It's easy..., There's a strange otherworld entity on the tula, so you send for the local godi. He does all the things one does to propitiate a daimone. If that fails to work then obviously it's a spirit, so you send for a shaman - he performs his weird rituals to bind stray spirits, and if that doesn't work it must be some soulless sorcery fiend
