Lorik tries to move the gnome with a quick maneuver, but fails. He at least manages to get away from the pincer attack. Ikni, instead, nails the gnome with a thundering blow.
Heinrich finally manages to get rid of the red capped fey harassing him with a point-blank range crossbow bolt.
The dark fey manages to sneak up on Lorik again, attacking him in a pincer with the gnome. His long knife slips again through the scales of Lorik's armor, but cannot wound him thanks to Ikni's arcane shield.
The last redcap standing attacks Haruka from behind, and wounds her with a clean cut.

"Stay in this fight, Lorik, we need your sword." Galinndan moves in next to Ikni, to help dispatch the annoying gnome. "Rally on me," he cries as his sword makes a mighty swing through the air where the gnome used to be.

Good, the Eladrin has Lorik and Ikni in hand. Heinrich's fey is down...who am I forgetting? Oh. A few steps northward to get a clear view past the trees, a moment's pause for concentration, and Derien conjures more fire around one of Haruka's attackers.

Walk to E6, Sacred Flame Red Cap #4, hitting 5 versus Reflex. Nuts to that, Elven Accuracy and let's try that again: 15 versus Reflex. Much better. If that hits, Haruka gets a temporary hit point.
Tactics: Cause Fear
I haven't wanted to Cause any Fear this battle, what with all the nasty ranged attacks our enemies have been throwing around. However, if you melee guys surround the gnome next turn without killing it, I could Fear in hopes of watching you all AoO it into paste. Seem fair?

Derien burns to death the last red cap, and his power lightens a bit Haruka's wounds. Galinndan manages to shake up Lorik, but his sword cannot reach the agile gnome.
Haruka steps back and again uses the same spell on the gnome, but this time, the fey is faster than the flames and dodges right on time. Gord, that has been cowering in fear till now, retreats from the nearby battle.
The hidden gnome reminds the party of his presence again. A dart of his crossbow flies really near Galinndan's neck, but it causes only a small wound.As usual, the little bugger is way too fst in disappearing.

Lorik shakes his head, trying to stay focused despite the pain and loss of blood. Ugh. Need a bit of breathing room.
He takes a step to the north, his feet resting on the body of a fallen fey. Good. Now this gnome dies.
Lorik's eyes flash momentarily white as he taps into the power within him. His sword strikes true, and when he speaks, his voice is distant, with a slight echo. "Ikni! Skewer this little freak!"
Unless there is some sort of horrible accident, Ikni is killing the gnome this round. The dark fey is still marked, so it pretty much can't kill me. I suggest that Ikni take care of the gnome, then run to go help Haruka with the other gnome. Swordmages are good at the whole hit-and-run thing, right?

Slowly and quietly, Heinrich stalks forward, his confidence renewed by his success against the small fey. Carefully crouching slightly behind several trees, he draws a bead on one of the Gnomes. With a loud *kchunk* his crossbow discharges, sending a shaft unerringly at his target.

Looks like TwoHeads is right. Ata, it seems you forgot to update her hp the first time she was hit (and I didn't notice either). Haruka should be at -2 hp as of gnome 2's last turn. Sorry I missed that, guys, and thanks for your honesty, TwoHeads. Much appreciated
However, I believe both Galinndan and Derien go before her turn comes up again, so if either of them throws some healing her way she won't have to roll a death save. Remember that anyone can make a DC 15 heal check on her to let her use her second wind, as well.

Ikni follows Lorik's shift, remaining opposite the gnome. She swings, but her blow is only a shallow cut. She looks around, and seeing Haruka down, she chases after his attacker, pinning its leg to the ground with her sword.

Move: shift to I6 to flank gnome 3 with Lorik, if possible. I think that's M5?
Standard: Booming blade, hits AC 17 for 5 damage. *facepalm* I think that leaves it with 1 HP. Oh, well, it's all yours now Gallindan...
AP: charge gnome 2, using Foesnare and provoking an OA from gnome 3. Moving to either I10 or H9, depending on what Ata says is the closest square she can attack from. Hits AC 27 for 12 damage, and gnome 2 is immobilized til the end of Ikni's next turn.
Dark fey remains marked.

Haruka falls to the ground, losing consciousness from the blood loss and intense pain. Meanwhile, Lorik hits the gnome, and an aura of divine power surrounds the small fey, which seems to attract magically Ikni's sword to its target; despite managing to avoid a blow to a vital spot, the gnome has suffered one too many wounds, and drops dead. Ikni moves immediately to help Haruka and nails the other gnome in its place. The fey disappears from everyone sight, but Heinrich manages to hide from him and shoots a crossbow dart right at the base of his neck, just aiming at where the creature was an instant before. The gnome dies without even knowing what hit him.
The dark fey shouts something:
Elven
We must take their lives! If the go back like this our Lord will give us to his pets as breakfast!!
He then moves around Lorik so fast that the warrior is not sure from what direction the knife is coming, but he is lucky, and he moves the shield in such a way that the blow is deflected.

Haruka is indeed unconscious. Sorry for the distractions guys. Lorik and Ikni both hit gnome 3, which actually falls thanks to Lorik's group assult feat. Heinrich, you need a minor action to make a perception check, so no predatory eye this turn. Heinrich kills the gnome anyway.The dark fey misses Lorik.

"If I keep swinging like this, I'll be dicing with Lauto before the dawn." Galinndan curses to himself before calling out to Lorik, "strike him now, Lorik, before he has time to recover."

Derien winces as he watches Haruka fall, but it's fixable. "We give to the sea; the sea gives back. Be well!"
As he's glancing around, looking for the remaining hidden gnome, Derien's attention is caught by the dark fey's Elven speech. He answers in the same tongue: "You want an iron ring, right? SO DO WE! You can't beat us, so save your lives and HELP us!" With this, Derien turns all his borrowed power on the dark fey, enveloping it in a torrent of terrible light.
Keep the dark fey alive?
I really want to question it. It'd be useful to know how the ring was lost in the first place, who it belongs to (well, the fey lord, duh, but who's he?), why it's so important, why they tried to kill us but not Gord...there's a lot of stuff I want to know. Recall that in 4e you can choose to let your attacks inflict non-lethal damage, that renders targets unconscious but does not kill them, at no penalty.

If the dark fey is still standing, action point standard action: Lance of Faith on the dark fey, again inflicting non-lethal damage, 17 versus Reflex, 8 damage, plus 5 more damage for vulnerability. If it's still up and mobile, Lorik gets a +2 power bonus on his next attack against it.

Reason: Forgot to make Derien's rant at the dark fey blue. Then removed untruths.
Haruka staggers back to her feat, whispering dryly as she does so. She notices that Derien did not strike to kill, and defers to his wishes. Her fingers splay out, and the coiling tattoos running down her arm appear to tear themselves off her skin and snake out towards her foe.

Derien's power wakes up Haruka and its radiance scorches badly the dark fey. Galinndan's words encourage Lorik, and at his direction, the warrior swings his sword at the dark fey, but misses.
Haruka strikes the dark fey with a spell that robs him of his life force while the enchatress absorbs it. The fey, spent, drops to the ground senseless.
A dart comes out of the trees and hits the unconscious dark fey in the chest. A dying breath comes out of the fey's mouth and a pith-black mist pours out of his wounds, enveloping an blinding Lorik.

You all seem to be forgetting something; Lorik has Group Assault, a feat from Martial Power which gives allies a +1 bonus to damage against targets that I mark. I marked Gnome 3 via attacking it, which means that Ikni did 6 damage rather than 5, meaning that it died, meaning that everything after that point should be retconned.
If the gnome has as much HP as I think it does.
