Having lost their first member, the rest of expedition 14 find themselves getting picked off one by one at the mercy of The Zone, now trapping them in memories of their own pasts to try to survive. Fighting for survival, they know the only way out is to press through to the Centre of The Zone. Who will make it to the middle? And are the rumours true? Can reaching the middle really grant a wish to whoever can endure the treacherous journey?

Having passed the halfway point and reflected at the campfire, the expedition now finds itself in the latter, more dangerous half of The Zone. As they get closer to the centre though, the threats of The Zone start to personalise themselves to the expedition, especially for one of them in particular....

An initial mutation aside, the expedition manage to navigate the boundary and traverse the first of many obstacles on their journey through the anomalous Zone. Can the group get past The Farm and The Village, or will ghosts and omens from their past prove to be too much for them to handle?

An anomalous boundary has appeared in a once rural area. Join us as we play the 14th Expedition to cross the boundary into The Zone. Our characters all have a drive that pushes them to want to explore whatever lurks beyond the boundary. Will we find what we want? Or will the horrors of The Zone be too much for our characters to handle?

In part 3 of our Fabula Ultima playthrough, our group collect themselves after the battle with the Hexeye and the Elonian soldiers, and learn about how their damn inventories work! They also head to the centre of the crater to try to discover what the Elonians were doing here in the first place, and for one member of our group come face to face with a familiar face....

In part 2 of our Fabula Ultima playthrough, the group come across an individual in need and decide to step in, resulting in a confrontation with the enemy. Can they use their newly acquired skills to rout the enemy, and maybe learn some type advantages whilst they're at it? We can only hope!
