland is less than happy with the new political situation. Many of the populous are hailing the glorious return of the Leader who will put things right at last but there is also growing fear in the light of the Leader's actions that he will become a tyrant that will bring oppression rather than freedom, especially with the memory of what a bad leader can be capable of fresh in their minds. The overwhelming sentiment is however that most people are keen to see what the Leader will do before solidifying their opinion.
