Yandil definitely seems to be coming up a lot. Will be interesting to see what Sam's investigation comes up with!

So many people have named him it's getting kinda crazy. xD

OKAY guys this is interesting... If you remember from Stalkers 1, Tashy the Furret was a Stalker:

Meanwhile, the second of the flames speeds through the sky with its target recognized, determined to annihilate the Enthraller known as "Undone," leeching onto the spirit of Tashy the Furret. As Tashy looks up into the sky while standing just outside of Prat's home, she sees the judgment fire speed toward her, and in that moment, her spirit is able to push back the sinful Undone Enthraller for just a moment to think and act on her own, having been a prisoner in her own mind.

"And not a moment too soon..." Tashy smiles, closing her eyes and accepting her fate.

She turns to her husband, Prat, completely baffled at what is going on.

"Stay wild and free, Prat!" Tashy cries out happily to Prat the Heliolisk as tears of joy run down her face. "I'll see you on the other side!"
I was just told by #48 Nillian the Trumbeak that Tashy the Furret moved to town when the Stalkers arrived... I mean I don't know how related all the games are, but Tashy should be dead if the game is continuous which it seems like it is due to references to the other games... so this is definitely suspicious and worth investigating. :O
