Unfortunately, Jareen hasn't prepared Sleep, he prepared Phantom Chasm and that has been already cast as his Daily a while back. So I suggest we run with a Phantom Bolt. Using these rolls, he misses the defiler but, using his Orb of Deception power, he can redirect the miss at another target standing within 3 of the previous target - I choose Archer 1 - and roll again with a +3 (for his CHA bonus). Since you rolled a 20, that's a hit anyway.
Jareen fires his mystic bolt. It misses the tatget he was initiaitlly aiming at but, through arcane processes too mind-twisting for anyone not initimately familir with illusion magic to comprehend, manages to convince one of the archers that he has been struck. The bowman promptly expires from heart failure.

Th'Kal moves into the cave hugging close to the wall. As he approaches the group clustered together he surges with primal rage, buzzing and clicking in anger as he slides in close to the defiler -- lashing out with axe and claws.
Move Action: Move to Y17.
Stand Action: Pressing Strike which allows a shift prior to the attack -- shift to Y16 (the space A1 used to be in now that he's dead).
Attack vs Defiler:
Pressing Strike:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 vs Defiler's AC,
If it hits, Damage:1d12 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Minor Action: Kreen Claws targeting both defiler and archer:
Claws:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 vs Defiler's AC
Claws:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 vs A2
If they hit, Damage:1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8 to each.
Assuming that kills the Archer (I gain 2 temp hp -- not much but anything helps)

Th'Kal catches the retreating arcanist a glancing blow across the back. With a deadly sharp claw the 'kreen then plunges into the nearby archer's abdomen, pulls out again and triumphantly waves his enemy's excised spleen in his face. The archer slumps to the tunnel floor, gouting crimson blood.
A2 down.
Ruscer. By the way, I'm taking the view that it's probably pretty difficult to make missile attacks from outside very far up the tunnel as the contrast between the bright desert sun and dark tunnel probably means that you can't see clearly. Ruscer (and Jareen - I'll move him later) will have to move closer - say within 10' of the tunnel entrance.

Two arrows hit the elf in the back but he staggers on.
Meanwhile, the half-giant sets about Gart with a will. Still unable to see Arakan, he then heads towards the main action near the tunnel mouth.
Attack on Gart:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 v Fort, damage 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (7, 4, 5, 3, 8) + 9 = 36 and the target is Dazed (can only take a single action each round) and takes a -2 penalty to saving throws (save ends both). Aftereffect - the target grants combat advantage (save ends). But I suspect that's all moot since that probably takes you down.
He then moves, presumably provoking an AoO from Arakan.

After the half-giant moves, Arakan tries to follow him, concerned about taking a hit, but not enough to slow him down from his intended goal. He moves up behind the clustered group, and lets out a shout of fury. Boosted by the drawing of arcane power, his shout forces his enemies away from him, and further into the reach of his allies.
Move to AA12, If the EW marks me with the AoO, I use False Bravado (Minor action at-will) to remove the mark
Shout of Triumph (close blast 3) in Z13 to AB15

ED into Z16, HG into Z15, and even if I hit A3, I don't care if he gets pushed.
I'm not sure you can push HG into Z15 - that would be two squares of movement given the corner he'd have to go around. And as you didn't kill the archer HG'll have to stay where he is.
EW first uses his power that allows his ED to shift 3. He then moves up and attacks Arakan. 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15 v AC, damage 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Arakan stabs at the retreating half-giant, but misses in the dark and confusion. As Arakan tries to slip around the elf warrior he receives a nasty but superficial wound. But then Arakan unleashes a magic shout down the tunnel that shoves the archer, the half-giant and the other elf about with its fury. The elven warrior calls encouragingly to his friend, who slips out of Th'Kal's reach and moves up closer. Together they try to tackle Arakan. But the warrior is shaken by Arakan's shout and his attack is deflected by a desperate parry from the ex-slave.
Attack on Arakan: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17 v Ref, damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 damage and the target takes a -2 penalty to Fort and Will until the end of EW's next turn.
Gart gets his death saving throw, then it's the remaining archer.
The tunnel throbs to the sound of beating wings and the defiler and the half-giant gladiator bat at imaginary foes.

Th'Kal sees his new pack-brother in a bad position and rushes the last archer, a shrill noise erupts from him as he uses the rage to fuel his strikes... hoping to free Arakan from the tunnel and give them another target to worry about.

Pressing Strike:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 vs Archer's AC, if it hits 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 EDIT: Assuming that kills him -- if by chance it doesn't, ignore the rest of this...

Then I'll Spend my Action Point to hit the Warrior again:

EDIT 2: using feat to reroll the 1 on the damage dice: ACTUAL DAMAGE OF THAT LAST STRIKE:7 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ 7 + (5) + 5 = 17
Befuddled by Jareen's spell, the elf caster and the half-giant cannot respond as Th'Kal rampages through, killing first the archer and then the elven warrior.

Arakan is oddly comforted by the kreen's presence. The big bug has taken an interest in keeping him alive it seems. Hoping that the guy and Jareens distraction can keep running interference, he moves past the elf to stand behind the giant man. Squeezing the small bladder within the glove he found at Grak's, the liquid within oozes down to coat his blade. He slashes at the Half-giant, hoping he can get rid of the guy once and for all with a well-placed kidney shot, and a touch of bard's best friend.

Th'Kal slowly backs a few paces down the tunnel towards Gart. His antenna locked on his prey as he makes room for his pounce... A slight pause, a shift on his axe grip with his upper arms, and then he lets out a roaring challenge that throws both his lower arms and his mandibles wide -- springing towards the elf.

P.S. If we're still in rounds for my next turn, I could go and try to stablize Gart or trigger his second wind -- I don't have the greatest Heal Skill, but anything is better than watching him bleed out and it looks like the tunnel is pretty crowded around the last baddy.

Still recovering from the effect of Arakan's poison and Jareen's spell, the half-giant thrashes his axe about at Ruscer but hits no one. (Thankfully, otherwise we could be looking at fatalities.) Furio strikes back, but the half-giant seems to be made of rock. Neither his blow not Ruscer's arrows seem to make an impression.

Arakan revels in the notion that they are down to the last one, and this big guy is going to finally get his. He decides to try and find a choice piece of flesh in the Half-ginat's back to plant his blade, probably somewhere near the spine. He finds a spot and tries his best to sever some of the vertebrae.
Arakan stabs again. Something seems to go crunch but the half-giant still doesn't fall. He half turns, staring at Arakan with crazed eyed, his lips blood-flecked.
