While keeping up his inspiring song, Celebdan changes the inflections somewhat, drawing upon magical power to summon a pool of grease into existence under Ivira and one of the (green) guards. He then repositions himself, getting ready to attack them should they attempt to stand.
Cast grease, DC15, orange box. Celebdan has reach weapon, but no combat reflexes. Rolling his AoO below in case anyone falls prone and attempts to stand. He'll prioritise his AoO on Ivira if possible.
Peeking out, Whims magics a splash of acid at the green robed guard. The splash go wide missing the guard. Whims is spotted before she has a chance to duck back into hiding.
Still inspiring, Celebdan creates as magic grease spot under two of the aspis agents. Both of them maintain their footing.
The Green and Cyan robed guards shift to flank Jajori before attacking him. Unfortunately for them all there attacks miss.
Ivira rapidly reloads her hand crossbow, then draws a toothpick out only to break it in half. There is a blinding flash and a dark cloud of smoke appears that obscures all vision. Then she shifts 5ft.
everyone (Celebdan, Hadanka, Jayori, and Lannior) in the area of effect must make a DC 13 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds.

Stunning fist - Fortitude saving throw DC15. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round. A stunned character drops everything held, can't take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC.
Ivira rapid reload (free action), draws a toothpick, activate item, 5ft move.
This simple wooden toothpick is useful for creating flashy diversions on stage or in a fight. Breaking the toothpick causes a blinding flash and a dark cloud of smoke to appear. Creatures other than the user within 20 feet must succeed at a DC 13 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4+1 rounds. The cloud of smoke spreads 20 feet in all directions, obscures all sight (including darkvision), and lasts for 3 rounds.
green fortitude save vs blind:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Cyan fortitude save vs blind:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
GM, when Ivira loaded her crossbow, she was within Celebdan's reach and would have provoked an AoO from him. Rolled in the previous post.
Celebdan frowns in frustration that the enemies fail to be dropped by his spell. He notices Ivira pulling out the stick, and averts his eyes just in time to avoid getting blinded.
fort:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
He quickly races out of the smoke, circles around to where he roughly thinks Ivira might come out of, and readies to attack with his glaive as soon as someone exits from the smoke.
I'm assuming Celebdan has no idea where she moved to since he was no adjacent to her.
Sorry, Everyone should be bold (able to act). It was a late night post for me.
Smoke obscures all vision, so it is total concealment with 50% miss chance to attacks.
Yes Celebdan’s AoO hits, but dosn’t do enough to take her down so Ivira curses herself for not waiting to reload the hand crossbow until after creating the smoke screen, or shifting out of threat.
Tatiana, there are Maps, correspondence , and ledgers each group of items take 1 round to gather up, which do you take first?

Coughing slightly form the thick smoke, Jayori nevertheless continues trying to clear out the guards that surround him, sticking with his original target, trusting Hádanka can deal with the blind one.
Ray: Some effects are rays. You aim a ray as if using a ranged weapon, though typically you make a ranged touch attack rather than a normal ranged attack. As with a ranged weapon, you can fire into the dark or at an invisible creature and hope you hit something. You don't have to see the creature you're trying to hit, as you do with a targeted spell. Intervening creatures and obstacles, however, can block your line of sight or provide cover for the creature at which you're aiming.
Yes can fire a ranged weapon at a square that you have line of effect to.
Not bothered by the flash, Hadanka slashes his scythe through the smoke at where the green guard was last seen. His scythe connects with something, shortly followed by painful screen that is cut short followed by a thud as a body falls.
Having landed a blow just before the flash and smoke, Celebdan blinks the stars from his eyes as he moves and readies and attack.
In the meeting tent, Tatiana gathers up the ledgers.
Momentarily blinded, Lannior sight clears up as he shifts out of the smoke and takes a wild shot into the smoke not hitting anything. see wild shot roll in spoiler
Jayori swings at the cyan guard connecting with the side of his trident. There is a muffled thud followed by another thud of a body collapsing.

If both guards fell on his turn, would Jayori have been allowed to move last round? (Half speed I assume, given the visibility)
Both guards removed from the equation, Jayori slowly makes his way along where he saw Celebdan's grease spell take effect, working his way around to the far side.
Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
As he goes, he hears the sound of someone through the smoke, and homes in on that location, taking a single sideways blow towards where he heard it, though he comes nowhere near anything, almost tripping himself up instead.

@GM - I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are pointing out? Could you explain what your ruling is, so I know how to proceed in the next round. Please and thanks.
@GM - Also did my spellcraft check identify the spell cast?
Celebdan waits but see no enemies emerging from the smoke. Instead he hears someone, likely Ivira, chugging down a potion, but his ears are not sharp enough to pinpoint her location. Keeping up his inspiring song, Celebdan continues to wait, ready to slash at any enemy that emerges.
@Lannior - Making an attack against a target with total concealment, but still have line of effect. You can't directly target the individual, but you can attempt to attack into a specific square. if that square is occupied you have a 50/50 chance of hitting the individual given attack roll vs AC. Since you didn't indicate a specific square to attack into I rolled randomly for your targeted square give there were 10 possible squared the foes could possibly occupying.
@Lannior - Spellcraft would indicate she didn't cast a spell, but instead activated a magic item."

@GM - Thanks! That make sense, thanks for taking time to explain it. I would have targeted the last square I saw her in; but since I didn't specify, I'm fine with how you resolved it.
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Lannior hears the drinking but can't pinpoint the location, he begin to circle the smoke cloud looking through the wisps trying to see how's who, when he can't find anyone he holds his shot ready in case a foe emerges near him
Kent: ”... so she should be flat-footed against my attacks...?” Yes, everyone in the smoke area is effectively blind, -2 AC, No dex to AC, DC 10 acrobatic to move more than half speed, 50% miss checks apply.”
Stepping over a fallen guard, Jayori moves around in the smoke taking a swipe at something, but not connecting.
Picking up the correspondence, Tatiana packs them away.
Hearing something, Celebdan keeps vigilant outside the smoke as he continues to inspire his allies.
Hearing enough to take a shot, Kent fires into the smoke, but nether shot strikes home. (50% miss chance still applies. Rolled a miss for the first attack, second missed by AC)
Listing to the sounds, Lannior waits patently outside ready to attack.
Making her way into the meeting tent, Whims offers to help Tatiana who points out the maps.
Hadanka delays.
perception DC 20:
You hear someone move, draw something out and throw it.
If you beat the DC by 20 you pinpoint which square she is in. Still a 50% miss chance applies.
Out of the smoke comes a bottle that hits the Orange tent and exploding in fire. Alchemical Fire The oil soaked tent immediately catches fire and starts burning as well. Both Tatiana and Whims take fire damage from being inside the burning tent. The tent still stands for now, but will soon collapse once it has taken enough damage.

Celebdan finds himself starting to lose his usual cool, frustrated by the inability to pinpoint the elusive Ivira. He glances briefly at the burning tent, but not having any means to put it out, he races across to the other side of the smoke cloud, and once again, gets ready to strike should Ivira emerge from the smoke or if the smoke dissipates.

Unable to figure out where the woman went, Jayori tries to sense her presence through more divine means, as he slowly moves towards the far side of the cloud.
Casting detect evil and scanning the northeast quadrant of the cloud. I realize the 60' cone is bigger then that, but figure its just the cloud portion that's relevant
If he senses something, he will move that direction.

Tatiana says Unfortunately not, the Lady has not granting me the vision of a fire and I haven't prepare create water... But I take this, take the rest!
Tatiana grabs some of the maps and get out.
@GM can we split the action between Tatiana and Whims to take the maps?
One standard for each?
Seeing that the maps have been gotten, Tatiana exits the tent then heals some of her burns.
Seeing the magic cast protects Ivira from ranged attacks, Lannior drops his bow and rushes the aspis leader with his longspear driving it into her side.
Charges back at the woman, Hadanka uses the last of his rage to drive his scythe into her flesh killing her instantly.
Stepping up with a verbal retort, Jayori instead delivers her eulogy.
Holding his fire, Kent remains ready for a moment more.
Last out of the burning tent is Whims holding a armload of maps, comments about the heat.
Heartened that his allies made it out of the tent, Celebdan pokes at the dead aspis agent.

If the guard is questions:
He reveals that “Ivira’s boss” hired them to help test the sun orchid elixir’s defenses. He only knows the boss’s initials are K.A.
orange tent documents:
The documents contains records of Prince Zinlo’s involvement in the Consortiums’ scheme, including a detailed provenance of every resource he provided the Aspis agents (mainly information about the Emir’s planned defenses). In addition you discover the notes describe plans to send multiple decory transports to confuse would-be-thieves and to move some vials of the elixir by other means entirely. The records also show that Prince Zinlo and the Aspis Consortium conducted extensive trades with each other at favorable rates. These documents are of particular interest to members of the Sovereign Court Faction.
Finale meeting with Lady Ziralia:
Ziralia once again conveys the Guldis’s gratitude for testing testing his convoy’s defenses. She personally thanks you for disrupting a plot by the Aspis that would have bankrupted Pashow.
Do you inform her about Prince Zinlo’s involvement discovered in the Aspis documents?

Tatiana notes all of that and agrees with her comrades to let Lady Ziralia knows about her father involvement.
