Round 8
Batin bravely takes a slice at Uganon, gritting his teeth against yet another surge of deathly energy that nearly drops him.
Ba-Ka-Thet punches and kicks, but Uganon interposes his magical robe, deflecting the blows without damage.
Kalas' flesh continues to knit together under the influence of his armor. He turns and fixes his baleful glare on the four-legged prowler, and strikes a heavy blow that barely glances aside from the creature.
Kylek's practiced hands revive Sarenax, calling him back to battle. Kylek turns and begins to make his way up the sheer walls of the shaft.
Massacre continues to harry the foes with bursts of joint-stiffening cold. Uganon takes no damage, but the frost continues to build on his robe. The prowler isn't so lucky; visible cracks are spreading in its rocklike frame.
Batin grits his teeth and resists one last surge of necrotic energy. Deciding that a tactical retreat is called for, he activates his cloak, twisting space and confusing
here. Suddenly Kylek stands atop the wall, face to face with Uganon, while Batin finds himself suspended mid-air in the tomb shaft. Unperturbed, he smoothly catches himself on the sheer face before he can drop more than a few inches.
Sarenax, recalled to consciousness and to his duty, stands and takes up his weapon once more. He climbs to meet Batin, managing with some difficulty to carry his long scythe up with him.
Uganon, bereft of his target, turns his curse on Ba-Ka-Thet, and lashes out twice with his dagger, but both times the protective magics of his allies protect the monk, turning the blade aside by a hair's breadth.
The prowler lunges at Kalas, but it is weakening, and the feeble effort is easily blocked.
[sblock=ooc]OA: Batin hits with his OA, takes 5 damage himself and does 26 to Uganon.
BKT misses.
Kalas regens 5. Thanatos Pall
misses, and Kalas uses his immediate action to avoid having it attack his mount. He marks prowler 3 w/LD, and misses with Weight of Earth.
Kylek heals Sarenax, stows his rod, and climbs halfway up.
Massacre uses chilling cloud, hits Prowler 3 for 25, misses Uganon. Prowler is still up, barely. His perception check doesn't turn up any new information.
Batin stubbornly fails to die from TP. He stands and swaps places with Kylek; I'm assuming Oni is ok with this since he hasn't complained. (Besides, it's a brilliant move.) Athletics to grab on is perfectly fine; Batin succeeds.
Sarenax goes up to +37 HP, stands, and picks up his scythe. I'm willing to allow climbing with one hand at a -2 penalty, which means you exactly make the necessary DC and climb 15' up. You're level with Batin; effectively adjacent with him now. Regarding the dead naga's mark: I kept it on by analogy with a swordmage's mark, which I seem to remember reading recently that it stays on when the swordmage gets knocked unconscious. I'm not tied to this interpretation; if anyone can convince me otherwise (in the OOC thread, please) I'd be willing to reconsider.
Uganon curses BKT (minor), sustains TP (minor), and double-attacks BKT with his dagger.
35 and 34 vs. AC both miss.
Still immobilized.
The prowler attacks Kalas,
30 vs. AC misses.
Well, that wasn't much of a round for the bad guys! Let's finish this fight off.
