Hints:
- Three faces are familiar, and a fourth has changed a lot since you last saw them.
- The notebook lists four henchmen, but only two are here. Use the descriptions to rule out the others.
- The idol works by combining runes into short commands, an action followed by what it acts on.
- The dog’s name is not coin, but it is very close.
- Turn the idol around. The back shows the command it was running when the room exploded.
