In the first phase of the boss battle, characters who lost their games finally receive their Penalty Game: they are trapped in an illusion depicting their worst fear. Those who are penalized will be unable to take any action until the Penalty is cleansed by another character helping them work through their fears. The key is your character remembering their answer to the riddle!
The Millennium Puzzle's eye weeps.
FIRST PHASE UPDATE:
Status cleanses now work on those who were afflicted with a Penalty! Only three people can be cleansed per turn. This is not a free action! Atem will try to interrupt your character, roll anything higher than a 7 on 1D20 to succeed!
Characters can try to break through the Penalty Game on their own if they can remember their answer to the riddle! This requires a Will Save, roll anything higher than a 14 on 1D20 to succeed!
The Millennium Puzzle has closed its eye and feels cold to the touch.
At this time, turns are by one per character per post basis! If your character attempts an Energy Shower, they'll be unable to cast again until their next turn!
For example:
Mafuyu tries to cast Energy Shower > Talk No Jutsu > she can attempt Energy Shower again.
Turns out the Millennium Puzzle is useless! (whomp whomp)
SECOND PHASE UPDATE:
His HP is halfway there guys! From this point on, any attack will have a +5 advantage!

♪
Very quickly the trek to Braphine's temple in Nekyia becomes quite... sandy. And hot. You soon find yourselves in a desert village at twilight with the sun and moon hanging in the sky at perfect equilibrium. Instead of where Braphine's temple usually sits appears a foreboding stone palace in its place.
The village bustles with the sounds of everyday life. Children play as their mothers gossip. Few dogs and cats roam free. People barter in the market for food and various other items while guardsmen patrol the roads with baboons on short leashes. In the distance you see a river bank where various fishermen tend to their nets. It seems peaceful. The people here are happy. But none of this would even exist unless something wasn't very, very wrong.
All roads before you lead to the palace.
> investigate?
[ Well, there's something very wrong with the setting here - that being it exists at all in the first place.
As for Argenti, he stands out in his armor, and even though it is hot for a normal person with or without armor he doesn't look like he'd be infinitely more inconvenienced than some. Though he will be sweating a little soon.
He takes a look around to begin somewhere. Let's make headway to the river bank, shall we? ]

[ Wow, this is almost like home. It's weirdly relieving? Sunrise takes her shawl and wraps it around her head like a headscarf.
...She will try and overhear what some of those ladies are gossiping about. Did Mr. Day say something about how it pays to listen to what people are talking about? ]

Ah, it's warm! [That's a rare joyous exclamation from Shalem, before he removes his jacket and stretches. Flexes his arms, sleeves straining with his muscles. Is this the first time many people have seen him without some sort of outerwear? Well, now you know he's jacked as shit.
He is quite pleased, obviously. Of course, this is indeed hot, but to someone like him? Oh he's going to soak up the sun for as long as he can, especially given what the temperatures are like in the Nekyia proper. Sorry guys. He's just being a snake.
But he'll pull his weight-- time to investigate! He's heading off to strike conversation with the fishermen.]

[ the market is where the shade is so josh is booking it in that direction because he's going to just tragically die in the heat otherwise ok.
he's not opposed to doing a little window shopping but otherwise he's also going to try and eavesdrop on the local gossip. what's good fam. ]

[Ah, the desert. Just like home. Not that Jesse feels particularly at home here given it's the Nekiya and there's a big castle nearby.
This is clearly a differnt sort of thing, so Jesse is going to approach somebody at the market.]
Yo. What place is this? I'm new, just got outta the desert.

[WHY DOES THE SNAKE HAVE SO MANY MUSCLES?]
...Well, at least you won't have to worry about [what did he say it was again??] brumation? This place is a lot warmer than Yoon's palace.
[He might be alarmed by the muscles but at least he's polite enough not to stare directly at his biceps for this entire conversation. Anyways he's shuffling off to the market haha byeeeee]

[ local kid that tries to hide his bandages is punished severely by the desert weather. though summers in the mountain are warm, the altitude was his savior as it made even the hottest summers fairly mild.
he'll take a moment to go hide somewhere so that he can take off his turtleneck shirt, revealing underneath a regular t-shirt. he'll put his sweater back on, however. even though summers were mild in the mountains, he knows the dangers of sunburn all too well. it's good to stay covered.
he'd try to investigate somewhere but...in all honesty, he's too terrified of how different his surroundings are. what the FUCK is that giant monkey? ]

[Haruka is going to join Josh in the market because there is shade and some people got dragged in wearing black sweaters...!!
He's mostly looking at the cats and dogs than the market stalls themselves, though. aminals...]

[... oh. It's hot, and having multiple layers is not pleasant; unlike some of the others, however, Richard makes no move to take anything beyond his cape and outer cropped jacket off, folding them up neatly to drape over his arm.
That done, he decides to wander a little closer to the guards to see if he can overhear anything interesting, putting on a show of being enchanted by their baboons as though he's never seen anything quite like that before (he hasn't, to be honest).]

[This probably isn't the best place for a guy who wears sweatshirts and scarves all the time, huh?
He's going to find some shade to hide in before he overheats. Probably a stall. And while he's there, he'll talk to whoever is at the stall.]
It sure is hot today, isn't it?

Mr. Richard, can you come here for a moment?

You should shield your head, especially if you are not used to this kind of heat.

[Good thing she's the type to wear clothes that bare her midriff, apparently. Though she's still sticking to the shade, wouldn't want to burn in this heat.
Can she overhear any gossip from the mothers watching their children?]

[Hello there fellow heat-sufferer. Sou is actually going to pull off his scarf, revealing the collar around his neck that was hidden below. He is now struggling to figure out where to put it.]
