• Caiphon and Eilessa are transported to 'New England' (1920s), just outside Providence, where the majority of their powers were neutralized through a very weak spectrum of power sources
• Encountered bootleggers in the woods, then taken to a cabin hideout at gunpoint. 
• Yth had infiltrated this world, as well, and some nameless hunting aberration chased Caiphon and Eilessa through the woods (after their deftly overcame the gunman through a little seduction and a knife).
• After finally opening the rift between worlds with her sacred bolt, two boyscouts appeared on the scene, in imminent danger with the hunter lurking about. Caiphon pulled them close and Eilessa bombarded the Yth with  attacks, not least of which a javelin through the chest, before it went still.
• Caiphon clasped Tyvis's outstretched hands and returned, and after comforting and motivating the conscious boyscout to go and find help for his friend (in shock), she returned as well.
