Okay, Bane initiates combat with a swift action, we'll go to initiative from that point as everyone is more or less ready for trouble. I've done a suprise attack for Bane and then his full round as he won initiative anyway. The rest of you are up.

Bane strikes out at the one closest to him but they appear ready and just manage to dodge the attack.

Bane: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Wyrgan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Hellion(combat reflexes): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Nox: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Dioneo: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Pai: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
baddies: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Bane then moves to attack the talker in orange robes. The man in yellow proves quicker than expected
AOO, combat reflexes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 1) + 7 = 13

fort dc16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Bane's first strike is powerful and leaves the man in orange reeling. He tries desperately to avoid Bane's next blow, but in his stunned condition can't twist away. That one sounded like breaking bones.

As Bane went past the man in blue, he also struck out at Bane.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

Nox casts fear!

30 ft cone. DC 23 will save or run away. If they make it they are shaken for 1 round instead. It should get all of them.

Svetlana concentrates on getting Zeeva out of the way.

Reposition or something between the stands, shes pretty much in Svetlanas way, AND between the party and the enemy, not a great idea...!

edited the above as the men specifically don't draw weapons until Pathfinders do, so even with combat reflexes, they won't get the AOO.

And I think this is the first time I've had a monster with CR that would actually get to use it. D'oh.

Wyrgan steps forward and strikes at the purple foe

Bastard Sword+PA 1 handed: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 = 25
DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Bastard Sword possible crit: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 = 26
DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Still need those will saves...

Pai holds her action until she sees the result of Nox's spell.

Saves for Orange and Pink. The others you would have to have pathfinders in the cone as well.

will orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
will pink: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Wyrgan strikes out a brutal blow at one of the men in armor. He grunts in pain.

'Hellion' gets Zveeta out of the line of fire.

I guess the crowd went off at this time of the fight. If it has not, I'll use another action.

Dioneo reaches for his rod of selective spell and fires a small dot of fire that quickly explodes!

Excluding Bane and Wyrgan plus two any other people that may have lingered in the zone. Ugliest fireball ever.

Fireball, Ref DC 21 halves: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 1, 6, 5, 3, 5) = 32

The crowd is still all around, if you use an AOE, you will affect them. This is still the first round of combat, and they have not actually done anything yet - not even drawn weapons.

A mass load of them are about to flee in terror from the fear spell as well.

You can retcon your fireball if you wish.

Pai readies an action to cast a spell if the closest of the enemies draws a weapon.

What spell are you readying?

Grease on the weapon that is being drawn. DC 17 Reflex.

Ok, thank you GM. Dioneo is not evil.

Dioneo begins to cast a flaming spell but stops, seeing that the innocent crowd is still there.
"Flee you fools!" he says with a booming voice.
His eyes then turn towards the blue henchman and he moves forward, casting a curse.

Oracle's Burden on the blue henchman, DC 18 or take a –4 penalty on weapon attack rolls for 6 minutes.

will: 1d20 ⇒ 4

As the pathfinders act the crowd scatters, some under supernatural influence, others to save their skins. Speaking of saving skins, the nearby banana salesman tries frantically to wheel his cart away, but it is slowing him down something terrible.

As the Aspis draw weapons, Pai lets off a spell
ref: 1d20 ⇒ 2
target: 1d3 ⇒ 2
The swordsman in blue's greatsword slips from his hand. He steps back and unlimbers a bow instead.

The stunned man in oracle writhes on the ground, while the enforcers in yellow and pink step forward to cover him.

Yellow attacks Bane
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

While the one in Pink unleashes on Wygryn
attack1: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 - 2 = 12
attack2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14
Already unnerved, he is unable to land a solid blow.

Dmg: 1d8 + 11 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 11 + (3) = 20

Swift action to spend ki for AC

AC:21

Nox casts hold person on the one in pink. Then he makes his way over to the man, drawing a mace.

DC 19 will

Wyrgan notices his companion focus on the pink foe and decides to direct his attack against the blue foe and takes a step toward the man striking with his sword...
Bastard Sword1+PA 1 handed: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18
DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Seeing that his tactic seems to work, Dioneo looks deep in the eyes of the yellow man.
"Feel the burning pain of Ymeri's curse!"

Oracle's Burden once again on the yellow man, DC 18 or take a –4 penalty on weapon attack rolls for 6 minutes.

Still here, just seeing how the various effects resolve :)

I'm with Hellion. Could I get a summary of how things are going so far this round before deciding how best to help?

Sure can. As may be obvious, I'm in a different TZ from most of you, and while I can easily post during work, evenings can be a little harder with kids around, and weekends the same. So things may be quiet for the next couple of days - I can hopefully post at least once a day though.

Bane lauches into a massive attack, but the blows are weak and unable to get through the mans armor.

Nox tries a spell on the man in pink robes
will: 1d20 ⇒ 12
who freezes in place.

Wyrgan swings a mighty blow, but again the mans armor deflects it.

Dioneo tries to repeat his tactics, this time on the swordsman in yellow.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 19
But this time the man holds out and glares at the oracle.

From nearby a storeholder calls out "Careful of my oranges!"

Pai casts Blindness on the yellow enemy, hoping to knock him out of the remainder of the fight.

DC 19 Fort save to resist.

Svetlana drops the illusion cast over herself and reveals the full suit of Hellknight Plate.

"Just drop your weapons, you have been outmatched and there is no point pressing further your disadvantage. Surrender yourselves."

She levels off her Bardiche at the least wounded.

Hold action, if yellow moves other than to drop his weapon or raise his hands she will strike

fort: 1d20 ⇒ 12
The warrior in yellow blinks, but easily overcomes the simple blindness spell.

The man in yellow robes is definitely moving, and not in a friendly manner.

Note to all: Please everyone, if you have a readied action, put the detail in (maybe in spoiler text to make it clear it is a readied action), as it keeps the pace of the game going. Please includes things like rolls, DCs - everything I need to resolve it and keep the game flowing. PbP can bog down very fast.

Seems she sails wide... that'll teach her to show mercy!

The powerful blow deflects off their concealed armor, smashing a table to splinters.

The man in orange does his best to escape the combat. However Nox manages to get a quick blow in on him.
Provokes AOO from Nox

The man in yellow robes lays into Nox with his greatsword.
attack1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
attack1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

The one in pink struggles against the hold spell.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 17
And manages to finally overcome it.

The bowman in blue steps back from Wrygan and fires two arrows at him from close range.
attack1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
attack2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
The arrows sink into him with a sick sound.

Svetlana swings into the combat again...
If Yellow is up he will wear it, otherwise she will move to attack whoever is still about

Wyrgan spends a swift action healing himself...Lay oh Hands: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7... and then steps towards the bowman to strike again with his bastard sword...
Bastard Sword+PA 1 handed: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 = 24
DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

You don't need to post in order by the way, whenever you are bold, post away

Bane unloads on the man in yellow, landing a couple of solid blows. He is still up though.

Svetlana will need to 5' step to attack yellow, but can do that and still full attack, I moved you on the map

Svetlana moves up and delivers another strong attack to the man in yellow. He's not having a good day.

Wyrgan quickly heals himself and then continues to make the bowman wish he'd taken another assignment today.

Did bane not get aoo on orange as he was adjacent to him as well

-Posted with Wayfinder

No, he withdrew. Nox got the AOO from the second square Orange moved out of.

Ah makes sense. I dont know why I didnt put 2 and 2 together

Pai pulls out her newest acquisition, a shiny new wand, speaks a command word, and three magical missiles streak toward the yellow enemy.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) + 3 = 9

As the magical darts strike the man in yellow he grunts in pain. He is starting to look rather the worse for wear.

If there is room enough now... I exclude up to four people with the selective rod. I'll let you place the pattern as I'm on my phone.

Dioneo fires a ball of fire to burn these infidels to ashes!

Fireball, Ref DC 21 halves: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 1, 5, 3, 2, 2) = 24

"Boom" there is a sudden flash and a the smell of cooked (or should that be burned) fruit fills the room.

reflex: 3d20 ⇒ (10, 3, 17) = 30

The one in yellow falls over, probably dead.

Cue De Grace: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

The one who was held escaped the spell. Pick a different action.

Nox struck the man in yellow as he fled. Then turning to try to finish off the man in pink robes is disappointed to see he had managed to shrug off the spell.

Nox casts a spell defensively.

He then tries to touch the man.

Inflict Serious Damage: 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 5, 7) + 8 = 25 DC 22 Will for half

will: 1d20 ⇒ 8

The man in pink cries out in pain as Nox touches him. He throws down his sword. The bowman, cursed, seeing his leader fled and his two companions dead or surrendered makes tracks for the main entrance.

Withdrawl action, combat can be over if you wish at this point.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Svetlana has no interest in chasing, their work here is pretty much done...

Her armour once more disappears.

Pai is happy to let the fleeing enemies withdraw. "Make sure that one is secure. We need to figure out the real purpose they are so interested in this market. Zeeva, we need somewhere private to talk," Pai asks the merchant, more like an order than a question.

fort: 1d20 ⇒ 8
The bowman manages to avoid the worst of Bane's assault.
Did you do damage, or just try to stun?

"I have an office... says Zeeta.

Nox begins looking through the thugs things. "I hear a strange chanting." He comments.

Can I use linguistics to figure out what its for?

the 24 to his ac missed him? Yes all i wanted to do was stun him. If it failed thats fine he can escape. I can charge threw friendlies and difficult terrain

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Bane: The 24 hit him, but he made the fort save.
@Nox: Linguistics is more for written, but with a 21... it sounds angry.
