OOC - OK, I will describe what I will try and do, and if it is not feasable, 
let me know.  I am assuming that the creature I speared is closest to me, 
then Icthya, then the other creatures around her.  I might as well try to be 
impressive...

The Fourth runs at his staff, currently embedded in one of the creatures. 
Grabbing it at the end, he uses it as a pole, to leap up and over the top of 
the creature, twisting it in the creature as he goes.  As he comes down on 
the other side (of Icthya), he kicks at another of the creatures in the 
side, hoping to unbalance it and knock it over.  As he lands, he pulls the 
blade out and turns to face the third of the creatures...

What do I need for all that?  Jumping 2W, Natural Weapons 10W, Martial Arts 
10W, Swordstaff 5W2
