Fendric:
Edit: Fendric casts the same spell, hitting AC22 for 23 damage.
[5' step back, cast Searing light.]
Edit: The hippogriff vanishes with the large arrowhawk's last bite, no doubt set for great reward in the Hereafter.
Hiritus:
Seeing the beating Fendric is taking, Hiritus interposes himself and Justice between Fendric and the bird attacking him.
[movement to I17, to give Fendric cover from the arrowhawk. If he can reach the arrowhawk (doubtful), Hiritus will attack at +10/d8+2.]

Xiao Yu, malee human monk
Xiao rides out the wave, managing to keep his footing.
"Ha!" he shouts, emerging from the water dripping wet, a bit battered, but not broken. He snatches up his hat, which had come adrift. "Big huge wave not so bad!"
The grin disappears from his face as he spots Oliver being swept away.
"Bother."

Reflex (1d20+7=15), hp 47/48.
Xiao will attempt to help Oliver. Hopefully his staff will be able to reach. If not, he will have to use the rope hanging down the cliff. Someone up above will have to unattach it is there isn't enough loose rope at the bottom.

(Couple of ooc notes...
dpdx: A concentration check is only required if you take damage during the casting of the spell, ie from a readied attack or other similar interruptive effect, or for spells with casting times of a full round or more... Since Searing is a standard action, and there's nothing to threaten an AoO and hence no need to cast defensively, no concentration check should be required. As such, go ahead and roll to hit and damage.
Tailspinner: With spider climb in place, I'm not considering the wave to have knocked you prone, and you should also be able to reach the top with a move action... As such, Cylantro should still have a standard action to play around with up top.)
Xiao extends his staff down to Oliver, to aid the old fellow back up the cliffside.
Fendric lets loose with another searing light (results to be determined...)
Raven lets three more arrows fly, but only the first finds its target; even for that, the thing seems less than bothered. Tatlock targets the same enemy, but again without success, another stone spent into the sea.

Nurthk unshoulders his bow and lets an arrow fly at the most injured of the arrowhawks. He spots Oliver a little ways down the slope, soaked but only a little worse for wear.
"Your bow is fine!" he yells down to him, making a mental note about checking Gale's saddlebags for things that may have survived the plunge.
attack: 24
damage: 5

Xiao Yu, male human Monk.
--- Round 6 ---
Xiao helps Oliver to his feet, then glances around.
"Is Oliver good?" he asks. Assuming Oliver is capable of loooking after himself now, Xiao will turn his attention to ensure that the rock monsters are delt with.
"Then we get horses back."
Xiao casts a fleeting glance at the sky. He hopes that the others will deal with that particular problem. The only thing Xiao can throw at them is rocks.

Cylantro : Female Human
Once at the top, she whirls around and casts another spell at the arrowhawk that she injured earlier. Three more glowing missiles streak toward the creature.
OOC: magic missile spell, range 150 ft, 3d4+3 damage (10)

Oliver looks down the slope at Gale and Vespers' writhing and at Xiao's extended staff and earnest face. And back to the horses. He growls at Nurthk, "Throw it to me, knucklehead!" He waits a scant moment to see if Nurthk will respond and then with a curt shake of his head at Xiao, takes off at an off kilter lope down the steep grade.
He calls over his shoudler, "Rope in Bastrop's pack!"
OOC:
Reflex to catch crossbow: 19
Edited to add latter dialog.

(slight backtrack) Fendric's second searing light is even more successful than the first. The arrowhawk lets out a cry, then crashes to the ground. It lies motionless upon the rocks.
Nurthk tosses the crossbow down to Oliver while unshouldering his own, and selects a target. He estimates that bird hit by the wave (#3) is the closest to falling; his arrow connects, bringing the beast that much closer.
Oliver catches the bow, then begins to make a soft jog down cliffside.
Meanwhile, Cylantro's second casting paints the sky, again injuring the arrowhawk which has dared to threaten her.
Hiritus maintains his position, devoting his attention to covering Fendric.
The largest arrowhawk (#1) flies at an angle, apparently focused on Fendric; as it sees Hiritus lead Justice to keep the cleric protected, the bird changes its mind and focuses on the Paladin instead, a bolt of electricty arcing through the air from its tail. (Hiritus: Attack 37 touch, Damage 10)
Down the slope, Cylantro finds herself once again the object of her combatants' aggression. It fires down with an impatient cry. (Cylantro: Attack 17 touch, Damage 6)
And further down yet, Oliver finds his scramble toward the horses interrupted by the final remaining bird. (#3) It fires down upon him, then positions itself to block his way. (Oliver: Attack 16 touch, Damage 6)
The remaining elemental, meanwhile, takes a wide swipe at Xiao; the monk needn't even twitch the avoid the strike. (Fumble.)
Xiao, seeing that Oliver is fine, responds with a staff-strike of his own, which is much more successful. The thing falls back into the the chasm, crumbling as it goes.
The wind, meanwhile, is whipping up yet more fiercefully as Fendric heals himself. (Fendric: +19 hp) It is strong enough now to pull an arrow from its course, even at these distances. (-2 penalty on attacks with missile weapons.)
The four men running toward you continue are now some 240 feet away. The weapons are plainly identifiable at this distance: Two have crossbows, one has a shortbow, and the last carries a longbow at ready, with some apparent confidence.
