Act 4 Episode 6: Sticks and Stones Shall Break Brass Bones

Something is very wrong in Hell. The Umbral who appeared there is twisting the foremost souls of the Yozi against each other, inserting the worst elements of humanity and physical needs into the architects of Creation itself. Even imprisoned as they are, this sinister social engineering has...ripples...elsewhere, and it's up to our heroes to stop them! First, they need to find out what just happened to Palanquin and its entire population: unfortunately, other schemes were in motion while they were fighting the Wyld Hunt!

Lythander learns some unpleasant truths about Red Hand Rebirth's love life, and gets dragged back into Silver Pact politics against his will! Aura befriends some heartwarming street urchins to dubious moral effect, and finds that hidden gateway to Malfeas in the most undignified place possible! Gavel is invited to one of Hell's most popular sports brackets and realizes just how dangerous the Umbral and their hidden allies are! Nue finally gets started on fixing the mistakes made in her past life and helps defuse a situation that players made unnecessarily tense for no reason! Hundred Venoms Stinger reveals his actual motivations, and puts a name and scope to the Greatest Threat Creation Has Ever Known! But before we deal with that, we have to smash up some wizards! Thaaaaaat's Exalted!

This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset! If you're interested, you can buy it now, right off the Drivethrurpg site!
