OH Grakl was out of the range of the moan? good, cuz I would have failed it...
I will be dodging, and then do an acrobatic roll between the fighters legs to chew on the cleric's neck.

Grakl darts from around the corner and charges straight at the Knight, who braces himself for a collision. At the last moment, the wererat dives forward, curling into a ball and rolling between the armoured man’s legs. Springing to his feet, he leaps towards the cleric with bared fangs, however the priest staggers to one side and avoids the attack. The exertion is too much for him however and he slumps to his knees, still clutching at the blade protruding from his neck as he sinks into unconsciousness, the savage wound making the floor slick with blood.
As the carnage erupts around him, the Elf stares, horrified at Milaniel’s awful visage. Overcome by panic, he turns and flees back the way they had come, taking the long, bamboo pole with him and rapidly plunging the corridor into darkness. As their light source disappears, the Halfling swears loudly. ”Ferado! Get us some light!” orders the knight as he and the fighter hold their swords out before them, doing their best to fight in the darkness.
The halfling drops his bow and kneels down, rummaging in his backpack and producing both a lantern and a flint and steel as he frantically begins trying to produce some light. The knight turns to where he last saw Grakl and swings his sword blindly at the wererat, however it sails harmlessly over his head.
Knight's attack on Grakl. (1d20+5=7, 1d8+4=7)
The fighter steps forward towards where he last saw Cenciarch, also swinging his sword wildly, hoping that he will somehow connect. Due more to luck than anything else, he is rewarded as his longsword catches the tiny dragon’s wing.
Fighter attacks Cenciarch. (1d20+5=23, 1d8+4=10)
Concealment - fighter needs greater than 50 to confirm his hit... (1d100=72)
what penalties will Grakl take for a full attack with his natural weapons?
Take a 5ft step and then
raking them down both the rogue and the fighter, (two-weapon fighting with natural weapons -4/-8)
Rogue:1d20+11=20-4=16, Fighter:1d20+11=23-8=15 Bah think I might have missed...but here's damage 1d3+1+3d6=18, 1d3+1+3d6=16

Milaniel drifts over, til she is directly over the halfing. Leaning down, she whispers into his ear, "No, no, my friend, it will be so much funnier if you let them die with the lights out..."
Cenciach yipes as the sword finds its mark. "Owww!!!" The wyrmling starts crying, but moves to attack.

Grakl slips in between the rogue and fighter, slashing each with his claws. The fighter is grievously wounded, the gash opening an artery in his neck which continues bleeding as he collapses to the floor. Clearly, he had already suffered some injuries and was on the verge of collapse. The rogue, however somehow senses Grakl's attack as it arrives and twists himself free from mortal danger, suffering only a minor slash to the cheek.

As Milaniel casts her spell, the rogue wavers, almost surrendering to hysteria before he is able to bring himself under control. Undeterred, he continues with his efforts to return light to the dwindling group.
Rogue attempts to resist Milaniel's hideous laughter. (1d20+6=17)
Cenciach yipes as the sword finds its mark. "Owww!!!" The wyrmling starts crying, but moves to attack.
You are finally able to breathe on the knight without affecting Milaniel or Grakl - blasting him as he whirls back and forth in the darkness, struggling to locate his foe. More by luck than anything else, he ducks under the line of fire just as you release your attack, escaping the worst of it, though still sustaining some damage.

DC 25:
The rogue finally gets his lantern alight, the small flame springing to life and filling the corridor with light once more. Looking around and taking in the situation, he makes a sudden dash for the shaft through which you entered, slipping away from Grakl and Milaniel as he begins calling out at the top of his lungs. "HELP! HELP! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! LOWER THE ROPE! A THOUSAND GOLD PIECES TO WHOEVER COMES TO HELP US!"
The knight remains steadfast, attacking Cenciach as he slowly inches his way down the passage towards the way out of the dungeon. The dragon is struck once more, this time a sharp blow across the neck.
Yuhm Yuhm is on the floor, rocking himself in a fetal position. "No more .. I be good .. no more," he repeats over and over.
Cenciach perks up. "Guys, you hear that? It sounded like a scream! And...a squelch?" He yipes again as the knight hits him, and decides to withdraw.DC 20 perception (sound based):

"Milly! Grakl!" He calls. "Get out of my line of fire!"
How did the rogue light a lantern when he was threatened? and how did he move away so far without triggering AoOs?
Grakl's claws want to know...
Can he grab the dagger while he's moving to throw it at the rogue?

As the rogue fumbles with the lamp, Grakl slashes at him.
Grakl catches the rogue with his claw, cutting him slightly once more as the lantern springs to life.

"Milly! Grakl!" He calls. "Get out of my line of fire!"
Cenciarch remains in place, rising up ten feet to hover right by the roof.
Then Grakl will forgo the dagger, with the lantern around the corner... (30ft bright light, 60ft shadowy illumination,) I can rehide and attack from the darkness...
Sneak:1d20+24=44 Good luck sword-boy

"Hyooooooman....we're out to get you, and since we just came down the hole, there's no one up there to save you now..."
Milaniel flies after the rogue.
As the rogue lights the lantern, Milaniel also takes the opportunity to attack him, her ghostly touch making his skin scorch and wither. As he runs, screaming into the entryway, the ghost drifts after him menacingly.

"Hyooooooman....we're out to get you, and since we just came down the hole, there's no one up there to save you now..."
The knight is holding his sword out, trying to ward off any enemies as he backs towards the entry well. He doesnt see Grakl until it's too late though and the wererat lunges out of the shadows, once more inflicting a savage wound with his claws.
The rogue continues screaming for help and those in the entry shaft can hear voices calling down from far above in response. Turning desperately to face Milaniel, the halfling slashes at her with his sword, wimpering slightly as it sails right through her with absolutely no effect.
The knight extricates himself from the fight with Grakl and Cenciarch, withdrawing carefully as he moves back into the light. He adds his call to that of the rogue, calling out to those above and begging for assistance.
Cenciach flies over . "Move, Milly! You're still in my line of fire!" He complains.
"You missed," Milaniel tells the rogue with a smile. She then slashes at him with her hand, before stepping back to clear the area.
"I can hear the blood, dripping dripping down your back..."
Grakl move out of the darkness...
he eyes the lantern with smoldering hate.
Next turn I will move to flank the rogue. and then tear him to pieces.
Mechanics:
Next turn, Cenciach sighs.
"That's it, I'm going after the wizard. Have fun without me!" He flies off.
"CENS! NO!!! REMEMBER THE SQUiSHY CRUNCHY NOISE??!?!?!?"
"Cens attack the knight, give him what for...from above!!!"
"Cens attack the knight, give him what for...from above!!!"
Cenciach rolls his eyes.
"Come on, the wizard probably just broke his leg or something. I hope he's a conjurer..."
"Kill that knight and I'll help you find that spellbook...even if we have to pull it out of some beasties belly!!"
Milaniel's corrupting touch misses the rogue, as she then glides aways from him a short distance, taunting him as he brandishes his useless weapon. Grakl suddenly looms out of the darkness also, menacing the rogue who turns left and right, feeling himself totally surrounded. Meanwhile Cenciarch flies around the corner towards where the wizard disappeared to.
As he stumbles into the pool of light at the bottom of the shaft, the knight sinks to his knees, still clutching his bleeding wound as he lapses into unconsciousness. The rogue lets out an agonised scream, pleading for help from whoever is at the top of the shaft as he moves and launches a desperate attack on Grakl. Although the strike hits, the steel of his weapon is unable to hurt the wererat, leaving a mark but doing no significant damage. At this point, Yhum Yhum and Saamasal are able to shake off the debilitating effects of Milaniel's dreadful moan and the four of you are able to overcome the rogue, surrounding him and overwhelming him this round.
Cenciarch has disappeared around the corner and you can see whoever is above you beginning to maneuver some sort of platform over the opening high above you, some faint voices calling out words of encouragement to those below. You catch a glimpse of a rope and some form of contraption designed to lower the makeshift elevator down the shaft. It looks large, almost filling the shaft - you would guess it could take ten or twelve people if fully laden. At this stage all you can see is it wobbling uncertainly as some faceless enemies begin piling in to come to the aid of the deceased adventurers.

"Darn it!" Cenciach shouts. He then notices the wizard within, and feels nauseous. He yells back to the others:
"Uh...guys, there's a gelatinous cube! It's sorta...anybody got any fire?"
"More are coming," Milaniel calls back. "We must push through the cube before they arrive, or find some way to lure it in here to distract our pursuers!" She looks at Yhum Yhum and Saamasal and appears genuinely abashed. "Forgive me, warriors. I... did not consider the effect I would have on you."
"Quick, find some alchemist's fire amongst these fools"
"we need time to get this gear...a little fire would prevent that platform from holding people..."
"That was ... fun!"
"Yhum Yhum, grab knight's and priest's weapons!! Get whatever armor you can"
Grakl grabs the rogue's weapons. belt, pouches, backpack, etc.
"Cenc, what else can you tell us about the cube?, We can lure it to large room? Yes, yes? Is spellbook in cube?"
"sam...umm...grab, whatever you think you need...can you stop platform with some Githi mindtrick?"
"Millaniel, can you do the "scary face" to those above? poke head thru platform and scare the yellow out of them..."
"No, I'll take the knight's weapon."
"I have nothing that would be effective against an ooze."
