a cloud of illusory frost billows up and saps life from him.  Anostor, free at last to engage, moves in, axe raised eagerly.  It falls, again and again, impossibly fast, carving huge chunks of quivering flesh from the giant, which falls in several pieces.  Anostor laughs, elated by the slaughter, and charges Hertrud.  Kalas provides a timely distraction, and the deathpriest feels the bite of Anostor's blade as well.  Hertrud looks around.  With a word, she activates some property of her armor, which glows a doleful red.  It looks dangerous to touch.  She prepares some dark spell, but flinches away from Kylek's overwhelming presence.  [sblock=ooc]Massacre has clear LOS/LOE from where he is, but is only 4 squares up, so he moves 2 squares higher.  He's now 30' above ground.  Hammer of Fate misses, and is not expended.  Chilling cloud hits the giant for 25+5(crit)+5(vuln)=35.  Misses Hertrud.  The darkness ends.  Darkness ending triggers DG's readied attack, against Sarenax.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2265497/" target="_blank">27 vs. AC</a> misses.Anostor moves in on the death giant and drops a Storm of Blades; <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2265498/" target="_blank">all 5 attacks hit</a> for 31+26+24+21+27=129 damage, which kills the DG.  Anostor gains 20 temp hp, and uses Swift Charge to charge Hertrud w/ howling strike: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2265499/" target="_blank">35 vs. AC</a> (with CA from flanking w/Kalas) just hits for 39 damage.Hertrud activates her armor; anyone who hits her with a melee attack takes 3d8+2 necrotic damage (tent).  She readies an attack for when Kylek's majesty ends.  Since Kylek went first this round, if we were using strict initiative, only Kylek would get to act before her readied attack.  Since the attack may affect your actions, I'd ask that only Kylek act now, please.[/sblock][sblock=initiative and status]Everyone but Massacre has 10 cold resist until the end of the encounter<s>Rot slinger 1 dead</s><s>Rot slinger 2 [dead</s>Hertrud 111 damage, marked by Kalas w/LD, 5 cold vuln (tent Kylek), -2 to attacks and slowed (both TENT Kalas)<s>blackstar knight 1 dead</s><s>blackstar knight 2 dead</s><s>abyssal ghoul horde dead</s>Kylek HP 55/124 +8 temp Surges 13/14, bloodied, +2 power bonus to AC, next enemy to hit in melee takes 8 cold (tent Kylek)   <== You're upKalas HP 133/197 Surges 10/11, +2 power bonus to ACBatin HP 120/165 Surges 9/10, +2 power bonus to AC, dazed (save ends)Sarenax HP 94/142 Surges 8/9, regen 5, +2 power bonus to AC<s>Death giant dead</s>Massacre HP 79/102, surges 6/7 altitude 6Anostor HP 145/180 +20 temp Surges 13/13, +5 to various checks and saves from Ring of FoMMounts: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;
