5ft stepping up so that I threaten all those surrounding me, and maintaining my larger size for one more round, Yanos again unleashes a flurry or thrusts, jabs, and slice with Witch-Hammer, focusing on the leader.
Because I'm large and using a Reach weapon, I threaten both 10ft and 15ft away from me. That should mean that they can not 5ft step to escape the AoO for firing a bow while threatened.

Shel keeps firing at the same opponent, as she grows woozy from the damage she has taken. Wondering where her Mage friend's magic missles were, she calls out, "Peri, are you still back there? We could use some help!"
Barlor and Ing both rush after the fallen rider to finish him off.
Draw club & move, dropping my sling. Gore:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Haris, higher ground only applies to melee attacks. Also, keep in mind thrown daggers have a range of 10', so you are getting penalties for distance unless you stay pretty close.
Haris guides his stolen horse a short distance away and flings a dagger, but it misses the horseman. Ing and Barlor charge in, Ing arriving first and goring the man. He cries out and goes limp.
Peri fires a magic missile and wounds another horseman.
László and Shel loose more arrows, but neither hits a target.
"Argh!" Calgredine winces as Yanos' spear draws blood. With a snarl, he thrusts with his lance and plants it solidly into Yanos' side and the cleric falls. (14 damage)
Pulling his lance free, Calgredine urges his horse forward. "Was that your best!?"
The horseman near Calgredine rides closer and fires an arrow at Shel, but it lodges in the tree between them. From the other side camp, another horseman attempts a shot at Haris, but also misses.
GM ROLLS:
Calgredine attack on Yanos:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 HIT
Damage on Yanos:1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Horseman 1 attack on Shel:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 MISS
Horseman 3 attack on Haris:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 MISS
At Tier 3-4, Calgredine's not a push-over. That spell you cast prevented him from charging you with a spirited charge attack earlier, so it could have been worse. At least you are stable.
Peri, I just realized you took two actions last turn. UMD for the cure light wounds, then used a wand of magic missiles. I'm going to pull back the magic missle, unless you'd rather do that then cast entangle this round... your choice.
Barlor rushes towards a horseman tangled in grass while Ing chases after someone else.
Gore:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20, Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 "Ing! Ya blasted pig! Hurry up with that'n and come help me!"
Haris throws a well aimed dagger, dropping another horseman. Ing runs up and gores the body. László and Shel fire more arrows, but miss.
Peri's magic animates the undergrowth with another entangle spell. Calgredine quickly turns his mount and retreats from the area, but the soldier at his side is not so lucky. Still, he manages to pull free and ride out, but that takes him some time.
Across the camp the other horseman also manages to escape and ride out of the other entangled area near Barlor.
Calgredine dismounts from his horse next to Yanos' body.
GM Rolls:
Calgredine Ref save vs Entangle:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Calgredine's Horse Ref save vs Entangle:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Horseman 1 save vs Entangle:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Horse 1 save vs Entangle:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Horse 4 save vs Entangle:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Horseman 1 first escape vs Entangle:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 Horseman 4 first escape attempt vs Entangle:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 Horseman 3 fall damage:1d6 ⇒ 6
I moved Peri, but Barlor technically goes before Peri in the round. Is she still casting another Entangle spell? Also, Barlor, I moved you up 3 squares to get line of sight to where you centered the spell since a tent was in the way.

Horsemen
Peri and Barlor's spells animate a large swath of the jungle. Calgredine tries to fight off the vines and plants, but they latch firmly to him and his horse. Unable to get his shield up quickly, Shel's arrow pierces his arm. The horseman near him initially gets caught, but pulls free and rides out from the area.
The other remaining horseman rides through camp and fires an arrow into Haris' leg. 8 Damage
Calgredine ignores the arrow in his arm, rips free from the entanglement, and places the point of his lance against Yanos' chest. "Put up your bows and wands Pathfinders!" He shouts. "I see anyone even point a finger my direction and I'll finish off your companion here!"
Peri and Barlor:
Regarding the area where the two entangle spells overlap - from the rules: Same Effect More than Once in Different Strengths: In cases when two or more identical spells are operating in the same area or on the same target, but at different strengths, only the one with the highest strength applies. However, they still need to roll vs the initial casting from both Barlor and Peri.
GM ROLLS:
Calgredine reflex save vs Barlor's Entangle (DC 14):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 Calgredine reflex save vs Peri's Entangle (DC 16):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Calgredine's Horse reflex save vs Barlor's Entangle (DC 14):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Calgredine Horse reflex save vs Peri's Entangle (DC 16):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Agghhh I did not even notice barlors entangle post, I must have been typing mine at the same time, I now understand all of the questions about my action. Had i realized that I would begun casting sleep. Oh well too late now
"You have lost men, just as it seems we are about to. Approach me horsemen and we may parlez."
Go ahead and kill him, he means nothing to me. I only care about my own skin. The questions you must ask yourself are... Is his life more valuable than yours? Because as soon as you slay him you are as good as dead. I am inclined to believe you hold your life in higher esteem than his. Do you really believe that you and your lone horseman can defeat the five of us? You will be tripped up in the vines while we turn you inside out.
Horseman 4 is off the map to the right, riding around the entanglement.
Calgredine looks a little unnerved, but does not give in. "If either of those were true, you wouldn't have stopped your attacks. Your friend here isn't bleeding out, so I'll make you a deal. Let us withdraw, with your man as insurance, and I will give you the chance to win him back!"
"You see, we have divined the location of your excavation site, and I have a wizard busy spelling up bridges for my army. You still might beat us there if you make haste, and if you do I will return your companion alive and in one piece!"
"Continue this fight, he will die. Then I will order my men to shoot your horses and we'll see who wins the race then!"
The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
(MY NOTE: As I read this, even if he fails the save he can still stab Yanos. He just can't move from the spot.)
They didn't teach you math at the Aspis academy? There's six of us and three of you - how about you trade three deaths in exchange for one", Haris shouts back.
He's intimidated, but that doesn't mean he's going to bow to your whims. We'll say a round has passed, so I'll make him save again.
The jungle wraps its tendrils around him, but Calgredine still has his lance to Yanos' chest. All he has to do is lean on it. "Surely you can see we are at an impasse! I cannot let him go and expect to live! I offer a compromise - you may keep the key! But my men and I withdraw with your companion here."
Calgredine reflex save vs Entangle:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
"Yer on horses. We're on foot. You fellas just turn them horses 'round and make fer the horizon and we won't run ya down. Keep tryin' tah take what's ours and you'll keep gettin' more ah what ya got." Barlor says, indicating to the fallen riders.
