After the gates close, Izera says "Good, the abominations can't escape us now." She isn't suprised when Tinker goes to examine the gates and waits for him to finish his inspection.
After another mile or so of travel, tall shapes loom from the dense fog, and the muddy ground underfoot gives way to slick cobblestones. A dilapidated wooden sign reads "Welcome to the Village of Barovia." As you grow closer, the shapes resolve into tenements whose windows are boarded, broken, and lightless. Nothing moves nearby, though the fog limits visibility. Faint sounds, as of something groaning, echo hollowly from somewhere deeper in the village.
Assuming you follow the sounds and move along the main road, a couple of blocks away...
The streets are choked with mist, limiting vision only a few dozen feet. The buildings here at the edge of town look abandoned, burned out, or barricaded. Garbage litters the ground, and a carrion stench assaults your nose. Ahead, an overturned haycart blocks the street.
Please pick a square to be in from columns E-H, rows 15-16.

Still nothing.
Danea will take G-15, drawing her weapon.
"I'll move ahead to draw them out..." says Danea as she draws her Sunblade, although it currently sheds no light.
If given the chance I'll move to G-9, listening for which direction the sounds are coming from.

Izera pulls her own blade out. "Be careful Danea." the githzerai says.
Danea looks back at Izera and smiles, replying "My fate has never been my own..." and then turns back towards the intersection, her sword helded low.

Through the fog you can barely make out the rotten forms tearing at the flesh of the cart horse. They look up with lifeless eyes at your approach.

Izera darts forward, fullblade in hand. As she reaches the intersection, however, she pauses and calls on the Raven Queen's power and golden light washes down over one of the zombies.
Move to E9, Abjure Undead on Z1, targets will. 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18. On hit: 4d10 + 12 ⇒ (9, 9, 1, 1) + 12 = 32, and I pull it to E8 and it's immobilized until EOMNT. On miss: half damage and I pull it to E5.

Garret raises his dagger and a small point of light falls to the ground near the zombies. Then, a burst of light and the undead writhe in a close approximation of pain.
Use Blazing Starfall on Z2 and Z3(vs Reflex, Radiant damage): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 181d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 161d4 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Don't you hate it when the damage is higher than both the attack rolls?
None of the zombies seem affected by Garret's attack. Garret missed Z2 (18 vs. Reflex) and Z3 (16 vs. Reflex).
Another corpse staggers out of the narrow alley, it's eyes sizzle with cursed power and it launches dark energy at Izera. Grave bolt vs. Izera's Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 341d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 necrotic damage and immobilized (save ends).
Dark energy washes over Izera, leaving her unable to move. D crit Izera for 13 necrotic damage and Izera is immobilized (save ends).

"Izera, I will try to help you move," Tinker declares. "This may also help."
The warforged extracts a tiny cube, no more than an inch on a side, from some hidden compartment and places it in his crossbow, launching it at the new-come undead. Even as he does so, he rises almost imperceptibly from the ground on a field of tiny metal spheres which scatter fifteen feet in all directions, similarly lifting his nearby companions and allowing them to slide to new positions.
Minor: Slick Concoction: Each ally in close burst three slides 5 and gains +4 Ref TEOMNT. As Tinker's player is unfamiliar with the others' tactics, I'd rather let the other players (Phenia, Danea, and Garrett) choose their locations, if that's ok.
Minor: Load crossbow.

I think you are now my favorite person, Tinker :)
Ghetto: I'll take G-10 please!
Danea charges forward, having been spurred on by Tinker, and rushes to face the strange zombie that emerged from the allyway, shouting "Your undoing is upon you!" as she ignites her Sunblade to a full 20 squares of light.
Free Action: Sunblade sheds 20 squares of light. I know it's not smart, but Danea is impetuous.
Tinker: Danea has a lot of healing, is very very durable, 3 multi marking abilities, and damage reduction for allies that get hit by creatures marked by my Divine Challenge. I tend to try to mark as many creatures as I can, and use self healing to keep me going if the healers are tapped out or need to do other things. I like to act as an anchor or sorts in battle.

While we're on the subject, Garret mainly does high-damage area attacks and single target attacks that usually do more damage with CA. I prefer staying at range, but I can usually last in melee thanks to Second Chance, Swift Parry, and if need be I can just get out of there with my Spatial Trip or Blinding Flare. Still, if only one of you is fighting something and I can't use an area attack on it I won't be doing any real damage.
Garret, I take that to mean you don't want the slide.
Tinker helps his allies spread out, and then fires a crossbow bolt into the gaunt creature. Tinker hit D (30 vs. Reflex) for 15 force damage and allies adjacent to D gain +1 power bonus to AC.
Danea's sword lights up as she closes with the gaunt creature, but does little to drive off the fog. The sword lights, but for reasons unknown only 10 squares of bright light.
Phenia - I think you might be looking at the wrong map. At H11 you would be right next to D. So, unable to curse Z1 because D would be closer, and you would provoke from D. I'll update the map as soon as you let me know (this type of mapping is a lot of work and it's a new link with each update).

Phenia advances and throws green fire through the fog, but it harmlessly connects with the cobblestones. Phenia missed D (22 vs. Reflex).

I'm going away for the weekend and probably won't be able to post until Monday.
I don't have time to fix the map, but Z6 should be in square G8. That's why it didn't attack.
Danea calls upon the protection of Bahamut to shield Phenia from the attacks of the zombies, blunting the force of the zombies attack. Then with a fiendish smile on her normally innocent face, she raises her arms to the heavens, the sunblade pointing straight up and calls down a massive arc of lightning, which strike her blade, sending bolts of lightning thru the ranks of the zombies.
"Send me to Celestial if you can, accursed ones!" cries the strangely excited girl.
Looking around wildly for her companions, Danea shouts out to Phenia and Izera, "Stay close to me, I will shield you!"
Stand close to me if you can.

Danea nods grimly as she prepares to take on the zombie horde, her blade shining with radiant light...
Izera steps back and cleanly slices the head from one of the zombies. Izera hit (32 vs. AC with cover) and destroyed Z8.
