Either works for me. I think Jareth is the best fighter. What is the max range for the Benign Transposition?

I'd prefer not to get Trans'd into the enemy group. Jareth is at his best when he's able to quickly move in and out of the conflict (Spring Attack, with Knock-Down for Trips). He doesn't quite have Whirlwind Attack yet... When he does get that, he'll be more up for the "Oh, dear, I'm surrounded... Not!" sort of thing.
But sending Mal into the center, with Jareth harrying on the outside of the group, (doing his hit-and-run thing, AoO'ing and tripping anyone trying to close with him) would probably work pretty well. Then Ern would need to join into the formation with the others and everyone else just stay protected. Maybe some magical/ranged attacks, but avoid melee like the plague. Leave the melee stuff to those who are good at it.
BTW, HM, looking ahead to 6th level... I'd like to trade out Spell Power +2 (and it's later enhancements) for Power Attack (and possibly other feats from the PA line, later, if you agree). Jareth's fighting style focuses on inflicting the most damage possible, while staying away from the fray (or overpowering everyone in the fray - Whirlwind Attack). Power Attack emphasizes that while Spell Power... doesn't.
(Plus, Spell Power is only good against creatures with SR, and it only provides a small bonus. Considering we're likely to be heading into more pitched battles, most soldiers aren't going to have anything resembling SR.

The main reason I took BT (range 120' btw, so not incredibly long.) was to escape with a summoned creature/ Im being attacked! Defend me strong guys! moments. The only real combats Ern had seen, Jareth basically decimated (zombies/mimic No offence to Mal though. He did keep us alive 
)
so I guess Mal is thevictim hero? His aura could be pretty strong as well.

Yeah, plus I have my defensive fighting while two weapon fighting combo. Means I take the small penalty, but gain so much more than normally on defense. I'll be your huckleberry!
Hopefully I don't die... I will need the prot from arrows, and then I should be good to go. If anyone else has any buffs to get me, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, let's kick some reaver butt!

- Group is within 60' of Haden, so he's within missile range.
- Mal's protected from Missiles; Jareth is NOT.
- Group can get to Haden in 1 double move or 2 normal moves.
- Baddies will take two rounds, running, to reach Haden; 1 round to get into missile range.
- If baddies use missile weapons they will be firing into Melee; Haden may or may nor be protected from missiles.
SO, to kill Haden before the rest arrive: Mal gets two rounds, Jareth has one round and people using missile weapon have one round plus either one round firing into melee or one round of melee.
Thoughts?

So I guess we are waiting until Ern decides to switch. If she waits until she is next to Haden, or at least 10 feet from him, I can get a full attack in, which is two attacks with two weapon fighting.
Otherwise, I will charge/attack first round, then lay into him next round with two attacks. Aura would switch to Power Aura, for +1 dmg on melee attacks.
Also, Mal would side step if possible to allow a charge if anyone else could charge Haden with him, (namely Jareth). Mal would try to allow charge paths, and eventually trying to flank whenever possible.
