Round 1, continued
Hacker pulls himself to his feet and expresses his contempt for the armored human in typical style. He weaves a pair of powerful spells with his music, bolstering his allies and sending the human staggering ineptly into the point of Woe's spear, drawing a bloody wound.
Round 2
Mikara takes advantage of the human's stumble, filling his back with four well-placed arrows that punch easily through the armor. Though strong, the human warrior sways and crashes to the ground, bleeding freely.
Atreus finishes his circuit of the building, emerging behind the elf. His power pulses, reeling her into the shadows. He raises his brutal axe, smiling in anticipation.
Tristan unleashes a flurry of blows at the hobgoblin. Most of his attacks only send wood flying from the deck supports of the house, but two of them land, opening bleeding rents in the hob's thick hide. But Tristan does not emerge from the exchange unscathed; the hobgoblin's sharp tusks find purchase, tearing away a flap of his skin.
Kathalia pounces on the dwarf, snarling and snapping, but due to a last-second glance back at the dangerous human, Kathalia just misses. Undeterred, she spring away, landing with staggering force on the elf's back and dazing her.
Woe stands and nonchalantly hurls his shield at the dwarf. His aim is true, and the dwarf glares malevolently at the warrior, spitting teeth.
The elf, staggering, whirls and manages to stab Kathalia with her spear. She looks despairingly toward the fallen human, but cannot come to his aid.
The dwarf mutters another spell, and grins a bloody grin at Woe as it takes effect. At first nothing happens, but then a horrible stench billows out from behind Hacker and Woe, choking their lungs and making their eyes water so badly that they cannot see for crucial seconds.
The gnome rises from his hiding spot, firing two quick shots at Hacker. The first misses, but the second arrow takes him right below the rib cage, sending him to the ground, unmoving.
[sblock=ooc]Questions and meta stuff:
First, sorry for the delays. I should be back to a roughly normal (full) schedule now.
Second, healing from Fires of Life saves: Yes, I'd forgotten that, thanks for the reminder. Alas, nobody within 5 squares of the bad guys was injured at the time they saved.
Third, regarding flavor for knocking them unconscious: Who says they're going to stay unconscious? I've got a healer in play. You guys wouldn't want me to disarm you when you got dropped mid-fight, I imagine.
Now for the round itself:
Hacker stands, designates the human as his prey, uses Concerted Effort followed by Blunder, which hits for 13 and grants Woe a BMA, which hits for 7 damage and marks the human. (Note that concerted effort and Blunder both give power bonuses, which don't stack. Doesn't matter this time, though.)
Mikara fills the human full of arrows, hitting 4 times for 58 damage. (Note that your 2d0 came out as 2, not 0.) The human drops, dying (but not dead since there's a healer in play). Mikara's move doesn't provoke (the goblin is 20' up and has a ranged weapon, among other reasons) and she is hidden from all but the hobgoblin.
Atreus moves to L2. This move is a bit problematic, stealth-wise, since he doesn't end the move with improved cover or total concealment from the elf, but again it doesn't matter, executioner's noose still hits, and your stealth is blown from the attack anyway. The elf is pulled and slowed, and has 2 shrouds now. Atreus, in your char sheet can you include which defense the power targets? And don't let me forget that you need a second approval still.
Tristan oaths the hob, and (eventually) manages to hit him twice for 26 damage. As an immediate reaction when hit, the hobgoblin bites Tristan:
19 vs. AC hits for 8 damage. The hob is bloodied.
Kathalia hits the elf with predator's flurry, but misses the dwarf due to the human's mark. 10 damage to the elf, and it is dazed (tent Kathalia). Screaming hide armor gives the dwarf -2 to hit (tent Kathalia).
Woe stands and hits the dwarf with his throwing shield for 10 damage, marking it. No kicking the torch, since I'd just said that took a move action for weapons. Not sure what Woe is doing with an active perception check, since his passive beat the gnome's stealth.
The elf stabs at Kathalia with her spear:
26 vs. AC hits for 8 damage.
The dwarf
recharges Brimstone Hail, and uses Vile Fumes, burst 2 centered on N16, catching Woe and Hacker.
23 and 26 vs. Fort, respectively, hit both for 16 damage, and they are blinded (tent dwarf). He moves closer to Kathalia.
The human lies there and does nothing. His mark expires.
The hobgoblin uses Relentless Endurance and regains 5 hp. No longer bloodied. He
fails to recharge Shadow Strike. He attacks Tristan with a basic attack;
30 vs. AC hits for 6 damage.
Gnome appears in I8 and shoots Hacker twice,
15 vs. AC misses but 26 vs. AC hits for 13 damage. Hacker drops, dying. Gnome moves and attempts stealth:
16 hides it from Woe and Hacker, but everyone else knows:
[sblock=hiding]he's in I8 still[/sblock]
Everyone is up.

[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).
