No worries, I only put the spoiler tag in my post because I was discussing two specific gong results. Yours were general questions, not specific otherwise LadyCFII would have added a spoiler tag in it when she responded the first time.

As for the gong granting health, hmm... I'm not sure how that would lead to the this little fellow. Maybe LadyCFII will have a better response when she gets back on. Sorry I can't help you anymore than this.

The logs are erased and rewritten every time you launch the game, so it might not help you figure this out. It would take a lot more than speculation to know for sure, but it does seem likely that the gong granted this villager youth in the recent past.

Yes, I realise this, but my game has not been closed and re-launched for several days now, so one would assume that the logs should be accurate.
