Paddy charges in, and stabs at one of the gremlins.
[dice=attack] 1d20 + 4 + 1; 1d6; 1d4
Paddy flanks a gremlin with Hisao, but the little fey dodges his dagger thrust....
Upon the request of a rather weapon laden acolyte, Tiberius would come to a stop on the stairs and start stowing his weapons away as he is presented with the mighty weapon. With a quick, "Thank you!" in French, Tiberius would accept the weapon and start back up the stairs.
Knowledge (local) DC 15 to know the gargoyles traditionally defend Notre Dame cathedral and its clergy and faithful....
Tevaga rushes (not charges) up to the closest healthy gremlin, screaming For health activating her "healing" judgment as a swift action. She does try to avoid being caught between 2 creatures to avoid flanking, though (if possible) she will assist others.
[dice=attack] 1d20+5
[dice=damage] 1d6+3
Tevaga strikes a gremlin hard, laying it out flat!
While Tiberius was unsure of why his potential allies focused on the smaller targets, Tiberius knew that the gargolyes were hostile and would act accordingly as he steps up and swings his newly obtained magical cold iron earth breaker at the menacing creature, never realizing it was being forced to act against it's will.
She speaks towards Tiberius:
Be careful warrior! The gargoyles are under some enchantment that has made them break their oaths!
.
.
In French then English
To his new allies: Let us try to end the Gargoyles' curse, brought on by the traitorous Cleric -- The Necromancer.
To the Gargoyles: Gargoyles, forget not who made thee; forget not whom you protect. Fight the influence of the vile Necromancer cursing you -- he LIES!
We will break your curse!
... Iommi-Tyr Magnusson shoots at any Gremlin within 30' who is NOT in melee -- there are 4, yes?. (If all Gremlins are in melee Iommi-Tyr Magnusson will ready an action to fire when said conditions exist.)
Iommi-Tyr sticks a cold iron bolt in the gremlin standing to the gargoyle's left side.... It shrieks in pain, but still stands....

[dice=Earth Breaker Attack Roll]1d20+7
[dice=Earth Breaker Damage Roll]2d6+7
Tiberius brings the magic cold iron earth breaker down with great force, but the gargoyle dodges aside, and the great cold iron head of the maul hammers the flagstone floor of the belfry with an echoing boom!
"The Gargoyle does not reek of evil. I would like to avoid killing it, if possible." Alphonse calls back to the rest of the group. His opinion is corroborated by Iommi's mention of the Necromancer.
Nevertheless, he feels this creature is dangerous enough that attacking it without intent to harm would be folly.
For now, he stands at the ready to attack any enemy who comes nearby.
The gargoyle wipes pebbles from its eyes with the back of a stony claw and points a stony talon at Michael the Warsong, pouting grotesquely....
Te ludere aliquam cantantem aut membratim tibi dirumpam!!
In spite of this threat, it approaches no closer to the mute minstrel....
One of the gremlins squeaks in high-pitched French:
Plutôt jouez un hymne funèbre de funérailles pour vos amis stupides, musicien! HEEHEEHEEHEE!!!
The gremlins dart away from their attackers into shadowy corners of the belfry, withdrawing where necessary to avoid AoOs....
To clarify (as someone I think asked if there were 4 gremlins), there are 6 gremlins in all, including the 2 that lured the party to the top of the tower....
Tevaga continues harrying the gremlins, going after the same one paddy & hisao using her cold iron shortsword.
Tevaga sees a gremlin yanking a cold iron bolt out of its belly and whimpering.... She thrusts her short sword into its chest, and it drops with a whistling wheeze!
SQUEEEEEEHHH!!!
5 gremlins remain in action....
Well, let's get after them! Paddy implores.
He steps towards the nearest gremlin and tries to impale it with his blade.

[dice=attack] 1d20 + 5; 1d6
[dice=crit] 1d20 + 5; 1d6
Paddy dashes after a gremlin, sticking it in the back with the cold iron dagger and causing it to squeal....
YIPE!!
As he advances after the little monster, his booted foot snags a tripwire, bringing a bucket of tiny bronze ball bearings down to scatter and roll in a 10-ft-radius spread underfoot.... Paddy must succeed on a DC 12 Reflex save to avoid falling prone!
The ball bearings roll into Hisao's square, too.... DC 12 Reflex save to avoid falling prone, Hisao!
Curse ya, ya wee little devil!! I'm gonna stuff these down yer stinking throat!!
And demonstrates his own agility by smoothly avoiding the trap as he pursues the retreating gremlins avoiding the stone monster because... hey it's a stone monster. He will try to get into flanking position and wail away with the heavy weapon.
** spoiler omitted ** Hisao mutters to himself as he misses.

[dice=Heavy mace attack]1d20+1;1d8+1
Flanking a withdrawing gremlin with Paddy, Hisao brings the head of the cold iron mace down on its little skull with great speed and force, crushing the wicked little fey!
Hah! Hisao shakes the gore covered mace with triumph at his flanking buddy Paddy and his similarly bloody dagger.
Aye, me boyo...that's the stuff! Paddy says at his new found ally.
]b] Let's go send sone more of the wee buggers to the pits of Hades , eh?[/b]
Paddy then seeks out a gremlin to skewer.
4 gremlins remain.... And the gargoyle, of course....
Perhaps if we dispose of these tricksters it will calm the Gargoyle! says Tevaga, while still staying as far from the gargoyle as possible while slaying gremlins.
.
.
.
Reload Handcrossbow w/ Cold Iron bolt.
(If necessary) Move to keep w/in 30' of one of the four Gremlins not likely to be in melee.
....Obviously in the next round I will fire.
.

Thanks Rynjin!
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson fires if he doesn't need to move to get within 30':

Paddy then seeks out a gremlin to skewer.
He spots one lingering about 10 ft away in a shadowy corner where crates and buckets are stacked....
It makes eye contact, gasps in fear, and looks around for an escape route!
.
.Thanks Rynjin!
Iommi-Tyr Magnusson fires if he doesn't need to move to get within 30':

YYEEEOOOOOWWWCH!!!
Iommi-Tyr's bolt grazes a gremlin!
Paddy dashes at the gremlin, a grim demeanor fixed on his face.
Say hello to yer kin when you get to Hell, ya blighter ya!
Round 12:
"Agreed, Tevaga. Let us deal with these things first."
Alphonse moves in and slashes a Gremlin with his new Greatsword.
Charmaine calls out to the lord to give her the strength to fight this evil as she does that her sword burst into golden flames.
Smite thy evil, i am a conduit of good
Charmaine moves to the closest goblin menacingly as the golden flames dance around her sword and illuminate her face. Her hands tighten around the hilt of her long sword as she readies to strike.
Paddy dashes at the gremlin, a grim demeanor fixed on his face.
Say hello to yer kin when you get to Hell, ya blighter ya!
As Paddy dashes at the gremlin, grim demeanor suddenly changes to startled surprise as the "blighter" suddenly yanks a thin cord connected to the bucket while springing out of the way, spilling an eye-abrading dust of flour mixed with powdered talc in Paddy's square!
Reflex save DC 15, or Paddy is blinded for rounds!
If he succeeds on his save, his attack on the gremlin strikes.... If not, his blinded condition grants the gremlin a 50% miss chance.... 01-50 misses....
Round 12:
"Agreed, Tevaga. Let us deal with these things first."
Alphonse moves in and slashes a Gremlin with his new Greatsword.
Heeheehee!!! JENGA!!!
As Alphonse moves in, greatsword raised, the gremlin yanks a peg out of a precariously stacked heap of crates and barrels, studded with nails driven through from within, causing them to topple toward the young paladin!
Reflex save DC 15 to avoid piercing and bludgeoning damage, Alphonse....
If he survives this gremlin trap, his attack cleaves the gremlin who triggered it from crown to groin, the two halves flopping wetly to the belfry floor!
Charmaine calls out to the lord to give her the strength to fight this evil as she does that her sword burst into golden flames.
** spoiler omitted **
Smite thy evil, i am a conduit of good
Charmaine moves to the closest goblin menacingly as the golden flames dance around her sword and illuminate her face. Her hands tighten around the hilt of her long sword as she readies to strike.
The gremlin Charmaine moves toward cuts a thin cord, dropping a sack of bricks upon the young holy woman for bludgeoning damage, unless she evades with a successful DC 15 Reflex save!
Ye'll have ta get up a little earlier in tha morn ta put one over on me, ya nasty little pest!
Growling and narrowing its stony eyes, and given a wide berth by the newly arrived adventurers, the gargoyle stomps toward the mute minstrel whose lament so stirred its stony heart....
When it comes within reach of Michael the Warsong, it roars!
Ludere a lætitia, culus!!
"Aaagh!" Alphonse cries in pain as the debris pierces his flesh.
[dice=reflex] 1d20 + 6
Ye'll have ta get up a little earlier in tha morn ta put one over on me, ya nasty little pest!
Undaunted by the cloud of blinding talcum, Paddy stabs the gremlin, which squeals like a stuck pig!
SQUEEEEEEEHHH!!!!
1d20+1
"Aaagh!" Alphonse cries in pain as the debris pierces his flesh.
Alphonse is pierced and battered, but fights through, and cleaves the wee bugger in twain!
Now, only 2 gremlins remain standing, one badly wounded by Paddy's cold iron dagger....
[dice=Reflex]1d20
Leaping forward, Charmaine dodges the sack of bricks!

Jean Lamarre has been living in a mom-and-pop run inn recently, serving the owners for his keep. He is mopping the floor of the foyer as he hears quite literally, fate come crashing down into his life again. If there has been any talk of an overt rallying of the people against Conflagratius en Paris, then Jean has been oblivious to it, in dealing with both his mundane work and the horrors of his prescience.
............
Jean hears the reknowned bells of Notre Dame crash, and the sounds of ruckus, conflict and crisis. He has been awaiting the directive of the Spirit of the Lord for when he might find those whose quest coalesced with his own, and when the bell crashed, his heart found a tense quickening.
He abandons his duties, as he has done many times before, for lesser bouts of paranoia than this, grabbing once again his worn soldier outfit and hastily making way for the Cathedral.
I like where you're going with it, Jean! Let's run with it! :)
Come on in!
Tevaga aproaches a wounded Gremlin and STRIKES with her shortsword.
Three gargoyles remain outside on the edge of the western facade....
On hearing and seeing Jean Lamarre's swift approach, they again take up the pieces of jagged slating or cornerstones torn off the ancient cathedral and assail this late-comer with a fresh volley of mortar!
strikes Jean for bludgeoning damage as a chunk of mortar pelts him!
and a slate shingle deals bludgeoning to Jean as well!
misses!
The oracle tries to make it through the gauntlet of rubble-chucking gargoyles, but falls under two unfortunate heavy blows!
Round 12
Hisao goes after the final gremlin. Moving with grace he adjusts to the heft of his new weapon and swings it sideways at the skull of the final little monster.
