The father actually steps forward rather than backwards. Darius, he actually frowns at you when you speak. Darius occupies L: 11 as the father moves up to K:11
RD 1: Zalen
he casts defensively and steps up to K:11.
"Quell let your soothing spirit guide us. It is not the time to make rash judgments."
All but one blue kids plus all the PCs need to make Will save DC 16.
This spell calms agitated creatures. You have no control over the affected creatures, but calm emotions can stop raging creatures from fighting or joyous ones from reveling. Creatures so affected cannot take violent actions (although they can defend themselves) or do anything destructive. Any aggressive action against or damage dealt to a calmed creature immediately breaks the spell on all calmed creatures.
This spell automatically suppresses (but does not dispel) any morale bonuses granted by spells such as bless, good hope, and rage, and also negates a bard's ability to inspire courage or a barbarian's rage ability. It also suppresses any fear effects and removes the confused condition from all targets. While the spell lasts, a suppressed spell, condition, or effect has no effect. When the calm emotions spell ends, the original spell or effect takes hold of the creature again, provided that its duration has not expired in the meantime.

Darius dazzling display is a full round action, so you can't move and perform the action in the same round. You also have a reach weapon so you need to have space to twirl the glaive. If there is a rule to the contrary let me know. FYI: There is a fighter: polearm master build that permits use of polearms within 5 ft but it's at a penalty.
A full-round action requires an entire round to complete. Thus, it can't be coupled with a standard or a move action, though if it does not involve moving any distance, you can take a 5-foot step.
Astrianna feels the magic attempt to sink in on the edges of her mind, but it finds no hold thanks to her elven heritage. The bard almost makes a comment to the priest about not trying to control her, but she holds her tongue, instead focusing on her spellcasting.
Darius notes the priests words and feels a bit of magic attempt to seap into his mind, but shakes it off. Now is not the time to become distracted.
Sath hears the father's words and feels his calming magic slide off her mental defenses- "Hmmmmmm, might need to have a word with him later about trying to ensorcell me," she thinks.
Drawing upon the spirits of the earth and the planets, Sath causes the vegetation in the area to grow, seeking to Entangle all those in the area of effect.
"Stay calm there is no reason for approach boys, just stay calm. Clearly nobody wants trouble here, we are simply passing through." His calming voice eases most of the boys hostility..

The thugs are in a commotion, Damn thickets and look dragoons...damnit, you're gonna pay priest."
Three move out of the area and use their full round action to dart between buildings.
Both fail to get loose.
Round 2
Astrianna looks at the stuggling thugs who are just begging to become target practice. "Are we killing these thugs or not? They aren't children, they've made their choice."
Bri everyone is either calm or entangled. there is the man in the ditch that is unconscious entangled with his face in the water.
RD 2: Zalen
The cleric says, "Quell close the gap." [std) He steps and reappears amidst the entangling overgrowth and the man in the ditch. He kneels down (move action). The vines don't appear to have any effect on the cleric. He did not answer Astri's question nor does he seem concerned about the the proximity of entangled thugs.
He did release the calm emotion spell but the blue boys seem pretty nervous and they raise their hands. Waving off any trouble. Dirk is no longer under the effects of calm emotion.
Astrianna watches the priest from a distance, keeping the illusion of the Dragoons active. Her eyes flicker between the thugs- they appear to be cowed, for now.
"Astri, I say we leave that choice to Father Trafalgar. He's more familiar with this city than us and would know better what the ramifications of that action would be."
Bri holds off on any action until the Father says anything, though she will ready to sleep hex anyone who attempts to attack her or any member of her group, including the Father and will move as necessary.
Astri you don't really know how he moved from one spot and all the way into the ditch which is a good 40 foot in distance. Although you understand he has a travel deity and it must be a gift from his god. The man certainly has talent.

David sees the man that was beaten and flung into the ditch. He knows the man has little time before he chokes to death in the water...
He glances at his companions, and in a calm manner he takes a to K:4; his weapons out and ready...
Dirk moves to K: 4 setting up a defense from the between some shack.
Round 2
Astrianna purses her lips at the man's powers, thinking for a moment about Quell and the god's power over travel. Impressive. This man must be truly blessed by his god....
She turns her head to Embrianna. "I think this scuffle is over, the thugs value their lives more than our coin."
The bard flicks her wrist and dispels the illusion of the dragoons, walking across the bridge to cover Hawkins with her bow. Those two other thugs were still behind the shacks... "Got your back, Sawbones."
While the father looks after the man lying in the ditch, Sasth scans the area to make sure that the 3 thugs that fled are not circling back to ambush the group.
Sath you see a few people peeping out of flabby doors or loose shutters but nobody threatening. The blue boys drop their sticks and mutter, "We're fine....no issue 'ere."
Updated Map
Bri I changed your destination point since that would have been on top of Astri.
If nobody is going to attack the two thugs they will make another escape artist check to free themselves and double move out.
the each get away and boogie on out of Dodge. No threats remain.
Meanwhile the cleric will cast a healing spell on the gravely injured man.
"Father, do you need any assistance?"
Meanwhile the cleric will cast a healing spell on the gravely injured man.
David will make a fast dash to the fallen man.
Seeing that priest has called on his god to aid the man, he drops a knee adjacent to the cleric.
"Status?" he asks Father Zalen, his weapons still out as he scans the surrounding area to make sure no threats are coming toward them.
Astrianna keeps her bow in hand, and doesn't hustle over to where the group is gathering about the ditch. She walks with Embrianna. "That went extremely well. It's good to know the people in the Outskirts are just poor, not stupid."
"Beaten severely but quite alive." He is holding the man's head above the water.
Darius turns to Adriel and Sath, the only remaining members of their entourage on this side of the ditch. "Let's cross, better to all be on the same side in case any of these punks decide to do something foolish."
He then makes his way across the bridge and takes up a protective stance on the opposite side of the women.
"Well, glad this was so easily resolved, with no permanent harm to anyone involved." Sath comments as she crosses over the bridge to join the rest of the group there.
Rd2: Adriel was glad he did not have to harm any chidren it seems, he takes a double move to J6, holding his Sap out threateningly and lined up for a charge, should the vines be dispelled.
Lay down or you're gonna hurt.
After they flee: Drop the spell so we can reach the padre.
His bickering with Hawkins not forgotton and loathe to waste a good spell, Adriel keeps his sap in hand, the cold energy from his held spell frosting the leather weapon.
He tells Thrasher Fly High and tell me if there are any more predators
"Beaten severely but quite alive." He is holding the man's head above the water.
David nods, his eyes studying the man intently.
"Can we move him out of the water?" he asks with a brisk tone as he studies the man for any signs of suffocation or choking from possibly swallowing any water.
As David talks he pulls his cloak off his shoulders and balls it up to make a crude pillow for under the man's head - at least until he knows more details on his condition...
Without turning his eyes from their surroundings, Darius responds to Sath, "Agreed."
Sath utters the word of dismissal, return the local foliage to its normal form.
The man is coughing loudly and whatever water was in his lungs have cleared.
"He can be moved. Steady now, no harm will come to you." The cleric soothing voice reassures the man. "Can anyone do anything about this overgrowth?'
The man is coughing loudly and whatever water was in his lungs have cleared.
"He can be moved. Steady now, no harm will come to you."
David steps back a bit to give the man some room. Seeing that the priest seems to have everything in hand, he pulls back a little and sheathes his weapons; his eyes on the surrounding buildings, studying them intently for any potential threat.
"Where to, then?" he asks Zalen as he watches the buildings.
the man scramble up onto the bank he looks around nervously, "Where are they? Are they gone?"
