Batin stubbornly fails to die from TP.  He stands and swaps places with Kylek; I'm assuming Oni is ok with this since he hasn't complained.  (Besides, it's a brilliant move.)  Athletics to grab on is perfectly fine; Batin succeeds.  Sarenax goes up to +37 HP, stands, and picks up his scythe.  I'm willing to allow climbing with one hand at a -2 penalty, which means you exactly make the necessary DC and climb 15' up.  You're level with Batin; effectively adjacent with him now.  Regarding the dead naga's mark:  I kept it on by analogy with a swordmage's mark, which I seem to remember reading recently that it stays on when the swordmage gets knocked unconscious.  I'm not tied to this interpretation; if anyone can convince me otherwise (in the OOC thread, please) I'd be willing to reconsider.  Uganon curses BKT (minor), sustains TP (minor), and double-attacks BKT with his dagger.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2385280/" target="_blank">35 and 34 vs. AC both miss</a>.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2385284/" target="_blank">Still immobilized</a>.The prowler attacks Kalas, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2385285/" target="_blank">30 vs. AC misses</a>.  Well, that wasn't much of a round for the bad guys!  Let's finish this fight off.[/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 94/143 Surges 12/12, +4 to damage rolls, crit on 19-20, crits blind, cursed by UganonMassacre HP 102/102, surges 4/7, 6 squares upBatin HP 2/165 Surges 5/10, cursed by Uganon, bloodiedUganon 264 damage, bloodied, immobilized (se, -5, lowest of 2), marked by Batin, chilling cloud<s>Naga 1 dead</s><s>Naga 2 dead</s><s>Naga 3 dead</s><s>Prowler 1 dead</s><s>Prowler 2 dead</s>Prowler 3 211 damage, bloodied, marked by Kalas w/LDSarenax HP 37/142 Surges 5/9, 1 failed death saveKylek HP 124/124 +6 temp Surges 12/14, +8 ACKalas HP 88/197 Surges 9/11, cursed, regen 5, bloodiedMounts: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> </ul>Resources used:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kalas: Red death, blood oath fulfilled, coif of focus, trollskin armor, 2 daily magic item power.
