Lamp-eater still stands. The movement changes; the next exchange is yours to read.

Lamp-eater / 2 blood remaining

INTENT: FALSE LUNGE

Its lamp-lit tail twitches. The teeth come from the other side: Ward will cost 2 blood.

Burn interrupts the enemy. Mend spends your turn: the enemy still attacks. Damage and costs are shown on each choice.

Your move

Strike / deal 2; finish the fight

Ward / deal 1; take 2 blood

Burn / spend 1 flame / deal 2; finish the fight

Mend / spend 1 flame; restore 3 blood, then take 1

What you carry

I. Reed token / Wren remembered; a name can lower a sword.

II. White thread / Edrin's oath; +1 Ward damage against the Bellkeeper.

Mercies kept: 2 of 3. Weapon: kiln-tempered notched sword.
