Roles at the Opera:
Leading Male (Sheng) There are two leading male roles for the performance, the General and the Monkey King.
The General wears a long beard and fights with a wooden sword (1d8 nonlethal) and armor (treat as splint mail).
The Monkey King wears an elaborate monkey mask. The Monkey King is portrayed as an acrobat and trickster and is permitted to cast spells.
Leading Females (Dan) There are two leading female roles, the Warrior Woman and the Wizened Crone.
The Warrior Woman wears full armor (treat as splint mail) and peacock feathers, and fights with a dulled, bladed polearm (1d8 nonlethal).
The Wizened Crone wears long robes and walks with a cane. She is permitted to cast spells.
Painted Faces (Jing) The Jing role represents a strong and forceful male. The two choices for this performance are the Noble Warrior and the Cruel Bandit.
Noble Warrior wears red face paint and full armor (treat as splint mail), and wields a large club (1d10 nonlethal).
The Cruel Bandit wears blue face paint and wields a long wooden knife (1d4 nonlethal), specially balanced to allow a capable individual to make nonlethal sneak attacks with it.
Clowns (Chou) (2) These humorous characters are allowed to speak with the audience in order to make jokes at their opponents’ expense. Chou are also permitted to cast spells. Male Chou identify their characters by painting wide white circles around their eyes. Female Chou paint their faces red with black circles about the eyes. Clown costumes do not include weapons; however, Chou can carry and wield a broom or stick (treat as an improvised weapon dealing 1d6 nonlethal damage), claiming it to be whatever weapon they desire for the sake of performance and comedic value.

Faeria, you will need to move a little if you want to keep your raft, as you can't really concentrate on it from within the mist.

Elneth clutches the second ruby also within his mouth "If-gof-anoffef-one-guyf!"
Unable to see what is going on within the mist Elneth focuses on defensing her position. Then she overhears a man shouting and she asks as aloud as her full mouth allows her "Faf-iff-goinf-on-ffefe! Fo-you-neef-feff-ffefe?"
She steps out of the mist and readies an action to attack anyone, not an ally, approaching her position with bad intentions or a ruby.

Sir Ninn stows his ruby, then calls out to his allies before moving, "Is anybody under attack? I can't see you."Please guard and protect my allies in my absence, Iomedae.

Coughing as he leaves the mist, Amarion looks around trying to find a clear shot on the swordsman. Not seeing one, he shrugs and resumes trying to find the gems.
Perception:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Sir Nin and Deluge bracket the man, with Deluge healing himself via a wand. Amarion continues to search for rubies.
Faeria continues to concentrate on distracting the crowd, while Victoria tries to disarm the man, but the mist thwarts her efforts.

Oh by the nine hells, out of the way!
Amarion nimbly hops up on top of the table acrobatics:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 and shouts Sound off unless you like being blinded! moments before pulling out a handful of colored sand and shattering it upon the mind of the swordsman. Color Spray Will DC 17
Given you can only see 5', how are you intending to aim the spell to get only the swordsman? Also where your figure is on the map... is a large pool, and hole in the floor that drops down to the sea below. While a possible exit route, it almost certainly has risks of its own.

Elneth advances carefully towards the direction of her allies shouts and the sounds of combat. By when she reaches the back of Sir Ninn, she observes the man is fighting against something she cannot see within the mist.
Thus, she readies to attack in case she sees the aggressor "Wfefe-if-fe? I-fan-nof-fi-fim"

I can do it from the bar Amarion's currently standing on anyways. And the Sound off! should allow me to get a sense of where people are, at least enough to avoid their 5' space. I just figured waiting for 5 people to say I speak loudly so Amarion doesn't hit me with a spell was something better to short cut in this special :p
I'll go with that will:1d20 + 1d4 ⇒ (9) + (4) = 13
Amarion sends a beautiful spray of colour into the mist, which illuminates it nicely. Just in time for Deluge to spot a ruby gem.
[ooc]Between the mist and the color spray you can easily get away from the swordsman if you want, or you could continue to attack him.

The man is stunned, and thus has dropped his weapon.
To the east of Deluge is a window. Looking around, you can see groups of warriors clustered around various windows and doors, waiting for someone to try and make an escape.
Which I have kept off the map for simplicity sake.
If you want to make a break through the window, you'll have to fight your way out.
Sir Ninn picks up the dropped weapon, then follows Deluge. "We have our rubies, let's get out of this place with as little fighting as possible. To the window with Deluge!"
We will be fighting our way out through the window. Let us know what rolls you require. Say, I sure hope those are large windows because Deluge is a large man.

"I-am-fofefing-you-in-ffa-effafe-ouf!" says Elneth placing her axe in the front line to help the party penetrate the crowd and get out. That said, she points to the waters hole in the middle of the tavern "Founfenf-if-fe-eafy-fo-gef-ouf-fffouff-ffe-wafefs?"

Amarion sizes up the Half-Orc. Ugh, this won't end except in bloodshed, but let the fools try to reason with him. I won't be blamed for what's about to happen
The orc screams a loud battle cry and springs to the attack!

"Please, DROP YOUR WEAPON and let us pass. You haven't done anything yet that an apology cannot fix."At least, according to Sir Brindleton's theory of moral culpability. Miles Gorant's Impractical Ethos argues differently.
Sir Ninn raises his voice momentarily to alert his allies of the danger, then steps away and back into the combat. As the orc attacks him again, Sir Ninn finally fights back, and says, "Deluge, move behind me quick. Before he recovers his balance."

"Huh, I wanna special ruby!" Faeria says to herself. Her voice dreamy, but sulky.
So the website still occasionally sucks when I need to post something long and complex.... In brief, Crowd? No crowd? Is everyone jammed against the exits? Did any part of it take the bait? Did Faeria actually need to roll concentration checks all the rounds she did? Note if she did (in which case she failed the last one) her school ability means the illusion is still up and running for a round. [SELECT ALL][COPY][CLICK SUBMIT POST][PRAY--this is a very expensive monitor, I would hate to break it.]
Sir Ninn provokes the wild man who swings again at him
attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
And misses badly.
Amarion's own spell is not that much better directed.

@Faeria, as time has gone on, more people have noted the illusion. I've typically put a post in about that. That said, the room is one gigantic melee, so people fighting for their lives (or rubies) have more pressing concerns. And yes, given the jostle of the crowd, you do have to make a concentration check each round. What you are doing is not specifically covered in the scenario, but I've tried to provide a mechanical benefit to your group where appropriate. You can (and probably should) still move during the round.[/ooc]
Elneth lands a solid blow with her axe, while Deluge tumbles out the window.

This time with no mist around, Victoria has no problems disarming the half orc. His greatsword goes flying.
Badly wounded and disarmed, he reluctantly steps back from the window.
You may either continue the battle, or flee the tavern through the window with your rubies

Thanks. Avoiding the mist cloud, Faeria double moves (at half speed) to the landside door, arms clutching her bag of belongings..

With the half-orc removed from the window, Elneth opens the way herself and jumps through the window to the alley outside making a sign for the others to follow. The half-elf makes an effort to avoid damaging herself with the rubies in her mouth.
Without warning, loud slamming noises echo through the tavern, even over the fray of the combat within. Moments later, the front doors rupture in a shower of splinters. In full battle regalia, a contingent of Absalom’s First Guard rush into the room. Swinging heavy chains and nets, they beat into the brawlers en mass, dragging dozens to the floor. The remainder of the contestants break from their opponents, and the crowd devolves into a raging mob as all race frantically for the nearest exit to avoid arrest.
