It has all been building to this as the Dance of Hysteria comes to a close and the winner is chosen to decide the rules for interactions between Fonlanders and beings of universe Prime 5. The stakes could not be higher, and the action is–say it with me–hot, hot, hot. Thank you for joining us on the first ever campaign using The Essence RPG system.

This week:

– – –

It’s the third round of the Dance of Hysteria and Pultine faces off against Maxx, the Superguardian. I imagine Maxx as Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just putting that out there.  

The Divine Essence: “The four remaining participants stand around center court and Hysteria up on the octagon. She gestures for the fighters of the first match to join her on stage, and the others are instantly transported to the stands. Based on Pultine’s last match, everyone is wondering if she will yield to Maxx, who had a very strong showing in his match.”

Coffey has made it to the third round, but can she beat Metatron? She’s strong, but Metatron is a beast.

Vistas of Endla: “After some confusion, Metatron and Coffey have arrived to the octagon and face off with Hysteria between them.” 

– – –

It’s the Championship Match! The winner of the Dance is decided. 

Hysteria’s Moon:  “Hysteria summons the participants to the octagon and they all stand together.”

Hysteria lays out the way forward following the Dance and the winner says some words. So ends the Arbitration of Hysteria.

The Game Masters: “They are welcomed. Also, each team that participated in the Melee should select one person to meet with us in the Tower where we will discuss plans for the future and iron out details.”

Leilar and Ariel make it back to the Umbatia swamp, but they fetch something, someone, other than the pipe that led them to the Aziza tree in the first place. They did get the pipe, too. 

Agent Orange (Limited Series): ” A head peaks out of the jungle as the group, including Leilar and Ariel, make their way along the river. You all hear rustling in the leaves and you look back to see the head of a child parking out at you. Keep in mind, there has been no other sign of life since you arrived in the Fonlands.”

Indombe brings Zacchaeus and the Needy to the island of Xêvioso. Will the Vodun remember Zacchaeus, or is two centuries too long for even a god?

Finding Xêvioso (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus Limited Series): “I can’t believe we didn’t think this through. There is no way a man, a god, what even is a Vodun? There’s no way Xêvioso will remember us. I’m sure he is a very important person with a lot going on.”

It’s the PRL Serials Volume 3! And now you know it’s true. It is the hot, hot, hottest RPG in this universe or any other.
