The great fiend that struck down a few of Theo's magical defenses was strong, indeed, but at the same time could not overcome every protection Theo had. With Yara no longer in his sword, he could use his body once again to protect his friends from these foes who had desecrated a holy site to Charis.

He considers a Radiant Charge, hoping that a solid hit would help protect him, but the fiend's reach would prove difficult to overcome and his foe would have too easy of a time shredding Theo to pieces. The fiend could dispel, but possibly wouldnt want to use every round doing nothing but trying to target Theo with spells that did no damage.

Theo decided that the best thing would be to make himself a target to fight, one on one. Theo casts Righteous Might, growing in size and strength. Theo let out a mighty roar to challenge the fiend, and spent a moment channeling the fury of the gods to ever improve his might (animal devotion, ape's fury).
