[X] "Maria! Keep this on ye!"
[X] Toss her a cross key, then let barrier pages fly onto the far wall and the pillars. With a rushed consecration, form square 'electric fence' wards that you and Maria can duck through to shield against magic blasts and restrict Logarius's movements.
[X] Bombard Logarius with flying bayonets, luring him into a charge that faceplates him against the barrier.
[X] Eventually, Logarius will realize he can bypass the barrier by flying up and swooping down. When that moment comes, fall onto your back, brace the Club of Righteousness between your boots, and laser the Executioner out of the sky like skeet!

vs. Martyr Logarius: Breaking Point
As tempting as it is to wade back in and beat the motherfucker with your stump until he says he's sorry, shenanigans like that are best attempted when you aren't getting your ass handed to you by a freeze-dried beanpole with irrationally large harvesting equipment. Come Hell or high water, you're getting that hand back.
Maria re-enters the fray, ever-so-slightly wobbled by the earlier blow, and bursts forward with another flurry. Logarius keeps her at range with his massive scythe and you watch, enraptured, as Maria bobs and weaves with serpent fluidity to try and slip past the prowling blade. As the dance continues, you lash out with a bayonet flurry and dive forward, hand in sight. The scythe disengages to intercept the blades and Maria charges into sword range, scraping her off-hand weapon across its haft to keep it at bay.
Her attack is beautifully timed. So, you have to admit, is Logarius' return fire.
His sword parries her thrust and the scythe terminates its intercept course halfway into your left femur. Several of your favorite arteries begin evacuation procedures as you yank it free and roll away, fumbling with your newly-reclaimed hand. As best as you can tell between the spurting blood and your de-amputation efforts, Logarius took Maria's shorter blade to the midsection without issue. He brings the scythe back around, drawing her attention, and launches her back with the same front kick he hit you with.
Once again, he maintains his position against the wall as Maria circles and you hobble back to your feet. You've got just enough feeling in your right hand to grab your club and twist it like this, aiming down the sights at the sword that's been giving the two of you so many issues. For the first time, the big man seems to hesitate, caught between defending and winding up for another sweep of skulls. He's slow to react when you drag the beam across his left arm, although the resulting explosion wakes him right the fuck back up.
Logarius howls in pain as his blackened sword skitters away, turgid blood oozing from the ugly wound you left behind. Maria pounces and, without his other weapon or his composure, Logarius is in no position to respond. She tears into him in a torrent of blows that you strain yourself to follow. You can't really contribute with ranged support for fear of hitting her, but she doesn't even need it. Robes in tatters and supporting wall cracking beneath the onslaught, he slumps forward.
Then the displaced sword explodes.
The familiar smoke it disgorges coalesces into a rain of blades that Maria deftly avoids. She does not, however, avoid the massive scythe swing that crunches into her chest and nearly sends her hurtling off the roof. You follow her flight with your gaze, watching as she stabs her sword into the tiles to arrest her motion, and turn back just in time to see Logarius bearing down on you like a freight train carrying other, equally-intimidating freight trains. While your club stands up to the overhead blow, the wrist you'd just finished putting back together splinters beneath it.
He looms over you, forcing his enormous leverage onto your damaged leg , and swats you across the face with his limp left hand hard enough to crack a tooth. Your grip falters just long enough for him to wind up and send you flying with a horizontal bash that's more tennis swing than elegant swipe.
You pull yourself out of the wall, spitting out a few globs of blood, and stare down the renewed Logarius. His smoke is pouring off his body and you can hear the tiles crack beneath his footsteps as he walks over to his sword. When his left hand proves too damaged to pick it up, he rams his staff into the rooftop, picks up the sword with his now-free right, and shoves the blade through his palm up to the spiked guard. It scrapes along the ground as he marches forward, adding a fresh coat to the trail of blood he's been leaving behind.
Said blood is, for some reason, making a slow surge towards Maria's kneeling form. The other scattered puddles follow its lead as you pull yourself as tall as you can, slamming your wounded hand into your chest in a show of defiance.
"Nice special effects, ye beef jerky-lookin' sack o' shit. I'm gonna hang ye off the Chapel roof and use ye as a fuckin' smoke machine."
He responds by swinging his sword in an ungainly arc that nonetheless comes within inches of cutting your throat. It is, you have to admit, a fairly effective retort, though its thunder gets stolen somewhat by the explosion of blood behind you. The both of you turn to see Maria, bent nearly double by her wounds, storming forward with flame in her wake.
You'll have to ask her to teach you that.

I do hope we can actually ask for teachings from Maria.
No, wrong desire. I hope she agrees to teach us.

Logarius is fuckawesome. I love it.
Hot damn, I can definitely see why Logarius could call his corps the Executioners without irony. The man is a MONSTER.
So Maria entered second (or was it third?) stage of her boss fight while Logarius took much less damage than I thought he would. Wonderful. On the other hand, having only one hand means that Maria would be able to pressure him more effectively. I propose:
[] You're wounded. Maria's wounded. But neither of you are that hindered and still have, as Maria's latest trick showed explosively, more tricks.
-- [] "Cover me." While Maria helped herseif with the metaphorically disarmed Logarius, fire tactical lasers and bayonets as you heal the wounds.
-- [] The moment that happens, go and directly kick arse for the Lord by the way of close quarter bayonet to the face.
Didn't want to vote yet because I am certain there are blind spots in that plan. Don't know what though. What do you all think?

Flame blood is third stage.
Which made it even more dangerous. The fact that Maria with assistance is pushed to using that instead of saving it for last against Logarius is....making me worry on what would happened had we chose to come alone.

[X] Logarius is hobbled, there's two of you, and he only has one weapon left. Go in for the melee and lock down that scythe to create an opening for Maria.
Feel free to modify/add to that plan.

On the other hand, Maria's presence mean that we can't just carpet bomb the entire room with rapid fire Bible Cannon since she'd get caught in the blast.

It occurs to me that Logarius, in this Quest, might be a puzzle boss. He's taken a whole bunch of blows to the torso and midsection, but his combat strength and undead vitality hasn't diminished. I suspect that even if we sliced him in half at the waist, his upper torso would still fly around and try to clobber us.
Since Logarius is a cursed Revenant, we should try to finish him off zombie style–removing the head or destroying the brain. I'd recommend either Vocalend's post or this one:
[X] After Maria blitzes the Executioner with a flame blood attack, send out a swarm of bible pages, wrap them around the shaft of Logarius's scythe, and light up a Ward to force the weapon out of his hands.
[X] Load your left hand with bayonets. Load your right hand with bayonets. Hold a bayonet between your teeth.
[X] Charge Logarius's right side, away from the sword crucified into his left hand (which is kinda hard-core, Christian-wise). If you lose your right hand, swing with your left. If you lose both hands, swing with the blade in your teeth. But in the name of the Lord, cut his head clean off!

Well thus far this hasn't been working so well, so sure, I'm on board.
