The Gantry

The Gantry portrait

The Galleries hoist their dead upward, and the hoist has outlived its crew: a timber gantry strung with cable-silk that still lifts, still swings, and still sets whatever it is carrying down on top of whatever is underneath.

🔥 Pall-Sear
Whenever one of your hits lands, the foe heals that much. Decays by 1. The shroud cauterises what you open — many small hits feed it, one clean blow does not.
🛡 Guard
Absorbs incoming damage. Resets at the start of its turn.
