<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2237162/" target="_blank">misses</a>.  Massacre and Anostor are up.  [/sblock][sblock=initiative and status]Everyone but Massacre has 10 cold resist until the end of the encounterRot slinger 1 155 damage, bloodied, 5 vuln cold TENT (kylek), 5 cold vuln TENT (kylek)<s>Rot slinger 2 [dead</s>Hertrud 14 damageblackstar knight 1 110 damage, bloodied, marked by Kalas, subject to LD TENT (Kalas), dazed TENT (massacre)blackstar knight 2 157 damage, bloodied, marked by Kalas, subject to LD TENT (Kalas), 5 cold vuln TENT (kylek), dazed TENT (massacre)<s>abyssal ghoul horde dead</s>abyssal ghoul 7 deadabyssal ghoul 9 deadKalas HP 150/197 Surges 11/11, +2 power bonus to ACKylek HP 84/124 Surges 13/14, +2 power bonus to ACBatin HP 120/165 Surges 9/10, +2 power bonus to AC, stunned TENT (Hertrud) and dazed thereafter (save ends), resist 5 all and +2 power bonus to defenses (TENT Kalas).Sarenax HP 134/142 Surges 8/9, +2 power bonus to ACDeath giant unharmedMassacre HP 79/102, surges 6/7, extra move action pending   <== You're upAnostor HP 161/180 Surges 13/13Mounts:Lucifa  HP 106/106 surges 0/1Gilthanas HP 138/138 surges 2/2Auras and zones: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Massacre: Aura 3;
