The first Skirmisher throws his dagger at Aurr -- missnig but hoping to keep Aurr off balance. He then pulls a pair of swords out ready to jump into melee. Skirmisher2 has a clear shot at Rive. He removes a crossbow from his back and opens fire. Rive easily avoids the shot ().

Jumping At its closest point it's 15' across.
With a running start (move 2 sq ahead of time) you need to get above a DC20 Athletics Check to get to the other side.
If you fail but get at least a 15DC, you are allowed to try to catch yourself on the opposite ledge (see below)
If you failed your original jump check and didn't get at least a 15 -or- if you fail to catch yourself, YOU FALL.
Use the Rope
The rope is 5 squares long. Each movement on the rope requires 2 points of movement. So most of you will have to spend two move actions to get across the rope. EACH move action (not each square moved), each move action requires you to make a DC10 Athletics Check. If you succeed, you can move.
If you fail by less than 5, you cannot move -- you're clinging to the rope, but you haven't fallen.
If you fail by more than 5, YOU FALL.
(If by chance you fall and you are next to the cliff edge, you can try to catch yourself - see below)
**IF you take damage while you are climbing across the rope, you have to make a new Athletics Check (DC 10 / DC15 if you're bloodied), fail by any amount and you fall, succeed and you're still on the rope.
CATCHING YOURSELF FROM FALLING
You are allowed to make EITHER a regular Saving Throw (DC 10) or a new Athletics Check (DC 15) to catch hold of the edge and just hang there. You would need to spend another move action to pull yourself up.
...Could you look at Wild Focus. I'm a bit confused as to when it's used -- is it an interrupt when an enemy begins his first turn?
Also -- can skirmisher 1 go back a square without falling into the chasm?

Rive throws himself literally into the enemy. He lands a solid shoulder into both House Cannith soldiers. Sending them flying.
Maaten's partner is shocked at the move but is able to drop to all fours and avoid going over the edge.

Katsuye slides up to Maaten and buries her blade into him (while creeping him out at the same time). Thunder errupts from Atroes and blows Maaten's partner off the edge. His screams echo down the chasm as the thunder power fades. ().
Theeb slides up next to Atreos, sword and shield ready to aide his defenses (Atreos gains a +2)
The lead artificer shouts, "ENOUGH, end them quick! Don't hold back, our surprise for Cordus is done with now." When he begins his turn, Rive's mental tug pulls him from the edge (save: ), he goes falling into the chasm. There is a flash of light and he is standing once again on the horizontal surface. He growls, pulls a rod from his belt, and sends an explosion of energy into the middle of your party. The second one follows his lead, pulls a small cube from his belt and throws it at Rive.

Atreos and Aurr gang up on the second arificer. (Aurr, you would've hit him, but he's got a bit of cover from your ranged attacks there... you just missed). Cog misses his target, but still curses Maaten.
Maaten grunts, smiles at Katsuye, and then goes after Rive trying to maneuver him into the pit. He's not nearly as successful.
The remaining Skirmisher removes a glowing tipped bolt and sends it towards Katsuye. But she's able to bring her shield up just in time, nearly getting hit by the crossbow. "Frak! We're not in good shape here. They out number us!"

Rive tries to get his longsword past Maaten's defenses, but it's no good. The two lock sword and shield. Meanwhile Atreos scores a double hit on the atrificer and skirmisher on the other side of the chasm! Lightning and thunder echo across the gap. And Theeb, straight-faced and somber, continues his defense of Atreos ().
The lead Artificer, seeing Maaten taking a beating, releases a tiny magical/mechanical firefly that shoots towards his friend, and Maaten seems energized from the experience. Then he levels his rod at Katsuye, sending a beam of blackish energy at her. His companion pulls a similar rod from his belt and levels and explosive shot into the group.

Aurr's shot would have hit the crossbow-armed skirmisher, but the rocks around him cover him just enough and the Aggravating Force slams into his cover.

Maaten sees Rive on the edge of the cliff and shifts closer to him with a wicked grin. After the beating he's just taken, he should really pause and drink one of his healing potions, but bloodlust must take over because he really wants to end Rive. "Say hi to Kev if you see him down there." Maaten levels his shoulder into Rive hoping to send him into the chasm, but Rive's battletraining allows him to stand his ground.
The last skirmisher slides over to get a clean shot at Katsuye, takes aim, and sends another glowing bolt towards her. The shot hits and a purplish cloud of dust settles over Katsuye, clouding her vision.

"Go and Help Rive! The Host will protect me!"
Atreos send a thunder strike across the chasm missing the artificer, but sending echos deep into the darkness (that chasm sounds deep). Theeb moves forward and readies himself to catch Rive should he fall ()
The leader directs his remaining troops, "I'll take the one climbing, you finish the shadow-wielder!".

When Scott and I were working on Atreos, he was a bit wishy-washy on his gods. He had picked a phb god that Eberron didn't use, Ioun. I gave him the option of finding a single Host God or pick the Dragon's God equivalent, Io. He sounded okay with the Dragon God Io -- which would definitely set him apart from the group and its strange (weak and young) human gods...
Your choice -- he's your character now.
"Hang in there Katsuye!! You too Rive!!!"
Here's his save: (Phew!)
He's at 19 h.p. now -- so not quite bloodied.

Hi there. You all might consider running away now.
I sneer slightly at the skirmisher in front of me and fight the immobilization holding me still...as I realize the futility I start grimacing with the effort.

Two things:
1) ANYTIME you are given: "Spend a Healing Surge" and you don't have any left, you gain 1hp (it's a small rull in healing a dying character). This is true if a healer cast a spell on you, if you drink a healing potion, or if you spend a second wind. If you are asked to spend a surge and don't have one, you get 1 hp.
2) You still get the +2 to all Defenses too! (You just wouldn't get the full surge value).

As Rive tries to move around the Lead Artificer, the House Cannith arcanist reaches out with his blasting rod, the tip glowing bright yellow, and strikes it across Rive's chest...

Theeb starts across the rope to help defend Rive and Katsuye. He follows Rive's lead, climbing across and then leaping to the ledge.
"Agreed! We need to go. Meet back with Terris, either he's succeeded or we make our stand at the gate. Bron, take out the rope, you (), keep them glued down. We're going. GO!" The leader finishes directing his men, slaps his last healing firefly onto his arm, tries to move around Rive, and then finally sends the familiar blackish energy ray towards Rive. The other artificer, ignoring Katsuye, directs his blast at the rope bridge, hoping to strand half the party on the other side.
Total Damage: none
Brown (dirt floor) = normal movement
Grey (stone-worked floor) = normal movement
Cream/White (Rocks) = if it fills the square, you cannot enter it -- Rocks block all line of sight and line of effect
There is a rope from H13 to I7, it takes an Athetics Check to climb across the rope.
The BLACK ZONE is the Chasm! It is 15 - 20 feet across, you would need to make an Athletics Check to jump it.
Orange Dots indicate marked by Rive.
Purple Dots indicate cursed by Cog.
Red Dots indicate bloodied enemies (bloodied players are NOT indicated)

Jumping: At its closest point it's 15' across.
With a running start (move 2 sq ahead of time) you need to get above a DC20 Athletics Check to get to the other side.
If you fail but get at least a 15DC, you are allowed to try to catch yourself on the opposite ledge (see below)
If you failed your original jump check and didn't get at least a 15 -or- if you fail to catch yourself, YOU FALL.
Use the Rope:
The rope is 5 squares long. Each movement on the rope requires 2 points of movement. So most of you will have to spend two move actions to get across the rope. EACH move action (not each square moved), each move action requires you to make a DC10 Athletics Check. If you succeed, you can move.
If you fail by less than 5, you cannot move -- you're clinging to the rope, but you haven't fallen.
If you fail by more than 5, YOU FALL.
(If by chance you fall and you are next to the cliff edge, you can try to catch yourself - see below)
**IF you take damage while you are climbing across the rope, you have to make a new Athletics Check (DC 10 / DC15 if you're bloodied), fail by any amount and you fall, succeed and you're still on the rope.
**Note: while climbing you grant combat advantage.
CATCHING YOURSELF FROM FALLING
You are allowed to make EITHER a regular Saving Throw (DC 10) or a new Athletics Check (DC 15) to catch hold of the edge and just hang there. You would need to spend another move action to pull yourself up.
