Lewill ducks into the mists surrounding Talus and utters his own incantation here. Nothing so grand as Talus' magics, just a minor spell of protection.
Calhoun slowly turns and looks at the thug who just hit him.
"That...was not a wise move!" he says and fires an arrow from his bow.

Darcy waits till the last of the three goes by, then lurches from her hiding spot spear in hand.

Point
Sneaky Sneak
But finds she was too excited, and the thug bobbed when she thought he was going to weave.
As Calhoun fires his bow, both of the thugs attempt to smack him with their crowbars, one of them hitting him squarely and leaving the Ranger on the edge of consciousness.
Dragomir runs, charging, at the nearest foe, seeking to cut them in half.

Dragomir takes a knee and loads his crossbow.
The two thugs on Calhoun attempt to clobber him, but they both miss their marks, even with the Ranger being barely conscious.
A character with 0 hit points, or one who has negative hit points but has become stable and conscious, is disabled. A disabled character may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions, but he can still take swift, immediate, and free actions). He moves at half speed. Taking move actions doesn’t risk further injury, but performing any standard action (or any other action the GM deems strenuous, including some free actions such as casting a Quicken Spell spell) deals 1 point of damage after the completion of the act. Unless the action increased the disabled character’s hit points, he is now in negative hit points and dying.

The other three turn on Darcy, flanking her. Only the stocky man hits, but he slices her leg viciously.
Heroes GO!
Talus steps out of the mist to observe the carnage.
"What do you think Lewill - time to return to the temple? Our hasty friends are...likely doomed."
Talus makes his characterisiticc toothy grin.
"Or...we make a stand here."
The half orc holds his falchion out in front of him and, eyes closed mutters an unintelligible doggerel tune that sounds half imprecation and half beseechment...
Lewill stares out in dismay at the scene unfolding before him - knowing it was HIS plan that led to this.
"No Talus we make our stand here. If we can draw these thugs to us it will give our friends time to escape...I hope. Plus we can...bloody their noses here...make then think twice!"
Lewill steps out from the obscuring mist and shouts out to the thugs, "Hey you! I wanted to see where the smell of horse manure is coming from. At first I though it was from your steeds, but it seems I was mistaken!" in a taunting voice.
Darcy screams in pain and tries he best to run away, tumbling and dodging to the best of her ability.
Shoot then move forward 30 and take a knee.
Cursing he hopes it will distract the attackers.
Darcy screams in pain and tries he best to run away, tumbling and dodging to the best of her ability.
Talus blesses himself and his closest companions, while Lewill readies to cast an offensive spell, in case any of their foes come closer.
Dragomir shoots a bolt at the ones engaged with Calhoun, but the projectile misses its mark. He advances a few feet toward their foes.
Darcy safely tumbles away from her opponents!
Calhoun GO!
Dragomir reloads and moves up another 20 before taking a knee again (so that should be 40 ft closer)
Having been knocked onto his butt, Calhoun shakes off some of the pain and disorganization and attempts to retreat to a safe location.
