Elder Sign
What is the order after a failed roll: terror, discard, then focus or spell?
The rulebook puts terror effects before the discard and the discard before any focus.

Terror effects resolve first. Then you discard one die for the failed roll, and only after that can you focus a die or request assistance. A securing spell is cast after the roll, and the rulebook does not fix its order against the discard, though it is usual to discard first so you do not secure the die you lose. A failed roll always costs a die, even if you secure or focus another one.
