"As a full-round action, you can move up to your speed and make a single melee attack without provoking any attacks of opportunity from the target of your attack. You can move both before and after the attack, but you must move at least 10 feet before the attack and the total distance that you move cannot be greater than your speed. You cannot use this ability to attack a foe that is adjacent to you at the start of your turn." (emphasis mine)
Personally, I wish it worked a little different because I'm about to throw a quickling at the players in my Kingmaker game, but if you run this at a Con you'll probably get called on it.
The quickling dodges the hurled bomb with ease.
And entirely avoids the blast.
The quickling shrugs off the blast of shadows and darts away again.
Only to be caught by the ulfen’s blade. The small elfin figure tumbles to the ground and a cylindrical-shaped stone tumbles from his grasp. It literally pulses with shadowy energy.
And no sooner is the Lorestone hidden from the sun's breaking rays as the shadowy First World tendrils, disappear from sight.

Aod releases his rage in a long breath, then sheaths his sword and walks over to where the sprite is sleeping. Taking a sack from his backpack, he puts her in headfirst, then ties the opening tight around her waist.
"D'ya suppose that quick little bastard was Cyflymder, or should we put this other one to the question?" He asks his companions.
The sprite from Hemzel's hut arrives a moment later looking anxious but then quickly relieved when she sees the party alive and the quickling vanquished.
"That's him", she says with a solemn nod. "That's Cyflymder."

With the Lorestone in hand, the party begins the long trek back to Absalom and back to the Grand Lodge. After a quick debriefing, it's taken and stored in one of the Lodge's many secure vaults, to be locked away for study and safekeeping. "It'll take years to unlock its mysteries without Hemzel", Venture Captain Hamshanks says sadly. "But you did good getting it back to us."
The party gets notice from some locals, that with Cyflymder’s defeat, peaceful druidic activity has resumed. There's hope that the loggers and hunters living in the area can work things out with the capricious fey but as explorers push ever deeper into the dark groves, friction is bound to flare up again.
Got it.
The event has been recorded. I'll be getting chronicles out when I get home tonight.
Chronicles are out.
