But you have Prophet of Seventeen Cycles! You are not limited to your sword any longer! Also you are really good at tests now, due to the speedbump pre-req charms. Truth-Rendering Gaze actually is quite useful, though.

A good thing, too, since our sword seems to have started to actively create problems for us!

The exams will never know what hit them. You see, Rihaku, despite your devil's advocacy and distractions like the fate of the world, we are still on track to finish school. Don't underestimate the drive for academic excellence!

I was under the impression that Uly's killing blow was a unique technique that he developed (rediscovered?), much like the one Flame tried to copy to kill Moon

CONSUMING MIGHT OF THE FIRE DRAGON
Cost: 6m, 1wp; Mins: Martial Arts 5, Essence 4; Type: Simple
Keywords: Obvious
Duration: One scene
Prerequisite Charms: Essence-Igniting Nerve Strike, Smoldering Wound Attack
This Charm pulls pure elemental flame from the heart of the Elemental Dragon. An Aspect of Fire using this Charm triples the effects of his anima power. For non-Fire Aspects, the Charm allows the Immaculate to use the Fire Aspect anima power at its normal level. Also, anyone viewing the Immaculate, regardless of his aspect, is affected as if by the Overwhelming Fire Majesty Stance, except that the effects last for an entire scene and the Immaculate is free to attack and/or use Charms.

Flame's attempt at a finisher was the capstone Charm of Fire Dragon Style. Rare and difficult to learn, but not unique.

Is that what it did? Perhaps. But only because you lacked the will to seize opportunity!

Why do I have this feeling that limit breakin Ulyssian would be something akin to The Legend from Dark Soul?

Much scarier than that.
 
Looks like you're at ~200,000 Normal and 86,200 Solar XP presently. Since it looks like Negotiation is winning overwhelmingly, do you guys want to flash-buy some Presence Charms or something?
 
I wouldn't be dramatically opposed to buying Presence charms right now, but I'm out currently so I'll have to wait until I can open up 3E and evaluate them before giving an answer.

Is the execution of the technique the same for all its user, or do each user uses different variance of the move unique to them? From my interpretation of the scene, Flame pretty much copied Ulyssian's move that he used to subdued him the first time around, and Ulyssian's familiarity with the maneuver allowed him to halt the killing blow even when he is just a mere mortal facing an exalted

If you just want to boost effectiveness, Listener-swaying argument is pretty nice, though I don't think it works for Threaten actions. Too bad you don't have enough XP to get Empowering Shout, which you could use on Nilul!

The image of that is actually hilarious, though. Nilul's conversing, and you just stand behind her and go "Yeah!" in an intimidating voice whenever she finishes a point.

Wait wasn't Usurpation Odyissial aka Mr. I was wrecking the Bronze Faction forces so hard the fucking Incarnae came to stop me from annihilating creation and before I went down took our several of Luna's subforms and shattered both the Godspear and the arm holding it Odyissial in limit break?

If our limit break has us act like that....

Also Odyissial completely and totally hates the Primoridials. We did pick Fury to describe how he feels about them.

He didn't do that stuff because he was in Limit Break, he did that stuff because he was that badass.

Hm, it's still early days as far as number of voters are concerned, but it looks like Negotiations and Arch-Predictionist are out to an early lead! Are you guys sure about this, though? Getting both Arch-Predictionist and Medical Balm is likely to lead to Limit Break, sooner or later...

Ah, I see what you mean. Flame's fighting style had been built on Ulyssian's own, so yeah, he was able to anticipate Flame's action and parry the blow even when he was using a Charm to enhance his anima power.

Nilul: And Lord Odyssial said, "Let there be a world which is not ever dimishing, cruel or unjust"!
Ulyssian: Praise it, sister!
Nilul: No senseless suffering. No trampling of the weak. No constant fighting for mere survival. BUT EVER GLORIOUS ASCENDANCE OF ALL!
Ulyssian: Hallelujah!
Nilul: What do you say, you poor lost souls? Will you take your first step towards your salvation?
Ulyssian: Yeah! What do you say?!
Ayla: ...Pssst! Fei Ling! What are they doing?
Fei Ling: I'm... Not sure...

Man, no one wants the high amount of free XP in the Dealing With Infernals options? You guys could really benefit from that XP, now that you're so low in both categories!

Especially with the action about to pick up...
