This seems most in-character, where our first concern is for our dad like it always is. Michael did just see us take damage and he's going to be understandably worried.

To clarify, was the second use of Excellency against the mind power?
Because an Excellency lasts Essence+1 turn.

I do have to say, a Viridian Legend Exoskeleton would have been really nice to have this moment.

I love how we have 3 HLs filled and we are still at 0 penalty. Wonder how it looks, though.
And Ebenezer tried that sunlight thing on us.
After this, what I want to do is raise Essence to 2. I expect others may have different plans, just bringing up mine.
Gets us more essence, more essence regen, and Shintai.

Absolutely, but what can you do.

Oh right it's Essence+1. I I thought it was just Essence rating in turns. Editing.

Nah, we go Exoskeleton + Scar Writ shield + Ox body. That makes us Much MUCH tankier as it is +4 Soak, -1 soak DC (So 5) and hlvls.
All of that in 12xp and we still have 2xp left over currently. So all we need is 10 more xp for that.

Full agreement. Supermode only being usable in huge spaces just isn't acceptable.
Not only is it far too limiting, but it's a weakness that can be exploited with relative ease. It won't happen any time soon, I imagine, but eventually we'll have used the alternate form multiple times, and no matter how much we try, information will get around the supernatural BBEG community. That's when the Denarians or some other faction will deliberately engineer a situation to prevent it's use.

Was that fight only 2 turns long?
I thought we would have had to use more hits for over 5 kills, which in turn should mean more Essence spend on Excelleny?

Keep in mind you did get that crafting charm, the most immediate way to get more soak is making armor.

Can someone explain the Essence expenditure mechanic to me? I see that we currently only have Essence 1, but keep reading instances of multiple Essence being spent/lost. Am I correct in assuming this is referring to motes of Essence?

Any serious armor lowers Dex, which is not acceptable.
So only 1 or 2 dice of soak at most.

Well, yeah, but VLE represents +4 soak with no dex penalty. It is scene long and costs only 1 Ess. It is also compadable with most armors so there is that too.

Yeah. We've got a capacity of 10 motes right now, recover 4 motes with a sunrise, recover 2 motes the first time in a scene we learn some obscure piece of supernatural lore, 1 mote per 3 hours in the nevernever, and if we have 0 essence at the beginning of a scene we gain 1 mote.
If we go to Essence 2 our essence capacity goes up to 12, and we recover 5 motes per sunrise.
Essence 5 we have 20 motes and recover 8 with sunrise.
Yes it was exactly two turns long as tough as vampires are everyone was hitting them with fire and sunlight, they were counting on being able to keep Ebeneezer in the Nevernever to send in the chaff after him or alternatively pull the trump cart of Outsiders.
Michael is pretty shiny but I don't think he's a Solar

Then how did we spend 2 Essence in one turn, we can't do that yet?
Best option I can see is that we spend 1 Essence in the first turn and deliberatly flare our Anima to benefit from Rage Recast.
That would limit our essence spend to 1 per turn, with the second being against the Fear effect in the second turn.
Edit: that would leave the update intact as it is, save that we glow more.

This is true. If we get VDE before Essence 2 we can't use VDE and Excellency on the same turn.
I am in favour E2 ASAP.
