TBH, I screwed engagement, but I'm sure I've learned the lesson. I do want to come back and do this once again in a small gang, a bit later.
We formed up a fleet of 8: ceptor scour, Keres, Antitackle RLML Caracal, DD: 2 Caracals (HM) and 3 Omens

Myrmidon +315.65m
We spent quit a bit of time until moved into C4C and when we found the content we were already followed by scout. Till that time I was a bit tired already and reacted improperly to the situation.
TBH, I don't remember much details on intel, but we spotted a small gang, and I called to primary Stabber and pulled fleet from the gate at 50km.
(04:27:06Z) L-C3O7
Caracal -37.32m
Stabber +17.38m
It looks like Wokum was also caught.
Quite soon after that, things escalated very quickly: we get a BUNCH of stuff on grid, including fast small things.
My expectation was that we will stay at range and have enough time to kill coming tackles so we can disengage at range. Though this did not happen. We were killed 1 by 1.
Omen -61.99m
Omen -53.38m
Keres -55.38m
Caracal -39.92m
Capsule -47.78m
Omen -242.92m - don't pickup expensive loot in the nul-sec roam we should have consumed those accelarators
After been killed I came back in a pod and tried to coordinate and kill small things and we succeeded to kill a Condor
(04:34:21Z) L-C3O7
Condor +4.63m
Caracal -51.02m
Stiletto -41.85m
Capsule -0.01m
Capsule -0.75m
Capsule -0.01m
That was a quick fight and I almost enjoyed it, the only thing is we lost fleet, but killed pretty much 1 cruiser.
It was still early, so I offer to have a small roaming in low sec in a kitchen sink small brawly stuff. While people were coming back I found Confessor ratting event sites. He agressed me first, but clearly was not ready for PvP.

Confessor +77.82m
I went to station to repair damage, he did the same. He was flashy so I engaged, but for some stupid reasons guns started shooting me...
(04:52:26Z) Dastryns
Hecate -65.5m
At this moment more people joined and Solo Artist switched into an Arbitrator. I thought that Hecate does not really care about being tracking-disrupted, went for tackle... but dies before reinforcements arrived Drones...
(05:05:02Z) Dastryns
Hecate -87.84m
Rider arrived... but looks like did the same understimation mistake:
Hecate -70.27m
At this moment, Artist get a friend in a Deimos. I made PvP ping to LSC and got Harai.
I was 99% sure he is blaster fit and I expected my Omen to be able to kite him and with 2-3 other DDs kill him. That would work if I did not hit 'Q' (approach) by accident.
(05:14:17Z) Dastryns
Omen -56.12m
Caracal -29.3m
Caracal -31.5m
I did not have other Omens and did not want spending a ton of time refitting, but wanted to do something cool against that Deimos. Though, I personally did not have BC or T2 to upship. So I combined quickly an AB verion of Scythe and we engaged again, we got 3 DDs and engaged again. This was really interesting and engaging fight. The moment I landed I was 70km out of the fight and saved our DDs just in armor Scythe has around 25km optimal + 40 falloff and lock range only 65km I also needed to warp out twice so Deimos does not catch me... Was cool and exciting, not kills though.
In the end, Harai found 1v1, but lost.
