The old man nods in agreement to Gunari's planning, thinking to himself, Gunari has become quite the tactical genius. He should plan more of our actions.
Doesn't blow any covers, and Cyrus's plan is quite feasible if you are moving. The rooftops are very close together and have branches and vines all around them. They're rickety, though. If you take to the rooftops, you'll need to make acrobatics or climb checks (your choice) to stay apace of the cart.
"Ungala is a bandit and a pirate and that is perhaps motivation enough. House Cartaghen isn't the only ones hit - she hits the Consortium as well. She seems to be a equal opportunity cutthroat. Beyond that I know little of her," says Novaria, sighing disappointedly, "She tends to stop the cart from being able to move forwards and then attacks from all sides except the rear. If I knew more, I think I might have been able to get the jump on her!"
Novaria genuinely has little else to tell. Sounds like a good plan so far. Just let me know when you are ready! ;-) Oh, and Cyrus and Ibid... tell me if you will be to the left or right of the cart. You can be on the same side if you like, obviously. Just let me know.
I don't want to speak for those who haven't gotten in on this awesome flurry of posts, but it seems like we are set.
"Getting down from the rooftops when the ambush happens doesn't worry me, I just want to stay out of sight. Ibid and I, and possibly miro can head up to the rooftops when we get closer to the free trade square. Dancing nimbly across the peaks is something I can be quite good at. I'll be just a few steps behind Ibid, I would prefer him shooting over my shoulder rather than running in to his line of fire."
As long as we are not in combat I would imagine I could take 10 on the acrobatics checks for a paltry 21. If Cyrus realizes early on he can't keep up with the wagon like that, he will drop back down to the streets. Mwk light crossbow will be drawn, moving as stealthily as possible. Same side as ibid, unless he has any objections.

Finarin, Gunari, Ibid and Miro can act in the up-coming surprise round.
The tiny caravan winds through the northern half of the city while sticking to the sturdier streets, which are increasingly crowded as the procession approaches Free Trade Square. The more observant Pathfinders note the crowds beginning to disperse as the cart is forced down one of the better-worn streets leading to the south and into Free Trade Square.
Ibid and Cyrus are scouting the rooftops on the (1=west, 2=east:1d2 ⇒ 1) west side of the street when a pile of crates and boxes tumbles onto the street forming a blockade. The cart is pulled up to a halt and...
Please confirm that your positions are what you would expect on the map before I add in the bad guys. When you are ready, say "go". Sorry, Amaranti if you're asleep already, but I'll probably kick off the battle tonight. The placement is based off the rough marching order on the Campaign Info tab.

Miro keeps his silence...he'd really been wanting to know if there were containers or chests they could possibly hide in, but the others had offered valuable insight, so he lets it go. He puts on the House uniform, chuckling at its fit. Good thing he wasn't much of a combatant, anyhow!
He walks with his short sword out, trying to look as menacing as possible, which meant he looked as formidable as a new puppy at a daycare. He keeps his eyes peeled for the likely ambush, determined to not be surprised.
Gunari walk in front, tankard in his hand. He drinks from it, often, but not enough to get drunk (just enough to get his will save bonus), but he staggers a little, as if he is.
The crowds begin to disperse, just as the bandits appear from behind the barricade and on the roof opposite Ibid and Cyrus. Without a word, they raise their crossbows and make ready to fire. The Pathfinders were prepared, however, and Ibid, Gunari, Finarin and Miro get the jump on the bandits!
They notice that one bandit in particular stands out, she has short cropped hair, piercings through her nose and wears traditional Bonuwat fashions - to go with the sour expression she wears on her face. This woman is clearly Ungala.

Miro begins to sing a song about a group of bandits that got surprised by a daring group of adventurers who had been hired to kick their ass. A song he'd been writing on their slow journey through the streets of Bloodcove. He keeps his eye on the leader as he draws his shield. Once his fellows were benefitting from his song he would concentrate his effort on that one, hoping to break the will of the underlings.

Amaranti tries on the house Cartaghen uniform, and discovers that one size does not fit all. While his problems are quite the opposite than Miro's, the Garundi flashes a sympathetic smile at the halfling, who is having his own problems with the standardized clothing size. After rolling up the sleeves and loosening all strings, Amaranti manages finally to wear the uniform, and be able to move at the same time. The result looks hilarious, and is still uncomfortably thight, but it'll do.
---
The Garundi walks in the front of the caravan, weapon in hand, playing his role as a caravan guard. Kaisharga follows close by, keeping low.
Could Amaranti have cast mage armour on Kaisharga (and anyone else who wants) before the caravan approached Free Trade Square?
Seeing the would-be-ambush about to occur, Ibid quickly lifts his bow, the weapon cord attached to his wrist fluttering slightly as the arrow point becomes trained on the bandit directly across the street.
The overcrowded streets and cluttered surroundings make leveling an accurate shot difficult for the old man, and Ibid is unsure if he will be able to land such an attack from such a distance.
Releasing the string, he is sure that he has wasted the opportunity to surprise their attackers.
Could Amaranti have cast mage armour on Kaisharga (and anyone else who wants) before the caravan approached Free Trade Square?
Absolutely!!!
Miro's delightful and familiar song fills the air, filled with Mwangi hints that he picked up (perhaps unconsciously) from his time at the Witchlight listening to the waitresses humming.
--> +1 attack and damage for all Pathfinders.
Ibid, I just checked your profile and you seem to be forgetting the +1 from inspire courage - or the +1 bonus from your bow! Not sure which... but with an 11 you hit his flat footed AC. Will assume you do hit and forgot something...
Jimmy takes Ibid's arrow to his shoulder while he was looking elsewhere. The arrow nearly misses, but instead manages to lodge in a particularly painful muscle. The bandit screams in pain as it runs straight through his body and out the other side with a spurt of blood.

@GM Mechanics of getting on the roof?
Finarin regards the roof. There are handholds and knotted trunks throughout these ramshackle houses. He should be able to ascend easily enough, but he'd likely only get half way from where he is and still be clinging to the roof when Ungala attacks.
--> Move action to get to the roof. DC 10 climb check (at the standard 1/4 speed) as a second move action will get you almost to the top. Since you'll be 7.5 ft up a 10-ft roof, next round you can get over as though standing up from prone by simply folding yourself forwards onto the roof. Until that time, though, you will lose your dex bonus. You could use accelerated climbing at a -5 penalty to your roll, moving at half speed, in order to get up and ready for action.

As his arrow finds its way into the bandit's shoulder, the old man hears the would-be-attacker cry out in pain. Momentarily and pleasantly surprised, Ibid tilts the longbow slightly to allow both his keen eyes to witness the arrow's effectiveness unobstructed. The corner of his mouth curls upward slightly, unveiling a fleeting glimpse of the old man's sinister pleasure derived from turning the tables on these unprepared and doomed foes.
Gunari chuckles to himself, as the ambushes become ambushed! He looks up at Ungala and her cohorts, and chants a few words in Celestial, trying to incite "Jim" to violence against his boss! casts murderous command on Jim, DC14 Will
He then looks to his defense, casting shield of faith, cloaking himself in the sacred luck of he Drunken Hero with his fervor.
"You may as well surrender now, Ungala. Even your henchmen are just tools we can use against you! house Cartaghen is well protected, now!"
Ungala looks quizzically at Gunari. Upon seeing Ibid's arrow all but take out one of her henchement, however, she quickly downs a potion and immediately her outline becomes indistinct and hard to concentrate on.
-->potion of blur
Jim, will save:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
Jim, meanwhile shrugs off the mental command to attack his superior, and focuses instead on the archer on the other side of the roof, Ibid.
Jim, longbow vs Ibid:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
His attack lodges in Ibid's armor, however, and does no lasting damage.
James moves up for a better look, and decides to go for the enormous man wielding a lance with a serpent at his side.
James, longbow vs Amaranti (who has cover +4 AC):1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Alas, due to the press of the crowds, his shot falls just short of the mark.
The severely wounded Jimmy notes his friend's lack of success firing into the crowd, the severe wound in his shoulder and decides to shoulder his longbow as he flees the scene!
Jimbo learns from his comrades' failures, and jumps behind the barricade for some hard cover. He pokes his head up above the boxes and fires at Ibid, who he now has a clear shot on.
Jimbo, longbow vs Ibid:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17<-- Just! Damage to Ibid:1d8 ⇒ 8
Man, I roll good, but you guys are just too well defended... except you, Ibid.
Also, my bad. I could swear they had crossbows. The fact that they're using longbows explains why they didn't start combat prone.
Next up: Ibid, Amaranti, Kaisharga, Cyrus, Finarin, Miro, Gunari.
Combat table (no spoilers, just a heap of text):
Active Global Conditions:Inspire courage (+1), Crowded - street is difficult terrain and provides soft cover, +4 AC vs ranged only, for all (until round 2)
Ibid winces as the first arrow strikes his armor, and the old man quizzically touches the impact location cautiously with his finger. Upon realizing he is unhurt a second arrow slams into him, and Ibid coughs, grinding his teeth in pain.
Quickly scanning the scene before him, Ibid turns his attention toward the archer on the opposite roof, knowing his light of sight to the thugs on the ground is obscured by the fleeing crowds.
Finarin: you didn't need to roll that last climb check. You're just standing up from prone. Have a reroll back. Standing from prone is move equivalent, though, so you're still out of actions.
Ibid fires off two accurate arrows at Jim. The first takes him in the chest, the next in his gut. Jim tumbles backwards onto the roof, bleeding out.
James cries out in pain as the rapier slides along his collarbone, narrowly missing his larynx.
Next up: Amaranti, Kaisharga, Cyrus, Miro.

Continuing to inspire his companions, Miro focuses on the leader, Ungala. He waves his arms about, chanting a quick spell. The leader of the thugs starts to feel overwhelmed with laughter, and has an uncontrollable urge to fall to the ground as she peals out her mirth.
Maintain Inspire, cast Hideous Laughter on Ungala (will move closer, if needed. 30 ft range. Will DC 15 or she falls prone and can take no action beside laughing. Another Will DC 15 on her turn breaks the spell as a full-round action.
Curses, they were supposed to attack the rear of the caravan!
Cyrus swears internally at his luck being so far away from the combat, and the wrong side of the street. He takes a bead on Ungala across the way before leaping nimbly down and starting across the street towards her.
Acrobatics getting down from roof:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Feel free to reroll that blur miss chance if you would rather do it at the GM, I didn't preview that one before posting. She shouldn't get cover from my shot since low walls only count as cover for targets within 30 feet, if I am wrong though take that -4!

It's cool, Cyrus. Please do continue to roll your own miss chances if you remember! Only caveat is that, as you did Cyrus, low is always the chance to miss (ie. it's a miss chance of 25%, so <= 25% is a miss).
Also Cyrus, acrobatics can get you down as a move action... where's the other movement coming from?
Cyrus fires at Ungala, hitting her indistinct form in what he thinks is a glancing blow to her ribs.
Meanwhile, Miro climbs up over the cart to get close enough to Ungala (moved you already).
Ungala will save:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Inappropriately, Ungala starts to giggle, before falling to the ground squealing with laughter. She clutches her throat in pain, but the bursts of pained mirth still burst forth.

Actually, it hits. Amaranti's FF AC in cover is 19. Just roll damage. Eh, the quote rolled the dice again... But the original was 22
Amaranti spots Jimbo behind the barricade. "Enemy in cover, flank that man," the summoner command his eidolon, and hustles into striking distance. The barricade is high, covering the enemy well, but the Garundi uses his leverage to strike him.

Great - so was I able to move adjacent to her? That was all I was hoping for, to be adjacent to her and invisible.
Following its master's orders, Kaisharga climbs over the barricade, and approaches Jimbo from behind. It takes its time, however, and is not able to sink its teeth into the juicy man-flesh.
Kaisharga takes a double move. How high is the barricade? Kaisharga spent 10ft going over it, would that cover it?

Yes, I've updated you on the map.

Kaisharga can get over the barricade with that much movement. The barricade is lower than 5ft. It doesn't mater so much because...
Amaranti's lance pierces Jimbo's eye. The poor man falls to the ground clutching his mangled socket, ichor and blood spilling out in equal portions through his fingers. While he is conscious, the man is disabled and clearly going nowhere. (on exactly 0 hp)
Finarin closes in, even more silent than a mouse, as Ungala continues with her gales of laughter. Ungala snaps her throat shut with her hands, trying to get the laughter to stop.
Ungala will save, DC 15:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Ungala succeeds, but spends a few moments calming herself while still lying down on the ground. Full round action to make that save.
As the crowd clears, James pulls out his longsword. He is perhaps unaware of the dire predicament under which he finds himself and lunges forwards at Gunari. And will need a 20 to hit!
James longsword vs Gunari:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
James' inexpert stroke goes well wide of the warpriest.
Next up: Ibid, Amaranti, Kaisharga, Cyrus, Finarin, Miro, Gunari.

Gunari chuckles, saying, "My friend, you picked the wrong fight!" as he stabs at James with his enchanted rapier once more.
Rapier Attack (Inspire, Divine Favor) (#1):1d20 + 7 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13Rapier Attack (Inspire, Divine Favor) (#2):1d20 + 7 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 + 3 = 28for:1d6 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + 3 = 7SOOO close to a critical on the 2nd blow!
If James doesn't fall, he then looks at Aramanti, and says, "Finish him!" Tempting fate, he then moves away so that he can be closer to the leader. This will provoke, against his AC27. Gunari is being rash, but also allowing Amaranti and Karshaiga to maneuver if necessary without being threatened by an attack of opportunity.
Ibid sees his last target drop, dying upon the opposite roof and watches as his friends make short work of the other thugs. After seeing the motion of Gunari striking at a foe just below the edge of the building, Ibid steps the short, five foot distance to the edge and leans over, firing his longbow at the thug.
Shift 5-foot south, full-round action shooting over the edge at james.
Also Cyrus, acrobatics can get you down as a move action... where's the other movement coming from?
I jumped from the roof as part of my movement and negated the damage with the acrobatics roll. I tried to find something in the acrobatics or falling rules to confirm the legality of that (that it can be part of a move instead of its own move action), but couldn't find anything either way. Visually, Cyrus leaps from the building 10 feet down to the ground and hits the ground in stride, finishing his movement 30' from where he started... Kind of like making a jump check for a horizontal jump, you just can't jump further than your full movement.. Happy to go with whatever you decide to rule. As much as I don't want to delay, where I am on the map will affect what I do next, so I will wait, and then post my action as soon as I can!
James falls backwards at Gunari's assault, and is immediately pinned to the ground by Ibid's arrows. The man lays there, completely motionless as his blood pools on the murky streets of Bloodcove. There is a momentary calm before Ungala shouts out, from her position on the ground, "I give up!"
She leaves her bow on the ground and slowly stands up (provoking AoO, if you're feeling bloodthirsty, Finarin), her body still blurry and hard to see.
"I know when I am outmatched, you win!" Ungala, through the haze, looks utterly furious, "House Cartaghen has beaten me at last. It was bound to be them, or the Aspis Consortium... but they really brought out the heavy hitters on me for this one, didn't they? New arrivals in Bloodcove, from the looks of you. Name your price and rape the Mwangi of their treasures!" Ungala spits at the Pathfinders as she says this, "Steal our relics and sell them on to the rest of the world at inflated prices, not caring for tradition or the sacred meaning in the items you have pillaged from my people."
Ibid scans the area as quickly as he can and then shouts to his companions, hoping to keep those outside of the struggle from hearing.
"Somebody shut her up!" Ibid says dropping from the rooftop.
acrobatics:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
"We can use these to bind her hands behind her back," he says, drawing out a set of manicles from his pack, and proceeding to toss them to Finarin. "We'll question her away from this place."
Upon reaching Gunari, Amaranti, and Miro, the old man speaks again, "Perhaps the best contact for our cause in Bloodcove is someone who is activity leading a rebellion already... What do you think?"
"Ma'am, we are just guards... we do what we're paid for. You are right, though, in that we are new in town. So, what is this Aspis Consortium, and what's wrong with them?"
Seeing Ibid's distress at her shouting, Ungala wisely holds her tongue. Eventually, her body becomes easier to see - though some may prefer the blurred version - and Kaisharga and Finarin (who appears suddenly, startling the already shaken Bonuwat woman) escort her to the other Pathfinders. She puts up no resistance.
Ungala sense motive:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
"Just mercenaries, eh? Well, I guess that makes sense. You must be really new in town if you need to know of the Aspis Consortium. Surprised someone at House Cartahegn didn't tell you," she says quietly, eyeing the now abandoned streets to be sure she cannot be overheard, "They are thieves and robbers, operating under the guise of a legitimate business. Oh, I know they say similar things about me, but I am liberating the treasures they steal from the Mwangi people. I return it to the temples and sites from which they were stolen. Where that isn't possible, I ensure the artifacts are distributed to the rightful inheritors... not some foreign dandy who wants a fireplace cozy," Ungala sneers throughout this explanation, "House Cartahegn, Aspis Consortium, makes no difference to me. They're in the same business: making a profit off the backs of my people.
"Before you arrest me, at least look inside those crates you are carrying. Tell me if you think this endeavor is worth protecting. If you do, then you're just as bad as they are and at least I know what fate awaits me should you take me to your superiors."
FYI: each bandit is carrying a potion of curelight wounds, 2 thunderstones, 5 mastework arrows, and 2 tanglefoot bags - in addition to their mundane equipment.
Amaranti sense motive:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18 Cyrus sense motive:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 Finarin sense motive:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Gunari sense motive:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Ibid sense motive:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Kaisharga sense motive:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Miro sense motive:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Finarin and Miro suspect there is a little more to Ungala's relic liberating operation than she is letting on. Otherwise, though, everyone is certain that she is telling the truth.
"What say we beat feet and take this conversation to another location, in a hurry," Ibid says, looking back and forth down the long-winding streets. "Before the snakes show themselves."
"Somewhere she can be... properly... put to the question."
Had a post, got distracted, got Cyrus'd by EVERYBODY. Made me laugh :) You guys already are thinking what I was about to post, so I just removed it...
Cyrus whispers to Ibid and the others, "She is the best chance we have of building a network of citizens that work directly against the Aspis Consortium. If the society wants to gain a foothold in this city, Ungala is the place to start. That is my opinion. If Noveria is working with the society now, these once enemies might have cause to work together in the future..."
Cyrus helps himself to a potion, a couple of thunderstones and a couple of the tanglefoot bags as well.
Unfortunately you have nowhere at all you could take this conversation offline and still keep a two-horse cart. Ungala knows somewhere, but you'd have to trust her...
"I have a stable where we were going to keep that cart," says Ungala, speaking up, "If you'd like, we could use it. The stable is abandoned and not far from here... and well hidden."
Ungala takes a look around and notes James lying dead on the ground. Her eyes moisten at the sight, but her demeanor remains stoic.
"Please, if you could heal my companion on the roof," says Ungala gently, indicating the rooftop where Jim was, "He is stable, but will likely be killed if found by the guard. He carries his own potion, which you can use if you do not wish to waste your own magics."

Adrenalin from the battle fading away, only now Amaranti notices he has been wounded. The Garundi picks up a potion from one of the fallen enemies, and drinks it.
unless someone objects, of course... There's four potions, right?
Cyrus moves over to the bleeding man, and pulls the potion he recently procured out of his pocket and pours it down the dying man's throat. He then proceeds to tie him up and move him in with the woman.
"Let's finish delivering this cart, and finish the job we were tasked with. Then we can finish this conversation in a more private place, since you have one."
