Magnus concentrates hard, and thrusts the undead drake away in a blast of thunder, and, holding his ball of fire in existence, moves it next to the drake and the huge-mawed creature.Vixo darts nimbly around the battle field, then lunges forward to strike a sharp blow to the wight's head, dazing it just long enough for him to slip behind it and plunge a broad blade into the base of its neck, cutting the current of necrotic power that kept the creature standing.  It falls with a squelching sound.  The doppelganger "girl" tries again to stab Morvannon, with less success than before.  The drake, rotten flesh burning from the flaming sphere's proximity, charges Vrrsk't, but its teeth bounce harmlessly from the paladin's heavy armor.  The animated corpse also takes damage from the fireball, but circles behind Magnus, and, ignoring the dwarf for the moment, conjures a black-clawed shadowy hand that shoves Grakk, sending the warrior tumbling into the ghastly pit.  He rolls to his feet, still enraged, but covered with sticky, corrupting fluid.  [sblock=ooc]Reactions:  Morvannon teleports to O24.  Grakk moves to N20, provoking two OAs from rotters:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471613/" target="_blank">one hits</a>, but Grakk resists the damage.  He hits the wight for 34 damage, bloodying it, and takes 1 himself from the bloodclaw weapon.  All attackers gain +4 to hit Grakk TSNTKamotz regens 2.  He gets hit by the pit again for 10 necrotic, and takes 5 ongoing necrotic.  I wonder if the order of events at the start of your turn is explicitly specified anywhere?  Taken in a different order, that could leave Kamotz unconscious in the pit.  That would be bad.  <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:" />  Anyway, for now we'll take it in the order listed above.  Second wind brings him to 8, and healing word brings him to 20 and not bloodied.  He <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471633/" target="_blank">saves</a> against the ongoing necrotic and slowed.  Vrrsk't stands, moves, challenges the grave drake, and spends an AP to  bull rush it.  He would have to charge the drake to do that, which gives a +1 to the bull rush attempt, but I can't check to see whether that's included or not, because none of your linked rolls appear to include a bull rush attempt.  I'll have to stick with missing.  Morvannon drops both rotters with scorching burst.  That provokes an OA from the "pretty girl", who turns out to be a doppelganger!  Sadly, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471645/" target="_blank">17 vs. AC</a> just misses due to concealment.  I'm going to assume you curse the doppelganger instead of the wight, since it's closer and you can't legally curse the wight.  You've got a move action left, too, which you might want to use.  Go ahead and take it retroactively if you want; I'll adjust if needed.  Vixo hits with the wight with dazing strike and again with his AP, killing it.  Magnus hits the drake with thunderwave.  It takes 7 damage and is pushed to P7, and bloodied.  Magnus is no longer grabbed.  He sustains the flaming sphere and moves it to P8.  Maw takes <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471651/" target="_blank">7</a> fire damage from the sphere.  He moves south of Magnus, then uses Claw of Karalel on Grakk:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471652/" target="_blank">24 vs. Fort hits</a>, and Grakk slides three squares west into the pit.  He gets a save to fall prone instead:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471653/" target="_blank">fails</a>.  The pit attacks, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471655/" target="_blank">26 vs. Fort hits for 5 necrotic</a> and 5 ongoing necrotic and slowed (se both).  He'll be subject to another attack from the pit at the start of his turn as well.  Drake 1 takes <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471657/" target="_blank">8</a> fire from the sphere.  It charges Vrrsk't:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471665/" target="_blank">15 vs. AC</a> misses. The doppelganger moves adjacent to Morvannon if necessary.  Feint (minor):  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471667/" target="_blank">13 vs. Reflex</a> misses.  He attacks, <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2471668/" target="_blank">16 vs. AC hits for 5 damage</a>, unless Morvannon manages to get concealment. Slardazial regens 20 and continues the ritual.  [/sblock][sblock=status and initiative]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kamotz 20/31 hp, 7/9 surges, regen 2 while bloodied, +2 to damage rolls until unconscious, +2 def tsnt</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vrrsk't 22/35 hp +2 temp hp, 9/12 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vixo 29/38 hp, 7/9 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Morvannon 25/32 hp, 6/8 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Magnus 16/29 hp, 6/8 surges</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Grakk 15/44 hp, 9/12 surges, bloodhunt rage, bloodied, 5 ong necrotic and slowed (se both)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Wight dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Grave Drake 1 38 damage, bloodied,  DC from Vrrsk't</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Grave Drake 2 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Maw 12 damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Doppelganger unharmed, cursed</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 1 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 2 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 3 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 4 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 5 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 6 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 7 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> <s>Rotter 8 dead</s></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Slardazial +51 healed</li> </ul>Resources used: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Grakk:  AP, bloodhunt rage, Stone's Endurance, Avalanche Strike, Bloodclaw weapon</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Magnus:  AP, flaming sphere, Grasping Shadows, second wind</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Morvannon:  AP, Witchfire, scorching burst</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Kamotz:  AP, Beacon of Hope, channel divinity, healing word x1, second wind</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vixo: AP, Blinding Barrage, Duelist's dagger, Dazing strike</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Vrrsk't:  AP, Lay on hands x1</li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=Enemy stats]Slardazial HP ??, AC 18, Fort 22, Reflex 18, Will 20.  While the ritual is going:  resist 10 all, regen 20, and he can use the following power:Back Off, Bub:  immediate reaction, when an enemy moves into an adjacent square:  +8 vs. Fort, and the target is pushed 2 squares.  Pit of Unspeakable FilthWhen a creature enters or starts it turn in the filth, it makes an attack:  +7 vs Fort, 1d10 necrotic damage, and the target is slowed and takes 5 ongoing necrotic (save ends both)Zombie Rotter 1 HP, a missed attack never damages them.  AC 13, For 13, Ref 9, Will 10.  +6 vs. AC, 5 damageGrave Drake:  49 HP, AC 19, Fort 16, Ref 15, Will 14+9 vs. AC, 1d10+3 damage and the target is grabbedMaw:  44 HP, AC 17, For 14, Ref 15, Will 14+8 vs. AC, 1d8+2 damageChains:  15 HP each, AC 8, Fort 8, Ref 8, Will N/AChains have +12 to all defenses against ranged attacks from non-adjacent squares.  [/sblock][sblock=map and terrain notes]<img src="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/DauntonsDeadShadow/crypt04.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />The pit's surface is 5' below ground level.  Climbing out takes a DC 10 athletics check.[/sblock]</blockquote>
