Turns out we can't even get to Green Hell Island proper without catching hell of our own from a pirate attack! It's an all-out brawl between our heroes (and Ophelia) versus our sinister stowaways, with all the tourist's way too expensive cargo up for the taking!
Andre does ruinous amounts of damage and does impressive stunts all across the battlefield! Mantrax uses the campaign's first Limit Break to dramatic and highly useful effect! Zaffir attempts to cheese the encounter, only for it to backfire horribly on him! Ophelia sends everyone to space! But who will come out in the lead of this KO count contest? We'll have to wait till the dust settles to tell!

As the group prepares for facing the Wyld Hunt, they seek to secure the biggest resource they can still claim: Lythander's hard-earned demense, currently contested by his mentor Seven Obsidian Leopard. In confronting him, the Circle learns just how far he's willing to go in bringing the Empire of Prasad down, and must walk a delicate tightrope between negotiating with a Contagion-era Lunar necromancer and trying to reclaim the land by force...
(CW for discussion of War Crimes)
Aura finally meets her match in smooth-talking and learns some neat facts about local wildlife! Gavel finds another revolutionary scheme that crosses her line, and also gets cross with a familiar gazellecarp ghost! Lythander gets in a shouting match with his teacher and has an awkward phone call with his Solar Mate! Amir messes up, big time! And somehow, in spite of all Leopard's plots, an even greater threat appears on the horizon. Another, much more dangerous agent of Heaven is in the Circle's trail...

With the pirates thoroughly defeated, the gang interrogates them about their motives, and uncovers the tip of this proverbial iceberg and what sort of people are behind such brazen pillaging. But before we can deal with that, Green Hell Island awaits, in all its irradiated splendor! The Arkenruins are lousy with magitech runoff and it is NOT agreeing with the local wildlife! Even getting to the ruins is an adventure in and of itself!
Andre finally succeeds on a fishing roll and drinks deeply of the pelagian wisdom therein! Mantrax gets a side gig as a toymaker for the monkey community! Zaffir talks to basically the entire ecosystem, with very mixed results! Ophelia finally realizes how weird the rest of her temporary party is! Pablo almost gets skullnapped! And the whole gang almost dies several times before getting anywhere near the next dungeon!

With Seven Obsidian Leopard's stubborn mind set into stone, the Circle has no choice but to evict him from their demense by force. It sure as hell isn't going to be easy to fight a Lunar elder. And his clones. And the armies of undead he can summon with but a moment's thought. And the grab bag of esoteric moon magics he's spent centuries mastering. But surely our heroes can prevail, right? Maybe, just maybe, they can, if only they can outperform him in ridiculous stunts.
Appropriately enough this involves Lythander getting into a massive necromancy beam struggle with his estranged mentor, as well as a debate on just how effective a shovel is as a weapon. Aura has a very bad time with another enemy that hard-counters her skillset and gets continually hammered with increasingly nasty curses! Gavel digs through Leopard's corruputed geomancy to scour any possible weaknesses: what she finds is quite unexpected! Nue reminds everyone why Full Moon Lunars are horrifying combat juggernauts! And Amir keeps panicking over his big screw-up from last time! Also about the Wyld Hunt barreling towards everyone, that too!

As one would expect, Arkenruins only get more dangerous the deeper in one goes! Deadly mold, crumbling masonry, and worst of all, even MORE vicious wildlife! And these ones are NOT open to being talked down like the last ones. Here's hoping the Relics the gang just found gives them the edge they need to make it to the next Piece of Pablo!
Mantrax is accosted by the most nefarious of the ocean's predators: a horse! Andre tries to re-enact the infamous ending of Old Yeller with a hellhound! Zaffir (and his player) turn the rules against both of the above to great effect! Ophelia's monkey friend does some sick stunts to get sweet, sweet loot! And Ohelia herself? She gets hit a lot in the ensuing fight! But there's still more violence to come, deeper in!

It's all in the episode title, honestly. The Wyld Hunt is officially on, and our heroes are not ready. Or, not ready yet, at least. In a desperate attempt to gather intel, Lythander takes flight to Prasad's garrison at Madara, to sabotage what he can and try to uncover their enemies' secrets. But can he do so in time to make sure the Ashen Ones and the Maw of Cecelyne survive the Hunt?Lythander encounters the one person in Creation who can counter his comedy shenanigans, and to survive her sinister magic he must make some difficult choices! Gavel gets on the phone with the Yozi's foremost expert in infrastructure to prepare for severe inclement weather! Aura concocts a bold plan to turn the elements against the element powered demigods: a plan so novel it might even work! Red Hand Rebirth finally shows up (sort of) and has a very one sided family reunion with dear old dad! The Wyld Hunt's general reveals the many skeletons in his closet totally unprompted! Act 3's finale starts here!

In the precious few hours before the Wyld Hunt's assault on the Maw of Cecelyne begins, the Circle and the Ashen Ones fire up all the contingencies built across the whole act. Difficult decisions are made regarding the warstrider and the Hearteater's bones, and a new presence at the eleventh hour kicks down the door to vex everyone. No matter how genuine and easy his offer seems, there's always a catch when dealing with another Infernal...
Lythander debates what is and isn't comedy with someone even more contratian than he is, and almost causes another Hearteater incident by complete accident! Gavel discovers that the Yozi and their servants can actually be super evil; hopefully she can channel the resulting frustration into her new acting career! Aura has to decide on who to put into the warstrider's cockpit! The entire cast gets to voice an army of demons; total chaos ensues! And the first of General Malik's forces are here, with a very pissed off (and very familiar) Dragonblooded hatchling leading the charge!

The Wyld Hunt strikes! For their first strategem, they send an artillery warstrider and a gigantic army of birds! Trained in the art of war! With fantasy guns! Also a behemoth! And this is just the FIRST wave! Good thing our heroes have their own warstrider ready, because an anti-army weapon paired with all of the above spells serious danger for the Ashen Ones and their allies!
Aura proves that she isn't just a chosen of the Unconquered Sun: she's also quite the skilled mech pilot! You could almost call her a Lance-sorry, wrong game system! Gavel faces the greatest obstacle to her stratagems thus far: Lythander! Speaking of Lythander, he has a LOT of schemes of his own this time: some of which go well, and others which backfire horribly on everyone! Sky Sundering Shadow takes to the field, and the Circle is rubbing off on her, for good and for ill! Amir demonstrates why Solars are so freaking scary, and raises some major moral dilemmas in the process! And the hidden Sidereal makes her move, unleashing one of the deadliest tools in all of Yu-Shan's armories!

After the Circle successfully repelled the Wyld Hunt's opening salvo of a giant robot, the gang learns that their mecha was the LEAST menacing part of the Prasadi forces! Dozens of Dragonblooded commanders, a Sidereal with terrifying mental prowess, and Lythander's Liminal daughter march to face the Ashen Ones. Can our heroes avoid repeating the bloodbath that happened the last time a Wyld Hunt this big marched out? Or have they finally met their multiple higher-Essence matches in this war for survival?
(CW for Body Horror, 47:03-47:40, 1:20:00-1:20:30)
Gavel meets a perfect counter to her Infernal magics and has to scramble to respond to a nightmarishly powerful curse! Lythander finally meets Red Hand Rebirth face-to-face, and a family drama ensues! Or a drama between two completely unrelated people, depending on who you ask! Aura realizes what might be the only way to win this war bloodlessly: making Creation's first documentary! Novari gets incredibly salty that a celestial executive keeps messing with his script and struggles to recast his now-dead lead! The sins of the Circle's First Age counterparts come home to roost once again! And Nue stumbles onto another component of the "Greatest Threat Creation Has Ever Known" we're always talking about in the intro!

For April Fools, we follow a detachment from Prasad's Wyld Hunt as they head off reinforcements to the Anathema war band deep in the Dreaming Sea! Watch as terrifying levels of system mastery clash against a deadly duo and their panoply of questionable weaponry! Watch as a sitcom Dragonblooded dad transforms from goofy comic relief to deadly serious threat over the span of 3 hours! Marvel at a martial arts duel between a wacky cartoon Sidereal and a deadly Abyssal warrior where lethal blows are exchanged without actually connecting a single punch! Look on as someone edgier than Gavel shows up and is somehow the most wholesome one of this one-shot crew! Also Hundred Venom Stinger's endgame is revealed, and so is a critical part of our narrative's overall finale! All in an April Fool's Day episode, no less! Behold!
