Alternatively, can we kill the Runes of Malediction and Corrupted Effigy this round, by any chance?
Scholar can't really deal much damage this turn, but I can redirect and soak up a lot for a round.
(Sorry about the lateness, guys--my wifi was out most of the day.)

Fixer yells out, drawing the Corrupted Effigy's attention as he dashes straight towards the Runes of Malediction. Performing a deft aerobatical maneuver, Fixer somersaults off of the Runes, catching his crowbars under the Corrupted Effigy and flinging it directly at the monolith. The Effigy shatters in an explosion of energy, knocking over the Runes, which crumble to the ground with a few arcane sparks. Diving for cover, Fixer rolls into a fighting stance directly in front of the Fiendish Pugilist, bringing it to its knees with a swift crowbar to the kneecap.
"Them relics are fair game now. Get after 'em!"
