if you work senses and int then speed the mage will useually go first unless you do the fake walk and if you do that then just have him cast a spell that would go off even with no enemy around if you think you will kill them off before hand. The mage and pries will get enough practice casting out of combat spells anyway so it isn't too big of a deal.
Also if you do a fake walk when it comes time to walk you can have your front line guys target different creatures so they don't gang up on the same one just by choosing them and then choosing a target before you start your "walk"
