Well, I just posted my next action, so I am hoping that:
1) Uth-gar fails his reflex save and takes the full 16 hp of damage
2) The other 3 hobbies fail as well and die from 16 hp damage.
That would leave us the Uth-Gar, invisible cleric, and 2 hobbies to deal with.
I think next round I am hitting Uth-gar with empowered ray of enfeeblement to reduce his damage.. he is slicing and dicing like a cuisinart. Hopefully Durion can land one or two sneak attack blows this round to further soften him up.
I'd recommend getting more hp back into Jonathan this round. He is most likely going to take one or two hits from getting back up.
Don't forget Durion's +1 to hit vs. Goblinoids -- not sure if you have that added in with your flanking bonuses....

As everybody can see, I decided to stay on the ground and try to attack. Taking 3 AoO for standing didn't sound like a good plan. It worked out pretty well I think 
I hope a 17 hits Uth-Gar to confirm that crit. We know a 16 doesn't. Just a reminder to everybody, WRT can be used on those that go before me in init to give them another turn...as long as they are within 10' of me. I couldn't use it this time due to distance. Perhaps as far as tactics go, unless we know there is a mage around or something else with area effect spells, we should try and stick together. That is, if everybody survives. This encounter must have a huge EL. Massive exp if we kill everything.

This has been a very challenging encounter. We were very lucky that Uth-gar didn't decide to finish Jonathan completely before moving onto Durion.
What is nice about our group is that everyone has a boat load of hp (except me). Durion wading over with 45 hp definitely helps us out as a sustainer of damage.
I don't forsee the cleric becoming un-invisible at this point, unless it is this round -- as it looks like (if my ice breath takes down the 3 mooks) the tide has turned.
Uth-gar is not going to survive long with a dual-wielding sneak attacker grinding on him.
Ethandrew - I would heavily recommend NOT casting on the defensive, as you have no ranks in Concentration and would need a Concentration check (DC18) to cast the spell. (You would have a +2 modifier due to your constitution though)
