[sblock=corrections and clarifications]

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.

Right, sorry. It's 26 necrotic, which comes to 11 after resists. Rolls here (roll says 25, but it should ahve been +10 instead of +9).

Sorry about the teleport, forgot to move that out from the prior post. All my OA's cause the target to be slowed from my Sudden Roots Feat

Ok, cool. I had a look at that, and it slows targets until the end of their current turn, the one that provokes the OA. Since that turn is now over, the slowed condition is gone. Maybe I should roll your OAs, if they affect movement so much...

[/sblock]

Round 2, continued

Kylek opens his mouth, roaring wintry cold and decimating the separated ghouls. He then teleports to the top of the wall and throws his arms wide, summoning a storm of freezing cold. His allies are shielded, but his enemies are shredded by the vicious chill. (ghouls 1, 3, and 4 are hit by breath and die. 2 and 5 and the horde are missed. Blizzard hits the horde, slinger 1, and knight 2. ghoul 2 has no line of effect, and 5 is missed. Hertrud fails to save against the forced movement, and falls off the wall, taking 3 damage. O16 is occupied, so I put him in P16.)

If you get hit while standing on them, it's a DC 17 acrobatics check to avoid falling off. All of you guys are medium creatures, you'd need a reach weapon to hit someone standing on the top, if you're standing on the ground. Yes, even Kalas while mounted.

The slope is steep and icy. It is difficult terrain and you grant CA while standing on it.

Lucy take us in closer, mutters Massacre, Let there be light, A radiant blast of luminesce coruscates over the knights, and ghouls. And what is lightening without thunder? Posits the undead caster, the last word rolling out of his body with an unholy power. A crack, no a Boom, blasts forth, sound buffeting his foes away and down the hill. We are a roving storm Kylek... Massacre gives the bony grin he's been working on, It feels good to be active again, laying around simply doesn't suit these bones...

Round 2, continued

Massacre flies closer to the battle. A blast of multicolored radiance washes over the bunched enemies, dazzling several of them, which is followed closely by a roar of thunder, blasting the knights backwards. (All targets of color spray are hit. The ghouls are destroyed. The horde and the knights each take an extra 10 damage due to vulnerabilities to area and radiant attacks, respectively. Thunderwave hits both knights but misses the horde. It's not legal to push them down the hill from where Massacre is, since each square of pushing must take them farther from him. I've tried to interpret your push as best I can, putting knight 1 in R6 and knight 2 in O11.)


Anostor looks down at the thorns. "Haha, that tickles," he says, as the thorns' venom seeps into his veins. He steps out of them, and whirls his axe in a huge overhand blow, trying to swat the slinger out of the sky. The undead creature evades his blow, with some difficulty. (Takes 10 necrotic from standing in the thorns. Thunderfall misses.)

Round 3

The rotwing inside the building pushes itself up and takes to the air, taking cover behind some of the ruined walls. (rotwing 1 stands from prone, flies to K8. It's hard to see on the map, but there's a bit of wall at the south end of K8, blocking LOS and LOE from the south, except from the sides (e.g. Batin can see it))

The other rotwing flaps frantically away from Anostor, dodging another sweep of the huge axe. It hurls a handful of vileness at Batin, perched on the wall to the north. It strikes Batin square in the back, sickening him. (fly to W17, 20' up. Anostor's OA misses. Orb of Decay hits Batin for 20 necrotic, and he is weakened and takes -2 to saves (save ends). Batin is out of range for Massacre's Displacement.)

Hertrud picks herself up and eyes Batin coldly. "You will pay for striking me, worm. You will pay for eons." She invokes unholy power, blasting Batin's mind. (stand from prone. Fatal vision hits Batin's will, for 15 necrotic and psychic, and Batin is stunned TENT (hertrud), and dazed thereafter (save ends). Batin doesn't fall off the wall.)

The ghoul horde rights itself.

The blackstar knights reorient themselves. One charges Kalas, blade held high, but its blow is averted by a shimmer of divine energy. The other can only stand and ready itself.
(Knight 1 takes 10 necrotic from the thorns, fails to recharge deathsword, and charges, missing Kalas due to the +2 AC from divine power. Knight 2 stands from prone.)

[Oni]

Wind and snow howled around Kylek, raking across the battlefield, a deep mirthless laugh carrying above it. The blizzard battered foes about, left and right, knocking them here and there across the ruin.

Kylek leaped from the wall, flying over the head of Kalas, and landed in a predatory crouch with a heavy thud between his allies and enemies. Drawing himself up he unleashed a terrible swirling torrent of cold from his mouth.

[sblock=ooc]

I believe Kylek should no longer be marked by knight 2.

Start of turn every enemy within LoE and 10 squares takes Cold Damage (2d6+19=29) before vulnerabilities. Slide knight 2 to M12, rotslinger 2 to U15, knight 1 to U8, and ghoul horde to V,W,X/6,7,8.

move: jump from the wall to V10, athletics is high enough that should be automatic and ring of feather fall prevents any damage that might come of falling.

standard: Rimestorm: vs. Fort (enemies only, Area: U,V,W/7,8,9) [Target Order: ghoul horde, knight 1) (1d20+26+2+1=41, 1d20+26+2=32)
Cold Damage (2d8+27+8=42), knocked prone, -2 Fort to TENT (Kylek), and 5 cold vulnerability TENT (Kylek).
Vulnerabilities not counted in, ghoul horde takes +3 damage because it's blooded and if knight 1 was bloodied by the damage at the beginning of the turn the attack was +1 to hit him and he takes +3 damage as well.

Lord Sessadore, it probably doesn't need to be said, but don't bother healing Kylek til he's been bloodied. It'll bump his AC.

OOC: unless someone kills the stun, Batin will just save vs the two effects (rotwings first to try to negate save penalty).

 

[CaBaNa]

*Kylek has certainly become intimidating... Maybe I should start some wards, just in case...* Massacre thinks to himself watching the blizzard...

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Sarenax turns to enter the ruins, but pauses before he starts walking. His features shift subtly, becoming less draconic and more humanoid, and his mouth seems to disappear. Eyes just as cold as ever, another rippling wave of the Raven Queen's power burst forth from him, blasting Her foes. As suddenly as it came, Sarenax's new face disappears.

Then the ebony monolith strides into the ruins. "Oh leader of the blasphemers, have you hidden in fear? Come, show your face and I will show you the visage of Death. You bear anger in your heart, child. Welcome Death and know true peace."

Kalas swings his sword at the knight, hoping to cover it in sickly blackish tendrils to hold it in place while he goes and helps his teleporting ally. Pointing his blade at the other knight, Gilthanas transports itself and its undead master towards the center of the room.

Seeing both the Giant and the other villain around Batin, who appeared to be unable to defend himself, Kalas calls out "Batin snap out of it!" as he concentrates for a moment. The earth here was alien to him, unlike anything he's ever encountered, but it still answered his call. Whether it was because of the Raven Queen's blessing or not he didn't know, but a wave of earth carries Batin into the corner and remains standing to provide the warrior a brief respite.
