My headcanon is that Ensi is mortally wounded in body and/or spirit, and hands over the rifle herself, while also explaining and apologising for her 'mistake'.

Certainly possible.

They might not all, or even any, get killed right off. They might instead get infected -- same end result, but time to make arrangements.

I wonder whether whatever happened on the other islands has already happened, and that's where Hilja picked it up; or whether whatever it is escapes this lsland and then goes on to others. If something's still hunting survivors years later, though, then something survived.

this is all assuming that Ensi actually dies from this.

I think the worst possible scenario is that Ensi survives, but that her mistake was simply not bulldogging onto lalli's intuition in the first place.

Also having some serious flashbacks to when I came up with the concept of a "puppeteer" type troll for that AO3 story I put up a while ago.

Hilja, when she was really Hilja, kept such a nice space, didn't she?

Sunlight, plants, that cozy reading nook --

I'm suspicious about that cooking pot. After all, whatever she smuggled was small enough to fit in a bundle.

I know that it's probably not the bag that's eating him, but it looks like it is, and all I can think of is this book from Harry Potter:

I remember from reading the book magical beasts and where to find them, there's literally a creature that's an animated cloak that eats people that potentially is closer to what's stop the table.

Oooo interesting! Just Googled it and apparently the Harry Potter creature is called a Lethifold, but I wasn't able to find whether or not it was based off of any folklore/mythology. I was getting so excited about maybe being able to use a connection to figure out what Hilja's package was ^_^' Oh well

I know there're several similar D&D monsters (the most common is called the cloaker, but there are a few different "looks like a garment and then it eats you" mimics in earlier versions because early editions were like half composed of traps and things that pretend to be useful until you try and use them at which point they kill you), so either it is based on something specific or it's just common to the human psyche to be afraid that our blankets will eat us

Did Hilja have the thing tied up in there?

I can't tell whether all that stringy stuff is bindings -- in which case why is it partly undone?   or part of the troll -- in which case why did it stay in the bundle?

dunno. methinks she may have used it to taint the food/water supply though and that's what happened to the town.

As I just posted to Disqus, if that thing is possessed in some way as well and the "rider" is evil, the option of letting it struggle (vainly) against its bonds (when no villagers are watching) might qualify as the onboard entertainment system.

I don't think water supply tainting is needed, since Hilja may have very well infected Illmari during the bake sale, and almost two weeks have gone by since. There was a bunch of people at that bake sale, and all those people are now welcoming family members back from the harvest.

Otherwise, an idea that could support the "Ukko-Pekka is the kade" theory crossed my mind. I started wondering if a factor other than coincidential close proximity could have made only Lalli notice something was off with the rat-bundle, and I started wondering if it could be because he's related to whoever made the masking spell, while Ensi is not. The kade would hence have a reason to go after Lalli and Onni to get rid of mages that can see through its spells, and would also want to get rid of the twins and their wives so they don't have more kids.
