Guys in the back you can shuffle your token where you want, within reason. Say, as far up as where Janna is. And one round's worth of pre buffs or other preparations. I'm going to put the initiative in blocks.
As Leoven gets closer he sees that this cleric follows a rare death god from a distant land called Da-Jin. Da-Jin has a small following in the nearby city of Endhome.
Additional info, no take ten:
DC 20 Know: Local or History:
The cult of Da-Jin is one in transition from neutral to evil. Thus, evil clerics of Da-Jin can choose the Death and Evil domains instead of the Repose and Knowledge domains. Clerics of Da-Jin can be within one step of true neutral or within one step of neutral evil as regards their alignment.
DC 25 Knowledge Religion:
This particular priest, judging by his symbols and tattoos, seems to belong to an interesting sect within the cult who are evil, but nonetheless channel positive energy.
Wait...what? Leoven moves to search for cover (5 ft south), draw his shield (move action) and ready an action start casting Summon monster if the other group do something hostile(standad action, and would require a second standard the next turn)
We were just talking a moment ago!, why are we going to fight!?

The deep gnome reappears as his spell fades. But the rogue goes to ground, hiding among the tall grass and tree stump. Once in deep, he casts a spell upon himself and snake scales form armour around his body before they fade.

Round 1
Seeing the ferocious assault from the pair of half-orcs so effective against the paladin, Damien decides to change focus. Moving so the tree roots provide cover against the bulk of the riders he begins shouting order.
"Janna, Leo, Jerrid, on those orcs now. Put the bastards down fast! Deputy, Sam! Harass those riders, we need to limit support fire. Keep a stump between you and them! ...Where the hell is Lannet?!"

Seeming to anticipate her move, one of the half-orcs comes flying over the fallen tree, sending a blow into Kevezyat's side that shook her, but did not topple her.
Taking the pain stoically, Kevezyat brings her own weapon to bear, the metal whistling through the air...

As the slaver group mobilises, Vhillish is galvanized and brings his arbalest to bear on one of the half orc spearmen lumbering toward Janna and Kevezyat's position (The one not engaging Mistress Faen):

Lannet sprints across the battle field to try and get into a flanking position with Kevezyat or Jerrid.
I'd rather be fishing!!!!
He ends up adjacent to Tranda the wounded half-orc foot-soldier, but opens himself up to an attack with the longspear in order to close with his quarry.
Tranda is still reeling from Vhillish's and Janna's attacks when the rabbid hobbit explodes from the grass like a tiger, deftly avoiding his reflexive thrust of the longspear.
Vorgya the rogue signals to the other riders and calmly issues her command. Her voice projects loudly across the battlefield but she sounds relaxed, almost disinterested.
"Execute crescent formation. Jarra.. Trick of the Light!"
Jarra walks a few steps closer to the fallen tree and holds up a globe of blue energy in her palm. In a flash the globe expands to a radius of 20' and disappears, leaving the air shimmering and blurry in it's wake. Forms within the area become impossible to discern.

This is just obscuring mist, I just felt like reflavoring it as "trick of the light"
The half-orc cleric begins to cast...

...and Sam let's his bolt fly into the shimmering globe, trying his best to hit the spot where he remembers the cleric was. A cry of pain confirms the halfling has found his mark!
The two rogues and the mysterious elven bowman dash into the globe of shimmering blue light and dissapear. The elf soon emerges at the edge of the globe, in a position by the fallen tree. His bow is in one hand hanging by his side, but he seems to be preparing to cast a spell with his other empty hand.
The two rogues and the half-orc cleric are no-where to be seen, lost in the haze.

With a quick step forward, Kevezyat bats aside the half-orc's longspear with her sword, then using the momentum from that movement spins the weapon about to smash into the lumbering warrior...

Round 2
Leoven finish his spell conjuring eagles (summon monster II) from the upper planes to attack the Half orc near Kev and then he moves readying his shield and looking for cover int he tree behind kev.
As Leoven is concluding his spell, the elven monk Darkral gestures and tendrils of black smoke form, pulling the eagles back into the realm from which they were summoned.
DC 14 Dispel Check:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
The dispel fails. Leo's summon is too powerful for the monk. The eagles pull through and tear the half-orc foot soldier to shreds.

Wow, and the religious types bring the pain! Maybe there is something to this divine favor thing after all :P
Round 2
"Nice work! Focus fire on the elf! Kev, Lannet, there's another one hunkered down on his left! Not to mention..."
Leaping atop a nearby root to gain a clear angle Damien sweeps his hammer down upon the crouched shape of the rogue attempting to hide at the edge of the swirling light, "...one more here!"
