[sblock=ooc]Kylek's blizzard does kill the ghouls.  Knight 1 takes 24 damage and slides to V8.  The death giant also has LOE, so it takes 24 cold as well.  the knight takes 60 cold from burning spray, and Kylek gains 8 temp hp. Sarenax regens 5.  Since I didn't have your regen marked down, we both forgot it last round, so I retroactively regen'd you another 5.  Knight 2 has more than 15 hp left, so it doesn't die.  Righteous Brand misses.Kalas marks knight 2 w/LD and hits it for 27 psychic and -2 to its next attack roll.  Batin leaps to P15 successfully.  He can't continue to P14, since that doesn't work for the movement requirements on a charge.  Also, P15 is inside the zone of blindness when he lands, so takes -5 to his attack.  Which still hits for 30 damage.  Batin's enhanced defenses expire.The death giant steps west, out of the zone, and attacks Sarenax w/flanking:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2249262/" target="_blank">34 vs. AC</a> misses.  The giant consumes a soul shard and regains 20 hp.  It has three left.  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 <s>Rot slinger 2 [dead</s>Hertrud 14 damage, marked by Batin w/Aegisblackstar knight 1 194 damage, bloodied, marked by Kalas, 5 cold vuln (tent Kylek)blackstar knight 2 196 damage, bloodied, -2 to next attack roll, marked by Kalas w/LD<s>abyssal ghoul horde dead</s>abyssal ghoul 7 abyssal ghoul 9 Kalas HP 133/197 Surges 10/11, +2 power bonus to ACKylek HP 66/124 +8 temp Surges 13/14, +2 power bonus to AC, marked by knight 1 (tent kn 1), next enemy to hit in melee takes 8 cold damage (TENT kylek)Batin HP 120/165 Surges 9/10, +2 power bonus to AC, dazed (save ends)Sarenax HP 89/142 Surges 8/9, regen 5, +2 power bonus to AC, marked by knight 2 (tent kn 2), weakened and takes -2 to saves (save ends)Death giant 36 damageMassacre HP 79/102, surges 6/7   <== You're upAnostor HP 145/180 Surges 13/13, immobilized (save ends)Mounts: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; living enemies take 5 necrotic, undead enemies take 5 radiant.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Burst 2 on O15:  umbral darkness (TENT Massacre).  Creatures within are blinded.</li> </ul>Resources used:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kalas: AP, Red death, blood oath fulfilled, coif of focus, 1 daily magic item power.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Massacre:  Evard's black tentacles, Carcanet power, 1 daily magic item power, Furnace of Sand, color spray, AP, Umbral assault</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kylek: AP, blackfrost serpent, downbeat of wings, breath, spatial trip, blizzard, rimestorm</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Sarenax:  AP, divine power, breath,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Anostor:  AP, Oak Hammer Rage, Thunderfall</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Batin:  AP, Planar Shock, Dual Lightning strike, Shadow Jaunt, planestrider boots,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Blackstar knight 1:  deathsword</li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=map and terrain notes]<img src="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/deathsreach/gate1_09.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The thick black lines are the walls of the building.  There is no roof on the building.  The walls are 15' high and 1' thick.  They can be climbed with a DC 20 athletics check.  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 rubble, marked with a triangle, is difficult terrain.
