Elder Sign
What is the order of steps when a roll fails a task?
The rulebook's Terror Effects and Focusing sections set this order, and the timing posts agree.

Terror effects resolve first, since they come before any die is discarded. Then you may focus a die or request assistance, which discards one die as part of that step; otherwise you discard one die and roll the rest again.
