If the others agree Drivish will volunteer to climb first, and if Qadim-sul can fly he should probably go last to watch for trouble, or at least hover right next to Rin, in case of the inevitable.
Unfortunately I can only fly for a short time (1 move action) and short distance (8 squares), but I can float harmlessly to the ground if I'm not on solid ground at the end of the move (at least that's how I read the power). If we're all going to climb, I'd rather do that too and save the power for later.
Qadim-sul agrees to take the last position, scanning the floor below for danger.

As the party begins to descend the cliff-face, the more perceptive among you discern a small flock of half a dozen or so small (D&D small, not minute), scaly, winged creatures launch themselves from part of the carving below and begin to circle around, averaging around 50' from the climbers.
Actions and Init, please, I think I've used most of the pre-rolls, and this is more fun

"Why didn't my parents teach me to ride those things? Life would be a whole lot easier."
Rin clutches his staff firmly, but waits to see if the drakes attack before doing anything drastic, more concerned with not falling off the cliff than anything else.
Init (1d20 2=20). Wouldn't you know it? Decent init roll just when he wants it least. Rin delays until after the drakes.

Initiative = 22
Drivish whispers through gritted teeth, "Oh, good... Try to get back up."
How far down are we? If there is solid footing within 50 feet or so, Drivish makes for it, or encourages those closest to the top to get back up. Otherwise, he delays.

Drivish is about 40' down, the others strung out above him (some of them barely out of the cave). There's footing ab about 30', and again at about 50'.

In that case...
After telling the others to make for solid ground, Drivish climbs down to the ledge (at 50') and readies his halberd.
Ready Reaping Strike 1d20+8 = 28; damage = 14, and mark the creature.

Lafiel climbs back up to the 30' ledge. Eying the drakes, she aims for one with a dagger, throwing it with precision and hitting one of the drakes.
Initiative (1d20+9=14)
On the unlikely occasion that a drake did not move until Lafiel's turn, she will aim for him (+2 to Hit roll, +2d8 to damage roll due to CA). If all of them moved, she'll aim for the biggest one
Sly Flourish (1d20+9=28, 1d4+6=9)
Barshevy struggles back up to the tunnel opening.
Init 1d20=7
If I'm in range of the creatures, I'll cast Sacred Flame (1d20+3=18 vs Ref) and impart the 3 temporary hit points to Rin.

Initiative (1d20+1=16)
At the top of the cliff, Qadim-sul readies his crossbow and fires at the closest drake, cursing as his bolt flies off into the darkness. Attack (1d20+3=4), Dmg 1d6=2

Sorry for the delay -- will try to start the fight this afternoon - Fargrim?
Init (1d20 1=13)
Fargrim is barely out of the cave.

Another stall note -- my life has gone completely berserk lately, and doesn't look to slow down before at least next Wed. If I can get the fight started, I can carry it out, but that won't happen tonight and it might be a few days yet. Apologies.

At least Rin isn't bouncing down a cliff face yet.
Hang in there, Pat. (And you too, Rin.)
Female Human Rogue 2
Hope everything is fine, Pat.

I can wait. Remember Pat, don't game angry. Only the Pc's suffer.
