In spite of the gargoyle's best efforts to keep Fays down, his battle chant makes the big, scary dragon disappear with a loud pop. Yagi puts extra effort into his swing and nails the gargoyle, turning it into rubble. A little reassurance laced with magic is given to Rock and reinvigorates him, pulling him out and away from the fray. He finally shakes off his shaking from the lightning strike, but he's still in very bad shape.
"You think you're so clever," Wiseman drones, his position on the ground making him look far less intimidating. "So full of hope. So sure of victory." The lich's back glows as a a circle of glowing daggers materializes behind him, floating in a spinning motion. He takes one of them and hurls it at Yagi's concealed face, the dagger phasing through the helmet and disappearing. To his credit, Yagi puts up a strong fight, but soon his body stands limp, and he raises his weapon at his allies. Unhindered, Wiseman places a curse on Lia, then disappears in a puff of noxious black smoke that harms all those nearby. Yagi is in bad shape, and Wiseman seems stronger for it, but his grip on the knight's psyche is still firm. And then... He waits.
The Stormwarden moves away without fear, the sound of echoing thunder trailing behind its footsteps. It cleaves into Rock and retreats, taking up a fighting stance as its blades whirl about it. Walala has no defense against the oncoming storm and is slashed across the chest.
"Now, brief mortals," Wiseman's voice suddenly booms, the air crackling with eldritch energy. "Feel the wrath of a thousand angry stars upon you, for this is where hope dies!" The space around Lia twists and distorts as an invisible force suddenly pulls her to the ground, her body feeling so much heavier that the weight threatens to crush her. A black vortex forms beneath her, pinning her down as it threatens to swallow her whole. Her curse is lifted, but she is left battered and bruised, and Wiseman draws upon her anguish for even more power.
"You may have banished the shade dragon for now, but you're only delaying the inevitable," he drawls, "Your bodies grow weak and frail as this battle drags on. It'll be so easy to break them open and devour the spirit within." And with that, Wiseman begins to laugh. A slow, snide, sinister laugh.
Fays shifts to C-10, taking 4 damage from the Obsidian Gargoyle's Cruel Claws, bloodying him
Fays provokes an opportunity attack from the Obsidian Gargoyle, but Yagi's Battle Guardian hits it (after using Heroic Effort), breaking it
Fays misses Shade Dragon with Timeless Trek in Mithrendain, and the dragon is banished to the Feywild (save ends)
Fays heals Rock with Majestic Word for 25 hit points and slides him to D,6
Fays succeeds on his saving throw against ongoing lightning damage
Wiseman uses Dagger of the Mind against Yagi and just barely lands a hit for 13 psychic damage plus 1 psychic and necrotic damage and Yagi is dominated until the end of Wiseman's next turn
Wiseman places Damning Hex on Lia
Wiseman uses Eldritch Shift and teleports to B,10, and all creatures adjacent to him at the start of the teleport take 5 necrotic damage (Ironstone Gargoyle and Stormwarden take an additional 5 damage, and Yagi is now bloodied and no longer subjected to Damning Hex)
Wiseman spends an action point to ready an action
Stormwarden moves to D,7 and attacks Rock with Vengeful Riposte for 10 damage plus 5 thunder damage from its Gathering Storm trait for moving at least 3 squares away, and shifts to F,8. If Rock moves adjacent to the Stormwarden before the start of its next turn, it can repeat the attack as an immediate reaction
Stormwarden's Blade Frenzy deals 5 thunder and lightning damage to Walala
Wiseman uses his readied action to cast Gravity Well, creating a zone in an area burst 1 centered on K,8. Lia is hit for 23 force damage plus 1 psychic and necrotic damage, falls prone, is restrained (save ends), and is bloodied but no longer subjected to Damning Hex

Notes
-You can’t go past the walls surrounding you, but you can end your position in a square not completely obscured (in this instance you’d have your back to the wall).
-A creature subjected to Damning Hex takes an additional 1d6 psychic and necrotic damage when hit by Wiseman’s attacks each turn. If Wiseman has concealment against such a creature, they grant combat advantage to him. When bloodied or reduced to 0 hit points, they are no longer subjected to this effect, and Wiseman gains a cumulative +1 to damage rolls until the end of the encounter.
-Stormwarden’s Blade Frenzy deals 5 lightning damage to two adjacent creatures of its choosing when it ends its turn, as long as it is capable of taking opportunity actions.
-Stormwarden’s Retaliate allows it to make a basic attack as a free action when one of its allies within 3 squares is bloodied or reduced to 0 hit points
-When an enemy leaves a square adjacent to an Obsidian Gargoyle, it takes 4 damage
-A creature that is Dominated can’t take actions voluntarily. The one who dominated them chooses an action for the creature to take on the creature’s turn. They can only make the creature use powers and abilities that can be used at will. In addition, the creature grants combat advantage, cannot flank, and cannot be forced into hindering terrain without receiving a saving throw to resist the effect.
-A creature that ends its turn or movement in the Gravity Well is restrained (save ends) and takes 10 force damage (this can only happen once per round)
