William will cast a stabilization on james in order to prevent further bleeding and will drag him into the jungle as far inside as possible (William ast 20ft move maximum)
OK, Will, you weigh maybe 30lbs and James weighs about 120lbs or more (sorry, I know you relate to kilos, but I've never really got those intuitively). Plus you have a shield strapped to your arm and a gammy leg. So I'm going to rule that given the difficult terrain for dragging such a massive beast (relatively - Hell, James is a really big dog by any standards) around, you can move him 5' as a full round action. Plus you need to drop the shield to do so (which can be your move action if you so desire) since you can't move him with one hand. However, he is stabilised.
Rehil's arrow hits home. The poisondusk slips from the tree and plunges into the river.
P2 down.
Just as he is celebrating yet another kill, Rehil and Nalverren hear footsteps behind them. Another large group of Finback lizard-warriors runs up from further along the river bank. They take one look at the carnage and prepare to charge.

Light Load: 0-66 Mediuam Load: 67–133 Heavy Load: 134–200 @ Str 15. A character can generally push or drag along the ground as much as five times his maximum load. Favorable conditions can double these numbers, and bad condition can reduce it. So i figure william can drag James even with one hand to safty

I don't. First, as a small character your carrying ability is 75% of that of a medium character. So 66 goes down to less than 50. Second, dragging a medium dog when you are the size of a child with one hand is what counts as an unfavourable condition. So does the general condition of the ground and the fact you want to drag him through difficult terrain. Third, your movement rate is 15, not 20, as you have the Lame oracle's curse.

Rehil looks at the oncoming lizardmen and observes quietly to Nalverren, "It's deja vu all over again."
Aubrey, you've got them before Rehil in initiative order, but described his shot before introducing them. Who's going first next round? Also, do any of them look especially threatening ala the bullrusher?

I wasn't planning to change the initiative order, but perhaps it's better for the flow of the combat. L6 looks fairly bad-ass - he's wearing a breastplate thing made out of turtle shells.
Nalverren is moving at normal speed (as opposed to half-speed) which reduces his Stealth check result by 5.

Vaard's still down, so Will then Rehil?
Also, I realized Cole still has his greatsword lashed to his back, so he's not quite in as bad a spot if he has to get up there quickly... still not great, though. But I'm guessing he won't have a spot to climb to after the lizard dudes go.

Don't worry about climbing. It looks like we're coming to you.
Rehil winces as an arrow passes through his thigh.
Just realized that if I bug out, Ashshar will be left up here alone and he/we'll be eating charges. He'll almost certainly go down again if I leave, and will probably go down if I don't.
Aubrey, any options to get Ashshar out of harm's way or advance him in initiative order like creative use of a hero point? Once we're engaged, is there any way to "withdraw" down the cliff without sucking up AoOs? What was the cliff climb DC?
Checking through old posts. Rehil's down to 13 HP after that last arrow. I'll update his profile.
I'd like to pick up the sword before exiting, but could sacrifice it. We need Rehil's pack (for the CLW fruit) which is at the bottom of the cliff. Wultram's longbow would also be a good pickup. Falling down the cliff would leave us prone and getting up is a move action. These actions are going to eat time getting off the beach. We need PFD to slow the lizardfolk down. Does anyone else have CLW potions left?

If we can't get creative with Action Points in order to bump him in front of the on-rushing lizards, have Ashshar withdraw (assuming he survives the charges), just eating the falling damage. With a little tactical fore-warning from Rehil or Nalverren, Cole could be ready to pick him up if the damage drops him into negatives.
For PF, Cole has 2 Vials of Repair Light Damage in his pack. So again, with a little tactical interaction, we could have someone grab that and head over to PF as quickly as possible.
As for possibly leaving the sword ... I hope you don't have to. I'm pretty sure Cole is going to have to leave his longspear on the ground for the sake of action economy. This dude is just leaving reach weapons strewn all over this jungle (he left his long hammer back at that initial lizardfolk encounter at the dock).

Aubrey, as asked earlier is there any way to spend a hero point to boost Ashshar's initiative count or otherwise get him out of harm's way? (Preferably without sacrificing an actual action.)
by spells that target living creatures as well as by those
that target constructs. Damage dealt to a warforged
can be healed by a cure light wounds spell or a repair light
damage spell, for example, and a warforged is vulnerable to disable construct and harm. However, spells from
the healing subschool and supernatural abilities that
cure hit point damage or ability damage provide only
half their normal effect to a warforged.

No, there isn't. Frankly, I shouldn't have moved Rehil out of harm's way either...
The lead lizardman whirls bolas above his head as he approaches, hurling then at Rehil. Then the rest of the lizardmen rush in to drag down Ashshar and the elf.
L6 approaches and throws his bolas
1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 = 9 to hit, damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 plus trip attempt on a hit, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 CMB v Rehil's CMD
The other lizards will try to grapple Ashshar (L7 and L8) and Rehil (L9, L10, L11 and L12). They don't have Improved Grapple so they provoke AoOs.
L7 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 v Ashshar's CMD
L8 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 v Ashshar's CMD
L9 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 v Rehil's CMD
L10 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 v Rehil's CMD
L11 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 v Rehil's CMD
L12 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 v Rehil's CMD
I counted 6 squares to L6 and he was at least 1 square closer than any of the other lizardmen. Are you ruling that a grapple is a permissible attack at the end of a charge?
Grappled Condition:
Grappled: A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
A grappled creature cannot use Stealth to hide from the creature grappling it, even if a special ability, such as hide in plain sight, would normally allow it to do so. If a grappled creature becomes invisible, through a spell or other ability, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus on its CMD to avoid being grappled, but receives no other benefit.

Seems pretty clear that Ashshar won't hit and even if he did 5 probably won't kill his grappler.
If the AoO does kill his opponent, then Ashshar runs for the cliff and descends as far as he can with a double move.
If he did hit on the AoO, but didn't kill his grappler, then he unloads a full attack on the grappler. claw, grappled:1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 2 = 13damage:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, claw, grappled:1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 2 = 15damage:1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, bite, grappled:1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 2 = 10damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
If he didn't hit at all on the AoO, then he tries to break the grapple:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
More grapple rules:
Grapple
As a standard action, you can attempt to grapple a foe, hindering his combat options. If you do not have Improved Grapple, grab, or a similar ability, attempting to grapple a foe provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. Humanoid creatures without two free hands attempting to grapple a foe take a –4 penalty on the combat maneuver roll. If successful, both you and the target gain the grappled condition (see the Appendices). If you successfully grapple a creature that is not adjacent to you, move that creature to an adjacent open space (if no space is available, your grapple fails). Although both creatures have the grappled condition, you can, as the creature that initiated the grapple, release the grapple as a free action, removing the condition from both you and the target. If you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold. If your target does not break the grapple, you get a +5 circumstance bonus on grapple checks made against the same target in subsequent rounds. Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple).
Move: You can move both yourself and your target up to half your speed. At the end of your movement, you can place your target in any square adjacent to you. If you attempt to place your foe in a hazardous location, such as in a wall of fire or over a pit, the target receives a free attempt to break your grapple with a +4 bonus.
Damage: You can inflict damage to your target equal to your unarmed strike, a natural attack, or an attack made with armor spikes or a light or one-handed weapon. This damage can be either lethal or nonlethal.
Pin: You can give your opponent the pinned condition (see Conditions). Despite pinning your opponent, you still only have the grappled condition, but you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC.
Tie Up: If you have your target pinned, otherwise restrained, or unconscious, you can use rope to tie him up. This works like a pin effect, but the DC to escape the bonds is equal to 20 + your Combat Maneuver Bonus (instead of your CMD). The ropes do not need to make a check every round to maintain the pin. If you are grappling the target, you can attempt to tie him up in ropes, but doing so requires a combat maneuver check at a –10 penalty. If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target's CMB, the target cannot escape from the bonds, even with a natural 20 on the check.
If You Are Grappled: If you are grappled, you can attempt to break the grapple as a standard action by making a combat maneuver check (DC equal to your opponent's CMD; this does not provoke an attack of opportunity) or Escape Artist check (with a DC equal to your opponent's CMD). If you succeed, you break the grapple and can act normally. Alternatively, if you succeed, you can become the grappler, grappling the other creature (meaning that the other creature cannot freely release the grapple without making a combat maneuver check, while you can). Instead of attempting to break or reverse the grapple, you can take any action that doesn't require two hands to perform, such as cast a spell or make an attack or full attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you. See the grappled condition for additional details. If you are pinned, your actions are very limited. See the pinned condition in Conditions for additional details.
Multiple Creatures: Multiple creatures can attempt to grapple one target. The creature that first initiates the grapple is the only one that makes a check, with a +2 bonus for each creature that assists in the grapple (using the Aid Another action). Multiple creatures can also assist another creature in breaking free from a grapple, with each creature that assists (using the Aid Another action) granting a +2 bonus on the grappled creature's combat maneuver check.
The difference is moot since they all missed your CMD - I'm not sure if you can initiate a grapple as part of a charge but it doesn't seem unreasonable. They move up there and just threaten you, either way.
Ashshar missed with his AoO and also fails to escape the grapple. Rehil's AoO misses too.

Seeing the sudden press of bodies above, Cole shifts his tactics. He thunders along the bottom of the incline before finding a better spot to climb. His war maul hits the jungle floor as he begins his ascent.
Rage, then move to C.16. Drop war maul in C.16, then begin an accelerated climb for the top, using his standard to continue a double move to make the most of this round.
Accelerated Climb, DC 5:1d20 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 5 = 13
Getting to C.16 ate up 20ft of his raging movement (30ft), leaving him 40ft of his double move. The successful Accelerated Climb should put him 20ft up the 30ft incline.
Your basic climb speed is 1/4 normal, and double that is only 1/2 speed, not full speed like you suggest with the +5 DC. James' speed is 50' so a full round of movement would move him the equivalent of 100'. It is 45' to the bottom of the slope and the slope is 30' high, which at half speed that is the equivalent of another 60', so together that makes is 105' equivalent distance. On that basis, James and Will can't quite get to the top of the slope and so can't attack - they are 5' short of the top. Also, since you are still on the slope, both Will and James count as flat-footed.
It doesn't matter here as you did enough damage, but you cannot boost damage with an action point, they only affect d20 rolls. Also, you can only use one action point a round.
Rehil cuts down another enemy. But there are plenty more.
