Apologies everybody, I was in the land of no-internet for a day or so because of connection issues. Back in action!
Rothel's Awesome Powers have made Anri's HP rise to 83! Not bloodied anymore.
2d10 ⇒ (9, 6) = 15
Ow. Pain. Down to 68. Still not bloodied anymore.
Save vs. Daze: 1d20 ⇒ 7
No dice. Still dazed.
Anri lurches a bit, but still manages to strike at Moggy at a distance, the range of her acrobatic strikes turned incredibly long with her deadly Steel Wind technique!
Steel Wind: (Dex vs. Reflex) (Close Blast 2) (Enemies Only)
1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 2 = 28
Call it a guess that this attack is a miss.

Rev DM |

Anri leaps and bounces off the wraith's self-pity and delusion.
Welcome back :)
While unbloodied, Moghadam has an aura two. Any enemy that starts its turn in the aura takes 2d10 psychic and is dazed to the start of its next turn.

It's an Aura 2, it is on the map looking as a 1. Also, doesn't he have a darkness zone 5, when does it end, start of next, end of next, EoE? Rothel's light ability will end at the end of this turn of mine.
Regardless, I keep forgetting that I was imagining the whole damage negated/effect negated thing. I don't know where I got the idea, but I can never seem to find it any more, so I'm thinking I misread something and keep clinging to it.
Rothel moves back and away from the enemy, to a space just behind Norrin, hoping to stay away from the threat while staying close enough to all to lend aid if he can. Sadly, as soon as he arrives, his spiritual light dies out.
Move to G12 ?? I can't see the numbers on the map for some reason.

Rev DM |

Rothel gets himself out of harms way and prepares to bolster his friends.
Think the map should be clearer now. Re Mogg's darkness, it's a power he can activate as a minor. He didn't do it last turn - no point with Rothel pointing the spiritual equivalent of a spotlight at him.

Lisbarr Gorrowsel |

Lisbarr decides to (try once more to) make his mark on the occasion. He gives the wraith a stern look and tells him just what he thinks of his antics.
"It is really very rude indeed to ask people to die for your own petty schemes. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Rebuke undead vs M vs Will
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
If that hits, deals 4d10 + 13 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5, 8, 5) + 13 + (3) + 10 = 49 Radiant damage (includes vulnerability and extra 1d6 damage) and Moghadam is pushed two squares (as shown on map). He is also dazed to the end of Lisbarr's next turn.
(I hope I have moved everything correctly...)
"See?"

Rev DM |

Lisbarr's tone pierces even Moghadam's mountainous depression and the wraith reels backwards.
"But death is such a small price to pay for immortality," he pleads.

Lyan gets his breath and attacks with interesting results. Moghadam's aura flickers and dies away, reducing the impact of his doleful personality.

"Not my spouse. My creation. Ruinblade the tool of my revenge. Now it too betrays me."
Moghadam hunches miserably in his corner, seemingly disinclined to do much to defend himself. He swings Ruinblade twice at Lyan and seems encouraged when the sword makes some effort on his behalf.

"Worthy?! HAH! Compared to the sublime craft of my Kung Fu, you're worth nothing!"
Anri's sidestep, empowered by her Five Storms technique, slides her to the other side of Moghadam. Once more, she attempts to crush him with her Dragon's Tail technique!
1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Apparently, her Kung Fu no good here.
This is about the point in which, if we were playing at a table, I'd retire my current D20, and declare that it had failed me for the last time.

Reminders:
For every surge spent, everyone else gets 1 HP
+5 damage to bloodied foes while adjacent to Rahz-Ahk
Rothel slips a little closer than he would rather be, but uses the time to draw Rahz-Ahk to his allies. He uses more of the residual spiritual energies to revitalize both Lyan and Akemi. With the overflow of energies, he sends it as a wave at Moghadam, but it doesn't quite make it. It still gives enough to Lyan to allow him to try and shake off the negative effect hanging over him.

Moghadam clearly does not appreciate Akemi's attentions and whimpers slightly. Ruinblade makes a disapproving noise.

Lisbarr fixes the sword with a disparaging gaze. "No wonder you don't have any friends if you are always moaning. I don't think I want to help you. Sorry and all that."
Then he moves closer to the wraith to try to deal further damage.

Norrin Axebeard |

Norrin draws his sunblade with a dramatic flourish (Fast Hands), and closes in on Moghadam. Move to F7.
"Now pretend I'm playing you," says the rogue while pointing first to himself, then to the wraith.
"What's my motivation? What has Acererak done that's got me so angry that I'm recruiting heavily armed strangers to destroy my old boss?"
Norrin strikes using a combination of blade and point-blank crossbow shots…

Bloody hell. I make that 148 radiant by the time all the vulnerabilities and extras from Temple of Light are added in. Can I just say I'm sorry for Moghadam?
@Norrin - are the blind and slow save ends or to end your next turn?
Momentarily distracted by Norrin's moment of seeming empathy, Moghadam is utterly surprised by the devastating attack that follows. Blinded, slowed and severely wounded, the wraith calls on his inner resources and does his best to take as many of the party down with him as he can.

For this fight, Temple of Light is great because it ensures radiant exploitation! Also, Akemi has used her AP and is not bloodied currently.

AnriTheWanderer |

All of the damage and HP healed evens out to a current total of 84...and I finally don't have to keep track of that Temp HP anymore! But she only has one healing surge left.
With Moghadam stuck between Akemi and Anri, it seems like time to kick things up a notch, Anri reasons.
She says, "You know, I always save this one for special occasions."
And she darts forward, her fingers striking out like snakes at Moghadam's forehead.
Twilight Touch: (Dex vs. Reflex) (If success, target is blinded until the end of Anri's next turn. If failure, he still takes half damage.) (Do I NEED to blind him when he's already blinded? Yes. Because I want it to last just a little bit longer...until after Anri's next turn anyway.)
1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 20 + 2 = 39
It's about time!
Anri's fingers strike true, disrupting the flow of Moggy's energy, blinding him for longer than before!
3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) + 10 = 22
And here's the additional radiant damage + 10 from his Radiant Vulnerability.
1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Centered Flurry of blows automatically hits as well, adding +7 damage to her total. She slides Moggy up against the wall. That's 42 total: life, the universe, and everything baby!
Anri breathes out softly at the end of this, her feet shifting slightly.
"I am at peace, Moggy. And my peace is your end."
Stance of the Still Sword: (Minor Action) Until the stance ends, enemies take a -2 penalty to attack rolls against Anri.
And now, Anri's saves and her ongoing damage.
-20 HP!
1d20 ⇒ 14
Ongoing damage ends.
1d20 ⇒ 1
Well, the vulnerability's going to stick around a little longer.
Seeing as Anri has nowhere to move right now, I guess she's not going to use her move action.

Rothel Nelis |

Rothel takes a step back, away from Moghadam, as Rahz-Ahk moves to the space just above Lyan. "I regret to inform, that the limitations on my healing capabilites has reached a distinct state of decline from this point forward. We are best served by the intent of removing the threat as it stands with as much haste as we can muster." Rahz-Ahk feeds some of his rage into Akemi, ready to redirect the flow to Norrin if the former reacts well to his offering.
Rothel is unable to shake the effect placed on him, secure in the fact that his own protections against mental attacks will help him soak some of the damage.
I can't mod the map at work, or for some reason see the row of numbers.
Move, RA to 5' above Lyan, Rothel back 1 sq.
Standard, Sly Fox Spirit, Akemi gets a basic attack as a Free action. If it hits Norrin gets a basic attack as a free action, and don't forget the bonus damage for being adjacent to Rahz-Ahk.

So whomever is next possessed by the Ruinblade will be level 17?
Also, do you want us to roll out the saves and accruing damage? Glad to, but I'm advocating hard for an extended rest after this fight -- this is the same day as the duplicating trap, and something else in between, I believe.
