The Martyr's Path

Emberus's floor boon after the foot-washing: every outdoor step marked, a gout of flame from each at 5% health — enhanced to Sheol fire by the Daughter — which Carl triggers from inside Samantha's head to bathe a demon in the power he needs, and burns Havana to the coast. Then Devotee: Sheol-proof, Self-Immolation once a day, a tithe of ten per cent.
