This build take up to 5 allies deep into enemy lines (as in, past the guards, up the stairs, and into the throne room), release a small nova (~1 standard. Elite/Solo possible with party op), and then get's out.
In the same turn.
Starts around level 19, when you get the Offerings of Celestian item set. Nearly all of the build is items, so you can tack it on to any class.

Revenant cheeze (5 minors) Master of Moments (1 more minor) Boots of Caiphon (minor to shift your speed) Staff of the Traveler (shift -> teleport) Offerings of Celestian Set (teleport self -> teleport allies) and stacks of speed (base 11)/shift boosters(3)/teleport boosters(4) = 6 * 18 = 108 squares.
Afterburner ~272 squares (per surge, the ride get's bumpy)Show
Teleport diagonally 2 squares up (and your allies 1 square up) Fall take 1d10 damage (1/2) and land prone.* Eerie Resurgence to stand as a free action. Spring Step to shift 1->teleport. (91 negitive bloodied-6 to be on the safe side)/2.5 damage per drop = 34 teleports * 8 squares = 272 extra squares.
Note that after burners can stall (1 * insubstantial = .5 = 0 falling damage = not prone), so use them first. If your low on minor's, (and your allies don't mind a few small drops) consider droping 20 feat. This will elimitate the chance of a 1, but will deal more damage, and thus, slow you down.
Beware of immidiate action attacks/hazards/aura's/ect. Your very vulnerable this way.
108+272 = 380 squares (190 in and out).
Extra Tank: By starting at full HP, you can add (183 / 5.5 * 8) ~ 266 squares. However, you have to be careful about action economy, as you will be dazed when you hit 0.
Mid Flight Refuel: Using a minor (or an ally's readied action) to heal yourself can net you ((45+6d6) / 5.5 + 272) ~350 more squares of the afterburners. Though it a tricky maneuver to match up your action economy, you greatly increase your chance of stalling too many times. And you are likely to loose your nova.
Assisted Takeoff: Grab some THP the turn before you launch. (Rub Some Dirt On It ~ 40 squares).
Payload: 4 Readied Actions: Allies prime themselves to unleash their attacks for when they arrive. 1 warlord enabler: Free: Drop a staff -> Standard: Hail of steel or Death from Two Sides (via bracer's of mental might)-> Fast Hands (Pick up the staff). Optional 1: Daily, and/or AP. Optional 2: Spend other actions to attack/buff (knight's move -> allies low slash).
*If your DM rules that you surprised them. Your party should has a big init booster. So you could stick around long enough for them to do a true nova before fleeing.
Voidcrystal Abduction:
(from Antillious)
Teleport in, hit with a voidcrystal weapon (you or an ally), use the daily, teleport out, and put the target in a safe location (say... in a cage or in a Gorgonblood Mortar tower).
Bonus points if you remain hidden (Shadow Steel Roll + Shadow Band) the entire time.

Hard to rate it's power level, since it's terrain dependent. Death's Gatekeeper A fun twist on a healic, making your party "unkillable".

Swordburst Maximus At-Will Close Burst 3 that slide and prones. Protects allies with off actions. Strong, possibly over powered with the right party.
The above is built for full speed, but it's easy enough to trade speed for nova but each shift/teleport boost is ~40 squares. Each speed boost is 6.
Races: You pretty much need to be a revenant for the actions as well as eerie resurgence. Being a non-eladrain cost you 2 speed (80 squares) Mul + Inexhaustible Resources gives you quite a bit of THP to burn adding ~50 squares.
Stats: 13 Wis for Diciple of Death, and 13 for Dex MC rogue. Combat Commander goes off of Cha, but isn't neccicaraly needed. The rest is availible.
Items: Since you need the item set, the boots, and the staff to pull this off, you don't have much play. However a party of 5 doesn't need the full set. So you could easily trade 1 of the set items (probably the weapon). Mummified Hand + Eladrain Ring: +80 squares. (expensive) Mithrendain Steel Weapon: +40 squares. Staff of the traveler (2-handed): Not needing Impliment proficency opens up your base classes. Horned Ring: While you loose speed, you can possibly take a shorter route, which may be further. Ring of Free Time: gives you less distance, and prevents the after burners.
Feats: Revenant action cheeze takes a few. Fluid motion is least speed boosting feat, affecting your crusing speed by 16. MC rogue + Risky would be next to drop, since it's a 2 feat combo, and would open up your multiclass. Toughness can add several (~25) squares to the afterburner.
Powers: Fast hands is needed if you want to attack. Otherwise, it's wide open. Some THP before liftoff can let you get further.
PP: Taken purely for the +to shift. Battle Captian with cry havoc is a top contender, Flamebrow Commander/Horizon Walker will save your theme and a feat or 2.
Theme: If you get an extra +1 to death saves... Samurai or Ironwroght, or any other "nova". Avoid Fey Beast tamers, as it's quite costly to carry more.
ED: Loosing Master of Moments is loosing 18 squares of movement. Prince of Hell: Can net you ALOT of damage, just make sure your allies have some fire resist.
Monk: Add only a little speed (fluid motion->fleet footed for 6 squares), but they have staff impliment proficency, possibly some shift powers. Warlord: Adds +1 shift with it's PP, let's you be lazy (allowing you to function while putting so much into speed), as well as nova and inititive. Rogue: Risky shift is the main attraction. Base Rogue have good shift powers though, so starting rogue isn't a bad idea.
A few other ideas... Psion|Rogue/Monk with forced oppertunity. Cleric|Monk/Rogue with Valorous Charge. Bard/Monk/Rogue with Surge of Valor. (multiclass mastery keeps feats the same).

One main issue is accuracy. I got Expertise in there, as well as insightful riposte, and could probably bump Cha up to 20, but that's still with a +2 weapon, and no CA.
Or should i just hope my allies do something, like a thornspray?

The standard d4 is somewhat (SOMEWHAT) rounded on the top, the older models are even flat. The Lego is shaped in such a way that in an emergency, you can use one as a makeshift surgical knife.
Fixed a math error. 1d10 * insubstantial is actually 2.5 average, not 2.75. So more squares. Added born under a bad sigh for a few more HP to burn.
Touched up on the varients section too.
I'm actually thinking cleric with Valorous Charge is the better way to go. You loose Zephyr, but you don't need to hit, and with the defense bonus (you can take improved defenses instead of staff expertise) your party can stay the first round letting your allies lay a full round of smackdown before jetting back.
Divine oracle could be a good replacement as well. Negating surprise and still giving a good init bonus, and a lazy crit.
Though i it's not as cool as doing it in 1 turn...

Hi, Mellored. I play D&D sans errata. So, I believe that playing a dead kobold could work just as well. (it would remove the need to hybrid monk). How would this affect the build? Other than slightly reducing the speed (loss of eladrin), of course.
I'm not using monk to shift. I use the boots. Monk is just for fluid motion and staff proficency. So it's easy-ish to skip.
I don't have any idea how far you need to travel to reach the boss (doors can really slow you down too). But you shouldn't need nearly as much as i have if you just want to hit and run, or jump over an encounter.
