With the players hitting Essence 2, the Circle's investigation of the divine conspiracy continues to escalate. Also escalating: their speedrunning of my outline! Lythander meets another BBEG 30 sessions earlier than expected! Atom goes on a scavenger hunt! Gavel gets invited to HellCon and ratios someone on sorcerous Twitter! Also, it turns out war crimes are bad! With special guest stars: a Second Circle Demon shopping for eyeballs! And introducing: where all that soulsteel has been going! It's a good thing the Circle is stronger now! They'll need it!   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset hot off the Kickstarter presses!
