Whiteclaw - you haven't used any daily powers yet and you've got 9 surges left. Oh - and there's a dice roller on the boards. Check out the bb coding.
The misty forms of the poltergeists float happily upwards and P1 extends a beckoning finger at Whiteclaw and flys backwards into the Library, pulling Whiteclaw with it before slamming her into a bookcase.
"You don't look like much of a reader. I'm going to bounce books on your head," it giggles.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 282d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 2) + 10 = 16Kinetic Claw (Fort). On hit target is slid 5 squares and is restrained. 16hp damage to Whiteclaw and she is restrained (save ends).
P2 tries the same trick with Vel. "You look fun. What tricks do you do?"
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 262d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19Kinetic Claw (Fort). On hit target is slid 5 squares and is restrained. 19hp damage to Vel and she is restrained (save ends).
P3 tugs eagerly at Kia. "We're going to have such a good time. You're not - just us." The voice rises to a whining scream as the attack fails. "Nasty eladrin thing. I don't like you."
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 132d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3) + 10 = 18Kinetic Claw (Fort). On hit target is slid 5 squares and is restrained.

Please check your email (and the discussion thread). Whiteclaw the original has returned to us. You are most welcome to join us if you wish (and I have an idea). I've got classes for most of today, but I'm back this evening (UK time) and perhaps we can discuss?
From the depths of the bookcases, the rustling grows slightly louder and for a fleeting instant, a wispy figure appears beside Whiteclaw gazing at her with luminous, hungry eyes.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 - Ghostly possession v Will. On hit target is dominated (se).
Vel has a glimpse of a similar figure wafting towards her as well before the figure takes advantage of her restrained state and sinks into her body.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20 - Ghostly possession v Will. On hit target is dominated (se).

OK. OA from T1 v Whiteclaw (Fort) 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 292d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 33hp necrotic damage to Whiteclaw
Whiteclaw pounds down the room, frost axe held high, but the poltergeist just giggles again and shifts. "Go away," it titters. An insubstantial foot reaches out and pushes the gnoll away with surprising force, knocking her prone.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12Immediate interrupt (v Ref) when target moves adjacent. Poltergeist shifts one as a free action and attacks. On hit, target is pushed 3 squares and knocked prone. 12hp necrotic damage to Whiteclaw (15hp necrotic total) and she is knocked prone.

Feeling something unpleasant tugging at his mind, the deva eases his way up the room and sends a shaft of welcome sunlight into the trap haunt.
Note that you had no line of sight on T1 from your stated position. I moved Seraphiel to the nearest place where he can get attack T1, but let me know if you're unhappy with that.

Arianwyn struts through the Library and outlines the nearest trap haunt in eldritch fire. The creature burbles as the attack hits and the figure at the table rises in outrage, gesturing furiously at the bookcase. It is clear that the use of fire has upset the previously indifferent being and he now prepares to enter combat.

Gobi hurls himself towards the poltergeist, passing Vel who doesn't seem to be in control of herself at all.
His blow lands true and the poltergeist screams.
"Nasty, nasty little dwarf. Stop hurting me! That's not fair! I'm telling on you. I've got a brother."
Undeath has made the poltergeists childish in some respects.

Kia moves to N5, the better to supervise things on that side of the room. Spying Gobi in a convenient position, she encourages him to hit out against the poltergeist.
"While your're there, Gobi, if you wouldn't mind..."
(Taking Gobi's, last post as his basic attack:)
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Ooh! another crit! I like the dice roller. I actually got the damage wrong as well, it should have been 1d10+11 with Kia's bonus. so actual damage is:
Kia's guidance gives Gobi all the encouragement he needs and another mighty blow strikes home. The poltergeist squeals as ectoplasm starts to ooze from her spectral form. Then she giggles again.
"Loooook behind you ... He's hurting me," she wails accusingly at the wraith who appears from the bookcases and glares at the dwarf with savage glee.
"Hurting my little sister means you get to deal with me. Not so much fun now, is it?"

The wraith lounges comfortably against the bookcase, awaiting developments.
His poltergeist sister stamps a misty foot. "Stop talking to him! He's killing me!"
"Stop whining," the wraith looks slightly resignedly at Gobi. "Undeath doesn't suit her. She was nicer when she was alive. So was I."

Reason's attempt to help Vel puts him directly in her line of fire. Glassy-eyed, the mage swivels towards him and raises her hand ...
Spoiler:
The trap haunt instructs you to assault Reason with his own inner fears. Illusory Ambush v Reason if you please.

Important edit. Please note that P2 has recharged its Kinetic Claw power.
Reason's howl of anguish helps bring Vel to her senses. The trap haunt reappears abruptly beside her and flinches a little at the expression on her face as she breaks free of both restraint and domination.
The Monster with glasses moves silently and serenely down the room and makes a small gesture towards the whining, bloodied poltergeist, teleporting both itself and her to better tactical positions.
Two move actions. Normal move and then rechargeable power allowing it to teleport itself and up to two allies up to four squares). Note that Monster with glasses has an aura 1. Enemies within the aura grant CA.
The wraith claws at Gobi, with a slightly apologetic expression on his face, as far as the paladin can see.
"Yes, I've changed. I used to be the studious type. Now, I just have this overwhelming desire to claw things to bits. Sad really."
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 261d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Claw (Ref). On hit target takes -2 penalty to attack rolls to end Wraith's next turn. 6hp necrotic damage to Gobi.
P1 bounces happily at the prospect of wrecking further mayhem and clenches a fist at Arianwyn before blowing gently at the warlock. A gust of air hurtles through the book stacks, increasing in speed as it heads towards him, and forcing him backwards. The poltergeist follows gleefully, phasing in and out of the shelves.
"Now I'm pushing you around."
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 251d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 - Hurl away (Ref). On hit target is pushed 3 squares. 13hp necrotic damage to Arianwyn
P2 smiles adorably at Gobi. "You wouldn't hurt a little girl, would you?" she asks before sending another gust of wind hard towards the paladin.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 261d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 - Hurl away (Ref). On hit target is pushed 3 squares. 12hp necrotic damage to Gobi. Total damage 18hp necrotic. Pushed into Vel.
P3 darts through the wooden stacks and tries, against all likelihood, to shove Whiteclaw further back as well. Spectral hands clap joyfully as the gnoll slides away, flat on her stomach, arriving at Arianwyn's feet.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 - Hurl away (Ref). On hit target is pushed 3 squares. 13hp damage to Whiteclaw.

The trap haunt ranges alongside Whiteclaw and gleefully strokes her ears, but does no damage.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 v Fort. Miss.
T2 runs a less than friendly hand through Vel's hair before phasing through the bookcase.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 v Fort. On hit 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13 necrotic damage. 13 necrotic damage to Vel.

Slightly surprised at the sudden appearance of the bespectacled foe at her side, Kia decides this could be the main threat and attempts to take decisive action against it. Shifting to M5 she leads an attack against it:
Lead the Attack (daily)If that hits, the damage is 22 and Gobi, Vel, Arianwyn and Reason (and Urho?) each get +4 to all attacks against MG until the end of the encounter. If it misses, it does 11 damage and the aforementioned personages only get +1 to all attack rolls agianst MG to the end of the encounter.

Vel nods at Gobi, then glances around for Reason. Not seeing the tiefling, she focuses on the task at hand. Stepping out of the monster's aura, Vel smiles softly and bursts into flame, reaching out to the monster in glasses, the wraith, and the haunt that had so recently possessed her. Even as the flames die away, scarlet lines in her armor flare.
Shift to M8. Activate Bloodcut Armor -- resist 10 all TEOMNT. Fire Shroud vs MG Fort 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15, W 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27, T2 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30, on hit 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Fire, ongoing 5 fire (se)
Crit on trap haunt, total damage 15 + 2d6 ⇒ 15 + (4, 3) = 22 plus ongoing 5. She's baaaack.
Flames leap around Vel, outlining the haunts in brightness, but doing somewhat less damage than the mage had hoped.
Fire retardant. Fire does -2 per die to damage and ongoing effects get a +2 to saves. Also applied to Arianwyn's earlier Witchfire but I was dozy and failed to mention it.
1d6 ⇒ 1 - recharge Quantum Tunnelling. No.
Shifting reproachfully behind Kia, the Monster in glasses sends waves of blissful slumber rolling towards Seraphiel, Whiteclaw and Reason.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 - Will v Seraphiel
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 - Will v Whiteclaw
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 - Will v Reason
Hits Seraphiel and Reason, who are now slowed (se). On their first failed save they become unconscious (se).
Kia gets an OA: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 which hits, doing 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 damage to MG.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 - save v ongoing fire damage. Saved.

The wraith moves towards Gobi, risking an attack from Vel to do so.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 - Ref. On hit target takes 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 necrotic and is pushed 3 squares. 12 necrotic damage to Arianwyn.
"I like pushing you around. You think you're so clever."
P2 claps happily as the wraith attacks Gobi and points a misty finger at Kia.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 - Fort (-2 for cover from Vel, +2 CA from aura). On hit target takes 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 = 14 necrotic damage, is pushed 5 squares and restrained. 10hp necrotic damage to Kia and she is restrained (se)
"You're so good at moving people around. How do you like it?"
P3 edges closer for a moment and points at Seraphiel ...
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 - Fort. On hit target takes 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15 necrotic, is slid 5 squares and restrained (se). 15hp necrotic damage to Seraphiel and he is restrained (se).

It doesn't say anything about a fire resistance, although that is implied. I'm not sure to be honest - clearly the mechanical purpose of the effect is not to completely scupper fire powers, while still somewhat penalising them. Let me think on it, if you don't mind, and do some rules checking.
The wording is this:
"The Library is enchanted to protect its contents from fire. Fire attacks deal -2 damage per die, and creatures gain a +2 bonus to saving throws against ongoing fire damage."
