From the crenellations she '''one-shot the wight''' with her Javelin of Lightning (6 piercing + 14 lightning), then spent '''Hellgate's Passage''' to teleport down beside the cornered necromancer — 16 thunder damage on arrival — and beat on him with '''[[Garmok's Flail]]''' (Sap mastery: disadvantage on his next attack). The necromancer answered with '''Bestow Curse''': she rolled a 4, and then failed the DC 15 action-lock save ''even with her Tempered Soul d6'' — a rare glimpse of her being genuinely stuck. She shook it off by protecting others anyway: '''Shield of Faith on Big Karma'''. Her harvest Calligrapher's 24 (the Diligent Folio paying off) took the wyrmlings' '''Storm-Etched Ink'''. Her '''[[Tempered Soul]] Aspect domain''' was defined: '''past the point of breaking''' — rolls made when she should already have stopped: bloodied, raging, exhausted, or forcing through what resists her.

			In [[Session 49 - Old White Death (2026-04-26)]], during the party's doomed first battle with [[Arauthator]], Xanphina was the '''last one standing''' — the de-facto tank.

She fought on alone to the end.
