"Lady priest, can you move me toward the leader, just a bit?" rumbles Cairn
Baern draws Tooth as well as Claw and steps towards the near Human, swinging both in a blur that bloodies the man.
"Oh that's cold. Narvala, can you spare an old man some space?"
"I believe I can manage that." Narvala says, responding to both requests. She points her staff at the floor near Nyar and the zombie, and while the undead creature is blasted by holy energy channeled from her guantlets, Nyar is wisked away. On the other side of the battlefield, Cairn is moved to where he had asked to be moved to.
Cairn rotates in place holding Ghalad'Zar above his head, whirling ever faster. The halberds blade is now obviously shining from the inside. After a second rotation, the weapon swings in a wide arc, catching cold zombies and the leader in it's reach.
"You cannot harm Eberron, human. You cannot even harm this little rock."
"My thanks, Lady Navala," Nyar shivers through his cold lips.
Nyar raises a tremoring hand, drinking the potion he had retrieved previously. The cold chilled the glass so that he had difficulty releasing the vial.
With a quiet, shaking wave of his wand, the cloud rolls down over the necromancer.
"Miss Christina, do you think that your bear would mind eating that zombie?" Indicating the one behind the group.
You got it! Pooh is good at eating things! Christina says laughing. Before she leaves she calls upon the powers of the earth, summoning a think bark-like crust around Cairn.
Next she and Pooh rush up to the flanking zombie. Christina manages to get in a hit, but Pooh is too excited at the potential kill and fumbles.
The human Baern attacked should be dead. He not only gets a counter attack when Baern hits him and punches Baern in the face, but he also manages to shake off the damage, and then pull out a potion. He then kicks Baern in the face, but it's a glancing blow.
The other two humans jump down easily from their tall perches, move around the cloud and fire slings at Baern up above. But, the one has crates in the way and the other has the cloud in the way, so they both miss.
The two remaining zombies continue to attack Cairn. One misses, but the other hits Cairn in his leg, again freezing him in place.
"Two can play that game mage." the Leader says as he moves out of the Stinking Cloud, down the crates, and back up the crates. An area of Darkness forms around him, blinding the team inside it and preventing the rest of the team from seeing inside. He then blasts Nyar in the chest. Christina's magic prevents some of the damage. "Why won't you just die?" he asks in frustration. "Kill the mage at all costs." he shouts.

Note: If you cannot see the maps well, you can look at an earlier map to see where the crates are and what color they are.
Note: PCs except for Baern are still down below the catwalk. If your PC is shown as on top of the catwalk on the map, s/he is really below the catwalk until you get up there.

20 hits Reflex for 9 damage.
Note: did not use Shield spell as it wouldn't have helped.

Special note: if a PC enters a Zombie Aura, s/he will take damage as if starting in the aura (5 in one aura, 10 in two auras, etc.).
Cairn take 5 cold damage in the aura at the start of his turn and Nyar takes 5 ongoing cold damage.
It's the PC's turn.
Ceiling: The ceiling is 35 feet overhead.
Catwalks: These metallic walkways, standing 20 feet above the floor, aid in the movement and placement of crates. A sequence of chains and pulleys runs across the underside of the catwalks. This enables a character to climb, hand-over-hand, along the underside of these catwalks with a DC 20 Acrobatics or Athletics check, at normal climbing speed. Except where the ladders stand, the catwalk has a railing all the way around. Anyone wishing to deliberately climb or leap over the railing must spend an extra square of movement to do so, and any push, pull, or slide effect that would drag a creature over that railing must also spend an extra square to do so.
Crates: Each individual crate is roughly 5 feet (1 square) high, but they are often stacked two or three crates (that is, 10 or 15 feet, or 2 or 3 squares) in height, as marked on the map. Stepping up on a single crate requires an extra square of movement, while moving down a single crate does not cost any additional movement. Climbing two or three crates requires a DC 18 Athletics check. So, climbing from a height of zero to one crate to two crates to three crates is two squares for the first, two for the second and two for the third without a check. But climbing straight up two crates is an Athletics check.
Ladders: The ladders are all 20 feet (4 squares) in height, but count as 8 squares of movement. A DC 12 Acrobatics or Athletics check allows a character to climb them at the normal 4 squares of movement if the player declares as part of the comment on Invisible Castle that s/he is doing a fast climb.
Stairs: The stairs to the south count as difficult terrain.
The yellow crates are one square high.
The red crates are two squares high.
The green crates are three squares high.
Entire room except columns 27, 28, and 29 are fully lit up.
