Round 1
Mikara quickly fires an arrow that lodges right between the shoulder joint in the human's plate armor, then skips nimbly into an alley next to a large house.
Atreus gazes intently at the elf, noting the weak spots in her armor. He wraps the night around him like an old, comfortable cloak, and disappears, running silently behind the large house as well, passing Mikara.
Woe leaps forward, barely clearing Hacker's head, and, tossing his torch to the ground, strikes a confident pose, ready to charge anything that approaches.
Tristan shrugs and begins to circle the houses as well, but runs into a surprise; a squat, brutish looking hobgoblin waiting just around the corner with a drawn shortsword. "Well, hello there," he greets the newcomer cheerfully, then attempts to lop of his head with his oversized sword. The stroke is awkward and easily avoided.
Kathalia waxes pathetic, but her passion is backed by magic, and the illusory heart bursts with a wash of flame, engulfing the three armored foes in the street. She shifts into beast form.
The dwarf is the first of the enemies to respond, moving forward while chanting angry syllables. He clenches his fist, striking it into his opposite palm, and a blast of sulfurous flames erupts directly over Woe's head, knocking him to the floor. Hacker is caught in the blast as well and send tumbling down, though Woe's body shield's Kathalia from the worst of it. He easily douses the flames from Kathalia's broken heart.
The elf sings a bell-like note. Immediately some of the human's wounds close slightly, and Kathalia's flames die out from his clothing. The elf smiles, then draws her crossbow and fires, missing Kathalia by inches.
The human, no longer burning, bellows a war cry, and, with a flourish of his halberd, charges forward and strikes Kathalia. She ducks beneath the flashing blade, but not quickly enough; it leaves a wide gash on her back. The elven woman nearly swoons in admiration at the human's dashing charge, and she gamely tries to ignore the pain of her burns.
Behind the houses, Tristan's opponent returns the favor, missing him with a hasty cut. The twisted hobgoblin shuffles away, on guard.
Mikara feels two spikes of agony, as two slender arrows slam into her body from almost directly above. Looking up, she sees the outline of a gnome with a shortbow perched on the ridgepole of the large house she is sheltered behind. The gnome points, stabbing a finger towards her and towards Atreus. "Two of 'em here, the chick wit' da bow, and a guy wit' a knife. He's hard t'see, watch yer backs!" its ugly voice rings out clearly. Then it crouches and steps away from the edge, behind the ridgepole and out of sight.
[sblock=ooc]Mikara hits for 27 damage, and shifts to J10. I don't see a stealth check being possible, since her movement is not part of a move action, but a side effect of her attack. At any rate... ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Atreus shrouds the elf, disappears, and moves behind the house. Despite the -5 stealth penalty for moving more than 2 squares on his stealthy move action, he is hidden from all enemies... that he knows about.
Woe moves forward, drops his torch (the yellow bit on the map shows where it illuminates with bright light) and readies a knockdown charge.
Tristan misses.
Kathalia moves, hits all three with Fires of Life, and wild shapes.
The dwarf takes 5 fire damage, and uses Brimstone Hail, burst 2 centered on N14. Targets reflex, hits Woe and Hacker, misses Kathalia. Woe and Hacker take 11 fire damage and are knocked prone. It saves vs. ongoing fire.
The elf takes 5 ong. fire. She uses Emergency Healing on the human, who regains 5 HP and can make a saving throw: success. She whips out her hand crossbow and fires at Kathalia, 15 vs. AC misses. She saves vs the ong fire.
The human uses Inspire Zeal; elf gains 10 temp HP. He charges to N11 and attacks Kathalia (reach 2), 31 vs. AC hits for 9 damage, and Kathalia is marked (tent Human). Woe's readied charge doesn't fire, since he's prone.
The hobgoblin attacks Tristan wiht Shadow Strike, 15 vs. AC misses. It shifts W to H14.
The goblin, previously unseen on the roof of a house, shoots Mikara twice with Rapid Shot. 27 vs. AC hits for 10 damage, and 31 vs. AC hits for 7 damage. Mikara is bloodied. It calls a warning, then backs away from the edge of the roof and stealths, pretty badly.

The roof of the house is 15 feet high, sloping to 20' at the ridge. Athletics DC 20 to climb up to the roof, and standing on the roof is difficult terrain. For the sake of simplicity, use the same numbers if you feel like climbing on other houses.
Everyone is up.

[sblock=death penalty]Well, this situation isn't terribly clear... But this isn't the time or place to argue about it. I won't worry about the death penalty here, and I'll start another thread to talk about status effects across adventures if I have energy left. [/sblock]

[sblock=map]
Squares within 5 of Woe's torch are brightly lit. Everywhere else is dimly lit, and is treated as lightly obscured unless you have low light vision. Lightly obscured means all enemies have concealment, if there's 5 or more lightly obscured squares between you and the enemy, they have total concealment (though you'll still know where they are unless they make a stealth check).
