Reflex for Naga 1, 2, 3, and Uganon, rolls are <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315794/" target="_blank">31, 44, 27, 38</a>, without factoring in cover.  Hits Uganon and naga 2 for <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315797/" target="_blank">23 damage</a>, of which Uganon resists 15.  All four are blinded while in the zone.Batin teleports and charges, hitting n1 for 34 damage.  Uganon curses Batin (minor).  He uses Thanatos Pall:  area burst 5 from X11, 5 squares high.  Lightly obscured for enemies (which means none of you except Batin are close enough to see any of the foes now).  Attacks vs. Fort for Batin, Massacre, Lucy, Kalas, Gilthanas, Kylek, Sarenax:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315852/" target="_blank">32, 45, 31, 41, 33, 41, crit</a>.  I assume Kalas will use Mirrored Caparison to make it not hit Gilthanas (however, note that MC is an immediate interrupt, and thus 1/round).  Hits everyone.  Damage rolled is <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315854/" target="_blank">15 necrotic</a>, so Massacre, Kylek, and Kalas resist all of it.  Batin and Lucy take 15, and Sarenax takes 19 for the crit.  Batin is cursed, and takes an additional <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315873/" target="_blank">16 necrotic </a>damage.  Uganon's enemies who enter or start their their turn in the zone are subject to another attack, +26 vs. Fort, 2d6+7 necrotic damage.Uganon moves northeast, passing out of sight in the obscured terrain.  (Only Batin sees this.)   Naga1 shifts SW, moving out of the furnace of sand zone.  She attacks Batin, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2315874/" target="_blank">crit</a> for 19 poison and necrotic damage, and 10 ongoing p&n damage (se), with an aftereffect that once he saves, he'll be dazed (tent naga1).  Finally, Batin is marked by naga1 as long as he suffers any effect from the bite.  I'm certainly not putting all of that into the status line; we'll just have to try to remember it.  Naga 2 is out of sight.  Naga 3 is out of sight, except for Fury, who sees it move and ready an action.  Everyone is up.  Keep in mind the effects of lightly obscured terrain:  5 squares of it between you and your target means total concealment.[/sblock][sblock=status and initiative]Everyone except Fury has +1 to skill checks, saves, and ability checks until they leave Zvomarana.Fury HP 143/143 Surges 12/12Massacre HP 102/102, surges 4/7, 2 squares upBatin HP 114/165 Surges 8/10, cursed by Uganon, 10 ong p&n damage (se), marked by naga1Uganon 8 damageNaga 1 34 damageNaga 2 23 damageNaga 3 undamagedSarenax HP 87/142 Surges 7/9  <== You're upKylek HP 124/124 Surges 12/14Kalas HP 197/197 Surges 9/11Mounts:Lucifa  HP 91/106 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">Furnace of Sand (tent Massacre):  burst 3 on O7, 4 squares up.  Lightly obscured.  Creatures in the zone (except Massacre) are blinded.  Creatures entering the zone take 1d10+9 fire damage.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thanatos Pall (tent Uganon, sustain minor):  burst 5 on X11 6 sq. up.  Lightly obscured for enemies; enemies who enter or start their turn in the zone are subject to an attack:  +26 vs. Fort, 2d6+7 necrotic damage.</li> </ul>Resources used:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kalas: 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</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kylek: blackfrost serpent, blizzard</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Sarenax:  divine power</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Fury:</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Batin: Planar Shock, planestrider boots</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Uganon:  Thanatos Pall </li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=map]<img src="http://www.betahelix.net/pics/maps/deathsreach/gate3_02.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The walls are 15 feet high and 1 foot thick, as before.  The triangles denote difficult terrain.  [/sblock]</blockquote>
