Hertrud shudders from Massacre's deathly pallor.  She moves west, soon winning clear of the aura of darkness.  With a smile of triumph she utters words of malison, aiming her holy symbol at Kylek, but the curse does not penetrate Kylek's powerful mind.  With a scream of rage, the evil cleric tries again, but her curse sputters and fails.  The two blackstar knights twist themselves through space, teleporting next to their targets.  Sarenax, still inspired by the divine power he channeled, evades the blow, but Kylek feels steel pierce his flesh.  Blood spurts from a painful wound.  [sblock=ooc]Massacre expands his illusory darkness.  I have no idea how expanding this should interact with excluding squares, but I'm going to assume you can't exclude a square which was already covered, which is the only square I'd think you'd want to exclude.  Anostor is immobilized, and has no ranged attacks at all, as far as I can see.  He uses Ring of Freedom of Movement to gain +5 to various checks and saves, including against immobilized.  He then <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252231/" target="_blank">makes his save</a>.slinger 1 attacks Kylek, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252236/" target="_blank">29 vs. Fort</a> misses.  It flies down to the ground behind the wall again, out of sight except to Batin and Massacre.Hetrud takes 5 necrotic from Massacre's aura.  She moves west and attacks Kylek, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252246/" target="_blank">30 vs. Will</a> misses.  She blows an action point for another try:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252250/" target="_blank">natural 1</a>.  Well, never mind.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />Knight 1 <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252251/" target="_blank">recharges</a> deathsword.  I don't think it's marked by Kalas anymore, is it?  I've assumed it's not.  It teleports next to Kylek and uses deathsword, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252253/" target="_blank">43 vs. AC</a> hits for 19 damage and 10 ongoing damage (save ends).  Kylek is bloodied.  Knight 1 takes 8+5 cold damage from hitting Kylek.  Kylek is no longer marked.Knight 2 takes 2+10 radiant for starting near Sarenax while bloodied.  It teleports to R12 and attacks Sarenax with deathsword, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2252256/" target="_blank">28 vs. AC</a> misses.  Sarenax is no longer marked.

The slope is steep and icy.  It is difficult terrain and you grant CA while standing on it.  The stairs are gently sloped, and are normal terrain.  The green bushes around the edges are Shadowthorn Shrubs, they are difficult terrain, andAnyone starting their turn in the thorns takes 10 necrotic damage.[/sblock]</blockquote>
