Psychic Bridge II to everyone jauntside
It's Armin.
[The text is somehow bigger and bolder than usual when the network is like this, attracting your attention even if you'd usually try to filter it out or ignore it.]
Yes, I'm dead. Well and truly dead, not just a ghost, but I can still access the network. I'm not really sure how. I'm broadcasting to both sides right now, so this connection will only last about half an hour. But everyone, please listen - this is important. Before she tortured and killed me, I recognized the being inside Bernkastel.
It's Nyarlathotep.
Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. One of the outer gods. I think the ghost Bernkastel was in is essentially his overlay now - merging with her didn't give him access to the network, at least. Don't approach the lakebed - not yet. You don't stand a chance on your own, any more than I did.
But I have a plan.
I can teach the living to make talismans that will repel the god. If we have groups to distract and repel him, there's a brief ritual that can separate him from his host, and do to the witch what they've been doing to other ghosts, stripping and consuming will and power.
Doing that should leave him adrift - as long as he's being repelled, he'll have no choice but to return to where he came from. If he's not being repelled, he'll be free to do as he pleases. This is all if there's someone ghostside willing to lend me your form in order to perform the ritual.
It will be hard, and incredibly dangerous. We'll need to coordinate and work together, and I can't promise we'll all survive. But it can be - it must be done.
[ooc note: in game, this post takes place after Malik will have reported Armin's death to everyone lifeside, even though Bix hasn't thrown it up yet.]

Also, while you have this connection open, we should, like, take advantage of it and how we can all see ghosts now to arrange an in-person meeting place for everyone, ghost and living, so we can still talk to each other.
Everybody? Come to my overlay's cottage in Burnbridge if you can. It'll be a little tight to fit us all, but it's reasonably warded. Enough to keep unfriendly stuff out, but not so much to make friendly ghosts uncomfortable.
[She'll just give an address now.]

...At least nobody else had to go through that.
[There's a pause before the text continues.]
Right now I don't exist off the network, so I may have to borrow someone's eyes or form for that too.

[You know why.]
And you didn't have to do it alone. Even Malik had Matthew helping him and he was nearly as reckless as you were and got his legs huffed like a puppy for his dumbassery.
He saw her huff you up.

I didn't want to get anyone else killed.
And now is not the time for this conversation. You can yell at me all you want back in liminal space, assuming we're still around by then.
