I would try to avoid using flash, personally. It introduces a lot of variables that might be best left out of this particular equation. That's up to you though, I don't mean to sound anti-flash; I'm just thinking it might be best to keep this simple. That being the case, I'm going to suggest Aperture Priority with a medium to large aperture, something in the f/4.0-f/5.6 range *probably*. If I had to suggest settings based on what you've told us, I'd shoot at f/5.6 and let my ISO go as high as it needed to keep my shutter speed at 1/60s or better assuming a wide-ish focal length; say, 35mm - 50mm range. I'd open my aperture wider if I had too but I strongly suggest you keep your shutter speed at 1/60th or better for crisp shots with 1/125 being even better. Again, this is going to be a juggling act so be prepared to use your Exposure Compensation button frequently to fine tune your exposure.One more thing to consider would be a MonoPod. Far less expensive than a tripod with hardly any bulk and a tiny little footprint when in use. Light, fast and easy to deply in seconds it would give a TON of additional stability in your shots without all the fuss and hassle of a full blown tripod......</blockquote>
