You spot 4 shady people near by using the crowd to disguise themselves. Going to wait for Dylara to respond with what she wants to do to see if its init.
Gruugdúrz will follow Zeeva discretely. Like a bull in a china shop. And try to act like a bit of a moron in the process:
"I'm a bodyguard, me. Where Zeeva goes, I go." bluff:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 I might have convinced them Gruugdúrz is a dimwit! Woooo!
Just in case Gruugdúrz needs to make a save vs. Dylara's spell: Reflex:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Including +2 Bloodcasting bonus vs. own or allies' spells.
At just the last second Dylara decides to not cast her spell anyway. She instead takes her shield off her back and draws her longsword, still setting a scene in which combat will likely be inevitable.
Intimidate:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12
"Now let go of Zeeva," Dylara says, pointing her sword at the man. It's not very impressive though.

Spoiler:
Init I forgot:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
The pink one next to you. Which one are you attacking? The talker? Remember that for the next few rounds theres panicked people running around and they do provide cover from ranged attacks. Either way that will miss.
Seeing another spell caster the talker casts a spell. Need a will save DC 19 Saarai, VS hold person. Valhid if you have combat reflexes you can take an AoO

Yes, I was aiming for pink.
Saarai is caught off guard by the mass of people running out of the market, and her spell misses. This also throws her off her game, and she nearly succumbs to the spell cast against her.
She stiffens up, but then throws off the spell effect.
With that bellowing flourish, Gruugdúrz goes into a rage.
He does not use his Demonic Bulk, ability, though.
An 11 ft tall half-orc weighing about a ton in a crowded market with panicking people would not look good on his resumé!
… he does, however, unload on the talker bad guy ("pinky") with his claws and bite (using Power Attack for the lot).
Xien does not fully understand what is going on, but when one of the attackers approaches him with bad intentions he does not doubt to answer the offence with trident and shield.

Sorry for the delay.
Vahid takes a step back, recites a quick spell and reaches out to touch Zeeva.
Trust me, I have to get you out of here, he says to the merchant. And, with that, they both disappear.
Vahid talks a 5' step back and casts Dimension Door. He touches Zeeva, and, if she is willing, Vahid dim-doors them both back 45'-50'opposite the shelf where Saarai is standing. Zeeva must be willing for this to work. Also, if that space that is already occupied by a solid body, they take 1d6 points of damage each and are shunted to a random open space on a suitable surface within 100 feet of the intended location. I felt I had to do this because we are supposed to be protecting her but she was in a very vulnerable location. I went ahead and moved us to show my intent.

I'm sorry Dylara, I thought I saw a post from you. But that was the one before combat. Take your's and melons turn! Also Valhid everything is currently difficult terrain so no 5ft steps. You would have to cast defensively or take an AoO
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
Dylara connects but doesn't confirm the crit! Melon attacks mightily but cant seem to hit the slippery man.
Seeing the elf swing a massive sword the talker casts a spell And glitter covers the area, just missing his hireling. DC 18 Will vs glitter dust for you and melon
If the human drops to the floor, he moves closer to the rest of the party. Otherwise he performs another attack upon him.

Having failed at his first attempt to get Zeeva out of harm's way, Vahid becomes more comcerned at the gravity of the sityation and takes steps to bolster his defense.
Xien finds out surprised the human in yellow clothings is still there. Determined, he keeps attacking it with his trident.

If he drops, the nagaji steps against northwest and flanks the one in blue, otherwise he attacks again the same one.

Finding the fight tough, Xien whistles, hoping for Eidi, his lizard divine bonded mount to listen him and come on the group's help.
Handle animal (follow me trick):1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Is Eidi's mount hearing the call from Xien?
With his 50' movement he should be able to place himself next to Gruugdúrz and defend him next round.
I have moved him into the market from the drinking trough were he was standing.
Xien cries after his success with the creature dropping and steps diagonally flanking the closest enemy.

Seeing a suspicious lack of movement where Gruugdurz was fighting a moment ago, Vahid takes a quick look over his shoulder and sees the big half-orc standing stock-still. The priest takes a quick step back and intones a quick prayer to Abadar, with the intention of freeing his friend from his paralysis.
5' step back, cast Remove Paralysis on Gruugdurz. Sorry I was away so long-busy weekend.
Deity, Benevolent or Malevolent that remains to be seen.
Its technically not a paralysis but I will say it adds to his next save. And now theres a new threat near by. Xien if your mount can fit it can stand next to him, that's fine.
Seeing one of their friends downed the rest attack with a vengeance. One on Xien, one on Dylara and the last one takes a step to hit Valhid.

Well, Gruugdurz, I thought for sure Remove Paralysis would free you. Sorry about that. If I had known it wasn't going to work, I would have hit you with some cure spells. I'll do that next round.
