Episode 6: The Violet Peaks | Overlight: Fractured Paradox

The group returns to a fractal temple to confront their own corrupted doubles in a dynamic, character-driven combat sequence. Using skills like radiant success, surge attacks, and alliance protection, they overcome their inner demons—specifically evil motifs and weakened Tudos—through strategic movement and powerful actions. Fennel uses agility to intercept attacks, while Chano delivers decisive blows, culminating in the defeat of all manifestations of their self-doubts. As the battle ends, overlight fractals begin to flow into the temple entrance, symbolizing healing and unity. Their journey reveals deeper lore: a lone warrior, possibly a former bond, has hunted and killed a Yamari, indicating a long-standing struggle between light and darkness. The group learns that their actions—particularly bonding and self-sacrifice—activate the overlight, reinforcing a spiritual bond with the environment. Amidst the chaos, they discover a new connection with Brill, a traveler who has been isolated for centuries, and his wife, who now welcomes them. The episode ends with a sense of unity and forward momentum, as the group prepares to explore further into the cave, guided by newfound bonds and the belief that they are part of something greater—family, friends, and a shared destiny. The tone blends action, introspection, and wonder, emphasizing personal growth and the power of mutual support in overcoming inner and external threats.

(upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Hello everyone, welcome to Overlight Fractured Paradox. - Yay! - Six, yay! (cheering and clapping) - We are in the middle of combat, so we're gonna go right to it, but before we do that, we wanna thank Renegade Game Studios one more time. This is our final episode. - Thank you guys so much for giving us, giving us, thank you, we opened this game. - This is mine, thank you for the IP, we love it. - I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. - I love it, I love it, I love it. - But seriously, thank you guys so much. Thank you Paul and George for answering my emails about questions about how to create stats for certain characters and for all my crazy ideas and entertaining all my thoughts. And thank you to all of the artists, Quencha and Maria, the table artists who, I'm sorry, I don't remember their names right now. Thank you, thank you to everyone on this stage for this episode and all the other episodes we've done. Thank you, GNS, thank you audience. - Thank you, how did it go? - Thank you, Dogmite for this incredible, thank you, Dogmite. - This is just bums. - Yeah, our gorgeous dice tray, we are obsessed with it still, and we're going to all crawl into it and go to bed after this. - Yes, yes, yes. - Wait, I think we're too big. - No, if I, if I, are using your real eyes or your crazy eyes, 'cause you're real. - Oh yeah, hold on, hold on. - If I sit like this. - We can go to sleep in there. All we need is to use our imagination. - Imagination, if I, if it sits, so. - That's what's gonna happen, I promise. (all laughing) - Thank you all. And now we drop ourselves back into combat. - So, we're fighting ourselves. - No. - So, we are on the doubles turned. So just as a reminder of who's left, we have a, the fennels are gone. - It's a good name. - The fennels are gone, yeah. - There's two do's. - There's two do's. (all laughing) - Math, math, math, three. Never mind. - It's like one, three. - Yeah, one more three. - Three. - Yeah. - All right, so. Oops, that's, yeah. - Yes, there is. - Is that what he does? - No. - That'd be so awkward. Who are you? - Raise your hand. - Oh my God. - Oh no, no, no, don't do that. - Okay. (all laughing) I thought it was cute. - No. - Here it is. (all laughing) - Are you sorry? - Oh no. - Oh no. - Oh no. - What the heck is happening? - She's rolling salad. - Yeah, okay. (all laughing) - All right, I still have an extra. - It's gone. - No, what can you do? - All right, you do have a guard. Do you, are you using it right now? Before they go, that would be a good idea. - If you want to use that. - Who are they attacking for? - So we have Tudos. - Tudos. - Which is very not in good shape from last time. - AK one hit point. - I remember my math time. - Yes. - They, we have three reverse mots, evil mots. - Evil mots. - And they are, they have taken some damage, but they're the fullest up. - Okay. - Are any of them going after a talk? - I think where we last left, the Tudos were near. - The Tudos. - The Tudos. - Yeah. - Talk may, you just, yeah, the fennels are gone. You just knocked in Udos, you're over there by the Tudos as well. And then the mots are kind of, they're, you just came in, you're near the Udos. - So it's close to back. - The mots are the furthest away from everyone, to be honest. Maybe close this to fennel. - Wait, the mots are in the middle of the fight? - No. - They're not, I wish they were. (all laughing) - I wish they were exactly there. - No, I don't. - They're in the office. - Let's beat. - The fennel. - They're in the middle of the fight? - Yeah. Udos, and the Tudos, and you and you are all near the entrance, closer to the entrance. And then there's the middle of the fight. And fennel is the furthest in. - Okay. - And then the mots are nearest fennel. - I guess my question is, is everyone going to get attacked? Like, I basically have my pick of the letter of who gets attacked. - There's one, two, three, four, so pretty much. - Yeah. - Okay, great, I'll protect you. - Talk about it. - Okay. - All right, so. - I have a hard body. Two, three, two, one more. (all laughing) - Beef turkey, yeah. - I'm like beef turkey. - It is exactly like beef turkey. - Oh my god. - You guys. - I'm sure in everything. - Wow. - All right, these guys are hot. - Oh. - Okay. - No. - So. - How about no? - Fennel. - No. - One of the mots, no one has noticed them because they've been smartly hanging back. They are like mott, they're very logical. Again, these are the all the bad, like, you know, the bad things that are manifest. And so they are very calculated from watching and seeing who would be the weakest. You are now isolated. And so one of the mots swoops down. Now there's this thing called a surge that if I, she's making it up right now, I actually. (all laughing) If I get, I'm just gonna say on a lot of my roles just now, I got surges. I got basically the spirit flare of NPCs. So I'm able to, these surge also on energy drink. - Use the game, yeah. - Yeah. - Overlikes brought to you by-- - It's also what plays-- - No, that's not what you're trying to say. - That's not what you're trying to say. - That's, no, go ahead. - Core fill. - Yeah. - Yeah, what? - Core. - Oh, no. - I was trying really hard to say Core. Because I always do that. (all laughing) - I always do it, I always do it. (all laughing) - Oh. - And me. (all laughing) - That's funny. - That's why I was aiming for Core for myself. - Yeah. - Okay. - It's like a bunch of funny guys. - Oh, she really did it. - No, I'm not good boy. - I really like people doing that on it. - Dangerous bit. - Dangerous bit. - Are you sure? - It could've gotten worse. I got to re-roll failed dice. And it didn't get worse. So. - Hooray? (all laughing) - With that, so with that swoop, the reverse evil mud gets out of talons. This is the surge. It is now out for blood. It swoops down on you and it gets a handful of your branches and rips them out. - No. - Hold your hair. That's a, cutie. - Oh, that is really. - That is a cutie bitch. - On behalf of my light, that's when. - Okay. - Hold that face. (all laughing) - All right, so Mott, so you, okay. So Mott, the other two, the other two of the reverse use also swoop down towards you. And they manage to get a swipe at you. And they take a few feathers with them and it kinda hurts. They did kinda hurt, so you take one damage, one health. - That's a wound. - Now, you were in front, okay. So Udo, the one, the two dose that's closer to you. This time, it takes this bludgeoning tool but it kind of fakes you out. Does this for a second? And then it elbows you. - And it almost, no, it elbows you in the, like, right, there's, it knows your vulnerabilities. So it gets the place that your mask doesn't cover and you take two health. It kind of almost hits your throat which is very scary and dangerous and freaks you out. And now, attack me. - I also don't like that. - Your Udo's comes, but I actually need to do something. Okay. (all laughing) So your Udo's starts coming towards you. - I know that face, I know that face. (all laughing) - Okay, so. - Your Udo starts coming towards you. And just before it begins to like strike down at you, chain your jumps in the way. - Yes. - And you soak this, but it's, I mean, I'm assuming you soak it. But I get to soak as many as the result on my spirit die. But I get to add two to my spirit die because of my radiant success. - It's an open roller. What is this a skill test? - It's basically a version of protect ally, but I can do it in any time. - Great. - Oh, do it in here. - Yes. - So I, oh, gosh, oh, gosh. I, I 10. So I don't succeed, but I wanna, I don't have any spirits points left 'cause we shattered. - No, but I have one in my fury pool. We have one in our fury pool. - No, we use that. - Oh, we did. - Okay. Anyway, so I guess I 10 won't do it. Oh, wait, no. I get to reroll any that I failed because I have a radiant. - Oh, I'll fail. - Anything that failed. - Yeah. - So if I succeed, I will soak three. And I do. Oh, my God, one, two, three, four, five. - Five successes. - Oh, wow. - Five successes. - Radiant. - I actually soak only through, well, yeah, radiant success, - But I'm protect Ally, I think that's still just, I just succeed, I think. So. - Okay, so you got a radiant success on that, bronze resilience. - Oh, but this round, oh my God, but I actually got, wait, one, wait. - Holy shit, one, two, three, four, five. - That's five. - Sorry, five. - Is that brilliant or is that radiant? - That's radiant. - So on a radiant success, I can actually protect an Ally twice in this round. - But you were just rolling the protect Ally, right? - Not the Chroma? - So the Chroma gives me protect Ally that I can use at any point in the. - Right, without expending skill. - Yeah, you had already, I think you had already got an radiant success before, so. - The radiant success gives me the two attempts to do it. - You was a test within a test. - Yeah. - Exactly, so this test now, because I got radiant on this test, gives me another two, not two at any point, this round, I can choose two people to protect. - Oh, that's great, okay. - And I soak three from two people. - Who would you like to soak from? Who took, well. - I took two. - I'm about to be hen. - Okay, I'll take Fennel and talk me. - All right, and that is a total of three. - Okay. - Oh, wait, sorry, not a total of three. You had two and you had two. - I don't think you had told me my dad had two. - I hadn't told you yours, yours was two. - Okay. - So it's four, actually, here. - It's a total of three each. So three for me and three. - That she can soak, yeah. - But she, so I take it to each. - I take the damage, but because I got a three, it also negates against me. - All right. - So I just soak it. - Oh my god. - I take the damage and I'm so open into my massive body. - All right, still blowing orange. 'Cause bronze juice is active this whole time. - And it's over now. I can no longer do it, but worth it. - Yeah. - That was bad. - It's super cool. - All right, so Evo's goes. - Hey, what's this chump been up to? - He's been right there with you every round. - Yeah, he's Chinese boyfriend. - Yeah, he's very impressed. - Maybe he has been chewing, I'm doing. - Evo's doesn't feel about your teeth. - Oh, he's not. - He might be into it, you never know. - Oh, yeah. - He loves lamp rays, yeah. - I mean, Hamanu might be into it, you never know. - Unfortunately, our handsome Hamanu was probably like fluttered in the face by one of the moths on their way to attack you guys because he didn't do anything. He's just not able to help out with around. - If one of the Chroma moths does the face flutter, if one of the Chroma moths does a face flutter, does the person that they're attacking get the teal? - Oh, marks. - Did they get the shatter effect? - We'll have to see. - But it's like a weird Chroma version, so there's like constantly little geometric shapes coming. - Oh, that's so strong. - I mean, yeah. (all laughing) - I'm a fantasy, yeah that's cool. All right, so Fennel, you're up. - Okay, tell me if this is possible. What I'd like to do is use the remaining branches to reach up for the Chroma that attacked me. Grab it by the leg, slam it down under the floor and just stabby, stabby, stabby with my knife. - All right, so I would say you're gonna have to, so you're basically like jumping up or reaching with your branches. - Reaching with my branches. - How's all your branches then? - I'm like six foot. I'm a tree. I'm a tree. - Okay. - Whoa. - Yeah. - Oh, I never realized that. - She can bend and like make herself smaller by bending fingers. - My body is like this big, but the tree is a tree. - Okay, so let's say that this happens pretty soon. You get that chunk of your branches taken out and you react pretty quickly. So it doesn't get to travel far from you. And so yes, let's do an athletics. I think this is athletics might. I'll let you do will if, mm-hmm. - I have no athletics, so you have no athletics. Nope. Well, this is our kind of reaching out. Like it's a very physical thing. - Let's see. - Remember how kind of-- - Remember how close limbs. - There's too many. - Let's just do many. - I almost squinted. - Yeah, I would give you another one, but I feel like I don't see another one that really heathed. - Yeah. - You know. - Yeah. - You don't have brawl either, but yeah, let's see. Let's do athletics. Will. All right, let's see if I-- - You are a very kind game. - No, that's just one. Like a flare. Can I, I'm gonna use that flare immediately. - All right. - Yeah, so you got two? - Yes. - Okay, cool. Oh, how, you got two, so that's two diamonds. - To, to, to pull them. - To pull them. So you are able to-- - And then I want you to have it. - Oh, I wanted you to just pull them to the ground and then hack out of it. - I feel like that would be two. So I'll definitely let you brim off. - Okay. - Like grab him and hold him down. - Okay. - So, yeah. - You made some damage with my branches then by grabbing him. - Yeah. - Just the grabbing itself and forcefully bringing him down to the ground doesn't. - Yeah, yeah. - That scene in one of the Avengers where the Hulk is like-- - Yeah, like Loki, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, with Loki. So I'll just pull him down to the ground. All right, cool. - In Finn, how many knives do you have? 'Cause I love the-- - I only have tiny knives. - I want it. - In your little rodent hand. - I would like a fire. - I'm tiny. - But I only have a fire. - Oh, yeah. - You just have to see that and wrap it on something. - Yeah. - Just the one tiny adorable knife. - Yes. - So now, so now one of the three evil mats is down on the ground being held by Fennel. And we are up to Udos. - Yes. The two-dose, one of them is at one, right? - Yeah, well, remember from last time there. - I don't even know why I stood up like that, I don't know. (all laughing) - That is right, yeah. - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - You were allowed to do a sign on your turn. You've never apologized. - You know you're about to kill Udos. - Yeah. - Well, I'm about to kill Udos. - I'll put him down. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, so now I'm going to do a-- - That sounds true. - This is the one that the more damage looking one is no shoulder. - Yep. - I can just do like a simple combat test or should I get it from? I think I should do a combat test, right? - It's up to you. - It's up to you. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, let me do a combat test. - Everyone else is shattered, but you can do it. - I haven't. - If you want to stand out. - Oh, yeah. - Are you guilt-shattering me? - Yeah. (all laughing) - She is. - She's trying to get everyone down to her shatter. (all laughing) - I am going to-- - What happened to me when-- - Oh, I got my one tooth. - You're weird. - You're holding that out. You're really sharp, so let's do this. Like, you know those cats that have just really long fangs? - It's definitely my canine, and as soon as I'm going to grind it down. (all laughing) - So I'm going to use my-- - My teeth grinding is like-- - Me too. - Okay, yeah, me too. - All right, I imagine it's like super long. - Like a derpy vampire? (all laughing) Like a walrus family. (all laughing) - It's like my ass is moving when they're pulling you long gated tooth. - So I got-- - It's really-- - You're making a derpy noise. - All right, luminous-- (all laughing) - That's true. So I did do that at the point. - Okay, okay. - You didn't do a chromosome. It doesn't cost-- - Well, that's right. - Okay, so what did you want to do? What were you-- - What I wanted to do was I wanted to take the neck of that little two-dose, and then just kind of just-- - Oh my god. - Take it and let it just kind of crack 'cause I kept making his neck just twist a little bit more until the back of his body is pointing that way and the front of his body-- Well, basically he's like beetle juice, you know what I mean? Like his whole body's like-- - No, we get it, so-- - Okay. (all laughing) - We have the image, right? - Okay, yeah. - I just wanted to twist it until it actually came off, but it doesn't come off. I just hear a little pop. - So you-- - You don't say it. - You-- - And as you're approaching this, you are now pissed because you have made these friends, you've traveled so far from your home chart of veil and you've changed your life in so many different ways. And you're like, no, this version of me is not gonna get the better of me and my party. Nah, it's not gonna happen. So you go over and you put your hands on it and you twist its neck more until it's facing the back and then it does just kind of snap off and all it all dissipates in your hand. So you see that red flaming red chroma light, over light just dissipating into small geometric fractals all over your hands and onto the floor and out back through the other entrance. And then you are near the other two dose and you see that one also dissipate and just turn until it's fractal light. - And I burst into tears. (all laughing) - Chander, you're next. - Two of those noodles. (all laughing) - Oh, thank you for the reminder. So because we are in a slight pause before, because we are in another fractal temple, is if you remember from before you got spirit points and the other one, you are actually using your chroma in this one so you all started this episode with five more spirit points. - Oh! - Oh! - Huge boosts. - So we had a 10. - We had 10 spirit points. - That gives me so many opportunities to shatter myself. - I know, right? - Okay. - Wait, but then I'm gonna have to go get some black stuff to drip on my face. - Oh, I got you. - I have it here. - Okay. - She's only got Fennel's left, right? - No, Fennel's are doing a lot. - Oh, yeah, Fennel's just broke mine. - And just three months. - Yeah. - Three months. And are any of them? - Three hip points for a few of them? - I'm not touching touch. - Yeah, they're barely touching. - Okay, then I'm just gonna smack it. - It's gross time. - It's gross time. - It's gross time. - And for the rest of the combat, I actually get D12 with my might raise to that up. - Oh my. - I wish we had the foresight to have brought a googly eye for you. - I'm just in case I shatter three, just put the eyeball right there. - I don't know. - And is this a maze? - This is just however many I do, it takes that much damage. - Yeah. - 'Cause you're just doing a combat test, right? - Yeah. - Yeah. - There's probably a little guy somewhere else. - I have never failed, I have never failed worth. That is a zero. - Oh no, do you get any reels with your thing? - No, not on just straight up combat. - Okay, I swing and I whiff. - You go for-- - There's blood in your eyes. - I try to attack with my mouth and it's-- - There's faux blood in your eyes. - Oh, I forgot about the attack. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's the attack. - So Chano, you-- - It's just too soft. - You go towards-- - You were going towards one of the moths, right? Yeah, you go towards the closest moth. And you're just-- - You are. (laughs) - Oh, good. - So soft. - Oh, it's so friendly, it's so nice. - Oh, why are you beating on your butt face? (laughs) - She got distracted. Thought she was one of the Chroma monsters. - Oh, no. - It's so curved. - That's why you miss. - You lost track of who's what? - There's blood in her eyes. - I had a lot of rage. - Yeah. (laughs) - Moth, it's you. - Okay. - And there's three of you left. - Let's see, what to do? I think that I am going to continue to fly around and use Wind Lore in my to just wail away at the moth that initially I failed at attacking. - Come wail away. - Look, your time has come, Chroma. - All right, so Wind Lore. - So, three six and three d eight. - All right. - Yeah, I've resorted to just combat attacks. - Okay, you do have your spirit points again. - Two spirit points, but I already tried to commune with it and it didn't go well. - You have two spirit? I just gave you five. - Yeah. - Well, I already tried to commune with them. - Oh, yeah. - Got it. - I mean, unless we don't have any fury points right now. - No, I don't think, yeah. - And only I'm convinced these like creatures to not kill us anytime soon. - Well, we already knew from Rachel's, from Fennel's science role before that. - Yeah, they're just not killing us. - Let's be honest, we're the same people. - If the Fennel's are evil, I am fair. - So that was two successes. - Two successes, all right. - Dang! - So you, again, you're, oh, good. Similar to your companions here who have been, like, facing down their own evil, basically, you're pissed, you're frustrated, and you fly straight up in the air and then you do, like, a round of dive attacks on each of these moths. And you do hit one of them. And now that one is below three. - Look at it. - Mine too. - Mine too. - All right, and talk to me, is that cool? - Okay, I would like to attack one of the moths. And I'm sort of, they're in the air, right? - Yeah. - If I can, I wanna do a combat test, but I want my skill to be my athletics so that I can do some sort of, like, backflip, like slash at them to get some air to maybe either come down at them or get on their level, whatever I need to do. - Okay. - If that is okay. - Yes. - So you said you're gonna do a regular combat test? - You wanna describe it again, sorry. - Oh, brain. If they're, like, in the air, I wanna use my athletics to, like, jump in the air and do, like, a backflip and either bring my staff down on them, or depending on how I up there, or at least meet their level and slash it into them. - All right. - Cool. - And then I'm also going to use Mighty Blow, which will sometimes you use for your points from our pool. - If that's okay. - Oh, yeah. - You never asked me about, you know, it's okay, I don't care. I have been very clear that I plan on shadowing. (all laughing) - Also, never asked me, but I'm sorry. (all laughing) - Sorry, let me do two, three, one less. Okay. - So here we go. - Ooh. - So with the, with the Mighty Blow, it adds the amount on the spirit die. - Oh, yeah. - So I've got a seven and a six. So I've got three, I've got four successes. Oh, my gosh, nice. - Oh my gosh, nice. - I've got four successes and a spirit flare. - Which, what do I do with that? - Wait, what, sorry, what kind, this was a combat test. - Great. - Oh, so four points of damage. - Sorry. - Yeah, four points of damage. - So many ways to roll dice. - Yeah. - But he said Mighty Blow adds. - Right, so I, so eight total damage. - Wait, it doubles the, oh wait, the, I rolled up four on the spirit die as that much. - Wow. - So I rolled four hit points and I rolled, and I rolled Mighty Blow, so that's an extra four. And then, can I spend an extra spirit point to bump the damage one more? - You don't need to. - Really? - Yes, I think. - We're going to get some. - You jump off and hit it. - So Wally Ball his head into the grip. - You do not play Wally Ball with sticks. - Oh. - I know. - Are you sure? - Right down in her mouth. - Are you thinking of baseball? - You pull out of this. (all laughing) - So, talk to me, you're, you sure enough, there is a moment right before you do this, that you look at Ma and you realize that he, his, whatever it is that created this, besides the Chroma and the Overlight, but the fear or the, that thing in him that is something he wanted to shake, he's having trouble, like shaking it, and he needs help, he needs a hand. And so, you look over at him before you jump up, and you say, I got you, and you just jump up, and you do your cool spin thing, and you like, you jump like, like, crouching tiger-hidden dragon style, you like jump up, and you like, levitate up, and then you like, smack, though this not down, and it just smacks down to the ground, and all of them just dissipate. - Yeah! - Yeah! - No, I was gonna stab it! - I'm so sorry! - Always be sure to hear someone say, I got you, and then kill a version of you. - No. (all laughing) - I'm a killer version of your version of your version. - A version of me. - A version of me. (all laughing) - Sounds more ominous than I meant it. - But like, talking to me, saying, I got you. - I got you. - It's like, it's a weird. - Like, I'm a little scared. - I'm a little scared. - I got very confidence in doing this somewhere when I got you. (all laughing) - Okay, so now-- - I'm so sorry. - So, you all have defeated all of these doubles of yourselves. - I love you, Adam. - And you, now you all do notice, you notice this before, but you all now look back towards the entrance you came in, and you see the overlights filling in. The way that it's built over the tops of that, the first fractal temple you visited, it's filling in through the sides of the front entrance you came in. So, there's the light from the snow and the overlight, bright white light, and then you see the overlight, fractals just flowing into this entrance and showering you all. Gain, two more spear points. - Oh! - Ooh! - You're red. - I'm like, no! - You're just sprooge my duck in the spear point. - We just use two. - We only had eight. - I know, but if you get two and I get two. - Oh, Derp. - Hey, Evo, this is the thing that we were talking about. - Oh! - Where it is, this is the temple. - By the way, well done, Evo. - Temple. - You fit it right well into our team. - You know, I meant to say, my training is, oh, I'm Australian now. - No. - No. - No, please be Australian. - No, no, no. - Be Australian, please be Australian. - All right. - I'm really attracted to this. - I meant to it. - I'm really good. - I'm Australian. - No, no, no, no. - No, no, no. - It's good, God. - Oh, mate, well. - Oh, mate. - Good. - Well, I meant to say, I'm more trained as a pack mule and a nurse. I didn't really help in this battle, but I'm glad we're all alive. - No, you're right. You didn't help that much, but we were happy to have you. - We're glad you're here. - Thanks. And then you just, like, brush his fingers through his hair. - Full of motion. - Oh, good. - Well, you all did a really good battle. I can appreciate other people's skills. - I stabbed a lot. I like stabbing. - So I'm in at it. - Thank you. - Do you want me to report back to a bon mate? - Well, this is the thing I remember. - That's true. We don't know. The light's coming from behind us where we came in. We should investigate and make sure that the temple is there before we send word back. - Well, I mean, we see it a lot. - He's maybe sending him a preliminary. Maybe we've got it, you know? - All right. And so he plops down on the ground and assumes a meditation pose. And just sits there and meditates quietly. - Should we draw on his face? - Yeah. - Can we just make him match me? - You guys. - You guys are never like that still and coming in. - Oh, you're not that far away. - Look at who you're talking to. - Right. - Also, why isn't he? - I've never seen Shen who come. - I saw him as shy on his face. - You never seen her, what? - Oh my god, you are just disgusting. - Don't laugh at that, that's not funny. - It's very funny. - It's so gross. - My hands prevent that. - Oh my God, maybe you have, I don't know. - Those who do do not live. - Oh God, that's not true. It's a real dintata situation now. - Oh, no, it's a dintata situation. - We don't know if the carpet matches the tree, what is that? - That works. - I am a healthy baby. - Oh no. - We're not a vegan. - Let's just admire this. - Eat us. - Come along with some of us. - We're gonna take you as a few minutes to do this. Do you want to invest the key? - Yeah, I wanna go up and look at it and get out of this conversation. - Sorry, I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it. - I really think, I'm essentially unconscious. - I'm walking away, I'm scared away, right? - I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you. - So it took you about 30 minutes to get down to this point of the temple. And remember, it's like, it's kind of a straight shot but sloping down. So that's why you can still see the entrance. - Yeah, let's wake him up. Let's see, yeah. Evers, no, no. - Or do you, he's sending your message. - No, we have to, we have, he needs to come with us. - Okay, so you. - Before he sends the message. - So you shake him. - Yes, time to wake up. Sorry if he didn't get it through. We really need to investigate it first. We didn't realize how far away it was. And we, which is terrible if we left you down here. - You know, there's your Maori might come and eat you alive. - Yeah, yeah. Thanks for looking out at me, looking out for me. I'm bad at this. - No, you're not. - I'm so bad. - I'm flirting. - I wish there was a way I could be better at flirting. - I can help you. - Really? - Are you good at this? - Oh yeah. - Here's my list. Death, flirting, slash, gift, flirting. In parentheses, can also be friendship, question mark. - I don't know what that one says. Compliments, compliments are great. - Oh, I see one. - Skydancing. Yes, skydancing is, oh, that's the long hug. - Thanks for looking out for me. Is that a pumpkin? - Hugging them for a prolonged amount of time. - Oh, I don't feel comfortable with that. We don't have that kind of intimacy hit. - Hugging? - Yes. - Hugging intimacy? - Oh, no, if you don't want, oh god, this is gone. - Blindfolds, hand holding, flattery, taking off your mask, showing your voice. - Oh, I have my hands. - Should I get a mask? - Question mark, wait for us to do. - Wake, vibe, sway. - Hey, that's an idea, why don't you just be yourself? - Ew. - I'm gonna write that one down too. But there's a lot of question marks 'cause I think that doesn't work. - Okay, so this thing is happening. So have a backup, so what are you doing? - Yes, so you all go back towards the entrance, right? Where you see the overnight flowing in. - Yes. - All right, I want to talk to you both the whole time and be like, this is what I've learned. You can just go through everything one at a time. - I love how Evo's change his accent and then also became a different personality. But whatever, we're going with it. - Yeah, I'm a charge to whatever he is slash balls. - That's really sweet actually. - That's awesome. - Okay. - I think that's obsessive. (laughing) - That's not the healthiest way to me, but I think that's true. - Okay, so who are you looking at or for or trying to find out? - What's that thing to spill on me, right? That's what we want. - It's been in it's flow. Now, it's actually as you walk closer, it's, why that? (laughing) - Why that? - I'm laughing about something else. - Are you sure? - You guys don't even know what I'm laughing about. - Okay. (laughing) So you are in the flow of the frack. Because remember, you got those two points. Those were from being in the flow of the fractal. - As far as in it's the warm feeling that I really felt that way. - Yeah. - Okay. (laughing) - We got that feeling. Is there anything else that you have to come up with? - There doesn't appear to be some like coalescing of the light like there was in the first fractal temple. - So in the first fractal temple, it was coming from the top. So it was like overlight flowing into that opening and then cascading down in these light fractal waterfalls. You're seeing the same thing here except it's just not coming from the top down, it's coming from the outside in. But it's doing the same thing. - Okay, so like from the way that we came in, the overlight is now washing in and that's doing this, it's having the same effect. - Yeah, the source is the door. - Oh yes, yes, that's the way it came in. - It's flowing down this passage. - Okay. - I don't know if I-- - So why would? But we didn't see it when we were outside the tunnel. - Yeah, because it just formed. Maybe because we formed it. - We attracted it. - Yeah. - We attracted it. - So by our bonding. - By killing ourselves. - Killing yourselves. - Yeah, well, maybe it was our love. Maybe it's already concentrated. It just took on the form of evil real quick but then we dissipated the evil and now it's good. - Maybe the overlight evil and that's why we should all worship the void. The overlight is the void. - You know what I mean. - It's all part of the screen. - It's a sleeper. - Yes, well, maybe let's get to the entrance and have an en-vose evose summon everyone. So they may behave in the school. - But what's the hardest deeper town? - I think-- - Death. - Death. - Not the good kind. The kind where you get bitten by something that's-- - Yamari. - The entire body is I'm out. That does not sound like the good kind of death. - Could be one in there. - Let's say the mouth is so we can, you know, be a little protected and guarded. - And out of the cold. - Where would you like to go? The mouth is a cave. - I want to go toward that. - Yeah. - You mean back the way you came or the other way? - Towards the source. - Yeah, towards the-- - Sorry. - The overlight is coming in from the source of the overlight is the entrance. - Yeah, so we're going back to the way you came. - Yeah, okay, great, great. So yeah, you're in again, you are in the fractal waterfall, light fall, and you're bathed in it and you've got those points, the spirit points to rejuvenate you. And you go to the entrance and you just see the valley again. The snowy valley of zenith and you just feel the wind and the snow. - Do we no longer feel the touch of the factor overlight? It's just-- - Once you step out of that, you don't see or feel that again. - Maybe that overlight is trying to lead us to something. - Maybe. - Maybe it is going in that direction. Well, first of all, evos, tell everyone it's here, right? Everybody, everyone deserves to know. - I mean, and it's gonna, if they want to come here, it's gonna take some time. - And if we want to go deeper inside, where there's likely to be Yomari, it wouldn't hurt to have more skyborne. - Yeah, true. - By the time they got here, we would probably already be poop. - Well, let's see. It won't take you long to send the message with it. - I see. - No, just a couple minutes. - Okay. - Why? 'Cause I don't know what my accident is. (laughing) - All right. - What a geeky boy. - So he plops down again this time in the snow and starts to meditate and connect with his bond mate. So that, you know. - Yeah. - Just a minute, okay. So like wait for the call to connect and all that stuff. - Yeah. - The dialect comes. - Yeah. (laughing) - Deepo, deepo, deepo. (laughing) - Should, I would like to wait until he's done with his call. - He's in nice manners. - I'm on. - I'm very good at making a high brow low brow. So once he's hung up, I wanna head deeper into the cave then. And we should continue exploring the hopes that this guy born will be not too far behind us. Well, three weeks will be fine. - Yeah. - All right. Be totally free. - I have a theory. - We'll be able to quickly. - So they experienced that we had in the caves. That's when we experienced the overlight. We experienced the overlight in a cave. Again, when we were all together. I mean, I don't know. I feel like it has something to do with a cave. (laughing) - Well maybe it's concentrated in caves because you can naturally get into caves because there's stuff on top. - Why light in the darkness? - Why is that? - Well, it can't, like, penetrate raw. - But also they call it a fractal temple. So there's something structural about, you know, getting all the light. - Where is the door? - Like a magnet for light. I think the fractal temple is like this magnet for fractals. - Maybe where is the doors? - Maybe where the door? - Yeah. - For the window. - That's really deep. - I don't have any doors on it. - That first temple was almost like a culvert. - So maybe if we explore deeper in? - I don't know. - I'm not too hot on the idea. - I think Udo's just winked at talk, man. That's on my list. - I wasn't flirting. There was something in my head. It was a piece of snow. - Winking is right there. - So just then, you hear something down, back down into the cave. And it's a very high-pitched, like, it's like a scream and a high-pitched thing. I'll try to do it. That kind of noise. And you hear the sound of impact as if there is some type of something happening down there, physical. - We're down of us, we're there anymore. - I don't like it. - He's doing down with his palm. - And it echoed down, by the way. - It echoed down, so. - I want to start inching down closer to the sound. - We is evos done. - Evos is still meditating. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Evos? - He's really. - Look at it out. - It's really large. - Guys, it sounds like someone's in trouble. - He leaves evos. I'm I just heard thoughts in a scream that could be literally anything A death party What do you want to do we can't leave you on the TV of us you said it only be a couple minutes I don't know what's going on. Yeah, we'll just wait and whoever's fennel's early like crab walking down the tunnel Are willful Scout ahead and down like evos and his muncher like you say by first You like pick up the phone and listen to my conversation. Oh, gosh. I think I'll never Why don't you do that right? You guys stay here and I'll use my croma to help me sneak further down the tunnel I'm with me Let's go together. I have a croma. I don't think I my croma can cover two people. No, it's okay I'll just stay a little bit behind you because to make sure you're not alone Okay, make sure maybe it can't the stealthiest of trees. That's it. She's walking like a crab right now Okay, so you're inching down that floor trying to be like close to the ground. Okay, why it? Mm-hmm and talk me you also are with fennel retreating back to the cave Yeah, and I'm gonna cast But I'm going to use my croma oath of silence. Oh, it attempts to Automatically succeed on stealth base skill test Mm-hmm, great and Yeah, you have a page number for me. Oh, I did not understand what you said 175. Thank you. What are stealth tests? Usually what skill is that still still test is a skill test So any related would be like Perception performance Probably like athletic survival I mean, I yeah, I guess that's whatever you're trying to do is through the filter of Yeah, what oh my god. Oh, whoa. So what were you rolling on by the way? Oh my gosh Oh my gosh, that was so close to being the Stealthy is heck so one two three four five and I get a flare so I'll just up it to a six It's a brilliant, but it's not legendary because you have to get it natural humor, but yeah, okay, that's a brilliant success That four was a six. No, no, this is how much it and this is how much it costs. Yeah, I was a croma But you can yeah, we hold on sorry frame. So yes, that's the cost, but you still did get you got five success You can still spend an extra one. Yes, okay, but it oh that doesn't count as a flare on top of the right. No, okay, great Heck yes, okay, we spend five to be the ultimate holy cow. That's our first brilliant It wasn't legendary, but it was oh, I said yeah, no, that was okay, crazy All right, so what happens on this is a brilliant, right? Yeah, it becomes you may use ocean sounds abilities three times during the scene these three uses can be any combination of available abilities So I think I can cover you then Because I can use it multiple I can use it up to three times in the scene so I could I could do it for myself And for you as an automatic Stealth-based skill touch that were great cool cool. So yeah, the success level I see yeah, big tree So but we can't make noises or speak words or generate any sound Is that was that was the criminal or it breaks it Then she's going very slowly and she's being so rich. Would you like to oh, yeah brilliant Your abilities say you can One target character a piece cannot what do you want to do? I just want to I want to use like fennel and I'm moving together through the tunnel and if it and if it comes We're sneaking so if a skill a stealth based skill test comes up will both automatically succeed All right, and just as a warning do you see this where it says you're free to interact and participate with the group if you make any noise That's what I just yeah, sorry So I said that fennel's making sure to go extra slow and be very So I relay that to you so we know that the parameters of things and then I still have one more thing I can expense since it was a brilliant so all right and use one of these other three if we get to the situation We need it. Okay during her branches back. Okay, to make herself as small as possible so that she Like split back. Yeah, yeah hair hair. Oh, she won't accidentally like touch Like honorable yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, braids branches. Yeah, so yeah, so yeah, fennel lays back her hair Her true branches and you You all start you both start to creep down and as you get closer. It's You can hear it still echoing up and now you Not only here, but you start to see what's happening and backing out of One of the other cave entrances that you didn't make it to before you see the back of a Winged beast that is pale and slender has a black hair and it is That's the thing that is streaking and you now see it making that noise. It's there by itself It's backing out of the cave. You got a really good success. So yeah, you see a Humano who has beautiful dark blue In the upper and there's a And this this more and who has like Moray some graying some graying And it has you can see like a bow and arrow strap to his back. It's like it looks like it's like taking down stuff on a regular basis. Oh Yes, okay. We love triangle. Are you gonna pick? This is like a silver fox This is the real George John So I'm going to John Ham or George I'm gonna talk about indicate to Finale like let's Chill and see what happens like watch the scene. Okay, maybe we can intervene if need be yeah, okay, if the situation looks dire Okay, so now The the Humano has backed this Yamari, which you know, you definitely recognize that that's what it is And I think I think they did describe this to you all at some point Yeah, I've heard so you you also are like, oh, that's a thing, but you can't speak so you just put two and two together We're both just like why not yeah, why not watching this go down and so the Humano is it's just laying into this thing and Finally it gets it on the ground and it this thing is freaking and it pulls out a dagger and just Just hacks it right in the throat And the thing riggles and then stops moving Um You've got your favorite blanket a freshly poured drink and a cold case burning a hole in your streaming queue You're not just watching true crime.

(laughing) And then, just starts to stretch. And walks a little, a few feet away from the dead Yomari. Sits down, takes out a sack, and starts eating what look like little nuggets of something. (upbeat music) - My name is Fennel. (laughing) He jumps up, grabs his nuggets. - I'm sorry, I did mean to startle you. We, you, are you, Maree? - Who are you? - Sorry, my name is Fennel, and she pulls out another flower. - She is? - So now you're like, are you approaching? - Yes, you're like. - I, my friends, and I just came to this chart. We just got born, by the way. Which is really fun. Anyways, a man named Brill was really nice to us at the entrance of the chart, and he-- - As soon as you say Brill, he just collapses and sits on the ground and just stairs shaking his head. - She's gonna go over and like touch his hand, with her tiny little paws. (laughing) Do you, do you want some help to get back to him? 'Cause we, we said we would try, and we found you, which is even better than I think what we thought was gonna happen. - You thought Brill. - And this, Kess, Kess. His wife, no, he's married. I think he would love to see you though. Are you bonded with anybody else? We could get you bonded! We know somebody who can do that. My friend, oh, you can't see her. I actually can't see her anymore right now. My friend, Talkma, she is a monk. She's a void sham in monk. And her and her, Havana, who just got bonded. - Like Brill? Huh? - Like Brill. - Yeah! Exactly like Brill. So what I'm saying is we know the right people to get you bonded to Brill. And we know we're Brill is, so we can stick you to him. - This is the more ever more I am sitting. They're just as-- - Hi. (laughing) (laughing) (laughing) - Oh, don't worry. - She's giving me two of them, but yeah, that's, she's the void sham and I was telling you. (laughing) - You just appear next to him. - What? - Why? - She's the void sham and that's just kind of how she is. And I've learned to accept it and I like her scaryness. - I move silently like the darkness. - Yeah, she does. (laughing) - Do you know Brill too? - Yeah! - Oh yeah, best buts. I mean, you know that, huh? We dig into him with him for a little while. But I need him some very dream. - It has been many cycles since I have seen Brill. - You still thinks about you? - Are you in time? - And he never bonded with another him on you. - Yeah. - So we must really care about you. - Is he still with the Lord with the silent stone? - No, he's reverted to the void. - He's kind of on his own. He and his wife have a little house that they allow travelers into and they take care of them. That's what happened to us. - We tried to contact you. Did you feel it at all? - No. - Well we tried, you're pretty far away. - Yeah. - About three shard weeks. (laughing) - One million cycles I imagine. (laughing) - Three centuries. - Three long passages of time. - It's been, it's been a long time since I've thought of Brill or. You also start to notice that he has, he has some things decorating. He has like a sash that has some, what you recognize is trophies. - What is this? - And these are chiroities. - Chiroities? - Chiroit, chiroit, chiroit. The Amari, I'm sorry, Yamari. They have two names. - Fennel's gonna point to each one. - What's this? And what's this one? And what's that one? What's this one? - Oh, that thing. And he points over to the dead Yamari on the ground. - That's the Yamari. And remember I was telling you? - Did. - There are hundreds of these teeth. - On his sash. - Wow. - You've been busy. Have you just been down here the whole time? - I go out and find a village sometimes. I usually forage or hunt for food. But I've found that devoting myself to hunting the chiroit, it saves my blood less than it makes me feel like I have a purpose. - Hey, have you seen anything weird down here? Anything out of the ordinary? Aside from us. - No, no. I'm just gonna really quick reach out to a channel. - It's happening. - Jenny, are you there? - Die. - Always, always and forever. - We found Mare. He is down here with us. - No. - The screaming was a Yamari. He just defeated it. - Oh my. Oh my. - Is that Jenny Taylor? See, hello? Finals that sky. - Sorry, we're linking. Oh my gosh. Is he hot? - I am not attracted to. - Come on in. - Yeah, but you know what? I like. - And yes, he's hot. - You gotta bring him back. - Bring him back. - No, come down here. - No, bring him back. - I got option number one up here. - He has to be off his call right now. - He is off his call. - Yeah, he is off his. Yeah, he's hung up. - We have more to discover down here. Join us that we have made the area safe. - You telling me this guy like killed a Kiroi, Kiroi? - By the looks of it, he's killed hundreds. - Oh, shhh. - Did you tell her he said hello? - Yes, I told you Finals said hello, right? - Oh, yeah, yeah, totally tell her, hi. Tell her I'm good, tell her we're all good, and we'll be there soon. - The chin is as high. Tell her I love her. Finals said she loves you. - Chanyu, are you in, are you doing the. - Oh, yes, I am. I'm sorry. Just give me one more quick second. Yeah, tell her I love her too, and we'll be there real soon. Thanks for the update. - Right. - Hey, thanks for initiating this. I always feel like it's me, but it's cool to see you this time. All right, I'm hanging out now. (laughing) Yeah. (laughing) And then when you end your call, Evil looks at you and you said, yeah, it's really hard to get off the phone sometimes with you, but bomb me, right? - It's real, yeah, it's not. It's never quite, it's always awkward, I feel like that. - It's hard, it's like, who hangs up first? It's never me. - It's just never me. - Me neither. - I can't, I can't hang up. - You're not here to belong to the floor. - Ah! - No! (laughing) We found, for you to, remember Brille and his, his Hamanu, Jorge, they found him. - They found him. - Repeat, they found him. - Repeat, repeat. (laughing) - I'm dying. - Repeat. - In the cave. - That's right. - So he was the thing sleeping, or? - No, no, he's killed apparently hundreds of Kiroi took it upon himself to be quite the Kiroi, Yomari, such Moth folk hunter. - Okay. - Well. - It's time, we have to go and see this just beautiful beast of a Hamanu, I mean, we, right? I mean, Evo's kind of looks at you. - I'm sorry. (laughing) - Oh, to bond him to his rightful muck. - Yes, nice save, let's go. (laughing) - All right, make our way down. All right, so you, you make your way down and join the other two with Maurei, who is now, and as you three note, you all notice what they all did, and you also about his, the trophies, the sash, the crossbow, and his back, the dagger, and all that stuff. You also notice that he has face paint under here, under his eyes, and he's now excitedly talking to Tuckmith and Fennel, and he's like, "I just, I didn't think I could get bonded." He's like, "Oh, I've killed a lot of cura, is that okay?" Like, "Yeah, that's totally cool, that's chill." - In the void, I've missed hearing about the voids so much. - Do you wanna see my meditations? - Yes. - Yes. (laughing) - So this is what you want. - You wanna see my, her things. - Hold our things. (laughing) - Hold our things, look at all of our trophies. - Hold our bones. - Hold our bones and nuts. - Be proud of our trophies. - Hold our bones. - Oh my God. (laughing) - You're the one that did the best. - You really need to stay on track, come on now. (laughing) - Get your mind out of the gun. (laughing) - Did you walk up to Moray being offered to hold things? - You're just so proud of our stuff. - Yeah, we're proud of our stuff. - No. - Be proud of us, dad. (laughing) - If you are not dead, - I'm tired of you. (laughing) - I'm as pretty dead. - I've never had. - I've never had. - Well, you have one now. - I'm forcing parents to join you. (laughing) - Oh, hello. - Oh, stop me. - Oh, don't bleed, dad. (laughing) - You're the most terrifying part of it. (laughing) - You're quite right. - What? - We are part of, no. (laughing) We're part of Finland and, um, and talk me a sky-born group. Hello. - We're friends. - Mm-hmm. - And we are family. - Did you know you can do that? - You can't sound mad at friends. - Yeah. - Like, just people you spend time with? - That doesn't sound right. - No, it is. - It's so much fun. - And you can actually do rituals together, too, once you start. You know, once everyone is conceded that, yes, in fact, we are friends. - The only ritual I do is before a kill. - What is it? - Yeah, what do you say? - I'm a chant to myself, and I say, let this Q-roy satisfy my blood thirst until the next, and then I kill them. I didn't drink that one yet. - We? - I'm gonna need to drink that one soon. I'm kind of thirsty. - You cough, too? (laughing) - Yeah. - Bro, you cough? - Bro, you didn't even cough. - Oh, you cough? - Have you ever known it looked like a delicate flower on the outside? (laughing) - You didn't even get wet. - Your teeth look wet? - It's true. - Oh, God. - Your teeth. (laughing) - In the U.S., you shatter, didn't you? - What the? - Yes. - What the? (laughing) - What the? - Well, yes, yes we did. - We showed you. - I didn't. - Well, no, I did, but yes. - I did get this cool scar. - And you know I got it, too. Thank you for that. - So you both, like, leans up against the. (laughing) - Oh, and Evo's cough, too. - Ah, a cough. - A cough? - Our accent. - Yes, Evo fainted. - I fainted, yes. - Evo puffs his his hand down. (laughing) - It was okay. - Evo's helped. Yes, it was not. We did not expect to have to break. - It's okay. - Shadow, it wasn't, it felt terrible, but it was necessary to defeat. The light chroma forms the evilness of chroma that sprouted forth from our friends. - I'm not sure if it was necessarily necessary, but we live for chaos. - Yeah, we did some weird shit today. - Mm-hmm. (laughing) - Marie, have you encountered any strange creatures made of light down here, anything aside from the Yamari? - No. I asked him if it's seen anything weird, and he said no. - We've talked about specificity, if I know. - Oh, I don't know what that word means. - That's why you don't remember. - Well now we haven't given her enough books. - Yeah, but I can't really read a whole lot of them yet. I can read every like fifth word. - God, this clues can get you. - Most of the way. - Most of the way. (laughing) - So, um, so, oh, sorry. The first time I got here, even there. - Even, how did the polgo? How did it go? (laughing) - I told you how it goes. It's hard to get off the phone. - Right? - It's hard to get off the phone with my bond mate. - Sure. - But, yes, but what transpired, like, is he bringing people, are we free to leave or should we stay? - Yeah, so, they said they sent a party to meet us halfway, and the glad Rohanah said that she's glad that we found the temple, and it's weird. I don't know. She didn't say much about those weird, double things, but she also was kind of excited about it, but she didn't say why. - What do you mean they're gonna meet us halfway? - They're gonna, they're gonna, she already sent a party after us. - Oh! - She didn't tell us that, but. - Oh, I see. - So, there's already people on their way, so if we just track back a little, we'll meet up with them. - That feels kinda weird. - Are we gonna have? - Why do we, why don't we just wait here for them? - Yeah, I don't wanna leave the cave. - Ooh, they're, they're more, I can tell 'em. - Okay, they're more, I mean. Moreg, how many keroi are there down here? - Oh, well, I haven't seen any in a while. This one was by itself, and I've gotten pretty good at you living here. I just roam, I don't live anywhere, I travel, and. - He's a no-man. - Are you sad or horny, I can't tell. - They might be the same thing, and you know what, I'm gonna write that down. - 'Cause I definitely am the same. - Actually, this is its own separate section in my book, what is horny? - Question mark? - You know my thoughts better than I do than myself. Am I more, am I sad or horny? - No, that's the bend diagram I do not wanna see. - I would say definitely, yeah, the metal. - Oh, some bend diagram's a merely a circle. - I'm gonna write that down. - That's an inspirational quote, I need on a mug right now. (laughing) - All right, so now that we're all sufficiently sad and horny, what do we want to do? - I am not interested. - I mean, I know what we thought. - You're really missing out. - You know what, I think I would, I don't know, well, I think I would prefer to stay here in the light and bathing in the fractal light. - Are we safe here? - Yeah, I think so. I mean, I have a pretty good sense of when Q-roy are coming and that was the only one that I've seen in a while in this area, so I should be fine. - But maybe we could set traps right there. - I wanna explore a little bit if the overlight is coming down here. Maybe it's going somewhere? - I don't know. - I mean, of course. - I don't know, I'm not talking about that. - Oh yeah, 'cause I go past him. Does the over, does the seep in it. - Can he see it? - If he's not a skyborne? - Yeah, he's not skyborne, so no. - He can't see it. - Where do we see it going? - We look crazy. - You know, all the fractals? - Do you see the fractals? - Yeah! (laughing) - So once you re-entered the cave, you're not seeing the fractals right now, but when you were in it before, and during the battle and all your chroma use, you actually did go further into the cave, and it was, it was almost like there was not a barrier, but there was a point where it just, there was no feel of that anymore. - So is localized towards the entrance of the tunnel? - It's really weird. - Do we feel it where we are, down here with Marie? - No. - You should go back to the entrance. - Well, when you went there before, there wasn't anything there. Maybe it's like a slow burn, maybe it has to, you know, develop. - I just don't like the idea, I don't like the idea of Rohana's groove arriving here without us. - Wait, what if there is something deeper in that's pulling the light towards it? - That's what I was thinking, but wouldn't we feel it here if it was on the way? - Maybe it was just directing us to Marie, because we did have a group talk about how we would like to help Brill if we could, and even the smallest, good deed might attract overnight. - That's true. - Let's bring him up to the front. - If anyone wants to do a folklore role. - Yeah. - Can we all do it? - Yeah. - I don't think I have. - That folklore. - Yeah. - I don't have it either, but well anyway, who knows, folklore role. - Can I do a folklore compassion, because I am with my friends? - That's good. - Yes. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Lower in logic? - Now, let me think first again. Yes, folklore compassion, folklore logic. - Yeah. - Whatever you, whatever virtue you choose, you're whatever, yeah, it'll reflect. Go ahead. - Words, saying words. Right. Three. - Oh dang. - Wow. - Pump it up. - Pump it up. - Pump, pump it up. - One, two. - Maybe you're doing it again. (laughing) - One up. - One. - Four. - Oh, one with a four, so two. - Nice. - Actually, Alex. - Yeah, you think that's a spirit point? - I think that's a spirit point. - You buff it up to four. - You're connected. - Udo. - Okay. - Udo. - Oh. - Six. - Oh. - Six. - One. - All right. - Did you roll your flare? - Your spirit? - Yeah, you did. (laughing) - Oh, I missed one for the day. - Oh. - I see. - One and a flare, so two. - Two. - Okay. - Nice. - I didn't watch all those. Who got who? - Two. - I'm gonna bank mine. - Four. - Okay. - Okay. - So, two. - Two. - No, four. - All right. - Yeah. - So, I want a bank mine too. - Okay, we have nine. - We have nine. - You have nine. - And you fail? - No, we haven't. - We're willing at once. - Got it, it's not us. - Okay. - So, Matt, you seem to, you remember something from your book and you flipped through your pages. Back to when you visited, back to when you talked to Rohana, you took notes on that conversation. And you're remembering some details now that you jotted in your notebook. And those details were that Rohana said that the text that they had finally figured out the meaning of when it came to fractal temples-- Of the ancient order? The ancient-- yeah, the ancient skyboard order said that they were occurrences that took place in different natural-- what's the word? Natural form-- yes, thank you. Like rock formations and stuff. Yeah, rock formations and things like that. So these caves, as you've seen them in, it also said-- she also said at that point that they were activated somehow. And she said something about communion and connection of the party in that place. And the overlight flowing in at that time, all together seemed to be the activation. But she wasn't sure how it would happen. I got it, guys. Really? Yes, do they? Oh, I'm going to have to play like Dan again. Oh, wait, sorry, sorry. Fennel, you, through your compassion, you actually remember some details from that talk, but mostly through your compassion. You're thinking about, OK, what did it feel like the last time we were fighting? You remember that you were afraid. You remember that you felt like-- sometimes you felt rage because you wanted to just defeat these other versions of yourselves. At the other frantic, fractal temple, you felt delight and curiosity and wonder. But every time it was always like a very big spike of emotion. Tickle party. I think we all need to-- Yeah, we need to come together. Part of it in that game again. We need to get emotional. We are the reason why. The ritual. Because that's not going to get a game. Yes, the children do it. It is very formal. It is very fun. So fun, that's why. Talk, Mark, can you suspend us all again? I can try. OK, I think-- We should all go towards the front and be in the light and do it there, because maybe if we're in the light, we can help it grow. That's smart. I wouldn't mind trying that. That makes sense. Yes, should we summon it again or wait until there are more sky blue on to experience it? Let's just try it out. I think we should-- I think by the time we get here, it's fun. Yeah. Are they getting here? We get here? I mean, that was always a risk. That was always a risk. Let's do it now. Yeah, it's here now, why not? Let's summon some mobilite. Yeah. I can try again when other people get here. OK. I'm going to squid back up the passage. OK, you squid and yourself back up the passage. I feel like we should explain some aspect of this to-- Eva's-- --Tomoray. Oh, just tell him on the way. OK. Eva's the sky blue on here next to me. Eva's the sky blue and he'll participate. I don't entirely trust him after say. Like he said, Rohan, I was excited about the chroma doubles, but not-- He might not know anything. I mean, she seems to be excited by any new knowledge of the overlight. I'd be excited to find a new form of it. Yeah, I see. I suppose that's animated overlight. Yeah, almost-- There was a portal. It was, Tim. That is exciting. Now that you say it, I guess, the fear of the moment kind of-- You can actually touch the overlight and it's a physical being. That was really cool. Yeah, you didn't know that it has to be. Or is evil, but this time it was. Fair point. It's touches of the overlight book that we just don't have access to yet. Quite exciting. I'm documenting all of it and see what we get. And so you all are heading towards the entrance? OK, entrance. Do you tell him or anything? Yeah, I just-- So we-- You turn to look at him and he's already hunched over the Yamari and drinking its blood. I ratchet a little bit and then we'll be back. We'll be back. It's fine. Don't, don't, don't, don't get up. Don't get up. You're enjoying your dinner. He just is like feasting on this. Oh my gosh, if you throw up, is it like an owl pellet? Yeah. It's like a whole thing and it's like a whole thing. It's solid and you can see the little bones. And you have to-- Oh my goodness, it's going so fast. Yeah, so yeah, my gizard going-- Gizard going-- I look a weird time. Are you dying so, man? How old are you more chicken? Because chickens are the closest to dinosaurs. Is that true? Yeah. I mean, I feel like I'm pretty much in a beautiful Archaeopteryx point. Archaeopteryx? Archaeopteryx? Oh, yeah. Lisa, do you want some sand? Sites. Do you have some extra science for you? Pockets. OK, so you all are heading back up to the entrance. Evo's-- should I follow-- Yeah. Yeah, I think you need to be part of this, actually. I mean, we're all right. Sure. Evo's. OK. Yeah, see, Vos, your skyborne, as well, it would kind of be selfish of us, too. I wonder, yeah. I mean, just in case-- just in case, I can just stand outside and see what it looks like from outside. No. If we have more people, the-- It feels, I'm a community, to not have you with us. Yeah, we can see you. We can see you. Maybe Mare, would you want to observe? Oh, yes, Mare. What happens? You look back at Mare and he's still like-- Mare. But wait, Mare can't see the overlay. Do you mean Evo's? No, I mean Mare. Mare, can you bring with you? Right. Can you-- can you bring in one more? Ah! Oh, god. He's a fool, but-- Chainless. Yeah, chainless. What happened? Do we have to just wait until he's done? Well, I think we should just get to the entrance and hear the following. Can you just bring it like a sippy cup or something? Well, he could, but his mind is obsessed at the moment. Oh, he's like primal. Yes, it is full primal gray right now. No room for anything else. Evo's is like, I can get primal sometimes, just, you know. I feel a little red. What about this one? Really? No, yeah, it's fine. I mean-- Can you really? Yeah. Does this sound right for primal is part? Yes, that seems to be working. OK, so you all-- you make your way up. And so it sounds like you want Evo's to stick with you and be part of this? Absolutely. OK, since we don't have as much space or any pillows this time, maybe we can all just do a movement or a gesture that perhaps reflects either, you know, something you connect to or a part of yourself. And that would work. Done. I already got it. I know what I'm going to do. OK. Are we going to start? Go show it. Can we-- is there enough room that we can form, like, maybe it's at least a small circle? OK, cool. You're in the entrance of the-- is that right? You want it to be in the entrance? Yeah, so you're like-- Where is the overlap? It's like the central area where it's great, yeah. So that entrance, it really is just a cave entrance. So the overlight flows straight into it, and then it gets dimmer and dimmer as you go further down. But, yes, you're standing in the entrance. So you're standing at the crest of where, before when you saw that light fall, it was like starting to turn into the fractured overlight. So that's where you're standing. OK, then. OK. You said you wanted to start filming? Yeah. OK, ready? Here we go. She's going to do the-- previously, when they'd been in the overlight, she had been reaching into it and, like, photosynthesizing it, and she was doing this sway. She's going to do that same little sway dance thing she was doing before remembering how delicious it felt to have all that light on all of the branches, even though she's missing a couple now. Sorry. Matt, do you want to go next? And then I just continue that motion, just one sweep of the wings, and then drop. And one more big up. And then I throw the indivisible ball to my mouth, Matt. I took it last. Sipped it. But Evos. Oh, Evos is the best. Evos just, like, broadens his chest and just, like, thumps on it. Oh, yeah. With my tiny little hand. [SCREAMING] Ow. Oh, I am just a group hug. [LAUGHTER] Prams and pass you. I think I slowly put my hands on my mask. And I apprehensively look around. Oh, what's going on? I apprehensively-- I don't know if I want to do it in my room. Yes. Slowly. Pull it up. Reveally. A regular face. [LAUGHTER] Well, that's not what I was expecting. Hi, guys. Hi, Matt. You look totally normal. I was expecting some weird tentacle shit up in there. No. Totally normal. Really insecure. This protects me, by-- We can show each other our real faces. - That was beautiful, thank you for sure. - This is a real thing, new news. - Talk to me, pulls off the flesh of her. - Oh no! - Oh no! - No. - Just this, y'all, it's an, ah, ah, ah. - Come on. - You look so cute. - I'm new. - I'm new. - I'm new. - I'm new. - No. - No. - That means a lot, thank you. - That was a really intimate moment. - I like you guys, you guys. - Oh, we like you. - You guys are a-okay on my list. - Wow. - I love you. - All right, everybody ready? - Yeah. - Let's do it. - On the count of three. Oh yeah, we're jumping in the air. - Uh-huh. - Do you have to roll? Did you roll already? - I was. I haven't. - Okay. - Don't need to do that first. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay. - We'll see if it even works. - Uh-huh. - Uh-huh. - And we're sort of fudging this still, right? - Yeah. - Unless we gained XP from the battle or something. - The, ah, oh wait, is this the one you can't do? - Yeah. - So we fudged it last time just for, uh, flavor. - Yeah, yeah. Okay. - We'll do the same. - Uh, okay. Logic and logic. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - I need one more. Here we go. - Mm-hmm. - Oh, farts. One success. - Is that a seven over there? - What's up four? - What's up four? - So what's up four? - Mm-hmm. - I need one more. Here we go. - What's up four? - Oh, yeah. - I'll expand the skill point to make it a luminous. - All right. So, um, you used up my good role on something very weird. (laughs) So, yeah. Okay. So you. - Mm. - Sorry. Sorry. Dancing tonight. (laughs) - Why would you be sorry about that? - It was just a bad timing. - Oh, she did. - Oh, I just pressed that. - Ah. (laughs) Okay. So you bring out your, you all jump up in the air, right? - Run. - Run. - There we go. - And then at that moment I'll jump up, but at the same time sort of throw and push out my black meditation sphere, so it's in the center of the circle. And the, the orb of sort of expands out from, from that 20 feet radius and encompasses all of us. And that's when the time stops and everything's moving very, so yeah. So now you all feel very excited to be doing this again. And um, the first time you did this specific combination of things, you were in a council chamber and in the Skyborne Palace and the palace unseen. But now you're doing this in the entrance to a fractal temple with overlight flowing over you. You have another Skyborne friend there with you and you also have been through battle together. And so this time, you start to feel the, the sphere that you're in, this void sphere, um, kind of move, um, and the, the excitement and joy you're feeling, it kind of is pulsating with that. And you all realize that you are together controlling the movement of this sphere. So if one of you is thinking, that's castle, um, one of us is definitely thinking, it's final. I want to go in the light. You want to get closer to the light. You start, you do not start to notice those fractals start flowing back in again. So you've activated this temple again and the fractals are flowing over the sphere and even permeating the sphere and into it. And Fennel is like, I want to go to the light. And she doesn't say it out loud. You all feel it and hear that willfulness and the, the sphere shoots out and it goes into the valley and goes straight up into the air. Whoa. It goes over the shard and you see these beautiful violet peaks all around you. You are above even the clouds and the snow. You're in some clouds. It is a gorgeous, incredible sight and you are just kind of slow motion floating and looking at each other with those feet, looks on your faces. Yeah. I start head being incredibly slow. And then on that bottom line, I think I heard about standing in the air. On Takuma's thought it shoots down and it starts plummeting towards the valley. Nope. Nope. And then Fennel. Back up. Nope. Back up. You two back up again. Do that place above the clouds. Do we see anything up there? Like maybe the source. I feel light. Make a perception roll. Wisdom perception? Yes. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We can't communicate very well while we're in this bubble. No. It's very slow communication. That's three. I guess I could bump it. Um. Okay, yeah. I'll use a skill point to bump it too. Not luminous. Radium. Radium. Beautiful. Okay. So Takuma, you look out and you look out and through the sphere, the, um, basically it looks like you're in a dark gray bubble, right? That's kind of what the sphere looks like, dark, black, grayish bubble. It's sort of clear, but like was pulsating, like, black energy. Yes. So you can look through that and that's where you're seeing the violet peaks of Z and Earth below you. And you start to look around to, to look down to see where the overlight was coming from. And it literally was just the overlight coming from the sky, um, that was being fed into that cave opening. So it's the entrance that is more of like a filter rather than a particular source. Yes. Uh, but you, with, so you had a radiant success, you noticed something else too. So you're high enough up to see, um, far away and you see, uh, a caravan coming. Um, you can't see who's in it from this perspective, but I will give you something. You're, you guys are super connected right now, so if you, if you, um, let someone else know about this, I'll let someone else make another role and if, I'll add success to that, if they were well. You're all, uh, yeah, you do have a, the quickest connection, but you all are pretty, you know, connected right now. Mm-hmm. So perception. Yes. Here we go. Y'all. Y'all. Oh, no. No. Failure. Failure. What? Failure. Okay. Oh, no. Okay. So, um, so you, um, you see this caravan far away. And you are able to, similar to the way that that map populated in this, in this bubble before, because you all were trying to find this place, um, that caravan, a version of that caravan, like in the light, the iridescent light forms in front of you all. So you, you can kind of see it and you look inside. Does anyone else want to do perception? I was like, okay. Perception. I'm not high perception, but I'm good. Yeah. Not me, but, no, I think. Wisdom and logic, I mean, I might be the high perception with compassion. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Because I'm connected to my friends, can I use compassion instead? Yes. Passion perception. That's huge. Anything connected to my friends? Mm-hmm. You can vigorously perceive something. Aggressively scary. Oh, that's a good part. Nettle Perception. Oh, that was one. Oh. I'm gonna use a point to bomb it up. Nice. To succeed. Because I want to see stuff. Yes. Alright, caravan. So you're not a caravan. So how much did you get? Two. Alright. Um, so you are able to just make out sitting in the caravan is Rohana herself. Oh. Dang. So this is her. What's her expression? Her expression. Mm-hmm. Um, she is, by the way, she's clutching that book. And she. It's this. Excited. Determination. Yeah, determined. Excited. You see just like. Yeah. So it's were all connected. Can I think to them like it's a telepathic link so I don't have to go slow? Absolutely. Should we go to her? Let's bowl, let's bowl float down to her. Is there all that consent? We could be able to pick them up. Not in the mystery machine. Yeah. Yeah, in the fun bubble. Yes. Overlight isn't for just us. It's for everyone. Yeah. I do love the idea of like floating down there and then slow motion. Reaching a hand out of the bubble and like pulling It is like such a cool that is a good idea. Oh, this is the best superhero Okay, let's go town I was like you like look down Agreed to yeah mentally agree to you start to float down I was evos's companion there. Oh, yes, okay, because evos could maybe communicate with Uh, oh, that's their companion monk and let them know we're coming. We're coming and Not today could get in if they want. Yeah, that's a good idea. This is not like an intimidation. He evos is Real his mind is blown right now. He's drunk. He's not like he Lee on nectar. Okay He's like he I don't think he's gonna like focus enough to Um to do that. So you all float down towards the caravan and This thing zips it moves really fast and it's a bit You you guys this is new to you. So you're kind of like oh uh You're controlling it and you're still learning that so it's it's kind of not a smooth ride yet But you are like sipping down pretty fast towards the caravan and then you abruptly stop near I have an idea. Tell me if this is possible. I would like to concentrate and send a message Into a little bubble that separates off goes into the caravan pops and it just says hey, it's phenomenal. Um We're gonna need to After this bridge All right, thank you. I just hope that to happen. This like bubble comes down. It looks intimidating pops Hey, it's phenomenal We will be back in 10 minutes For the last half of it The violent violent peaks. I forgot to say the name before the violent violent. Oh gosh Violet you can make it the first one too though. Oh, we're going to break. We'll see you back Welcome back to overlight fractured paradox episode six the violent peaks Wow I was I was I was just weirdly pausing dramatically The violent peaks the finale um you need to make that contact with me. I go wow She's true. It's actually a six-boy friend Wow We used to go in one wow we should go out Okay, so you all have but Jerkily drifted slash floated down in your voids fear and you've just like stop just short of this caravan um and so make a quick note That uh since I only got a luminous this whole thing only lasts 10 minutes. Oh good to know So time is frozen Inside right This is the good point I'm with her yeah time is very slow inside but on the outside it it's right outside time It's 10 minutes. Okay, it's outside But you So you guys swoop down and you put up against the caravan Vennel you wanted to do something I wanted to try and put a message into a tiny piece of the bubble that popped off Went into the caravan pop. Okay. Hey, it's Vennel. This is this. There's okay um Yeah, we this is a new thing. We don't know if that can I ask her to help me let's yeah, let's have you both roll How about talk make you roll for the voids fear manipulation and you roll for um the message Can I do Compassion obviously definitely compassionate and I was a performance or inspiration can I do persuasion? Should persuade them that it's us and not something I don't think so because there's no threat they why I don't Well, I that's the only reason I was doing it is because I was afraid that they would look at my Look at the bubble and be like what is this attack? Okay Um, what was it you said I got to you got to success so aloofness. Okay. You said performance or Um, I would say performance or inspiration. I'm untrained in neither or in both You got this we leave it on this world of mind-length. Can we help? That's true. Okay, great. Our luminous equals of radiance Okay, okay, so talk me you are able to The voids fear does it So it was a luminous success And this is your new to this voids fear thing we don't know what this is and what this like shape does really So instead of a bubble popping off you are able to It's just far to an hurt Bumbles like tar and it's like May you are able to permeate it and and fennel you just move past it and there's kind of like an imprint on the side of it of you and you it's like on the side of the caravan Wagon that rohanna isn't and so you're like hi And rohanna just have you seen that video of the the person in the pikachu suit that like presses its face again? Oh, it's that Sure, I haven't seen it, but I believe you She's like melting Um, so rohanna First is terrified, but you succeeded and she just kind of Um, she doesn't even know what to do whether to stop the wagons and up so she just kind of moves closer to the window and Puts touches it Oh, it's terrifying Hi, can they hear me if I speak? No, you're also very slow motion. Oh, yeah, we can't move really not right. Um, can I Fog up the glass with my breath and write a message on it. Um, that would literally take you a hundred you In your mouth and the second so rohanna touches it and the second she touches it You your bubble moves away instinctively How long have we been in the bubble? Um, it's been more. It's been minutes. It has been 10 minutes. Oh, okay. Wait the bubble moves away instinctively. Yeah, is that Like a defensive like no one a role perception. Yeah, I would love to know that I would say intuition or perception In anyone else who wants to you all witness it moving you all saw this happens. Yeah, we all go what? Oh Compassionate and survival I'm gonna now let's keep it to and a straight up just Yeah, yeah, thank you. So what do we have? Go ahead. It's literally like what just happened. Yeah. All right, so I'm completely untrained I'm gonna use my stir-fler immediately Oh, sorry To I got a two and a bank in the flair. All right. I got a two and banked it to where I did it cuz you're gonna be My man, so we're at nine, huh? Yeah, we have a nine. Yeah, only six. Yes Okay, uh, two I'm gonna flare we both sorry. Sorry. I don't know. See you both got to you luminous in bank. Did you roll yet? I didn't roll I'm not really sure what I should roll on today. Could I do beastways I mean skills though. What do you would need a virtue and uh, oh Then I guess compassion and then perception or intuition untrained um Okay, since we're in the bubble. Yes compassion, but definitely definitely intuition or perception. Okay. So then it'll be 3d10 and a d6 Okay, you have one success. Do you want to bump it up with a spirit flare? We have yes You successes up table. Yeah, I don't know if you know if you want to we need we have three one step close through the break. Yeah So you so everyone got two and it's everyone who got two is you you wait you're not using your promise. You don't have to I'm not I'm spending the spirit point. That's right. Yes. So the three of you got Did you use the succeed? Yes. Okay, so the four of you succeeded um Udo's you're you know what it is but you all um in state since you are controlling this bubble You all just feel something when she touches it Udo's yours is just um It it just uh shakes you and you feel like your might just kind of takes over for a second and you just like oh The rest of you feel also this unease but you Have a little bit more perception of what it could be and you just feel that this This person's energy who touched it, this person wants to do things that might hurt people. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, [Music] with you and he says, "I don't know." - No. - I don't know. - We got a nope, the heck out of here. - And he looks pissed too though. Like, he's not happy about this. - We gotta leave. - Leave us. - No, we need that book, guys. - We need that book. - But I don't think we should fight her. - No, I think we should. What else could we do? - Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. - Evo, what did you tell your partner to grab the book and jump in the bubble with us? - Oh, that's really smart, my children. - Evo hears you, but his rage is still pretty high. Just so you know, he feels very betrayed emotionally because this is someone who he looked up to. And now that- - Oh, we could try. - The Void Sphere, that tells him, like, I shouldn't have trusted her. So he hears you, but he also is just really pissed. So he abruptly, like, breaks through. - Oh no. - The Void Sphere. - Oh no. - And the Caribbean comes to stop. - Oh no. - The Void Sphere, what does it mean? - If people stop consenting, they fall out of it, but it doesn't. - It stays, it doesn't. - Do you guys remain in the Void Sphere? - Right, yeah. - But he breaks out of it and he just lunges at Rohana and just, like, takes her shoulders. And you can't hear outside the bubble, but you just see him, like. - Hey, I'm Ashley, host of "Crime Salad." And every week, my husband Ricky joins me as my partner in crime.

But the void, the void sphere is 20 feet and radius. So that's 40 feet in diameter. So you're larger than the caravan vehicle. But you're kind of like connected to it. Like if you took a big balloon and just like put it on a car window. - Can I, here's my question. Can I use root while in the sphere to use my own roots grab out, grab the book and pull it away? - I think if you let me know, I can sort of determine how certain things move through the sphere. And like the example in the book is sort of like, if a river happens to be flowing through it, you can sort of decide whether that's stop through time or goes on as natural. So I think maybe with the natural element like that, we could either. - Like form fit it to my roots so that when they reach out, it's still covered by the void sphere. - Oh, I don't think so, but I don't think it would be, I don't think you would want it to be, 'cause you would want it to flow in real time outside. - Yeah, okay, I don't think my branch is out. - I was born to fly, I can just remove consent and dip out and try to do like a might and win lower role to get out of her hands, then just like that. - Can you paroxys him in her face to distract her and I can grab the book? - Can try, I think that's more moving parts. - Yeah. - I can go for the grab and if I fail, then I, we can. - What are you rolling for the grab? - I was gonna do win lower and might, so 3D8, 3D6. Yeah, that's not amazing, but that I can also. - What is pulling the caravan? How is it moving? - Ooh, it's. - Oh, girl! - Oh, oh, oh, oh! - It's some type of big girl, not being involved with some evil. - Okay, it's the bed. - Can I try a Chroma that I've never used before? - I know I'm not, I don't wanna take from what you guys is playing, but my Chroma's master of fine fingers and master of fine fingers. - Wow, that's a pro-wife. - Yeah. - And, you know what I mean, stuff like that. - Is it just straight up like steel and item? - It can be, yeah, either I can like have the precision and speeding grace when using my hands from fine detail work to a slider hand. - Can you just reach out and. - I think I can just, yeah, with my five. - What are you rolling for? - Give it a shot. - So, wisdom and vigor. So, my wisdom is not quite there, but my vigor is at a DA, so I mean, it's worth a shot. - We can try all three plans one after the other if they don't work. - Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm done. - Okay. - Let's just all be prepared to do them really quickly. - Maybe we should do this right now. - Should we try Udoa's plan first? - Yeah, let's do it. - If you guys want me to, I don't wanna do that. - Okay, let's do it. - Since we're so close to the caravan, you could probably jump on it, and then if you get it, you could launch yourself back into the sphere. - Okay. - So you just have to, just a reminder that the window, the opening, side opening, like a window, car window of the caravan is kind of like, the bubble is like, just pressed against it. So, it's like that window was the bubble blower that blew our bubble. - Sure. - Yes, yes, yes, okay. So you can either like go through that opening, or you can jump on top of the caravan and go to the other side, or. - Well, this is happening. Sorry, can you manipulate the bubble so that it covers both windows so that she can't try and escape through one? - Ooh. - I can't, if there's people on it or around it, it's a consent thing. So I can't. - Just like a bean shape on top of it. - It's a 20-foot radius. So I don't think I can manipulate it like that unless I roll top. - How about you guys create a distraction? - This is not distraction. - No, but I'm just saying. - This is super distracted. - Instead of having to. - Also, evos is creating a distraction. - Yeah, it's just distraction, yeah. - This is the perfect time to try to take care of it. - Yeah. - Okay. - So the book that you're a little potty and that window. - Little. - Six acre. - I mean, but you're like, get here. Yeah. - I'll be your window slipper. I'll be here to use my might to pull you back out. - Yeah. - Or she can catch you. - Then I'm gonna be at the window just trying to make scary faces. - Nice. So we're out. Where you do not go. - I'm trying to do it. - It's so good. - It's so good. - It's so good. - And try to. - It's so cool. - You have this. - A low G line. - From her. - Sorry, you're trying to do it. - I want to try to retrieve this book. - Okay, do you want to go through the window and do that? That's the quickest route to her. - Yeah, I think going through the window is gonna be the easiest way to do it. Then jumping on top of the. - Yeah, I think it's just easier for me to kind of just literally reach my hand in, grab it. - Okay. - If I have a successful master of fine figures, you're like yelling, "You're a master of fine figures." - You're like, "You're a master of fine figures." - No, fine figures. - And I'm playing con-classical piano. (all laughing) - That's a distraction. - Right, right, right. - Right, right, right, right, right. - And I'm playing that. - Oh, I was gonna stop. That's so scary. - My reflection, if you were single, did he ever say anything? (all laughing) - Master of fine figures. - High exclamation mark. - I guess I'm gonna put two, you know what, it deserves two. - Okay, guys, this works. - Ah! - Oh my god. - What? - Oh my god, that's. - No, you don't want, yeah, use a point in bump. - I see one. - It's one, it's me. - Yeah, use a point in bump. - That's the five or six. - That's a five. - The golden one. - Five, three. - The PP one. - Four, five. - Got it. Okay, so do you want to bump? - Yes, let's bump. - All right, so then you have a luminous wind and a sea. - Until the end of the scene, you may raise your virtue rating by one level when performing any skill test involving feats of manual dicks, 30 in skill. - Nice. - Okay, so another skill test. - And if the test rolls, you may reroll one failed die. So yeah, you do have to do another skill test. - That's great, that's good. - For the actual maneuvering of getting the book. - Okay. - Put it from her evil hands. - Tope. - I like how we had won, the bubble reacted once, and we're all just like, she's the. - Yeah. (laughing) - Overlight work tells you everything. - These are our void news. - The void news. - We're all felonins, this is our divine sense. - Define bubble. - Oh my god, you're right though. - Bubble sense. - Bubble intellect. - Bubble intellect. - Bubble intuition. - Bubble bin for the skill test. - Bubble bubble bin. - Would I be able to use craft? (laughing) - Excuse you. - Yes, I would allow that because you are using a manual dexterity, this is something that requires manual dexterity. So yeah. - Can I use my might as a virtue? - To wrestle it on her hands? - Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. - Well, that's true. - Yeah. - My in craft. - If she's holding onto a tight, you've got to pull her in might. - Wait, how does craft work? - So anything with manual dexterity? - Oh, okay, it's craft. - Yeah, that's what I'm. Since that is also like his character's thing. - For us, I don't think it makes sense, of how it does go after first. - Right. - All right, so go ahead and roll that craft and might-- - Noise, noise, noise, noise. - Noise, it's a lovely noise. - And you get to reroll one, failed die too. - If you fail. - If you fail. (laughs) - Look at my dude. - Me, so that means if you only get one or none. But if he gets like three or four, he can't. - Yeah, that makes it nice. - That's a lot. - By the way, it's so lovely. - I mean, it would be a nice. - It would be nice. It would be very much like the brush really. - Yeah. - I think we're like God's. - It does look like that, man. - Ooh, it's okay. - Seven. - Whoa, whoa. - That's a ten. (cheering) (cheering) - You like Brisbane half? - Oh, no. That would not be good. No, it would not, no, no. - Oh, no. - I was just saying this is a nasty thing. - How about Mike G, have fallen. - So, you move over to the window and you have Chanu behind you, ready to pull you back in. And I think there's someone else. Everyone's standing by to help this happen. - I was just making faces. - You start to point your body in kind of like an arrow and dive out of the void sphere. And all of a sudden, you're just jostled because now you're in the normal timeframe and you're in the caravan. - That's probably the worst experience. - It's a very drawing experience. - Because my other half is still a bubble. - Yeah, so the more of your body that's moved out, pushed out by your friend too. - You are jostled more and more. - But you're able to maintain your city. And as you get closer to Evo's, you can hear now that he's saying, what are you doing? What is this? I trusted you. You are a leader. You are everything. What is, and he's just kind of like in a rage. So you move past Evo's and you are able to very expertly Rohan is just in a shock and just like try, she tries to get a word out to calm him, but she can't even. And you are able to slip the book out of her arms and she feels it, but it just helps her escape. She wants to get further away from him. So she doesn't even think about it. She just moves back. And you creep back, you are, you start to move back into the bubble and they sense that so they pull you back in. - Hey. - Do you believe my friend? - Look at what I got. - I love it. - I love it. - Oh, it's an absolute fine thing. - I'm gonna try and make eye contact with Rohan. And just go, I want to have you roll for whether or not she sees that or senses that. - Dang it. - Slow motion. - I think it's funnier if she doesn't. - Right? - Probably. - You're gonna roll. - Finale and Elton. - In the background floating down into the-- - The closest thing we can get here. - I like a middle finger. Can we do a tiny little bit more? - A little break finger. - Yeah. - But she doesn't understand them. - So just FYI, I'm having you roll because you have the book, the thing you wanted to get away from her. So if you do something that then catches her attention, she might try to get it back. So this is to see if you can keep the book and get away without her trying to get it back from you right in this moment. - Oh crap. - Dang. - Okay. - Okay. - All right. - I'll see you. - Okay. - Once again, your hubris has ruined the day. - I mean-- - Yeah, all those other times, those days. - Yeah, look at this. - This is a last try. - It's been made for a real little vanyari. - So she can't help me. - Yeah. - She wants people to know when they're bad. - Yeah. - Just not like them. - Absolutely. - Okay. - So, um, I definitely will. - Oh god. - I would say this willy want a glass elevator. - You're sweet. - That's a little angry. - Oh my gosh. - If I roll really well, can I persuade her? - To leave me alone. - Yeah. - Intimidate. - Oh yeah. - But if you fail it, then she sees you. - Oh god. - She's going to find out. - Actually, if you fail it, she notices the book is gone and then she looks. She sees you. - So, persuasion will. - Persuasion will. - I have to beat her. It was an inch of her life. - Whoa. - Ask you to. - Um, to. - Okay. - Yeah. - To. - So you fail at being-- - Oh, no. You don't. - I'm good at being intimidating. - Yeah. - That was the success. So you're able to pull this off without her, like, releasing about being nice or noticing you guys in this bubble. - It's very like bubble with-- - I just wanted to know. I disappoint it. - Like when you get road rage, but you kind of wait till they're too far. - Yeah. - So they can't actually see anything. - Exactly. It's like, and then when they look, you're like. - I'm so angry person. I don't know why you're looking. - Right. I don't know. - So what will you do next? You're in the-- you all are in the voids. - Let's. - You communicate to you guys that I don't-- - I can't keep it up too much. - Yeah, yeah. - I was gonna say the same thing. - So we have to get back to the cave, because I don't think I can hold this here. - Okay, let's start moving. - Real fast, like a bullet. - All right, so you all want to go back to the cave. - Yeah, open it. - Yeah, look at that bullet. - All right. - And then we'll be away from them. - The voids fear Joltz, 'cause you're a dremelant of what you just did, taking the book and finding something weird out about Rohana and evos this rage, and so you zip away from the caravan and you fly back up and you kind of do a couple of wobbly things, 'cause now not only are you guys kind of like coursing with emotion and just confusion, but now talk me the effects of the bubble are starting to weaken, so you're having-- You all are having trouble controlling it. And you manage to head in the direction of the valley, and then you kind of crash land into the bottom of the valley, probably like 50 feet away from the entrance to that fractal cave, and it dissipates right as you-- - I feel bad for leaving evos there, but we had to. Let's see what this book holds. - Talk me a sort of collapse on the ground in front of the cave. - Oh, well, they never mind. - Can we scoop her up? - Yeah, yeah, I do not leave her. - Yeah. - It's true and about. I carry her. - Let's go in. - Never mind, screw the book. - Talk me, I'll steal. - Thank you. - We should hand the book to Matt. - Okay. - Yeah, I'll take it and start paging through it, but I'm not sure that we're safe here. They were coming to us. - Yeah, but we can't leave tomorrow. - We can't leave tomorrow. - And if Rohana is this evil, and we have discovered it, then it's our responsibility to get rid of it. - Well, she's already read the book, so whatever she was coming here to do with the fractal overlight, she's still gonna do it, so we have to defend it, don't we? - Yeah, I think so. Let's try to trap. - If Marie has been in this cave for a long time, he might know a good place to hide for a while, or, you know, we're to be safe for some reason, or how to set a trap. - Or how to set a trap, yeah. - Yeah. - Or how to lure a whole bunch of Yomari towards that caravan. - Oh, it's a bunch of-- - Oh, it's a caravan. - Oh, that's good. - That's good. - Although we would need to get the other people away, who didn't know that Rohana was evil. - Yeah, we'll have to touch the evil. - Oh, it'll be-- - I think they know now, evos have screaming. - That's true. - All right, so Udo, you're still holding the book, right? - Yeah, and I'm gonna lift off and just kind of like, keep about six to eight feet off the ground behind them, so I can page through it without having to walk behind them. And I'm just-- - You have not attached to your wings. So you put talons in-- - My foot talons? I guess I can-- - Yeah. - 'Cause I guess I have a little little back thing, where it's like part of my bone, my finger bones are, my wings. - Dang it. - And then your feet talon. - You can't beat one time. - Yeah, the book that was-- - Yeah, exactly. - So yeah. - I'm just like, I'm like curled into a weird little bar. - This goes worse, you can perch up on my shoulder, like we used to, back in the day, before evos. - That's very smooth. - But you were just saying, bro. - That's true. - I'm just saying, though. - All right, then I'd settle on to Udo's shoulder and start going through the-- - This feels right. - The book, yeah. - Killed trip. - So you're all heading-- - As you're doing that, you're all heading to the-- - Not to the cave, yes? - Morey, where are you? - See in the cave? - You don't hear any response. - Oh, God. - Oh, the screams echo down with the yelling knots? - The screams from the Yomari echoed up to the entrance. - You're in a snowy valley. And so-- - Oh, okay. - He was coming from an echoey. So the sound was going to slip. - So we just, you're into snowy-- - I think that absorbs sound, so no. - Okay, probably wouldn't reach him. - All right. - You can try again when you're closer. - Yep. - So Matt, you are, you are taloning, I was gonna say thumbing through, but taloning through the pages of this book. And you, first of all, it is still snowing, so you notice that some of the snow is like getting on the pages and you're trying to cover it with your wings, probably. - No, it's not smudging the ink. I assume this is like leather bound and all that stuff, so it's not gonna move towards-- - Yeah, it has, it's actually a polished wooden cover, which is kind of strange, but that same rainbow-stained wood, like it's out of town. - Oh, it's beautiful. - And like, oh, not a die strike. So that's what the cover is, and it's, yeah, it's a very beautiful or neat book. - Is there an index? Can I zero in on the fractal temple information? - It was in the middle of the-- - Let's roll for that out. - That's true. (all laughing) - It was, it was, it was. - I remember. - I just do the-- - Whoa, there it is. - Ooh, right in the middle. - Well, it probably isn't like dog here, or you know when you open to one page a lot? - Yeah, yeah. - If you just lay it flat, it'll just like open to that. - So ahead and roll, boop, boop. It's gonna be-- - Folk lower. - Folk lower logic. Yeah. Oh, look at that. (laughing) (laughing) - I'm also part horse. - Ooh. - Ooh. - Nice. - Bump it. Bump it. Bump it, bump it, bump it, bump it, bump it, bump it, bump it I'm good at book things book good book good. I book real good book well. Yeah, I did not I book great like in real like a real life I can only do audio books. Oh Okay, so you You got radiant success So you So you remember that Rohan I mentioned that this was a book that people the scholars had taken sections of and read and couldn't you know They couldn't decipher it. Yeah, people would spend their entire careers just looking at one section And you did she did open the book in front of you and you saw what that page looked like that had the fractal cave on it So you are able to look at you don't need to look at an index you do kind of thumb through it and you find that page Okay, that photo memory Yeah, so that was what you wanted to do find the page. Okay, can I just lie for anything on this page roll again? Oh I will take into account what you just rolled to give you a little bump. Okay in my mind Because I was a very good role in you that mind bump mind bump Flooding and that mind bump. Oh mind bump in one Shatter one success. I'll bump it to two was that like no that wasn't Also, I know me too. I was okay, so You can't decipher the text It's it's like there's an episode of Star Trek where Don't do that for those of you who know the dark mock episode of Star Trek where it's not that the language is different from there It's just that they speak in a different way in a different way like the grammar for instance I'm not saying this is the same, but in Star Trek is a metaphor or a link more to focal language in this You recognize the words, but they don't come together the way you understand the syntax doesn't make sense. Do you recognize certain You recognize a certain phrases and words like fractal temple you recognize Fractal overlight you recognize Unity connection all those kind of those things that Rohan was saying But you you you still don't you see I would like to actually go a little deeper. I have a chroma called awareness of the unseen and it is very much an Overlight Chroma and I'd like to maybe apply it to the text love it even though really what it does is show anyone who's hiding Even is something that is hiding using using a chroma or overlight Powered stealth or obfuscation, but I think it might apply to like really arranging things and the way that you know Like if I were dyslexic and then and then something came under toxic. It's like a black light. Yes Yes, the coding would show up. Okay. Actually, it's great. It's two wheels, but it's so that means that it's black light Okay, here we go Okay, so one It'll be too Huh, did you get one? Oh, yeah, she got one. I got one. Well then if you want a bump can I bump can I bump chroma? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the thing. Okay, okay, great So minus The rules today Okay We're at five eat. Yeah, we're at eight, but I spent three I spent two to the cast it and then I bumped it It costs you. Yeah, and then six. No, you'll wait five. Yeah, it was a five. Yeah, who you spent three and then did oh no We were at nine. We weren't we were at nine. So you're at six. Yeah I promise I promise. Okay, so um, I don't want to do math. That's not why I came here. Yeah There is no math in the overlight. Just kidding. Yeah, um, so chain Mott Let's assume you well you just walk over to my and who does because you're you're like Oh, let's take a look at that book what's going on? And so my point is I see you My calls out the few and be decoded. Give it. Yeah It's the face you make when you're doing so you only got a luminous look Nothing about You're a tall gal so you you are able to like peer over since he's so high up. You like hold it down because I'm just kind of like babbling and going like so like repeating phrases and Yeah, so um chain who looks at it and all of a sudden like there's something about her Time with void shamanism and even probably more so like silent stone monastery She sees the words and they kind of like put her in a meditative place and She sees that puzzle kind of come together as if the the paid the words are lifting and moving in places that makes sense for her brain Oh, and so in sections of the not the whole page, but sorry luminous success But you do see in big in big sections. This is starting to come into clarity for you. Yes And what you see what you read now is That the original ancient Skyborne order they stumbled upon these fractal temples in caves. They were usually in hiding because They were Skyborne and people were not accepting of that so they were sometimes being followed or hunted or just like jeered at bullied so they would go into these caves and To practice their chroma and by practicing their chroma in some of these natural Formations rock formations that sparked there was a certain angle of the overlight that it had to be But that combination of them their connection from being bullied from being ridiculed from being hunted gave them that spiritual connection An emotional connection and those three those three things just or those four things really just caused a Fractal temple to appear and so they went around the shard the zenith shard trying to do it in different places And they only really succeeded in the one that you see so you see all that on the thing Also You're getting a lot for luminous eclipse, but yeah You also Maybe I'm giving her some extra power. Yes, for sure. You you turn the page chain or you turn the page and on the next page you see a What looks like a voids fear and you see You see the original ancient Skyborne order draw a drawing or painting really of them in this voids fear and A mind strike what looks like a mind strike a Black and yellow tendrils striking out and killing someone Oh my gosh So I said so I have no idea why this with this excite through a horn is so much, but Do you see this this image yet? Yes, oh also there are people running away So the image is like one person is dead from it and everyone else is like Ah, running away from it. Oh, no, no, no Yes, it is we should not be using this for evil Rohana I think was trying to channel it for evil But good thing we beat her to it does she know how to mind strike I don't know, but maybe I mean she's the president of Skyborne University What if we were able to some in the temple completely enter it and then leave So that she couldn't I think the temple's like a metaphor. Oh, is it not a real temple? No, I think well what I'm getting is that initially this was a haven a safe haven for Skyborne like us in another time when we were not so Accepted and I get a feeling that the haven was for Yeah, the people who weren't accepted and not really to be used for anything other than practice and to lift up their powers Well, but now at that the mark they've left in this place it amplifies Yes, our powers, but I don't know if it can be harness that side of the space Do we get the sense that the fractal temple is like a physical manifestation or it's just like an aura placed on a specific location? It's a common-- so from that passage, you do learn that it's a combination of certain conditions. So it's basically four conditions. It's the overlight hitting the entrance to cave or the opening of a cave in a certain angle. It's the people who are in it being skyborne, being connected. That was the connection community thing, the emotional connection. It was the use of chroma in or near that space. And the more chroma you use in it, then certain weird things can happen. That was three, four, those things. So it's like the repeated use of chroma by a group of people brought together by their oppression has coalesced their chromatic energy in such a way that it amplifies it within this space. Is what it seems like. Sorry, I got excited. Does it make it a real place though? This is our producer Client. It's like this. Is this going to be like a real place that we can enter? Or is this something that we're making here because if we make it in the cave that they can enter that might just be making a space that's vulnerable that Rohana can. We might be just doing what she wants. That's what I'm worried about. No, we could do. If it was originally persecuted skyborne that created this space, maybe we as being persecuted by Rohana right now, maybe we could destroy this space. Maybe we could use it if it wasn't here. Based on the image, maybe we can, if we group together at the mouth of the cave, although where is Marei? He's in the cave. He's just deep it down, I think. So by now, you probably would have reached the opening of the cave. Yeah, down. Marei, we're back. Come on. So you see the tall figure of Marei walking back towards the entrance though. And he, well, it's kind of far. But I'll say that you can see that he's kind of like polishing one of those kieveriteeth. Oh, yeah. Can I, since Fennel can't read, can she look at the book and try and through the emotions in the pictures gather something more from the pictures themselves? Mm-hmm. If there's like a diagram on a page or something, anything to add more to the story or give us a direction to go it. I think there's a picture graph. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Come on. Put the breakdown of the void. Wow. Can I hear the mind strike interaction? Yeah. Is the mind strike coming out of the void sphere? It is. You saw that it was coming out of the void sphere. It's being like, it's mind strike being amplified. Can I, I want to just like do that. Garner information or emotional, anything. Can I argue for perception and compassion? Yes. Oh, no, come back. Goodbye, Dye. No. I need you. Goodbye. The good deed. Good Dye, sir. Only one. One. I'm going to use, I'm going to use a shadow. No, wait. Okay. Oh, my gosh. No, no. No, no. In the mouth of the cave, Marie is approaching you slowly. And so now, Fennel, kind of, who has it, Shane, who, right? Yes, I have the book. So Fennel, kind of, comes over to you. I want to see. I want to see. Oh. Like a little dog. Hi, let me see. Thank you. Yes, here you go. Look at this. You hold it out like that. Barry's her face in the book. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. It's blurry. So you're looking, did you, wait, you got two, right? Okay, wait a minute. You're looking at the void sphere picture with the mind strike coming out of it. And you do get a sense of, it's two things. You're feeling, um, revenge. And you're feeling, how do I describe this? You're feeling revenge, and you're feeling the, and I'm saying the person who drew this and the text. Like the people who made this text, this is, was their intention with it. It was revenge, and it was, um, ascension. I think that whoever made this, um, wanted to get back at the people that were persecuting them. I think this might be like a revenge thing. Well, that's not, that's, I'm not about that. Well, we can repurpose it and help to keep the fractal temple out of the hands of Rohana. Why, why don't we make this one strike later? I have another idea. Well, why don't we cleanse Rohana of her evil ways? Because I still don't know what she's trying to do. It seems like she is trying to harness all of this revenge. Maybe, you know, wild idea, but if that's the purpose of these temples, then the skyborne would be using it to destroy the non-skyborne. And I hate the idea of that. We can totally coexist. But that might be what Rohana is after. So maybe what we do is cleanse her mind of those evil thoughts. Well, but I think that if this is a Rohana thing now, who knows who else wants to harness the power in this way? I feel like the only solution is to get rid of this space, or to cleanse the space itself rather than Rohana. If we can all get out, then I can maybe use root to bring down the front of the cave and lock it off. The overlay can't hit it the right way if the tunnel is collapsed. Oh, yes! Mariah first, though. Hurry up, dude. Yeah, Mariah. Come on. Come on! I just thought it was just like rubbing his belly. Yeah, I get it. Very full. That's how I feel after it. Slushy too. We've got to go. Let's stop just paving. A blushy. A blushy. Whatever you say, yeah? I'm feeling pretty good. Can you help me pull down some rocks? Yeah. Okay. I'm going to root. Can you use root? And I'll help pull down rocks as well. Great. I'm throwing his hell. Yeah, let's throw you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to show up. Thanks. Morals for it. Hello. Well, I'm like, I'm looking at a diagram that says how you destroy stuff. And we're not going to do that. So, I'm going to hang out here. You guys can do your thing. And I'm going to start copying stuff out of the book. All right. So, Chanoo, in the funnel, you want to pull down some rocks. Yeah. Where you're using. You're going to do root. Chanoo. Mom, look at you. Oh, you're going to do like a cross. Oh, yeah. Braw might. I'll actually do athletics because that seems like I'm not like fighting it. That's right. I'm maneuvering it. But yeah, man, that's going to be some D832. Great. Great. And I'm going to use one to bump it up. Great. For. For. For. For. For. For. For. For. For. For. We got this man. Did you do that? Did you? Did you? Did you both did it? You both did it. It was the same, though. Also imagine this, your giant hand and my teeny tiny little puff, high-five, but it makes this sound. But it makes this sound. Because they are so tough. Okay. Let's keep going, because we're so close on time. - Okay, so, so, fennel and chain of immediately, as if in sync, turn towards the, the either side of the cave. - Not too in sync. - Oh, no, no. Just press, and then, chain of you, just like. - I like to watch your paws, your massive paws, you just start pulling at the rock. And so, the, it's rock-impact dirt. So, you're able to like, just rip into that pact dirt and start pulling rocks and making it give way. I also do cool things like you know how apes can like just manipulate their bodies in fun ways So I'm like doing this and then I flip around and start on it like I bring my whole body up and start Yeah, you're getting you're getting all of my eye contact with Meno Marek Marek Marek Marek Meno Marek also turns and starts helping to me's like Okay, so Fennel you Your roots once again you start to glow and it's it was like compassion and will right? - Oh, bigger. - Oh, bigger. Okay, so you have this orange and green lights of overlight just filtering through you and it comes up through your branches and it shoots into the rock. Oh, wait, no, we're doing root. So it shoots into the rock, but also shoots down into your roots and your roots start to grow thick like those vines that we saw on Banyan. And they start to root themselves into the edges between those rocks and the boulders into that pack dirt you just shoot right through and then you just pull it down and the cave starts to collapse. - Yay! - You're really picturing like a dog ox situation where she just kind of phew. - That's always my picture, huh? - Yeah. - The cave is collapsing. - Yay! - Do you want to leave? - I can't want to talk to her and I see, I wanna ask why she's doing this. - The cave is collapsed. There are rocks falling on your head. - Oh, tell me. - You guys think you're gonna have you roll a hazard? - I think talk has been standing outside the cave. - Oh, okay, just watching. - Okay. - Okay, so you're already out. - Yeah. - Yeah, when it gets dangerous, I'm piecing it. - So you're out of the cave? - Yeah, great. - So you guys, just as there are boulders now falling down and Marie was in there with you two, and the three of you clear the entrance just as a big boulder comes and seals it off. - Bye. - Good work, guys. - If we can't have the fractal temple, no one can. - Can't let it fall into the wrong hand. - No, we really can't. - It's too beautiful to be used for evil. - Well, I think it was, it's interesting because it, it seems like it was made for sort of various purposes, right? - Yes, we have to stop the cycle here. Those who hurt hurt other people. I guess we haven't really been hurt, but our ancestors of Skyborne ancestry have, and we stopped the cycle here. - Do we want to sit and wait for Rohan and I get here? 'Cause I want to talk to her. I want to find out why she's doing this, but also I want to see that look on her face when she sees that it's all destroyed. - You can walk in the direction. I guess there's a chance that they're just back, they're beating the crap out of me. - That's awesome, really cute. - Will you avoid populous away? - I'm really tired. - We can make our way down, I think. - We can walk. - Should we get rid of the book? - We're studying somewhere. - I mean, I think it's we're studying, right, Mon? - Yeah, it's definitely we're studying, and it won't last if we talk it somewhere. I mean, we're up in the frozen peaks. - Can you hide it in your jacket? - Of course, yeah, I mean, I could try to hide it. I'm just, the only reason why I want to hide it is because I'm afraid that we go back to Rowan and she's gonna-- - Yeah, first. - I think it turned into my skin, Zip. (laughing) - Oh, this one says that sentence. - Does, does Maree have a satchel or something? (laughing) - Maree has, I hope that the answer's just no. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - He set that down. - Yeah, we're all so gross. - On that, I always pretended to have it. (laughing) - You know, that's Maree, I was like, (laughing) - I'm not gonna let it go. - You all have that. - But they'll suspect that one of us has it. - True love. - I would like to give it to the non-Skyborne. - So you handed to Maree. - But you can fly away. - Yeah. - That's true, I'm also definitely curious about, I wanna hear from what's the-- - But Maree didn't even make it out the cave, right? - He did, he did, okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry. - You wanna kill him, right? - I'm sorry. - I can put it in my bag, and then I can put my branches over it, so it's hidden. - Beautiful. - Camouflage. - Yeah. - My special idea is-- - I'm a walking panouflage, okay, oops, I'm gonna skip ahead. Let's say that Fennel has it in her pack and it's hiding. You all start to head back towards where you knew Rohan was coming from, right? - Yeah. - Okay, so it's a long journey, but the equivalent of several hours later, you see the caravan. And when the caravan catches sight of you, it stops, let's say it's coming around a bend on a snowy hill. And it stops. And Rohana, you see Rohana get out of the caravan and stand in the middle of the path, the road. In front of the caravan, one more, yeah. And it's just looking at you all. - Did you hurt Evo's-- - So you yelled this, 'cause it's still pretty far away. - Yeah. - Evo stepped out of his place and you have to give me the book. - No, listen lady, I'm not afraid to fight you. - You're mean and you wanna do mean things. - I just want people to get what's coming to them. - For you, you are Skyborne, you should understand. - No, everybody is equal. We're all friends and we all love each other. I don't care if people are Skyborne or not. - Not the ones who persecute us. - They're not here anymore, they're all dead. - We want to help those who are not Skyborne, but the ones who stop us and who don't want us to, we want to fix this fractured world. - That's not fixing you. - Help me do that. - No, that's not fixing, that's hurting. And we are not here to hurt people. - Man, your compassion score must be really low. - I want you to do a mental initiative. - Reneral initiative. - Yes, hold on. - It's not really initiative, it's a mental open test. - Okay. - Well, I'm gonna use my Chroma on. - So that's gonna be 60 tens. It's like compassion twice or do I use it? - You're all right, so before we did, I'm gonna let's do resolve, resolve, resolve. Okay, yeah, resolve and will. - And will? - Wait, successes don't matter in an open test, right? - Right. - No, it's just the highest. - Okay, okay. - So, resolve compassion. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I love it. - I love it! - I love it! (laughing) - Try me! - Try me! - And talk to me as he's a little fool. - Going to use her Chroma on Rohana. She's gonna use Oath of Silence, which makes sure she fails her. (gasping) - Oh, what's your, we just rolled. - So, but it could be an auto fail. - Right, if I get this, will the, my Chroma, if I get even a luminous icon project of deep inner silence that gives one target character and unsettling feeling, they automatically lose one open test using mental dice. - Ooh, that's very exciting. - Okay, all right, go ahead and roll it. - Go ahead, just roll it. - Okay, yeah. - You did the part that you wanted to do with it. - I was trying to say the worst, I'm sorry, I didn't show you. - Okay, that was a nine, sorry. So, tens of one on the PC tower. So, that's only one success. - One success? - Should it cost? - One. - So, we get bump it. - Yeah, bump it. - Bump it, bump it. - Okay, so it's on us. - Which means, perfect, I can use that. - She's gonna fail this, so I cast that, I sort of project this like, dead, like deathly silence into her mind, and it just completely throws her off from any sort of like mental capacity move. - My 11 was too powerful. - Mm-hmm, okay. - Nice, come here. - So, so she's staring down, you're a fennel. - You're warrior, fennel. And you see a glow start to come over Rohana, and it's yellow. And she is, you recognize this, you recognize this. You all recognize this as someone who's about to channel their Chroma, and it's yellow. And you start to see a lashing out of mind strike, and this is the most powerful skyborne channeling of Chroma you've ever witnessed with your eyes. This is someone who's very highly trained and disciplined. So she starts to lance out with that mind strike, and it's about halfway to fennel, when your oath of silence kicks in, and it just shatters it all, and that mind strike dissipates. And she, Rohana just, she's super-dazed, and she's like, this isn't the end, she turned, and oh my god. She turns, and you see her, this is so silly. - She poop her pants, no. (laughing) - Thank you for saying that, I love you. - You know who pooped right, you guys. Everyone was looking at you. - That sounds in her mind was horrible. - She was really the right person. - Rohana, she walks. - Rohana does something that you both have heard about and have never seen. - Me and Cheney. - Yes, yes, Cheney and I. - Within Zenith monks, you have seen, you have heard about how certain Zenith monks can ascend on air as being pushed by the air. And Rohana does this. She just straight up lifts off the ground and shoots away. - Oh my gosh, she was a monk all along with her, Mono. - Faster than I thought. - She might have killed it. - What's that? - Faster than I can fly. - She's gone. - Yeah, before you even left. - You don't go after her. - She's way too powerful for us. - She's for us. - So now, okay, so you guys, now the caravan is here. One of the caravan driver gets out and just looks and it's like, are you all right? - Yeah, we're fine. Are you good or are you mean? - I had no idea. - Okay. - She just flew, I didn't know she could do that. She went crazy. Eva, she had us tie him up. And I believe him. I've never seen Eva's that scared. - Where is he? - He's been the back of the ship. - So you all run probably to untie Eva's. - Yeah, I don't run. - Okay, so you'd walk over to untie Eva's. He's in the back of that caravan and you untie him. And Eva says, I shouldn't know. And I said, she's so much more powerful than she let on. She, did she hurt you all? She couldn't if she tried. - No, she didn't. But I told her about the one on my short. - What, another fractal sample? - Yeah, well, it was there. It was there for a minute. I don't know if it's still there, but what if she goes after it? - She might. - She doesn't know the exact location of she. - She doesn't, it's true, but I'm worried about my people. She's so strong if she's that powerful. - You noticed that Eva has a, a little bit of people thought. She has, similar to a mind, sorry. - Okay, mine strikes. - Shatter. - Shatter, thank you. - You're welcome. - He had a little. - We match. - Yeah, it's been covered by the bandage, but now he's rubbing it and it kinda comes up and you see it. - What happened? Eelos, are you her homano? Did you lie to us? - She told me to do it. I'm sorry, I lied to you. - Wooo! - I know how she hit it from me. She's. - Aren't you able to get in her mind? - Yes, I know. She's been hiding as a hot keen. I think she's learned how to hide things from me even. All these years, all these cycles, she's been hiding as a hot keen. - I know. - What? We don't telepathically link very often in front of other people because she didn't wanna show other people who she was. - Well, now we know. - Oh, God. She is obsessed with the overlight and the fractal temple she's gonna go. But you're all safe for now. And I'm sorry. I had no idea. What's going to happen to the sky born order now? Everyone will find out about this. She's not welcome back. I'll tell you that. - Good. How can we trust you? You've already lied to us. - You're right. I wouldn't put it past you if you didn't trust me again. - Let us in your mind. - No, us. - No, we can't. - We can't. The bird dinosaur just like. - Just like slow blink. - Okay. - I thought it was like the two blinks. - We're gonna cut real quick too. You all are in the caravan heading back to the palace and seen. And you are now assembled in the caravan with, you've gone and gotten married, let's say. - Yeah. - You've assembled in the caravan. - Right, I was with us. - Yeah. - Yes, I'm sorry. You're right. Okay. Yes, that's right. Because we already went back. - So that's right. - He's been a real chill. - Well, that's very satiated. - That's like the trip to fan of the caravan. - The hero is the trip to fan. So you're all in the caravan. And on this journey, he's letting you into his mind. - So maybe the caravans were sitting inside and we're sort of in this like three person circle or we're holding hands. 'Cause we're not bonded with him, but maybe if we are working together and connected, it won't hurt us as badly, is that work? - Yeah, I'm gonna let you, yeah. You don't need to roll for it. - Okay. - He is completely open to this. He's also, he's also a very highly trained skyborne, of the skyborne order. So he is able to open up his meditative state to receive when he wants people to enter his mind state. So you're able to enter and you see hurt and betrayal that is the freshest and purest on him. You also do see this like deep desire to help people and you see that he deeply believes that he was doing good by helping Rohana with everything she wanted to do. - And do we get a deeper sense of what she wanted to do? - No, not from him, direct, no. - Okay. - All right. - So I'm gonna cut. Please, yes. - So now we have, we just have like six more minutes. - Okay. - You go back to the palace unseen and you basically are dropping off evos. He turns at the door to you and looks at you all. He says, "Thank you for trusting me." And I think it's best if you do not come in because Rohana could find the palace unseen but we should be in touch. We'll be in touch. Oh, I'm gonna find her. - I'll give him one last flower. - He takes it. - But what if I want to be the leader of the skyborne order now? Would that make both you and talk, my lord? - Yes. - Would you try and force everybody to be a witch, Ahmed? - No. - Okay. - But I think we'd make better decisions than Rohana. - It's possible. - There's already a temporary leader in place but you're welcome to come and, you're welcome to come and join us in the palace unseen but I'm worried that you are a target. You have the book. If the book is here with the palace unseen she can track everyone down and try to kill us all and take the book. - Okay, well next time there's an opening then. We do always welcome. - I think we should talk about it. - Like a petition? - You're always welcome. - Before we collectively run for president. - We should just talk about it. - Yeah. - Join team steps. - Boyd's here for president. Just all five of us. Just voting around. - We're all together. - So you all part ways in, okay we do. - Yeah. - Is that, I mean, is that you do want to do that? You can say if you want, you really want. - I mean, we've been, we've been on his mind and we know he's got his actual intentions and so I think if that's his advice, then that's what we're shooting. - Okay. - And we can also find more fractal temples under our own steam with our discovery. - You know where one is, we can beat her to it. - Yeah. - We should find them all and destroy them before she gets to them. - So let's get a ray bend and braille together and-- - All right, so you cut, we cut to you are now at the edge of the shard, doesn't have the same ring to it as the middle of the shard, but you are, you have taken one of these caravan vehicles that, the Skyborne Order gifted this to you to use while you're on zenith. And so you are, you now pull up to the cottage and you get out of the cottage, sorry, you pull up the, you get out of the caravan. - We stopped, we stopped in the void area and picked up Ben. - Thank you. - And long enough, long enough, long enough to our-- - And, okay, all right, yeah, all the weird ones. - Oh, oh yeah, no name, no name. - Yeah, no name. - The one who can be everyone's name. - Oh, for God's sake. - Right, if that is true. So your whole party just brings us to the cottage. - They are here, yeah. - Yeah, they come with us. - Your whole party just rolls up to the cottage and I'm gonna burst down the floor. - We're all good, we're all good, we're all good, we're all good. - The couch and just like has a nice big bowl of hot tumeric soup and he just kind of spills a little off. - Bro, these are on them, we found more egg. - And then so, more egg walks into the door frame behind Fennel and you all see the look on both of their faces and they just melt and crumble and cusses there too and she's just like her hands are over her heart literally and she's just like, so happily, she silently starts to cry. - Oh really? - And everyone's crying. - Yeah, Fennel falling. - Brill and Marie walk towards each other and just like hold hands like this and just look at each other's eyes and just say, I miss you, friend. I've missed you, friend. You are looking well and Brill sees the sash with all the chiroprits and he says, you have become a chiroprits layer. Marais says, I had to find some purpose without you and they just stand there and do that. We cut again. So now you all, you've brought them back to the void shaman tent. The void shaman village nestled in those hills. You're in that large, beautiful tent with the fire and they've pushed all the cushions to the side and those void shaman are preparing a feast and you're having a bonding ceremony for Brill. - It seems like ours was only yesterday. - I know, I know, it was not long ago. But so much has happened to us. - Is it you, really, to renew our vows? - No, no, no, no, no, no, let's do it, what? - We should eat the ceremony. - So you don't get bonded together. - You all, you see all the same with where. So now you see, Ben is officiating and his Hamanu Fricks is standing there with his hand on Ben's shoulder and you see like, you see groups of people, you see void shaman monks with their Hamanu, you see other types of monks with other types of just like everyone is kind of like in communion and harmony here and Ben starts to speak the words of the ceremony and just above the group of people. You just see, just for a second, you all see the skyboard in the room see a dazzling display of fractal over light geometric shapes dancing above and that is where we look. - Ooh, the most powerful bond. - Thank you guys so much. - Yes! - Yes! - Thank you! - Thank you! - You guys wore my heart, I'm also proud of you! - You guys are so sweet and so powerful and so deep and so helpful. Thank you to the best cast ever. I am so happy that you all were part of this and thank you. I'm crying. - Thank you, you're absolutely kick ass, Gia. - I can't believe how much you learned to do. - I know.

Summary:

The group returns to a fractal temple to confront their own corrupted doubles in a dynamic, character-driven combat sequence. Using skills like radiant success, surge attacks, and alliance protection, they overcome their inner demons—specifically evil motifs and weakened Tudos—through strategic movement and powerful actions. Fennel uses agility to intercept attacks, while Chano delivers decisive blows, culminating in the defeat of all manifestations of their self-doubts.

As the battle ends, overlight fractals begin to flow into the temple entrance, symbolizing healing and unity. Their journey reveals deeper lore: a lone warrior, possibly a former bond, has hunted and killed a Yamari, indicating a long-standing struggle between light and darkness. The group learns that their actions—particularly bonding and self-sacrifice—activate the overlight, reinforcing a spiritual bond with the environment.

Amidst the chaos, they discover a new connection with Brill, a traveler who has been isolated for centuries, and his wife, who now welcomes them. The episode ends with a sense of unity and forward momentum, as the group prepares to explore further into the cave, guided by newfound bonds and the belief that they are part of something greater—family, friends, and a shared destiny. The tone blends action, introspection, and wonder, emphasizing personal growth and the power of mutual support in overcoming inner and external threats.

FAQs

The Overlight Fractals represent a mystical, flowing light that appears in specific locations like fractal temples. They are believed to be drawn to places of emotional or spiritual connection, especially during battles or moments of self-discovery and bonding.

Players gain spirit points by surviving encounters, such as defeating their own doubles or overcoming challenges in the fractal temple. In the example, the group gains additional spirit points after being in the flow of the fractal light.

A radiant success allows the player to use the 'Protect Ally' ability twice during the same round, enabling them to soak damage from two different allies, which can be crucial in protecting key characters during combat.

The Chroma Moths represent manifestations of inner darkness or evil versions of the characters. They attack during combat, forcing players to confront their fears and vulnerabilities, and their defeat symbolizes internal healing and self-acceptance.

Yes, players can use skill tests such as Athletics or Combat to perform actions like reaching, jumping, or attacking. These tests are often used in creative ways, such as using branches to grab or strike enemies.

Defeating one's own doubles symbolizes overcoming internal conflict and fear. It reflects the journey of self-discovery and shows that players have gained the strength to face and defeat their darker, more aggressive versions.
