It's ok, I will probably switch back to spells after this round. Looks like Purple takes the hit, and I shoot through Blue's square with no penalty because I can ignore one target of soft cover thanks to a trait.
@Vinni I see you have a few cloud/fog type spells (and will likely gain more).
A good opener before getting into a big group combat is Ashen Path (specifically for the secondary effect) which will really up the tactical impact of visibility reduction spells and make your sneak/ranged attackers very happy
@Saoirse When you are up again, I could you some extra space behind me to step back and re-arm.
This is the source I'm relying on for the rule that retrieving a dropped weapon on a weapon cord provokes an AoO.
I don't usually insist upon enforcing turn order when most everyone is moving in a block, but in this case, I think I need to.
Vinni stepped into Saorise's vacated square, unfortunately, it would not be vacated yet at the time of his turn. Also, Albert's player had requested the step back to give him room to maneuver, which he does need because he is not drawing a sheathed weapon, but instead retrieving the sword he dropped.
@Albert, I think you are describing a makeshift Weapon Cord:
Weapon Cord: Weapon cords are 2-foot-long leather straps that attach your weapon to your wrist. If you drop your weapon or are disarmed, you can recover it as a swift action, and it never moves any further away from you than an adjacent square. However, you cannot switch to a different weapon without first untying the cord (a full-round action) or cutting it (a move action or an attack, hardness 0, 0 hp). Unlike a locked gauntlet, you can still use a hand with a weapon cord, though a dangling weapon may interfere with finer actions.
And yes, I see your post now that you are. It keeps the weapon in your square with you and reduces the action to swift to retrieve it, but no it doesn't negate the AoO.
@Vinni, you can move on your turn to the space directly north (or east) of Andreas to target him with a Cure spell, but you will drop down off the stairs to the floor below and be in striking distance of the Lizardfolk. To prevent your own AoO, you can cast the spell before you move and only deliver the touch after your movement.
Stairs are 10 ft above the floor at the top, where Moondancer the wolf is currently and drops about 1 foot in height above the floor for every 5 feet of stairs, so the drop is only 3-4 feet and won't require a check.
And if have space to take a step back and pull up my sword, I will do that.
Rillka, am I correct you haven't added in any bonuses from the party buffs?
You are correct - Rillka should have a +4 to the attack roll if my understanding of the initiative and bonuses is correct
Won't hurt the wisp any but will hopefully occupy everyone else, and likely negate the spellcaster if they catch fire, giving the people who can hit the Wisp a chance to focus on it.
@Andreas, you indicated two actions for this round, one on Rillka's turn. I will default to the most recent unless you state otherwise before I complete the update.
@Saorise, you can maintain performance as a free action and still cast. Are you sure you want to stop performing?
No I'll maintain. I think I forgot that. So bonuses all remain and the bastards hopefully burn.
I am sorry I was confused. I read that the rest of the party was up, so I assumed that was us again. Sorry

Hold on to those rolls, though!

Likely many of you already know, but we are to experience a scheduled outage soon. They expect 2-3 days down but it's always possible for things to not go as planned. I can get together a Discord server for us if you are interested.
I am fine with a discord as a back up.
I'm fine either way.
