It’s the spookiest time of the year, and the Crossover Event of Volume 4 is full of the Abosom, Owuo, the god of death and a connoisseur of evil. We here at the PRL are connoisseurs of all things spooky and we are happy to bring you the continuation of the PRL Serials and the PRL Halloween Special later this month. So hunker down, dear readers, and get ready as the Minyak disease plagues Bludon, and the Smiting Chamber becomes the headquarters of great minds trying to save tomorrow from an evil that even Owuo worries about. 

The Outsiders are closer than ever to understanding their uncanny journey to a new universe as we present:

This week:

Node 5 Prime 5 Earth Year 2024

The Zacchaeus War comes to a dramatic conclusion on Top. No matter the outcome, Zacchaeus and the Needy will be forever altered. 

Shame on the Devil (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus 1st Tel.): “But when he turned eighteen, Zacchaeus was old enough to drink around people who loved and cared for him, namely the drunks of the Canned Heat, and even Mavis Turner couldn’t stop the party that raged in the backroom from just before sunset until sunrise the next day.”

The rage of Minyak reverberates into the future as we catch up with Maxx and his extraordinary friends at the Guardians Dormitory on Fumarole. If only there was something to punch. 

Slimed In (Âmuk 1st Tel.): “I should be grateful for this seeming peace,” Maxx said thoughtfully. “This is the most peaceful it has ever been on Bludon, but I feel so restless.”

Since returning to the Fonlands, and reinvigorating himself by absorbing iterations, Lêgba has had a very tough go of it. First his siblings questioned his grip on reality, and then he realized that he’d been poisoned. And it’s the absolute worst poison to be poisoned by. There is only one man who can help him, and he is the self-proclaimed Vodun of Death.     

What Else? (Finding Lêgba 1st Tel.): “Currently, Lêgba does not look like himself. His normally well portioned body and flawless skin, is mounds of blue-black flesh. His face is lumpy and his eyes are swollen shut. All of the hair on his body had fallen out, and his features are obscured by inflammation. Bulbous boils grow from his thin limbs like grapes on a vine.”

He may be evil, and manipulative, and fond of torturing things, but Owuo is very nice to souls that have his favor. Brad Jordan has Owuo’s favor, but he doesn’t see it that way. He may be dead, but the Deads’ Town is a strange place to dwell.  

Deads’ Town (The Deft Hands of Zacchaeus Mini-Tel): ““You are a dead, my friend, and I have brought you to Deads’ Town. You’re welcome. It is a more similar experience to your life than the perpetual sleep. Even I wouldn’t send a soul to that wretched end, but it is the fate of most Earthers who die. What a waste. Deads’ Town proves that the afterlife for an Earther need not be wasted in dreams.”

Ariel’s uncle comes clean and the Old House in Monroe, NC is marked by Owuo. How did this happen? Keep reading to find out.

Multiversal Family Tree : “You got too many secrets, unk,” Ariel said, her massive wings casting a shadow over the middle-aged man. “Tell me everything about this house and that Vodun you pissed off since you dragged me into it.”

Sao-Reyne, the Wazad of universe Prime 5, is back and playing gopher for the First Wazad. Plus, Maria has completed her mission and she is exhausted. There’s only one place to go to rest and the Ice Prince tries to avoid it at all costs.  

Brokey (Wazad of Outer-Spacetime 1st Tel): “Sao-Reyne never enjoyed attaining Outer Spacetime because the colors of that exotic view of space made his eyes ache. The First Wizard had summoned him to Theron many times, and after the Transverse appeared and then left to fulfill her destiny, he was summoned to Wazad’s Emporium.”

It’s the PRL Serials Volume 4! More exciting than a game of Smiting between two Vodun!
