The cultist swears in Abyssal and pulls himself upright. After swallowing his vomit, he shuffles outside the cloud of noxious gas.
The tumorous devil utters a guttural scream and turns to slap at the pig-thing.
The right arm connects, leaving the hog with a bloody scrape showing through her fur.
Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can’t move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details).
The sleet extinguishes torches and small fires.
Those with two turns may not attack with their delayed turn, but may move into position.

Vogue, along with the rest of the group, moves as quickly towards the final enemy as he can. Stupid pews and gas in my way. No way I'm puking though. That would ruin my shirt! Meanwhile,Pazacku is face down, eating sleet.
The death of the devil has the remaining citizens calmer, though that may also be from the vomit which most are experiencing. Several are making their way to the door. The Lady who Grey saved looks up at him in thanks. "Time to go! My deposit isn't worth this! "
The cultist bats at the wild hog, desperately trying to defend himself while avoiding puking all over himself. "Back up, bacon! " Deciding that perhaps he is in over his head, he runs toward the door.

The group closes in on the cultist, the end of this fight in sight. Grey swings, long enough to distract the man for a well timed thrust by Lucy. Screaming in pain, he doesn't see Reaper's flail coming. He gets dumped onto the ground with a crash. Sleet in his eyes, vision a little blurry, with a turning stomach, he makes the mistake of standing up.

Grey and Lucy step in, their weapons preventing the cultist from rising. He falls back to the floor, dying. " I give up my life in service to my liege! We have done what we came to do! We have delayed you enough! The key is out of your grasp now!" With that, he dies. The civilian auction attendees near you start cheering and flee out the windows, with their way no longer blocked.
Some of the other Pathfinders have already despatched their respective cultists and given chase. The rest are still battling theirs. Trusting in their ability, your team quickly leaps out the broken windows of the cathedral to hunt down the fleeing assassin and the runecarved key. The streets of evening Magnimar is still full of foot and vehicular traffic, and you almost lose sight of her. But there! Just leaping over a fruitcart in the distance! That's her! The assassin!

Actions During a Chase
To clear a square, you need to take a move action to move through the square, then use a standard action to face one of that square’s two obstacles to exit the square. The DCs are unknown and unequal.
A character may attempt to move three squares during his turn by taking a full-round action. That character must overcome both obstacles on the square he is leaving. In this case, if a character fails either obstacle check by 5 or less, he only moves one square forward and his turn ends. If a character fails either obstacle check by more than 5, he cannot move at all that turn. A character who fails both obstacle checks in a turn becomes mired in his current square. A mired character must spend another full-round action becoming unmired, effectively losing his next turn.
Instead of exiting a square, a character can choose to take another standard action not directly related to navigating the chase’s course, such as casting a spell, channel energy, activate a wand or drinking a potion.
A character can choose to make a ranged attack or cast a spell during his turn in a chase. If the action is a full-round action, he can’t move at all. A character can only make melee attacks against targets that are in the same square.
Distance: Each card represents a 30-foot distance, to estimate distances for ranged attacks and spells.
Cover/Concealment
A creature more than 3 cards away has total cover (i.e. can't be targetted).
Creatures 3 cards away have improved cover (+8 AC, +4 ref save) and concealment (20% miss chance).
Creatures 2 cards away have partial cover (+2 AC, +1 ref save) and concealment (20% miss chance).
Creatures 1 card away only have partial cover (+2 AC, +1 ref save).
Movement Rates: Characters with enhanced movement rates receive a +2 bonus on all skill checks made to bypass an obstacle for every 10 feet of movement they possess beyond their initial 30-foot movement speed. Characters with movement rates less than 30 feet receive a –2 penalty for every 10 feet by which their speed is less than 30 feet. If a character can fly, he/she bypasses the obstacles and can move a number of squares according to its speed.
Creative Skill Use
If you can roleplay it, I'll allow other skills to be used for each card, but the DCs would be higher.
Unskilled Characters: If you get stuck at the same square for two rounds, in your third round, you "found another way around". :)
The veiled assassin sees your party leaping out the cathedral windows, and hastily turns back and continue dashing down the street. She comes to a giant pothole in front of her, but she hardly gives it a thought as she leaps gracefully over it. With the crowd of passersby, she is barely in view now.

Pazacku tries to get through the crowd nicely but there was just a good of auction attendees desperate to get away from the church who pushed in. Now, the crowd isn't having any of it. He is stuck on the steps.
Grey and Lucy charge into the crowd together but Lucy gets blocked by a cart and gets lost in the crowd. She is forced to make her way back to the temple steps without her monkey. Grey makes it through and is blocked by a narrow cluttered alleyway, filled with broken furniture and other junk that have been dumped unceremoniously.
Meanwhile, Reaper pushed his way through the crowd and saw a shortcut! He launches into it, sprinting as fast as he can. When he pops back out, he sees the assassin only 30 feet away! The assassin turns, surprised at how fast he caught up. She changes tactics, pulling a potion out of her pouch and drinking it. Within seconds, she disappears!

Vogue, lithe as can be, sneaks through the crowd by focusing on the muscles in the bodies of those he passes.
Pazacku and Bennybeck, in awe of Vogue's grace, watch him go.

Vogue leaps over the heap of refuse, with just an inch between him and an epic fail. He lands gracefully on the other side, looming at a cross street which is blocked by a rather large fruit cart.
Just beyond the cart, Reaper slips in a pot hole full of mud and falls flat on his face. It's going to take quite a bit of cleaning to get that mud out of his armor!
Grey stands in awe of Vogue's acrobatic skills on a pole. Wishing Lady Lucy was with him, his wish is granted as Lucy flies by him at the speed of sound, gracefully leaping the large pile of garbage. She ends up next to Reaper, sniffing at his muddy body.
Fingalad waves at Pazacku and Bennybeck, then he is off! Quickly he forces his way through the crowd and over the crowded alley. He ends up beside Vogue. The belligerent fruit cart operator looks at you both, annoyed. "Hey, be careful! I'm trying to sell here! "
Reaper and Lucy cannot see the assassin, or any actions from their quarry.
