Kylek is hit by Thanatos Pall and resists 15, taking 3.  He activates Draconic Majesty.  Rimestorm crits p1 for 73 damage, and hits both other prowlers for 47 damage.  They're all knocked prone, take -2 to fort (tent Kylek), and 5 cold vuln (tent Kylek).  P1 and p2 are bloodied.  Sarenax slides to V12.  AP for Adamantine Echo hits all targets for 34+5 cold damage and 5 ongoing cold (se).  p1 and naga 1 are bloodied and take an extra 3.   That kills naga 1.  Kylek gains +8 AC for the encounter.  Kylek's move provokes from p2 (n1 is dead):  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2327983/" target="_blank">nat 17 misses badly</a>.  Batin takes 10 ong p&n damage, and 13 necrotic from thanatos pall.  2nd wind gives him 41 back, and +2 defenses tsnt.  Omnipresent assault...  yikes, let's see if I can get this right.  Misses Uganon, but takes Batin 5 necrotic from Uganon's curse.  N1 is dead.  Crits n2 and p2, 27 hp and 20 ongoing (se).  p2 already has 20 ongoing damage from Sarenax's crit, though, and I don't think they stack.  Misses N3.  Hits P1 for 20.  Misses P3.  Batin saves vs. the ongoing damage and becomes dazed instead.  And I can't see him being marked by naga 1 any more, since it's dead. Kalas takes 10 p&n damage.  He teleports next to Uganon, marks him, and misses.  He takes 5 necrotic from the curse, but resists it all.  He chooses not to save against the ongoing damage.  Bha-Ka-Thet moves around the pit (not a pillar; no stealth possible, mask power not expended) and hits w/Dancing Cobra.  24 damage and 17 radiant.  Naga 3 is bloodied.  Massacre moves, and uses Prophecy of Doom on naga 2Uganon sustains TP (minor) and moves it NW (move); it's centered on U10 now.  Double attack with dagger, both against Kalas:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328012/" target="_blank">one hit</a> for 19 damage, plus <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328014/" target="_blank">20 necrotic</a> of which Kalas resists 15. Total 24 damage.  He fails (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328019/" target="_blank">9 and 3</a>) to save vs. immobilized.  He succeeds (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328020/" target="_blank">13, 13</a>) against helpless.Naga 2 takes 20 ongoing damage.  It bites at Kalas, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328021/" target="_blank">41 vs. AC hits for 16 </a>poison and necrotic, and various status effects that Kalas already has.  It <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328027/" target="_blank">fails</a> to save against the ong. damage. Naga 3 shifts W, out of Kylek's draconic majesty aura, and bites Bha-Ka-Thet:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328024/" target="_blank">42 vs. AC for 11</a> poison and necrotic damage, and 10 ongoing p&n (se, aftereffect dazed (se)) and BKT is marked.  Prowler 1 takes 20 ongoing damage, and 5+5 ongoing cold damage, and dies.  Prowler 2 takes 20 ongoing.  It stands and attacks Sarenax, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328031/" target="_blank">31 vs. AC</a> misses, and <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328032/" target="_blank">makes</a> its save for ongoing damage. Prowler 3 teleports east of Sarenax, and bites (without standing), <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328033/" target="_blank">26  vs. AC</a> misses.  [/sblock][sblock=status and initiative]Everyone except Fury has +1 to skill checks, saves, and ability checks until they leave Zvomarana.Bha-Ka-Thet HP 132/143 Surges 12/12, 10 ong p&n damage (se), marked by naga 3Massacre HP 102/102, surges 4/7, 2 squares upBatin HP 84/165 Surges 8/10, cursed by Uganon, dazed (se), immobilized (se), +2 defenses tsnt, insubstantial (tent)Uganon 8 damage, immobilized (se, -5, lowest of 2), marked by Kalas<s>Naga 1 dead</s>Naga 2 70 damage, 20 ongoing damage (se) marked by Kalas w/LD, next hit can be made a crit (tent Massacre)Naga 3 117 damage, bloodied <s>Prowler 1 dead</s>Prowler 2 157 damage, -2 to defenses (tent Sarenax), -2 to fort (tent Kylek), 5 cold vuln (tent Kylek), bloodiedProwler 3 47 damage, prone, -2 to fort (tent Kylek), 5 cold vuln (tent Kylek)Sarenax HP 75/142 Surges 7/9, prone, standing provokes from adjacent prowlers, marked by naga 1 (se)  <== You're upKylek HP 124/124 +5 temp Surges 12/14, +8 AC, Draconic Majesty (tent)Kalas HP 119/197 Surges 9/11, cursed, 10 ong. p&n damage (se), marked by naga 2Mounts:Lucifa  HP 80/106 surges 0/1Gilthanas HP 112/138 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">Thanatos Pall (tent Uganon, sustain minor):  burst 5 on U10 5 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> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Draconic Majesty (tent Kylek):  burst 3 on Kylek, difficult terrain for enemies, and they take -8 to attacks in the burst.</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.
