As the dark magic of the hag sank within her, Lauretta failed to channel the protection of her raiment in time. Her limbs drooped and her breath hitched. Weakness gripped her body. A shock of gooseflesh surged through her in response to the sudden feeling of impending doom. The amulet around her neck made its way into the Preceptor's hand, no longer favoring the mighty weapon. "The High One will protect me from all your evils, wicked one! You will end this curse on me!" The shout was as unsteady as her breath, but the cutting gaze and oncoming angelic figure were not. A familiar aura of shielding holy magic flooded out.
The Hag succeeds against Dire Attention, but she will still need to roll against Command.
OOC:
Lauretta is taking the initiative. At the start of her turn, she activates Dire Attention and Command. For the Command, Lauretta is choosing the "End a Magical Effect" action on page 47. For her action, she casts Shield of Righteousness.The Hag succeeds against Dire Attention, but she will still need to roll against Command.
[ +- ] Dire Attention (Magical)
If you are not confused, controlled, stunned, or unconscious at the start of your turn, you can target one enemy you can see within 5 yards. The enemy makes a luck roll with 1 bane. On a failure, the enemy is cursed and vulnerable (luck ends both). You can see through any ordinary or magical disguise that conceals the enemy’s true appearance, and you can tell when the enemy knowingly tells a lie, even a lie of omission. Once you use this talent, you lose access to it (luck ends).
[ +- ] Tradition Talent: Command (Magical)
If you can speak and you lack the confused, controlled, stunned, and unconscious afflictions, you can use this talent at the start of your turn. Target one creature within 5 yards. The target makes a Will roll. On a failure, you can issue one command to the target. Choose one of the activities that normally require the use of an action from those described in Chapter 2. On the target’s next turn, it must use an action to perform this activity. If it cannot, the target becomes confused (luck ends). You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest.
[ +- ] Shield of Righteousness | Castings: 1| Target: One Size 5 space centered on you | Duration: 1 minute
A supernatural presence comes to you and permeates the target space. The space moves with you to remain centered on you. Each ally in the space imposes 1 bane on rolls to attack them and makes luck rolls with 1 boon.

"Bah!"
Missing was not something Wolfram took well. Glaring at the next arrow, he nocked as if it were sentient, and he let it fly at the hag.

Suddenly, the warform swung around the witch' strike, intercepting her sweeping blow towards Lauretta with parrying blade and interposing shield. An iron guard tightened and piston-driven servos whirred sharply as the sharp clash rang throughout the air.
The claws stopped a hair's breadth from the Clockwork's riveted chestplate. Steam vented through the warform's shield arm, causing condensation to bead upon his hull.
"Enemy classification upgraded to Beta-level threat." R3N-L3 intoned, before suddenly swinging his blade around in an overhead arc at her.

OOC:
The additional Bane R3N-L3 imposes on attacks against him, since he's electing to Defend Lauretta, should just barely halt that attack. He'll be halting the 11 damage attack, since there's a chance the 1st attack doesn't land with Lauretta's Bane. Sadly, I'm pretty sure he doesn't hit that attack xDLast edited December 16, 2025 10:05 pm

Lauretta could feel the lethal force behind the sweeping claws of the wretched hag as they dragged along the glowing garment. Just as she thought the High One's favor might have limits, a clash of claw and steel forced her aside. Her gaze from behind the moving bulwark of an ally tore at her foe in retaliation.
"We are protected by God, witch! To the pit with you!"
The radiance in the air deepened in its golden hue. Holy light beamed off of the weapons that the group wielded against the faerie.

Lauretta is taking the initiative. At the start of her turn, she activates Dire Attention again. It fails once more. For her action, she uses her Battle Blessing talent. All attacks (weapons) now receive a boon.[ +- ] Tradition Talent: Battle Blessing (Magical)
You can use an action, or a reaction when you get a failure on a roll to attack, to invoke aid from your god. For 1 minute, you and each ally within 5 yards of you rolls to attack with 1 boon and becomes immune to the frightened affliction. You can use this talent once, twice at level 3, and three times at level 7. You regain expended uses after you rest.

Tzal splatters Anastasia with more health-draining poison. The hag resists Lauretta's dire attention, but her battle blessing guides Woflram's aim as he shoots the hag with an arrow.
Hissing with pain and rage, the hag tries again to tear apart Lauretta with her claws, but the inquisitor's magic keeps her safe!

The feeling of weakness in Lauretta's limbs faded as the power of the High One's blessing surged through her. An opportunity further presented itself with the hag's position visibly diminishing from Tzal's poison and the repeated deadly blows. The Preceptor locked onto the the wretch's openings. "This is it!" Otherworldly power pulsed from the great weapon in her grasp. A shimmer of light swinging through the air and a vicious battle cry ringing off the walls of the cave signaled doom for her foe.
OOC:
I forgot to roll for Dire Attention first, so I actually should have had an extra boon on Lauretta's attack. Looks like it'll be fine though haha. If this doesn't kill her, then the hag is now also Vulnerable.Last edited January 7, 2026 11:22 pm
