Act 5 Episode 9: Mutually Assured Total Annihilation

In the Underworld, at the borders of Kamthahar, a horrifyingly dangerous faceoff is taking place. With each side having one cataclysmically powerful spell charged up, the Circle must walk a tightrope to see tomorrow, much less the end of their Prasadi sabotage campaign. That Eclipse truce field has workarounds, after all: the clock ticks on, in more ways than one...   Aura attempts to sway Creation's most powerful martial artist to their side, but Anys Syn has certain...caveats to skip on this fight for the ages! Gavel finally faces off against Prasad's de-facto ruler, and learns of both their hidden secret weapons and a key weakness she can exploit in her society! Lythander makes a final realization in his quest to undo soulsteel, and finds a surprising new use for his mushroom forest spell! A major antagonist finally dies for the first time in a dozen plus episodes! And somehow a boat chase is involved in all this!   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!
