You wish is my command, matron mother to be!
Fred is adjacent to Sheryl in I5, ghoul from F6 slid to H5. So if you have any burst 1 or better you can get them all three...
Unlucky for us, I missed with Cutting words otherwise there would be four creatures next to that ghoul in the corner

[SBLOCK=Martelai]Minor: Curse (The nearest ghoul (the one at F2, as shown in status) is alreday cursed. Moving to you and attacking needed two action and the uncursed ghoul was dazed last round and only shift toward Bell, while the cursed came to you. You might want to wait after your teleportation to curse the other ghoul.)
Move: Teleport at E7. You are at E3. That makes 4 squares move, you power allow to teleport 3 squares. Do you want to teleport to E5, which would allow the same close blast area?
Standard: Cutting words: Miss
AP: Decree of Khirad: Hit and Hit.
I'll assume you teleport to E5 and curse the not cursed ghoul. If you want to change something to this, tell me.
Frederic: Claw (1d20+9=23, 1d6+2=3) Hit for 3 necrotic damage and SHerryl takes 5 necrotic ongoing damage.
Ghoul: Claw (1d20+13=28, 1d6+4=9) Hit for 9 damage and Frederic is Immobilized (save ends) [/SBLOCK]

Charina hustles up to the front, past Ikni and Bell. She loads a special bolt with an hollow head filled with a special powder of her own creation. As the attention of Frederic, a ghoul and Sherryl is on her, she invokes Lolth curse to wrap herself and her surroundings in shadows. Then BAM! From the darkness comes the attack, the bolt exploding in the middle of the enemies and causing havok. A high pitched giggle can be heard from within the cloud.

The gnome jumps into the fray, soaring over the heads of his allies with a mighty leap. Naturally, this is accompanied by a suitably wailing pitch from his Great Ultra-Intense Thundering Audio Ripper to heighten the sense of drama. He darts through the battlefield, zig-zagging between blasts of necrotic energy and arbalest bolts, while navigating the scattered sarcophagi.
Finally closing in on the kidnapped children, Rhole dives into a mighty power-slide that takes him at least 30-foot down parallel to the altar plateau. This puts him out of view of most combatants, though you could swear there were hints of sparks from Rhole’s knees during his incredible slide... And that would probably have been pretty uncomfortable, had he not been resistant to fire.
“Stay cool, kids!” Rhole shouts as he passes the prisoners. “Wish I could say "I’ll be right back", but let’s face it: This is a horror scene; uttering those words would be a death sentence!”
“... Wait, uh... dammit!”
[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Sustain Song of Courage.
Move & Standard: Rhole runs to O11, keeping against the plateau wall for cover (if his height even allows foes to target him at all).
I’m going for the save. In a moment Ikni’ll drop and be knocked out, making her easy prey for Jemny. Would’ve healed Bell first if I could, though - she might want to get out of Sherryl’s aura ASAP.

Don't push too hard your karma. Frederic aura is doing necrotic damage and the ghoul is an undead, so take a guess what happen to those damage. If it had been Sherryl who had attacked Frederic, that would have been another thing.

Yeah, I didn't count on it. Even immobilization surprised me. Some things in 4e have a way of doing so to long established 3.5 traditions (such as undead paralyzation, sneak attacks and warforged having dragonmarks...)
But we did get +1 to hit and damage from Sheryil aura

"You'll pay for it, drow, and I don't need to see you to kill you." shouts Frederic on an angry tone. He unleash again a blast of necrotic energy, but it seems more clumsy and only Martelai doesn't find a way to dodge it, unable to move from where he stand.
Jemny, seeing Rhole coming, quickly move next to him and strike him with a vicious infected wound, before retreating.
Harold, seeing his friend Jemny wounded, alone and against soon two enemies, go to her help and charge Rhole and strike him harder. He then quickly positioned himself to block Rhole advance.

Free: Save (Immobilized, Blind) (1d20=4, 1d20=19) Save against Blindness.
Jemny
Move: walk to O10
Standard: Claw vs AC; Rhole (1d20+11=18, 2d6+4=7) Hit for 7 damage and 5 ongoing necrotic damage and shift to Q8
Harold
Move: walk to K11
Standard: Charge at M11: Claw vs AC; Rhole (1d20+12=18, 2d6+4=14) Hit for 14 damage and 5 ongoing necrotic damage (don't stack, so ignored) and shift to P11.
I can't believe it, they still hit twice flush. But I so see it coming... Fade Away? If yes, Harold will miss, Rhole would be at 22(17)/29 hp and Harold would be at M11.[/SBLOCK]

As the first dreadclaw’s strike connects, Rhole cringes and sticks out his tongue at it. A flash of smoke envelops him - reminiscent of what one would use for a cheap stage performance effect – leaving no trace of the gnome when it fades.
This causes the second dreadclaw to swing at nothing but air, resulting in an impotent display of misplaced force. Somewhere high above the pitched battle, Rock plays a mocking sound on a stone trombone to signify the failed assault.
