Here is Blood Agony's Card text.
-
Name: Blood Agony
[AH, FN]
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Quietus
[qui] Damage from this vampire's next hand or melee weapon strike is
aggravated. Not usable during the first round of combat.
[QUI] For the remainder of this combat, damage from this vampire's hand and
melee weapon strikes is aggravated. Not usable during the first round of
combat.

There 's a slight difference in the wording of the two lines above, but we
don't know to which extend the usage of the card differs depending on the
minions superior or inferior quietus mastery.
Now the puzzle : during combat, we get to second round. My assamite declares
a strike : blood fury for 2 damage. Opponent declares a hand strike for one.
My assamite the plays a blood agony at superior to make the damage
aggravated. Sound normal, huh ?
Now what if the assamite had inferior quietus ? is it too late to play Blood
Agony at this point ? i guess the part "next hand or melee weapon strike"
applies to a strike not yet declared (because the wording is clearly
different from wolf claws and the second line fromblood agony) . Does it
mean the effect of Blood agony will affect my additional strike and not my
current strike ? what if i don't get the chance to play an additional strike
and press instead to a 3rd round. Will my strike be aggravated in the 3rd
round of combat ?
i know it sounds twisted but i want to be sure about the answer !
thank you =)

Sure.

No.

It applies to the next strike, whether it has been declared yet or no.
> Does it

No.
> what if i don't get the chance to play an additional strike

Moot, but no. Combat cards' effects apply only to the round in which they
are played by default.

No. Damage "from a strike" is done in strike resolution.

I believe this is called environmental damage and the damage during
the press step is not "hand or melee weapon" damage, its damage that's
from dagon's call.
