Round 1, continued
Batin appears in ghostly silhouette next to Kalas and swings, lightning chasing along the edge of his sword, disappearing almost as soon as his sword, by sheer chance, passes over the tumblind rotwing. He appears again, still translucent, on the wall next the the other rotwing, but once again, his sword fails to make contact. (both misses. Batin ends up on the wall in T10. Note that he's not adjacent to the blackstar knight, being 15' up. Kalas keeps the mark on slinger 2.)
Kylek's wide-flung arms summon great ethereal wings, which sweep Batin's target off the wall and send it hurtling to the ground. Kylek is also carried closer to the fray. (hits slinger 1 for 57 damage and 7 falling damage. )
Sarenax intones a sermon of vengeance as he strides forward, shaking out his scythe theatrically.
Massacre shrieks hatred, and summons a whirling vortex of white-hot sand above the battlefield. (Since you included attack rolls for Hertrud as well as creatures inside the walls, I'm assuming your square of origin is above the walls in R13. Line of effect prevents the zone from affecting part of its area, and you've excluded several squares; I've tried to show that in the map. In the end, only blackstar knight 1, 2, and Hertrud are in the area, and only knight 1 is hit -- but he resists 15 fire, so takes only 4 damage. I'm assuming you intended to exclude Batin's square, T10, as well as Kalas' squares.)
Anostor's face splits into a huge grin, and he gives a whoop of joy as he charges into the fray, axe swinging. The heavy blade shears off a chunk of gristly flesh from the rotwing fallen at Kalas' feet. Anostor cheerfully ignores the fact that he is standing in a patch of thorns. (NPCing Anostor, since we've not heard from Ata recently. Move+charge to V13, howling strike hits slinger 2 for 44 damage. Anostor will take 10 necrotic from the thorns at the start of his next turn if he hasn't been moved by then.)
Round 2
The fallen rotwing stands, and takes to the sky, fleeing rather than trying to defend itself. (stand, fly to X20, 7 squares above ground. Provokes OAs from Kalas and Anostor. Kalas takes -2, since he is marked by knight 1 at this point. If Kalas' OA hits, it will be slowed, and will only get 10' up in V15.)
The other rotwing stands as well, and hurls bits of its own putrescent innards at Batin. Even in his ghostly state, the swordsman feels drained by the ghastly filth. (orb of decay vs. Batin's Fort hits for 21 necrotic; Batin takes half, and is weakened and takes -2 to saving throws (save ends both))
Hetrud edges along the wall, brushing burning sand away from her face. "Nice try, unliving fool. You evade your rightful master only for a brief moment. When Orcus takes you, he will kill you slowly a thousand times for defying him, before he inevitably crushes your feeble will. Perhaps, if I ask, he will give you to me as a slave. Would you like that? Hmm?" Again, dark malice flashes towards Massacre, but the whirling sands deflect enough of the energy that Massacre is unaffected. (miss. I remembered the -5 to ranged attacks from a distance, but not before I made the roll.)
The blackstar knight flares blue, and disappears, teleporting behind Kalas. Its greatsword makes a massive arc, which Kalas dodges easily. (teleport to W10, deathsword misses. Kalas is no longer marked.)
Through the flaming sands another blackstar knight moves unerringly towards the door, stepping past Kalas. It attacks Kylek, opening a bloody furrow across the dragonborn's white chest from shoulder to hip. (blackstar knight 2 moves to U10, taking an OA from Kalas w/CA. Crit vs. Kylek for 29 damage, and Kylek is marked TENT(knight 2))
A chittering horde of abyssal ghouls swarms through the ruined side of the building, going over the rubble as much as around it, moving with unholy speed. It rounds the corner and springs toward Kylek's back, hundreds of mouths and claws reaching for warm flesh, but all falling short, for now. (miss vs. Kylek.)

As the rotter slinks away, Kalas swings out with his glowing purple blade connecting solidly against the foe. Spectral tendrils spring from the ground, slowing the foe. As the knight moves close to him, the same result happens as Kalas lands a solid blow on the enemy.
He calls out "I shall deal with these knights! You will pay for your insolence!", forcing the knights to face him or face the revenant's wrath.
Kalas swings out quickly against both foes with his enchanted blade, hoping to catch them off guard and send them to the ground.

Kylek's eyes blazed pale blue with fury that the strange knight had struck him, but before he could react he was beset a host of scrabbling crawling clawing undead. His attention suddenly divided the massive dragonborn fought to keep the terrible creatures away.
Back...back! You are not fit to lay hands on me!
Spying the dying embers of Massacre's spell, Kylek held his ground until it began to vanish. As those fires faded he snarled and drew in a deep breath before unleashing a blast of frozen breath from his jaws that swept over the enemies before him.
Before the frost crystals had vanished from the air Kylek burst apart into a swirl of wind and snow and disappeared from the grasp of his foes. In a swirl of cold he appeared grandly atop the wall nearby.
Tremble and fall to the ground, and know the wrath of Kylek.
He roared a roar the shook the masonry and wind driven sheets of snow swept across the ruin, cycloning around Kylek with eerily selective destruction.

Rot slinger 1 was crit and takes Cold Damage (4d6+40+27+8+5=91) and because I crit I'll use Chill winds to slide Hertrud into O16

Sarenax inhales a quick breath and expells it as freezing cold wind, sweeping over the two knights and Kylek, who simply ignores the cold. Then the massive cleric strides into the center of the melee and unleashes the power of the Raven Queen.
"Taste the Raven Queen's fury, feel her wrath! We are Her weapon, Her tool of destruction against your blasphemy, and She will protect us from your feeble attacks!"
The already massive cleric seems to grow yet larger for a moment and his blade glows a deep purple as he lashes out in an arc to each side, then lashes out in front towards the roiling mass of ghouls. While they would normally be beyond his reach, the new size of Sarenax and his weapon are more than enough for him to not only reach, but cleave through the undead. Meanwhile, dark energies rise from the very ground, wrapping around the closest of Sarenax's allies to protect them. After the flurry is complete, Sarenax recedes back to his usual size.

Radiant damage: 2d12+17=30
Nat 1 and 2 misses the knights. If either is miraculously hit, no push.
If the ghoul swarm is hit, push 1 to U-W/5-7.

I figured it would be better to get the swarm away from Kylek before his turn starts, because it probably has some nasty aura.[/sblock]

Stomping his boots together, Batin steps and finds himself next to Hetrud as he solidifies. The janissary's sword flickers itself as Batin strikes again, the blade ignoring the creature's armor. He then performs his warding maneuver, threatening with retaliation, the grey pallor from the rotwing's attack fading to its normal grey as he does so.

Lucy continues to hover, as Massacre, his fury played out, lazily takes in the view. Inferior opponents, always inferior opponents. Items rattled idly, dangling from eladrin bones, as the dust particles of his anger began to recede. It's insulting really, Orcus is obviously lackadaisical in his recruitment, or just a half-wit. Unless these meager foes are his underestimation of our prowess. Rude or a Fool. He flips into a view of his tower, checking through each room, and making sure Igor isn't dissecting another hapless wanderer.

Round 2
Kalas' blade slaps down the fleeing rotwing, releasing a shower of sickly blood and slowing its escape dramatically. (rotwing 2 is slowed and only reaches V15, 10' high. It is bloodied.)
Anostor takes a swing, too, but, being unprepared, misses.
The blackstar knight moving through the door also feels the bite of Kalas' silver blade, though it shows no sign of being deterred by the blow. (Kalas also hits knight 2 with the OA, though I don't think he's slowed, since he's not yet your LD target, yes?)
Kalas looms, a supernatural manifestation of justice incarnate, drawing the attention of both knights for a moment. He whirls his sword in a huge arc, but both knights easily parry the blow. (Can't teleport to U/V 12/13, since Anostor is in V13. I'm not sure why you'd want to anyway, since both knights would be out of range of your attack then, so I've ignored the move action. Blood Oath Fulfilled misses both knights, but they are both marked and subject to LD.)
Sarenax blasts a lungful of icy breath into the fray, catching both knights unawares. He then he steps forward, stepping adroitly beneath a slash from the nearby knight. His scythe seems impossibly huge as he wields it in a wide circle, and though the blade only catches the ghoul horde, nearby allies are bolstered by the nearby passage of divine favor. When Sarenax cuts the ghoul horde, their myriad mouths all scream at once, and black blood flies everywhere. Some of it gets on Kylek, burning through his scales to score the flesh beneath with corruption. The horde withdraws from Sarenax, cowed by the godlike presence manifesting through him, but a handful of malformed ghouls, severed from the horde, remain behind. (breath hits both knights, misses the ghouls. knights take 12 cold damage. OA misses, Divine power hits only the horde, which takes an extra 10 from vulnerability to area attacks. The forced movement causes ghoul stragglers to be separated from it and remain behind in squares it vacates.)
Batin appears on the wall next to Hertrud, swinging his sword before it even solidifies. The blow is weak, but still commands the attention of the deathpriest. (hits, marks w/aegis)
[sblock=Batin]You see a death giant waiting inside the building, peering into the fiery mists. It stands inside a blood-red, uneven circle on the ground. A large number of bodies, stacked like cordwood against the northern wall, provide mute evidence of the source of the reddish hue.
When it sees you, the giant steps closer to you. It reaches a long arm towards you and pushes. You nearly fall, but manage to slip aside from the enormous hand, remaining precariously perched on the wall. (bull rush attack misses.)
[sblock=Religion or Arcana DC 28]The red circle has been consecrated to Orcus by an unholy ritual. It is now Blood Rock, and those who serve Orcus are stronger and more deadly when standing on it.
ooc: they gain +2 to attack rolls. Anyone on it, servant or no, crits on a 19 or 20.

Just a couple of changes.
Change Area of Dragon Breath to T,U,V/6,7,8 so knight 1 is no longer included in the area.
Dragon Breath: vs Ref, additional attack rolls [target order: ghoul 1,2,3,4,5] (1d20+24=39, 1d20+24=25, 1d20+24=44, 1d20+24=43, 1d20+24=27)
Ghoul 2 is automatically missed. Ghoul 3 is crit for 19 cold damage. Crit activates Chill Winds, slide Sarenax to W11 so he's not flanked anymore.
Also here are some additional attack rolls for the blizzard vs the ghouls.
Blizzard: vs Ref, additional attacks [target order: ghoul 1,2,3,4,5] (1d20+26=44, 1d20+26=44, 1d20+26=41, 1d20+26=33, 1d20+26=27)
Ghoul 5 automatically missed. Any that were hit by the Dragon Breath have an additional +2 to hit them and 5 extra damage from vulnerability.
[edit: Oh, yeah. You made it sound as though Kylek took damage when Sarenax attacked the ghoul horde, but you didn't mention any specifics in the mechanical bit in your post. ]
