Scorching Burst is a burst 1 effect. It hits the square you target and every square it touches, meaning it wouldn't hit the swarm if you placed it three squares above them. I don't think you can catch the swarm without getting yourself or Akhara, unless one of you moves.
As the vicious Drake stops moving, Bheazir takes note of his wound for the first time. "There must be another beast around here. One with a knife. Everyone beware!"

Again the creatures have dragged him to the ground. Akhara, furious, will stand (1), the grip on his tanning knife uncertain in the face of so many small creatures. He tosses it with a flourish, feeling foolish as the knife spins around his wrist into an attack position, and he takes a few steps back (2): this is a move that can dazzle sentients; it is almost a habit as he does this now. Momentarily he is free of them, and as an impulse he throws the knife at the seething mass before him (3), while he reaches for another knife (4).
(1) move action: stand.
(2) deft strike, moving two squares to K6
(3) to hit: 27 to hit (crit!) -- so max damage (1d4+3, though a 1 was rolled; don't know how this tallies vs. a swarm): here are the rolls. http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1673863/
(4) minor: draw another dagger
Galdr will fire it 1 square above (my bad...thinking diameter) if there's a way he can only hit the drakes. If not, he will ready the action to go when Akhara is out of the way.

Akhara stands, facing the teeth of the swarming drakes again as he does so (20 points of damage). Despite the pain, he manages to dazzle the creatures with his knife and step back. He throws the knife, and it slices through several of the creatures, but fails to disperse the mass (half damage from melee and ranged attacks).
"Corbin strike now! Lets finish this brute."
Bheazir yells as he lands a heavy blow against the remaining Drake, inspiring the Halfling warrior to strike a blow of his own. Corbin drives his dagger into the drake, and the reptile finally collapses.
Galdr takes advantage of the space Akhara yielded and blasts the swarm with fiery magic. Many of the small creatures are visibly charred by the flames (extra damage).
Warlocklord
With Akhara moving, you had plenty of space, centering it at J8 or K8 does the trick. On another note, could you note which defense your attacks target? It would save me some time. Thanks.
Jaden moves in front of Akhara, hoping to discourage the swarm from attacking the rogue further. He holds his weapon back, ready to attack if the opportunity presents itself.
Stopping to catch his breath, Corbin will spend moment to evaluate the scene and attempt to determine where he can best fit in.
Corbin
You detect no hidden threats from where you stand, although you recognize that something is attacking Galdr on the other side of the house.
The scorched swarm moves to attack Galdr, but is unable to drag the wizard to the ground.
The shadowy figure moves toward Galdr as well, and drives its dagger into the tiefling’s back (10 damage).
Akhara 7/25 +1 to all defenses Bloodied
Bheazir 20/32
Corbin 16/25 +1 to all defenses
Galdr 2/21 Bloodied
Jaden 6/29 Bloodied +8 temp +1 to all defenses

GD1 Dead

Fresh drakeblood still dripping from his sword, Bheazir spins around and charges into the swarm of Needlefang Drake's. "Step back Galdr, let me wrestle with these beasties."

Move to J9
(standard action)
Wolf-pack tactics against the Swarm, allowing Galdr to shift 1 sq. (would suggest Galdr shifts to K12):
No more healing coming from Bheazir.
As mentioned before, I would strongly suggest you use an action point (which heals 3 hitpts with Bheazir present) and finish the things quickly with an extra attack and/or use second wind.

Corbin can't really see what is happening on the other side of the house, so he decides that stealth is the better part of valor, so he will hurry to the edge of the house and as quickly and quietly as he can, move around to the far wall and try to remain hidden from whatever threats are there. He'll duck under the window (not a hard feat for him ) as he moves, just in case.
Akhara is grateful as he sees Galdr's form pass in front of him, offering a moment's respite.
[I'm going to wait to see what's hapened after the creatures move at init 13 before I decide my actions -- they may be my last! ]
Akhara is up first. I've been stopping with the creatures' actions and starting with Akhara's for most of the combat, so that you all can act based on what they did.

OOC: oops. My mistake.
Is the fence passable -- i.e. can Akhara cross it easily?
If it counts as two squares or something, Akhara will move to J3 and then cross to J2. That would leave him with a standard, and he'd be willing to throw another knife, aware that the swarm has some cover.
If it is a move or a standard action, then He will move to I3 and then use the move action to cross.
Trying to get out of harm's way, safely!
(Also, is it a picket fence? or is it solid (can the swarm pass through it)?)
