Effect of fireball: 
Effect of ritual empowering
Mara goes down under a tangle of flaming bodies: Tatters is on her own
Scene 1 
Scene continues: Voice v Tatters, cultists v Mara

&lt;p&gt;The Voice doubles down on the ritual: 1d4: 2! Not yet…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GM Move: Make Them Choose: Suffer a condition or Become separated from your allies&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Effect of fireball: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Effect of ritual empowering&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mara goes down under a tangle of flaming bodies: Tatters is on her own&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scene 1
Scene continues: Voice v Tatters, cultists v Mara&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Voice casts ice magic at Tatters, Tatters has Immunity (Ice) ongoing (so does Mara)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plan has gone to shit: nuclear option: light the bomb fuse&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Evoke a Spell (Teleport): 9&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Consequence: put in danger: Change the Environment: she and the Voice transported to the Demon Dimensions. With a bomb. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scene 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chaos Factor 9 
Scene Description: Battle free of the Cultists
Scene Test: The scene is Altered: Add An Object and Reduce or Remove An Activity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Object: Inactive, Multiple
Activity: Ritual d4-d6&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ritual is failing without the Voice. 
6 secondary conduits emerge. If they are manually activated, the cultists can still complete the ritual. Some cultists break off. Mara attacks the remainder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Defy (break free): 10 success&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Push Yourself (STR weakened)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Engage (attack remaining cultists): 11: Inflict 1C, parry 1C&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spend 2 of 3 Momentum for Advantage on Engage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Engage (attack remaining cultists): 10: take 1C, inflict 2C, cultists dead!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scene 3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chaos Factor 8 
Scene Description: Escape from the Demon Dimensions
Scene Test: The scene is Interrupted: PC Negative. Meaning: Deny Needs&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tatters is cut off from the Fabric. No magic!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is the same true for the ring? Likely. Yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does the bomb go off? Nearly Certain: Yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does Setarra make an offer? 50/50: Yes&lt;/p&gt;
</description>

The battle rages on. Tatters and Mara face off against their respective foes… and everything goes straight to hell.

TLAS3 Chapter 19 From Hell's Heart

Battle is joined. It has all been leading to this, but with the stakes this high, and the odds stacked against them, can Mina, Mara and Tatters possibly hope to succeed?

Scene 1
Chaos Factor  6
Scene Description: A ritual to the Voice
Scene Test: The scene starts as expected.

Open, Odd: A courtyard, open to the elements, but the sky is different (Void Sea)
How far? Distant. 
 
3 conditions:
 
First you must Reward Energy, and you and your allies will risk something Mildly Dark, and it’s going to take months. 
 
When you perform a Ritual while accessing a source of great magical power, you may ignore two requirements of your choice. 
 
Reward Energy: feedback accelerates the Voice’s ritual: advance Ominous Force. 
 
Move: Evoke a Spell (Push): Immunity to Cold: 12 (greater)
Name one specific source of harm, such as burning, cutting, lightning, poisonous gas, or mundane projectiles; for as long as this Spell is Ongoing, you are immune to harm from that source (as well as any secondary effects; choking smoke, hypothermia, etc.).
Greater: Nearby allies are equally protected.
