After the amazing blow from the hobgoblin, Kavaki sees an opening and attempts to follow the attack with an attempt to trip the enemy...
At 4th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against an opponent that the flowing monk threatens and that attacks an ally with a melee attack. At 8th level, a flowing monk can make both a reposition and a trip maneuver as part of a single immediate action with this ability. At 12th level, a flowing monk can use redirection against any opponent that attacks him in melee, even if the flowing monk is not threatening the opponent who attacks him. A flowing monk can use this ability once per day per monk level, but no more than once per round. This ability replaces stunning fist.

Kavaki swings his temple sword low in an attempt to trip the hobgoblin...
... when the hobgoblin is caught off guard and hits the floor, Kavaki's training takes control and he delivers a blow with his free handed fist...
(+4 = prone)
You take advantage of the moment to brutally kick an enemy when he is down.
Prerequisites: Combat Reflexes, Improved Unarmed Strike.
Benefit: Whenever an opponent falls prone adjacent to you, that opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from you. This attack must be an unarmed strike.
... then attempts to skillfully slide by the enemy to get around to the other side...
Move through an enemy's space: dc = 5 + opponent's Combat Maneuver Defense
"Once again I remind you. Don't start things YOU can't finish.
Kavaki's attempt to trip the hobgoblin with redirection fails, but after taking the hobgoblin's attack Kavaki manages to succesfully trip the hobgoblin.
The hobgoblin's just barely on the floor when Kavaki stomps him in the face. Kavaki then slips past the prone hobgoblin without the least hint of effort. Meanwhile Chyras, Alanya, Branson and Traceni moves closer.
When the hobgoblin tries to stand up from his prone position he provokes another attack from Kavaki.

The temple sword sinks deep into the hobgoblin's back when he tries to get up. He didn't stand a chance against Kavaki.
"The sooner we get this resolved the better.
These narrow corridors....how are people to walk past each other smoothly? Sheesh..."
The small rooms Kavaki searches, formerly the cells of Aroden’s clergy, are mostly dark, although narrow, barred windows dimly light those along the exterior walls.
The rooms in this area now contains guest quarters for Pathfinders and a number of conference rooms. The rooms marked Q on the map are guest chambers; most contain simple beds (their mattresses slit open), broken desks, and upturned wardrobes. The rooms marked C are conference rooms, with solid wood tables, finely carved chairs, and easels for displaying maps and charts. All valuables in these rooms are gone, and the area's ransacked. this left refuse throughout the main hallway, making it difficult terrain.
Traceni puts away her shield and morningstar while she stares absently into the air. "I have to go," she suddenly announces, just before Kavaki enters the door to the next room. "I will maybe see you later. The fairies need me now."
She runs back the way the party came, and disappears from the cathedral.
You hear a door open in the secret corridor, and a young woman enters the secret corridor. She notices the party, and moves closer.
"My name's Kyra. I'm a cleric of Sarenrae, and the Society sent me after you to aid you. One of you passed me in the hallway, and I have a feeling I arrived just in time?"
"Because I'm a cleric I can cast healing spells, but I have prepared only one cure light wounds spell. I can also cast bless and shield of faith, each once. Let me know if you want their effects, else I'll use them when I think I should."
Kavaki hears a voice behind the door, but can't hear what's being said. He carefully opens the door after Kyra's been given the wand.
A soft blue glow fills this room, emanating from the stained-glass windows lining three of its walls, each depicting a godlike figure in a different city. Frescoes of angels lifting Aroden to the sky cover the ceiling.
Despite its obvious design as a chapel, the room itself has no religious trappings. Instead of pews, the remnants of a large wooden table and a dozen chairs fill the chamber. Much of their wood has been cannibalized to create a makeshift wooden gallows across the chamber’s eastern end. Behind the gallows, three low stairs ascend to a raised area with two overstuffed chairs.
Three people, two male humans and a female human, hang from the gallows. They look conscious, but staggered, and are currently standing on a bench. A fourth human, an unconscious male, lies between the chairs on the dais. Next to the bench stands an armored hobgoblin with a spiked chain.
"So you're the ones who triggered the alarm!" the hobgoblin says. He grins and kicks the bench out from under the feet of those who hang from the gallows. "If you came to rescue these, you'd better be fast."

Kavaki provokes an attack from the hobgoblin. Just before the hobgoblin's chain hits him, Kavaki trips the enemy. After hitting the floor the hobgoblin looks like he's about to puke.

If Branson thinks he can lift the bench back up and get all three of them standing on it with his standard action, he'll do that. If he doesn't, and he can use a standard action to lift the first of the danglers off of a hook or something, he will.
Also, if he needs to go in harm's way to do the bench thing, he'll do so.
Branson moves to a position north of Kavaki, staying out of the enemy's reach. He succeeds in placing the bench back where it was, and the three humans hanging from the gallows are at least temporarily saved.
The enemy tries to stand up up from prone, and provokes an attack from both Alanya and Kavaki.

Kavaki drinks the potion he grabbed prior to engaging Hagla (potion of true strike). Provokes AoO due to drinking potion with move action. Then attempts a "reposition" combat maneuver. This provokes a 2nd AoO (not improved reposition) if Hagla is able to take 2 AoO's
You can attempt to reposition a foe to a different location as a standard action. You can only reposition an opponent that is no more than one size category larger than you. A reposition attempts to force a foe to move to a different position in relation to your location without doing any harm. If you do not have the Improved Reposition feat or a similar ability, attempting to reposition a foe provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. You cannot use this maneuver to move a foe into a space that is intrinsically dangerous, such as a pit or wall of fire.
If your attack is successful, you may move your target 5 feet to a new location. For every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent's CMD, you can move the target an additional 5 feet. The target must remain within your reach at all times during this movement, except for the final 5 feet of movement, which can be to a space adjacent to your reach.
An enemy being moved by a reposition does not provoke an attack of opportunity because of the movement unless you possess the Greater Reposition feat. You cannot move a creature into a square that is occupied by a solid object or obstacle.
moving Hagla left 1 square, just above Alanya, Kavaki makes a demand of Hagla, "Get away from those people!"
Chyras successfully dazes the hobgoblin, but Alanya is unable to penetrate the enemy's armor.
Branson successfully unties one of the people hanging from the gallow. He then tries to move south, but can't: that's where Kavaki is standing.
