How long (in rounds) should a fight between 4 kobold skirmishers and a balanced 1st level party take?

How long does a fight last?

Four skirmishers would probably take about 2-4 rounds unless there's some crazy crits going on that take them out faster. Up to 6 rounds if everyone rolls like poo.
It might be a bit of a boring fight having 4 of the same creature, though. I think adding in a slinger or two or something like that might make it more fun. Or, if you just want the 4 skirmishers, definitely create terrain that is advantageous to the skirmishers. Otherwise, the PCs might steamroll them. 4e works best when using rooms with lots of features and a good mix of enemies.

Hmm. The skirmishers are high damage but not especially durable. No more than 6 rounds, I would imagine, and possibly much shorter (perhaps 3 rounds) if the party has some good damage dealers. However, the party will likely take some solid damage in the process, unless they position well enough to deny the skirmishers flanking.

Both of the above answers sound about right, given what I've seen of 4e so far.
