FateBreakers

Act 5 Episode 1: Hot New Alchemical Water-Cooled (War)power Supply

As FateBreakers begins its final act, so too does the Circle begin their counter-attack on the Empire of Prasad. After an all too brief respite and triage from fending off that devil star and her Sidereal handler, our heroes address Madara and the Tiger's Nest Coalition to chose targets and onboard further allies. Including a faction from undersea with close ties to former ally Mind-Over-Body Orator. But are he, and they, really still allies? Or do they have more...broadly destructive ulterior motives?
 
Aura realizes the limits of her diplomatic abilities against other, more esoteric Exalted magics, and gains a cool new eyepatch that tangentially unpetrifies all her bones! Lythander blocks his old ex with his new star monster ex's assistance, and stumbles into yet another antagonist's schemes through sheer comic dice roll luck! Again! Gavel summons another weirdly horny Second Circle Demon as a war strategist, and has to pet a cat: a much more dangerous task than it sounds! Nue considers going on sabbitical again to stop Stinger's advance on coastal kingdoms while the rest of the Circle deals with inland threats. Spider...is still a plant! It's finally time to take the fight to Prasad in Act 5!
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!

Act 5 Episode 2: An Aurora of Anima Burns Away the Sky

The Circle and their mustered forces march towards Kamthahar! After one or two extra stops along the way! One planned, at the court of Blood Nail to gather allies and use Somnia's dreamwalking to spy on their foes and plan an opening strike. The rest of them...not planned at all. The Sidereal's curse on Spider is not so easily broken, and Prasad's borrowed Second Circle Sorcerers are bringing in a big problem of their own. And, beyond any of that, don't look at those lights in the sky. At least, not without an exorcist on hand...
 
Lythander gets a cooking class from (arguably) the most dangerous woman alive and gets a really, really, REALLY bad night's sleep! Aura has a heart-to-heart about the nature of power and violence and change, and also finds yet another nightmarishly dangerous foe underneath the Dreaming Sea making advances on everyone! Gavel discovers the problem with immortals and how a lifespan of millennia can mess with your prioritization skills and finally admits out loud that she has friends! Meteor, still convalescing from her defeat in Madara, makes her move to thin the danger pool: but this could backfire on...everyone!

Act 5 Episode 3: Cattle Herding the Jade Bulls of Heaven

Prasad is an empire famed for its riches of both money and magical jade, so naturally our Circle's first target is one of their most lucrative jade mines! Or, it used to be...Dragonblooded of the Realm and elsewhere don't have the powersets to counter the esoteric tricks our heroes can use. But Prasad has always been more...accepting of outside divine help. And today, that includes the Exigent of Ahlat, the Southern God of War. Alongside another mighty demon, and the most potent elemental destruction Charm in the toolkit, and that secret fake Gavel corpse Liminal, and...you get the idea, this won't be an easy first engagement!
 
Gavel gets added to a fun new group chat, and suffers a bizarre spiritual injury that Lythander actually CAN'T fix! Aura finally gets do some ranching against enemy cattle, and takes on Lythander's position of having massively swingy dice rolls! Lythander fights a nemesis he doesn't remember making, and begins to waver on the nightmare task of corralling Spider! The Ashen Ones fight a foe even deadlier than a Third Circle Demon and an entire Wyld Hunt: cows! Prasad did not come in with kid gloves today, and to survive the turntables is step one of even THINKING of firing all the gang's dominos!

Act 5 Episode 4: Super Sigureth Party Jamboree

Even with Ivory Edge's ambush thwarted and Rohavin's As In The Beginning blast pushed back, the Circle has yet to deal with their Prasadi nemeses' contingency plans. They did not summon a Second Circle Demon without a Plan B to keep them in check. And, with as close a victory as our heroes had last time, Prasad is not going to let them recover in time before their next offensive. As the gang make their way to the next key imperial holding to strike, can they even get there before everything gets set on fire? And on water, and on wood and on earth, and on air? But beyond elemental jokes, that Liminal is still around and now moves to take direct action. Not to mention the other Sidereal who's been here entire Acts. Now the Shepherd steps into the ring...

Act 5 Episode 5: In Which Demigods Have Dramatic Duels Over Logistics

The Circle makes it to Rockport right as the Prasadi agents are nearly done excavating the legion of flying ships from their tombs. Once more, Exalts clash against Exalts, and our plucky Circle clashes against a rival Circle. Both of them doing what they think is the right thing. But with Shrike's machinations in the background, and with Shepherd and Galik's real goals, there's more to this confrontation than it seems, naturally...

Act 5 Episode 6: A (Side)Real Walk Alongside Restaurant Row

As our Circle moves in on their sabotage route towards Kamthahar, the heavy hitters of the Sidereal Host are still here. Not just for our heroes, mind: Shrike is planning something disastrous, and that's not even getting into what the Prasadi are trying to pull to safeguard their colonialist interests. Can the Ashen Ones secure the path to their dreams and defang the dragon? More importantly, can they live with any of the prospective fallout?
 
Aura receives a guaranteed golden ticket towards getting the Tulpa Network online, but the cost from Of Things Desired And Feared is, as usual, horrifyingly steep! Lythander runs into Anys Syn again, and through confronting her may find a way to keep Spider alive without having him murder rampage indiscriminately whenever he's not looking! Gavel reunites with an old ally and discovers who Ruach's new ochilike partner is, and just what her old tutelary god will be bringing to bear for their Prasadi backers! Mantle continues to struggle to deal with how big a clownshow this Anathemic Circle is! At long last, we reach Kamthahar, and there's a lot going on in the Direction's biggest city, for sure!
