Okay - the plan is really simple. Psionic hole makes manifesting on Delilah really ineffective, so hopefully I have the time to get throught this. Also, he doesn't have any form of energy resistance - so I can smack him with call lightning with impunity...
Start at the default and cast shield of faith (+3 deflection) and then call lightning. Then move out and ready to cast Doom on him on sight and in range.
Once the ready triggers, call down lightning and move away. If I get through all 6 bolts and he is still alive, cast divine favor, draw my bow and start shooting.
That should be it. I'm hoping I am not missing something important here...
Grr, Delilah can cast Invisibility. Beezel will have to try to get her to use hers first.
Beezel starts in the in the front corner of the starting box (roll 1d2 to determine which one), with a power stone of Inertial Armor in his hand.
Buff Rounds (in order) Round 1: Beezel activates power stone of Inertial Armor and draws a scroll of Reduce Person
Round 2: Beezel activates scroll of Reduce Person and draws a scroll of Expeditious Retreat
Round 3: Beezel activates scroll of Expeditious Retreat and draws a scroll of Invisibility
Combat PRIORITY: In combat, Beezel avoids melee at all costs, using Tumble to avoid being adjacent to his enemies, and using Escape Artist to get out of all grapples, entanglement, or other restraints.
If Beezel doesn't know where Delilah is yet, he moves to the center of the arena and walks clockwise around the very center wall, shouting loudly to get Delilah's attention and hoping to trigger a response from her that will end her Invisibility.
Once Beezel knows her location, if he's more than 110' away from her, he casts Invisibility from the scroll and moves to the nearest cover. His next goal is to get within 110' of her.
When he's 110' or less away, he will manifest an Enlarged (using Psionic Focus) Energy Ray (Electricity) augmented to 7pp after a +2 surge (1pp + 4pp augment + free 2pp wilder surge). Note that unless Beezel succumbs to Enervation, he gets Surging Euphoria (+1 attack, +1 damage, and +1 saves) for 2 rounds after the surge.
Beezel takes cover within the center of the arena if possible and manifests the same thing again, then draws his dorje of Enlarged Crystal Shard and attacks until Delilah is down, using cover to avoid being targeted by spells and summons if possible.
Beezel ignores all summoned monsters, using Tumble to get away from them if they are adjacent to him.
Init: 21 Beezel Starts in the South box holding a stone of IA 17 Delilah Starts in the North box with her buckler on
Round 1 & 2 Beezel buffs with IA and Reduce Person Delilah buffs with Shield of Faith and Call lightning
Round 3: Beezel Buffs with Expy Retreat and draws a scroll of invis Delilah finishes Call Lighting and moves to the edge of her start box and starts hunting Beezel
Beezel 22/22 hp (Inertial Armor) (Reduce Person 12) (Expy Retreat 13) Delilah 42/42 hp (Shield of Faith +3 61) (Call Lightning 6/6 63)
Round 4: Beezel doesn’t know where Delilah is so makes for the central pillars and yells to indicate his location (LOS blocked) Delilah moves towards the sound and can see Beezel (Hide 12 vs Spot 23) and sends lighting at him (R: 17 fail, Dmg:8)
Beezel 14/22 hp (Inertial Armor) (Reduce Person 12) (Expy Retreat 13) Delilah 42/42 hp (Shield of Faith +3 61) (Call Lightning 5/6 63) (Map Note: I can’t setup 2 LOS checks, but Beezel didn’t have LOS till after Delilah moved)
Round 5: Beezel vanishes and moves to get a better shot (invisibility) Delilah readies to zap on sight of him.
Round 6: Beezel Fires off an Energy Ray (doesn’t need focus as in close range) (Atk: 19 (forgot +3 from elec ray) vs FFTouch Enervate: Nope) Beezel feels the psionic weight of Delilah and syphons off more pp to allow the power to go through (Psionic Hole feat, +5pp I’m assuming hitting and doing damage is a good thing) (Dmg: 26) Delilah’s ready goes off (Rflx: 11 Dmg: 13)
Beezel 1/22 hp (Inertial Armor) (Reduce Person 12) (Expy Retreat 13) Delilah 16/42 hp (Shield of Faith +3 61) (Call Lightning 4/6 63)
Round 7: (Delilah flips to first due to Ready interrupting Beezel’s actions) Delilah zaps and Beezel goes down
Delilah wins and gains 1800xp/2000gp Delilah cast Shield of Faith and Call Lightning
Beezel Loses and gains 600xp/666gp Beezel used: Stone of IA, Scrolls of Reduce Person, Invisibility Beezel used 10 pp (5 Energy Ray, 5 Psi Hole)
Comments: @Telin: I forgot about Doom, sorry @Dgallaty: I think you missed Psi Hole on Telin's sheet and it cost you. That and Telin went zappy instead of Summon Happy
Start in the default area with powerstone of thicken skin in hand. Round 1, use it for +1 AC, then manifest Animal Affinity for Dexterity, then a 4 PP Vigour. Finish with a powerstone of skate. Move out, calling out a just challaenge to my foe and drawing my dorje of entangling ectoplasm. Ready to use it on him each round. Once found, close and use the dorje on him. Once he is hit by it, close and use swarm of crystals (4 PP) on him until he is quite dead.
If out of PP for swarm of crystals, use my Dorje Crystal Shard.
Use Elan Resistance any time a saving throw is required.
Refrsh Vigour if under 10 HP.
If in an area of entanglement, try to get out in whichever way gets me on the same side as him, but go ahead and fire entangling ectoplasm at him while in the area if posssible to do so and I can't get out and fire this round. With Elan reistance, my Reflex save should be +11 with the dex bonus.
Okay - sewer is not so good for a cleric who wants to entangle his opponent...
Start off at the default with loaded crossbow in hand.
Cast shield of faith and move out and stop at corners to attempt to hide, but keep moving until he is spotted.
Once in sight, cast doom (repeat if he saves), and then, if in melee, cast inflict moderate wounds (dropping a hold person) defensively. If not in melee, fire the crossbow and reload.
After the first inflict, continue using spontaneous inflicts until he goes down. Use the 2nd hold person, and spiritual weapon and then cause fear. If he's still standing (and so am I), use 5ft steps and fire the crossbow at him. If a 5t step isn't safe, move a full amount (drawing the AoO), then fire.
[Prefight locations and Initiative] Recht the Hammer starts in area 3 with powerstone of Thicken Skin in hand. Initiative 13. Gilli starts in area 4 with crossbow in hand. Initiative 6.

Ok, his concentration check is too good to try to ready against, so I'll just have to strangle him.
Start front and center with wand of expedious retreat in hand. Go ahead and stow my tower shield, I won't need it for touch AC and it will only stop me from touching him. Cast blur (no somantic components for spell failure). Then use my wand and move out, readying to use true strike when within either charging or move and attack range of Ephraim. Then grapple him to death with armour spikes. If he escapes from my grapple, re-grapple him.
If expedious retreat ends and I am not in melee or within basing or charging range, refresh from wand.
Well, his familiar shouldn’t be there, but that won’t really affect anything.
Well here is the plan: 1) Scout using the tower. 2) Go Hunting 3) Blast away
I have 9 pp to spend, but lets try not to use all of it, I’d like some for my last fight. Move out in a counter clockwise fashion, run first turn to base the tower I’m going for, Then use a move action and Up the Walls to get to the top and try to locate Dren. Try to remain hidden, but if he spots me, he spots me. Stay up there till I hear or see him, since I’m trying to locate him I’m hoping that I don’t trigger delay.
Once I spot him, use Up the Walls to go … Down the Walls and get back to street level. Try to avoid the middle area as I don’t want to get caught out in the open. If he is making a rush at me, find a hedge or house to use as cover.
If he is Magic Missiling me: Move in with my staff and attempt to Disarm him (Should be +4 for my 2handed vs his -4 for light weapon). If he picks it back up, then disarm him next round and then pick it up with my move action. (Yes I know I’m drawing tons of AoOs) Get away after that as he will probably switch to grappling
If he is going for a grapple: Move away from him, go up onto houses if needed using Up the Walls. Try to pull him to one of the balcony areas and then shoot him down. If i get grappled burn 4pp+2surge Swarm of Crystals (expend Focus for concentration, then just roll the conc check on the 2nd) and pray I roll well on damage)
Damage: Going for some 2pp+2surge Crystal shards and praying I don’t enervate. If I have to switch to melee, then I’ll switch to melee and hope I don’t have to do too much more damage to kill him off.
Notes: - Declare Dodge when I can. - If I see him cast a spell with no visible effect (looking for true strike), break LOS and move as far away as possible, I don’t want to get true strike/charge/grappled
Round 7 Dren decides to check out box 3. Ephraim sees Dren, but the overhang of the roof allows her to stay hidden herself [Hide 7 vs Spot -6]. She runs back down the wall and heads towards her foe.
Round 8 Dren moves closer, readying again. Ephraim doesn't know whether he intends to shoot or grapple, so closes with the intent to blast him.
Round 9 Dren moves in for the kill, spiking Ephraim with his armour spikes [attack: auto, Ephraim AoO 8: pitiful miss, grapple 14 vs 10: success, damage: 8] Ephraim [16/24] has little choice but to expend her focus, delivering a burst of deadly shards right into Dren [damage: 19].
Round 10 Dren [13/32] grapples for damage, impaling Ephraim again [17 vs 16: success, damage: 9]. Ephraim [7/24] struggles to concentrate on a second crystal swarm [19 vs DC 20+2: failure] and the power fizzles.
Round 11 Dren grapples some more [26 vs 25], battering Ephraim to the brink [6 damage]. Ephraim struggles to escape, but to no avail [11 vs 25].
Round 12 Dren finally wrangles a sumbission from the unfortunately Wilder [16 vs 10, min 4 damage].

Ok, I'm going to have to use running here. Fortuanatley, my Flat-Footed AC isn't bad, so this may work out.
Start in the back center of my box with shield and wand in hand. Use wand of divine favour and stow it. Then draw and drink a potion of shield of faith. Draw my sword and move out, taking total defense until he is seen.
Once he is seen, if he is using his bow and moving away, run to catch up. If his dogs are attack me and Absalar is keeping his distance, kill the dogs with my sword, then re-engage. Remeber I get +4 against his ranged attacks if I'm in melee. If dogs are attacking me and Absalar is as well, go for Absalar.
Once engaged with Absalar, kill him with my sword (or armour spikes if disarmed). We are almost perfectly evenly matched in a fight, but hopefully I'll come out on top. Thanks for running.
Right, Absalar might actually have something of a chance here. He'll have a hard chance hitting, but Yaron's LA leaves his health a bit lacking, and more importantly, he's slow.
Absalar will start front centre of his box, bow in hand, with his dogs flanking (and following) him. If he doesn't see Yaron, he'll use his Defensive Precognition and then Force Screen PLAs, and then move clockwise around the arena looking for him, staying closer to the centre than the outside.
His aim is to shoot and flee, staying always more than 60ft from Yaron, even if that means double-moving or Withdrawing away. He won't move back to beyond 140ft, but if he's already that far back he'll take the range penalty and keep shooting.
If Yaron Runs to pursue, order in the dogs and move away (to a location which Yaron can't Charge to). I think it's a move action per dog to order them in, so send one flee, then send the second next round. Regardless, keep shooting and fleeing, despite the -4 penatly. If Yaron is tripped, however, ready to shoot when he stands up to avoid the -4 prone penalty.
If he somehow manages to grapple, use Rage and grapple back for damage. If somehow cornered into melee, Rage and attack with flail. Always send in dogs in either of these cases.
Start Absalar starts in the east box. Yaron starts in the south box.
Initiatives Absalar: 5 Yaron: 3

Well, Anjin can start in the front corner of his box with his Dorje of Vigour in hand. He'll use a 3PP Expansion, then his dorje, and then stow it. Finally he'll draw and use Power Stones of Skate and Defensive Precognition before moving out clockwise along the path, drawing his kusari-gama as he goes.
When he gets to about (13,23) or equivalent, he'll turn off the path and head towards the narrow part of the river, which he'll attempt to clear with a running jump, before continuing to follow the path.
When his foe is seen, he'll move to adjacent and attack to trip with his kusari-gama (if he has to Charge to attack in one round, he will, but will then move to adjacent). If his foe doesn't threaten and is alone, his second attack and subsequent attacks will be to grapple (grappling for damage). Otherwise he'll keep tripping. If he loses his kusari-gama, he'll bash with his shield.
Given I don't know what I'm fighting, many contingencies: -Anjin will drop his kusari-gama to use his dorje if dropped to 15 HP or below. -If the creature turns out to have enlarged itself somehow, Anjin will not trip or grapple but will instead bash with his shield. If his temp HP from Vigour run out, he'll drop his kusari-gama, draw his dorje and use it again (rather than using the dorje only at 15 HP). -Against any Will-save-inducing affect, he'll use Empty Mind. -If the creature performs any action which reveals it to be the dreaded Vampire Bugbear (I'm hoping I will be able to tell if it has DR and fast healing, but failing that any kind of wall-walking, bats summoning or blood drinking should be a giveaway), Anjin will attack to grapple, then drag it to the water and dunk it in (establish a pin) until it is destroyed. Same applies to the Vampire Spawn.

start in the corner of the square closest to the center. Start holding a potion of shield of faith and falchion in hand.
Round one: Move out clock wise, use tattoo of My light.
Round two: keep moving out and chug potion of shield of faith.
Round three: keep moving out and tap tat of bio feed back.
Round four: Keep moving out and activate tattoo of force screen
Round five: Keep moving out and use tattoo of offensive precog
Round six: Draw universal solvent, call out to oponent and keep walking around the arena.
If oponent is encountered while buffing, try to break line of sight while still buffing. After he finishes buffing, try to force melee combat. Try to charge when possible, and if it seems like he can get off a charge Drop universal solvent and use rage. If below 20HP, rage regardless. If stuck with a tangle foot bag, use universal solvent. Well, hope finaly breaking pattern and just acting like a tank with a BFS will work... using a fortune in buff potions though.
Well I might be foolishly optimistic here, but I think I have a decent shot.
Start off with mindblade in hand, charged with psychic strike and move out. Get to the entrance where it opens up into the large area and watch for Gartak or his wolves. Once in sight, throw mindblade, 5ft step back if it enables me to avoid a charge and recreate the mindblade.
The wolves are pretty inconsequential since they will have a hard time hitting, but if they are in melee with me - use 5ft steps to throw at them until they go down.
When throwing, use the fight defensively option to get a +3 to AC (boosted due to tumble). Also, if unable to 5ft step away, use tumble (auto-succeed against the first person who can use an AoO each round) to get away.

Eclipse is attacking so Milo gets to Outmanoeuvre, but she gets her two prebuff rounds. She'll use Rob Store for a Humanbane Arrow +1.
Prebuff 1: Cast Reduce Person from Scroll Prebuff 2: Tap Tattoo of Chameleon
Eclipse will start Hiding at (28,2) or equivalent with her bow in hand. If she doesn't see Milo, she'll draw and use a Scroll of Expeditious Retreat as well. When she does see Milo, she'll shoot him, then flee and attempt to rehide. If Milo is over 40ft from her, she'll attempt to snipe as a rull-round action instead.
Eclipse will continue to shoot and hide so long as she is able and Milo is beyond 40ft. Otherwise, she'll wait and move away.
If found and fleeing to rehide proves unsuccessful or impossible, just cast Colour Spray or ready to do so if he's not in range, drawing the Wand of Ray of Enfeeblement. If Colour Spray works, kill him with the spiked gauntlet. If not, use RoE from the wand, then my Scroll of Acid Substituted Shocking Grasp (don't use it whilst threatened, so 5ft-step away and hold the charge).
If all else fails, use hit-and-run shooting tactics (refreshing RoE as necessary).
Notes: -Avoid melee, Tumbling away when not Withdrawing. -If Expeditious Retreat or Reduce wear off, refresh them if hidden and it will not reveal my location (i.e. I'm hidden and he doesn't have LoS), or refresh Expeditious so long as he's pursuing me. -Avoid Crawling Tattoos, but don't do anything unusual about them. -If grappled, attack with Acid Grasp if it's active; otherwise, Escape Artist.
Time to change up tactics against this invisible, scouting, shocking-grasp-touching rogue.
Since he's on defense, Milo can use Outmaneuver to start up to 32 squares outside of his starting box, so he starts with his masterwork kama in one hand and a power stone of Inertial Armor in the other, at a square in the middle that corresponds with his starting box:
Milo then activates the power stone of Inertial Armor, then manifests Force Screen on the following round and moves to the next coordinate in the list above, going clockwise. As long as Milo doesn't know Eclipse's location, he continues walking around in a clockwise circle, stopping at each location above and readying an action to grapple if Eclipse comes into melee range.
Once Milo is within 110' of Eclipse, he designates his Dodge bonus for Eclipse, then charges and grapples. If Eclipse shows up in melee, Milo grapples him as soon as possible after assigning his Dodge bonus.
If Milo succeeds at the melee touch attack, he manifests Grip of Iron as a swift action to get a +4 grapple check bonus (lasts 2 rounds) before making the grapple check. Milo also expends his psionic focus to activate Psionic Fist on the first grapple attempt, so that it applies on his first unarmed strike after winning the grapple.
Milo maintains the grapple and continues to do damage (not "attack your opponent", but "damage your opponent", as per the rules) until Cries is down.
If Milo fails his melee touch attack to grab Eclipse, he activates a crawling tattoo of Entangling Ectoplasm to attack Eclipse, then continues to try a grapple until he succeeds. In this scenario, Milo flanks with the tattoo while it's trying to attack Eclipse.
If Eclipse is staying out of melee range due to being faster than Milo, then Milo draws his longbow and shoots at Eclipse instead.

Round 1, start front and center with potion of enlarge person. Drink it, close on Gart'ak, and then grapple him. Any round I can flurry, do so. If puppies are here, punch them before grappling, still flurrying.
If he is holding his distance, feel free to shoot him, but I prefer crushinh his spleen.
