The final fight of EXU Calamity really was the Ring of Brass playing hot potato, except the hot potato is Hope and the players are bleeding out and getting struck down the more they play, just barely doing what they can before passing on, ensuring the remaining players have a chance to do what they need to do to keep Hope in the air.
Zerxus defending the group, purposely taking blows before the sun rises and he is no longer himself.
Nydas making sure he “doesn’t miss” when he goes down
Patia releasing a nineth level Wish from her body as she falls
Cerrit diving in with the Natural 20 against Vespin Chloras
Loquatius’s readied Healing Word just in time as something that would have killed Laerryn hits her
Laerryn finishing the spell just in time and ensuring (with Nydas’s inspiration) that Cerrit makes it out to find his family.
Hell, even Vespin Chloras in that brief moment of clarity, buying Avalir more time through Zerxus. And Callum Staffwright and Orwyn too. The desperation and determination throughout the finale is just so heart wrenching.
