The Wyld Hunt's latest strike is a surprise elemental hyperweapon out of nowhere! To prevent it from obliterating the Maw of Cecelyne, the Circle must duel Red Hand Rebirth, as well as find out how exactly Prasad made an entire attack iceberg in about an hour. Lythander faces his semi-daughter in solo combat and discovers just how powerful the oldest Liminal in Creation is. But can either of them overcome the greatest curse of all to eke out a victory: bad dice rolls?
(CW for Body Horror throughout)
Lythander breaks out his greatest stratagems yet: trying to prank (and thus face-steal) people who refuse to engage with his terrible bits! Gavel, to her chagrin, begins to cast warriors in Novari's rom-com play, and dives headfirst into another iceberg-this one made of intrigue and drama instead of ice and Essence! Aura runs headlong into Joktan's background schemes and has to prevent a second, more secretive superweapon from going off while being pelted with Second Circle Sorcery spells the whole time! The Wyld Hunt engages the Anathema in debate, and possibly some hidden assassination attempts to cut the war short! But, is everyone really after our heroes first and foremost? Or are ulterior motives at play, and for who?
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!

With a few key victories already under their belt, the Circle enacts a clever scheme to expose Gnosis's trickery and (hopefully) end this war without further demon-attracting bloodshed. Surprisingly enough, however, the army of religious fanatics won't back down easily, and Joktan has horrifying backup plans in the wings to ensure she can still draw the war out for her win condition. Also, the April Fools day interlude was canon after all-now there's also Spider ('s comatose body) to deal with.
Lythander puts some valuable time aside to tend to his mushroom garden; in doing so, he almost gets everyone killed before the Wyld Hunt can do it! Gavel gets into a heated discussion with Exe on what to do with Spider, and somehow the joke episode edgelord robotman becomes the most reasonable member of the cast! Aura makes a big press conference to the Wyld Hunt to explain the Third Circle Demon thing, only for Joktan to hit her with horrifying countermeasures! But, in doing so, perhaps her mask will slip and reveal just how evil she and her actual endgoals are! And speaking of Gnosis, he might have an ace in the hole too!

With the Wyld Hunt successfully on to Joktan's scheme to summon and assassinate Iolda, their "captured" Infernal decides now is a good time to drop the act and harvest as much blood for the summoning ritual as possible. The Circle debates on whether or not they should help the people trying to kill them in service of stopping a much greater evil. And, for that matter, how to stop him. Gnosis has a lot of backup plans, it turns out!
Aura duels her greatest opponent yet: someone as equally skilled on the battlefield as they are with wordplay! Let's see if she can disarm both of Gnosis's skillsets at the same time-it may be the only way to stop the conflict in any way approaching a peaceful resolution! Lythander learns why making an Abyssal your friend is possibly more dangerous than being their enemy, and almost gets the entire party (and the surrounding countryside) killed! Gavel has a very frustrating conversation with one of her bosses and runs afoul of the law! Exe is still around, somehow, and faces the most dangerous trial this entire story so far: being Spider's babysitter! General Malik has to prioritize which Anathema to go after first, and whether or not that list includes that Sidereal trying to order him around constantly! And speaking of Joktan, she might still have an ace-in-the-hole amidst all this nonsense!

Despite the crew's best efforts, Joktan managed to use her final contingency to drag Iolda, Third Circle Demon, and the Second Soul of She Who Lives In Her Name into Creation. Well, at least the Wyld Hunt called that ceasefire after all! With only the Eclipse truce field keeping the demon prince at bay, it's up to nearly a dozen Chosen to work together to fend off Iolda's horrifying powers and send him back to Malfeas before the entire Dreaming Sea explodes.
Lythander struggles with swallowing his pride and preference for violent solutions, and Gnosis egging him on constantly to cause a TPK definitely doesn't help! Aura puts her silver tongue to the ultimate test in verbal sparring with Iolda, and also with herding all these cats batting at the ultimate powder keg collection! Gavel confronts Malik and prepares the Ashen Ones for Novari's grand romcom performance: only a Bollywood dance number could possibly win this war bloodlessly! Someone finally asks Sky Sundering Shadow about her grand plan to remake the world: turns out it might have a few big, planet-shattering problems with it! The consequences of Spider breaking his grand oath to Aura begin to manifest, as his martial arts duel with the Shepherd goes wildly off the rails! The finale of Act 3 is now, and it's a wild ride indeed!

With Iolda sent packing back to Malfeas, the Wyld Hunt immediately resumes trying to kill the Circle and their allies as soon as they can. And the Dragonblooded host of Prasad are finally taking to the field to do the job themselves! Naturally, this only sort of looks like normal warfare, when you have bound elementals, magical naval superweapons, and a First Age suit of powered armor on your side. It might be too much for Gavel, Lythander, and Nue's protective wards on their behemoth island to take. Can they hold the line with their own strength? Or will the Wyld Hunt manage to take these Anathema down?
Aura makes a new animal friend and goes for a nice, relaxing swim! Lythander cuts yet another dramatic speech short and fights to save his mushroom children from a horrifying Wood Essence-powered weapon of war ! Gavel gives all the Ashen Ones a supernatural upgrade, finally exchanges blows with General Malik, and falls down a big hole! Spider actually manages to land one of his Albicant Sepulcher of Extinction attacks, and to incredibly useful (and scary) effect! Nue fights a raincloud! Malik proves why sufficiently powerful Dragonblooded are threats to even the Celestial Exalted! And Joktan is still maneuvering in the background to pull out yet another beatstick to menace the crew, way from the top of the Terrestrial Bureaucracy!

While our Circle prevailed against the Wyld Hunt's recent offensive, the victory was a costly one, and Joktan aims to strike before our heroes have time to recover to flip the table on the Ashen Ones. Namely, by clashing the Gaol's time-bending magics with her own Emerald Gyre of Aeons style, and cashing in a favor from the Directional Censor of the Dreaming Sea. Even with Aura's sealed oath compelling the Sidereal to the meeting table, she is far from done trying to sabotage present and future ventures, and this lesser elemental dragon is throwing a wrench into things too. Can the Circle repel another frighteningly powerful spirit to focus back on the Wyld Hunt? Or perhaps even...actually negotiate as planned?
Lythander begins to further tweak his mushrooms for offensive (and civil) purposes, and finally gets some use out of the dozen or so curse-shape familiars he's gathered over the course of the story! Aura receives another reminder of just how much damage the El Dorado project her First Age self caused, and plays tower defense with Jeffery against the Iselsi's iceberg maker onslaught! Gavel finally realizes her plan to raze Yu-Shan indiscriminately might in fact be a bad thing and has to find a way through a disturbing geass to safeguard Novari's minimum casualties rom-com plan! Spider continues to be a bad influence on everyone, but that might be an advantage after he deleted one of Malik's key Intimacies! And regardless of how many hat tricks Joktan has, that number can't be infinite! If the Circle keeps foiling her, she will have to take things into her own hands...soon!

Joktan finally takes to the field of battle herself. She already caused a complete party wipe in the First Age: can the Circle prevent a similar TPK in the Age of Sorrows? It definitely won't be easy fighting an elder Celestial Exalt with two different Sidereal Martial Arts styles and Second Circle Sorcery at her disposal, and that's without counting the Wyld Hunt detachment she has as an honor guard! But there's still a chance! Our heroes can still prevail-they'll just have to break fate to do so! Title pun intended!
Aura's frustration with Joktan countering her every move reaches a boiling point, both in debate and in battle! Gavel faces her own (figurative) mortality, and begins making plans for her staged death and a possible real death! Lythander struggles to defend the honor of his mushroom summons, and discovers something shocking as his and Aulong's mushroomfolk project reaches its final stage! Spider learns just what kind of nonsense Sidereal Martial Arts can do and has to get creative to break out of a very nasty spell! Nue demonstrates why Lunars are the Sidereal establishment's greatest enemies and suffers from some seriously swingy dice rolls! And Geresvin has a favor to ask even as he's commanded to fight the Circle: it seems that a certain old enemy is causing new problems for everyone in Hell!

One way or another, the Wyld Hunt ends this episode. Prasad's forces launch their ultimate invasion on the Maw of Cecelyne. With the Circle only barely recovered from their costly victory over Joktan, and the Ashen Ones worn down by Malik's siege and prior injuries in battle, the Dragonblooded host might just be able to defeat our heroes. Especially with the final ace-in-the-hole they have up their sleeve. Or, rather, in their fleet.
Can Aura keep protecting everyone and stop the oncoming massacre, especially given Orphis Shineback comes back and gets that Righteous Devil Stylist faceoff with her? Lythander squares off against Giatsu: which of his player's characters will come out on top? Gavel had a rematch with Malik: with both of them weary from wounds and Intimacy-destroying magics respectively, which of them will still be alive when the dust settles? Will Spider finally stop being turned into a joke by terrible dice rolls, and actually get to show why Dusk Caste Abyssals are horrifying threats in warfare? What is Sky Sundering Shadow's secret weapon, and is the creation of Third Circle Necromancy more trouble than it's worth? And finally, what stake does Malfeas and the Yozi have in all this, given how their agents seem to be all over this war? All of these questions (except maybe that last one, for now) will be answered...now!

The Circle did it! They beat the Wyld Hunt! Now to deal with the aftermath of having to finish Novari's play and end things off without having to execute anyone! That is, if they can stop Novari from getting executed first! Also, they still have to trick Heaven into thinking Gavel died in the final battle for this all to work! But, assuming all that works out, the gang can finally rest! Maybe! If their own allies don't end up ruining all their hard work in an attempt to "help" settle matters!
Aura helps Nue come to terms with her rocky history with Ysyr, and confronts Amir on his tendencies to go way, way too far with solving whatever he deems as "problems!" Lythander rolls a, quite frankly, SILLY amount of successes in Novari's grand finale, and realizes that Spider might be just as dangerous when he's trying to help the Circle as when he opposes them! Gavel learns of new developments in Malfeas that disturb even the Yozi themselves, and gets a sweet new sorbiquet! Orphis Shineback releases his plantext apology on social media, and finally spells out what The Greatest Threat Creation Has Ever Known is that we're always talking about in the intro! Coming up soon on the horizon: HellCon, and the grand city of Palanquin!

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!
