Panel 1
Elven scientist, Apteribis, Moa and one or two other characters are holding hands around the repaired but inactive Heptagonal prism, their eyes closed, as if they are focusing energies or casting a spell on it.

Panel 2/3
Closed eye of Apteribis, open eye of Apteribis

Apteribis: There! It’s done!

Panel 4
The prisms shoot beams of light out that meet in the middle.

Panel 5
The Elven Scientist in silhouette, holding up an arm to shield her eyes from the blinding light.

Panel 6
View of the island from the sea, the rainbow bridge forming out toward the “camera”

Panel 7
Moa sits back in the beach sand, mouth agape.

Moa, top text: That’s it. We’ve done it.

Moa, bottom text: We’re home.

The Hero and Princess are back on the beach. Behind them, various adventures celebrate and cheer.

Princess: Victory! We’ve helped the Struth reclaim their home!

Hero: And I hear the first eggs have already been laid.

Princess turns to the camera.

Princess: Now they’ll be safe, thanks to you. Happy birthday, RPR!


You did it! Together, you completed all 30 prism challenges, defeated hundreds of monsters, captained your walrus companys, crafted potions, and helped Doubutt send a steady supply of weapons to warriors. This game is only possible to move through with intense teamwork. Be proud of yourselves!

If you participated at all in this year's plot festivities, you'll very shortly get a new accolade on your profile to commemorate the occasion. :D

With how attached I got to specifically Moa's story, reading how broken up, hurt, devastated, and lost she was... then her hope and strength in being a leader through the war... I'm literally in tears at the end of this. I am so completely happy for the Struth. The journey from grief to triumph. I would love to read a book telling Moa's story tbh. Several books. I need more. I'm not ready to let gooo.

I'M SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU it is such a blast working alongside you every year. The teamwork feels. Incredible.

Since I was immediately asked, I'll add here: I will leave the walrus game open for a few more days so you can do final isle clean up... Or just forage, I suppose ;)
