Ok, I will roll your initiative and maybe use Scorching Burst in the first round.
Any more tactical advices?

Scorching Burst? I was actually thinking about using the heavy guns for that one. 
I'll Fireball those freaks.
E4 if I manage to go before the monsters (should get the ogre and the wolfie). Otherwise I'll just try to hit as many as possible with a fireball in the first round (preferably hitting the two heavies).
The rest of the fight I'll try to get clusters of enemies with Scorching Burst and fire maybe Icy Rays at the heavies.
I'll avoid close combat at any cost (teleport when necessary).

Questions: Are the gates open? Does anyone else besides Nerve actually know there's enemies there? I'm assuming they do. (Edit: Well ... the ogre probably stands a good 2-4 feet taller than the wall, so I certainly hope they can see him!) Is it the normal 1st round, not a surprise round? And is it reasonable for Nerve to start the encounter stealthed?

Yes, I assume Nerve starts stealthed and no, nobody has yet noticed the enemies. The oger came up a hill and the guards lack low-light vision.
@Niehaus: I would really suggest to switch position with Mordok, as r1 is still away.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the current encounter, but this is a module originally written for 2nd edition, right? How hard was it to convert to 4e? Just curious, I don't really know how those modules were written.

Thanks for your edits. It was really my bad.
@LS: Actually, no, it was no D&D module. It is an once free adventure from Savage World, but no longer avaiable for download at my knowledge. SW already used something like minion rules and I just added 4e mechanics, recalculated the encounters for your powerlevel, added some fluff and changed some skill checks into skill challenges.
The adventure has actually a second act... oops, not to much spoiler!

Would the second act be "Against the Giants"? I've heard that name around, too ... is there maybe a PbP of that happening at the moment? I think I'm making that up...
And thanks for the link! There's some good stuff in there.

No, I really mean the second act of the adventure, that brings... spoiler.
'Against the Giants' is really an old D&D module and there are two Eberron 3.5 games on this forum.
