Act 3 Episode 17: Property Disputes Gone Wrong! (Gone Platonic!)

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...   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!
