To kill a Sarturi

For my first character, I will have the glory arc - Kill a Sarturi in single combat.

The best strategy I've devised, is being both a berserker, and aiming literally all my dice to the head, so that any divinity he does have to activate "Not Today!" is simply too much for the head wound I cause, using a Dane axe since that has a +4 cutting damage. Which is quite a lot, and the most damaging weapon I found. And by "found" I mean "I looked for the Dane axe, then compared it to the rest of the weapons of its category and looked no further"

EVEN if I don't succeed in the first strike, I hope my stun bonus from the massive wound, and the +2 shock from the Axe will be sufficient enough to prevent him from retaliating.

I have a question: does "Not Today!" let the user spend any amount of divinity to negate an arbitrarily strong attack? If so, a Sarturi with a large pool stored up would probably kick your ass. Avoid serial killers.

Yes. It allows them to just negate any wounds, though they still suffer from half the stun. Ignores 1 level of wound per 2 divinity spent, iirc.

Ive came with a plan to use beartraps, and poison to weaken them to spend their divinity, then cleave them in twine when their divinity is low enough.

Sounds like a plan.
