Act 5 Episode 17: And Deathlord Forms...The Head!

Before the Final Battle and dual assaults on Stinger's lair and El Dorado can take place, the Circle must first survive the behemoth's assault. And while no such creature can be called ordinary, this is one enhanced and possessed by a half dozen Exalted and a Deathlord all at the same time. For the first time this whole saga, the Circle faces an equal force. Can they even make it out of the Urdr wellspring to plan a counterattack? And, if they do win, will losses from this current struggle be too great a cost to bear?   Gavel gets another chance to use Total Annihilation: it...doesn't go as planned! At all! Lythander finally cracks the Void Circle of Necromancy, to painful and highly useful results! Aura gets spaghettified and butts heads with Nue on who should play bait to pincer this titan properly! Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars finally gets to show off why she's the final boss! The endgame starts here!   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!
