I meant to mention it, but forgot. I didn't want to take advantage of prophesy of doom because I figured Anostor would get a lot more bang out of it.

Round 3, continued

Kalas teleports and strikes the southern warrior a sweeping blow with his silver blade. Gaunt, ropy vines arise from the ground and bind the warrior's legs fast. (Flanking with Sarenax takes 12 squares, and Kalas' teleport speed is 11. The CA doesn't make a difference between hitting and missing, so I've put you in AI28. 30 damage to the rider, and it's marked and slowed.)

Kylek directs the conjured serpent, and another wave of burning cold envelops the enemy. The rider catches the blast full in the chest, and falls, face frozen in a rictus of pain. The huge demon, on the other hand, merely howls in anger, and faces directly into the downblast wind that Kylek conjures next, unafraid. (36 damage to rider 3 kills him. The goristro takes 28 after resists.)

Sarenak smoothly moves to flank the southern rider with Kalas, and whirls his huge scythe with deadly speed. He strikes the rider a massive blow, wounding it badly and leaving it wide open to Kalas. (NPC'd, Sarenak shifts to AI26 to flank and hits with Righteous Wrath for 39 damage. Kalas gets +7 power bonus to melee attacks against rider 2 TENT Sarenak.)

Ooohh, look how cute it is! Doncha wanna pet him? jokes Anostor calling the Goristro with his hand like you do with a kitten. What? You can't come? Then I'll get closer! and he springs forward stepping on the re-dead bones of the rider, charging the demon with a huge swing of his axe.

[sblock=actions]howling strike charging the Goristro to AH34. I'm not sure if that position flanks with Batin, if it does, the +2 from CA is not included in the roll; Anostor uses Student of the sword for the +1 to hit(but no marking): 35(or 37) vs AC, 88 dmg, knock prone, and 20 ongoing damage(which unfortunately does not stack); if it hits, Rampage activates: basic attack with CA, power attack and +5 to damage from Oak Hammer Rage: 31 vs AC, 41 dmg[/sblock]

Round 3, continued

Anostor circles to the west and charges the demon. As he moves in, the goristro raises a huge hoof, ready to crush him, but the tentacles wrap around it and the demon nearly falls. Anostor's axe falls like divine vengeance, hewing deeply into demonic flesh twice. (Can't charge to AH34 from where you're at, since there are closer squares from which you could attack. However, you have a move action left, which you can use to circle to a place from which AH34 is a valid charge target. That's what I've done. Goristro gets a stomp attack as an immediate reaction when Anostor moves adjacent, which is a natural 1. AH34 doesn't flank with Batin (see PHB p.285), but Anostor hits anyway, bloodying the goristro and knocking it prone. It already has ongoing untyped damage from a jagged weapon crit, so I don't think the new ongoing damage stacks. Anostor's followup attack hits too, for 41 more damage.)

The goristro leaps to its feat and pounds at Anostor, going into a frenzy of destruction, pounding Anostor again and again with its massive fists. But the giant human warrior is equal to the task, and takes only one grazing strike from the demon. (Take 20 ongoing. Recharge stomp succeeds. stand up, and spend an AP to double attack twice. Four attacks, only one hit, for 24 damage, most of which comes out of temp hp. Sigh. It saves against both immobilized and ongoing damage.)

Anostor reacts immediately at the Goristro swinging its enormous claws at him, but strikes the demon on his bulky horns, that sustain most of the force of the blow. This one sure can take a beating! Yo, Priest!! he calls to Saerenax, If you do the trick from before again, this will end much faster!

Batin turns and he is next to the irrepressible warrior. With only a slight nod to Anostor, the swordmage weaves his sword in a warding gesture, and then plunges it into the beast with such force the sword tears reality, shunting the goristro aside where it appears stunned and in the open for other's attacks.[sblock=Actions]Move action to Armathor's Step to AI34 next to Anostor and gain a +2 power bonus to attack in addition to the +2 from CA. Minor to mark. Standard action to Planar Shock: [AC 48, 28 damage, teleporting the goristro so that its lower, right hand corner is in AG34 (Anostor and the serpent are astride it) and stunning it (save ends).
