Human Rgr3/Ftr4/Duskblade2/OOBI 1 (and no XP penalty!)
Dwarf Ftr 10
Human Rog1/"Cleric" 9 (actually a homebrew divine caster)
Human Monk7/Tattooed Monk 3
Human Rog 3/Ftr 4/Dread Commando 3
NPC: Aasimar Pal1/Wiz7/Spellsword1
So a big group with pretty much all the bases covered, but weak on trap-handling and without 5th-level spells for a 10th-level party.
