DM Observation:
The teal square is a 5' square and starting point for Alicia as she started this combat by opening the door. It's my understanding that she'll (probably) be the only valid charging PC this round as she's the only person able to do so from that starting point, as all other lines are currently blocked to the guards. And unless I'm wrong, you need to be able to draw a straight line to your target to start a charge, correct?
This may allow a 2nd pc to sneak a charge in depending on where you start.
You are all somewhere behind, or beside, Alicia in the O,P,Q,R,S rows, and 1-4 columns. If need be I can make the map a bit bigger and pop your tokens on there. You should probably let me know where you are first before declaring actions so I could see where you are on the map.

Alicia growls as the guards start to yell. She hates being wrong, and she is frightened of being locked back up, as well. The corded muscles on her legs bunch up furiously as she takes off, swiftly moving down the hall to engage the guard on the right. "Shut up, you!

Intimidating them in this fashion (demoralize) would require a standard action. You can't do both this and charge in the same round.

As the guards shout there is only a split second delay as Sykes charges the one Alicia went after, having to remind himself that he is now armed with a sword which at this point might work slightly better than his teeth.

DM Observation:
You go before Alicia according to your init. roll, and she's currently blocking the door. That would be an obstacle to charge no matter where you start, behind or beside her.
If you hold your action to go after her, you 'might' be able to still charge and hit, depending on your starting square. :) But ya, their flat footed AC is still higher than your confirm roll :)

Tenoch curses as Alicia opens the door without even attempting to discern what is beyond. "This is what you mean by speed and silence?" he mutters. Seeing the guards in the distance and hearing their call for horns, Tenoch moves out from the group. Not able to charge, he instead uses his mobility to get around behind the guards, offering flanking opportunity to any who can get in an attack, and making it more difficult for them to sound an alarm.
Alaric double moves to D4 so he's threatening the guard in C3.

Tenoch has been moved to his listed location.
Need an action plan from Sykes, and his starting square.
Please see the new map for a more detailed view right here:
I changed the coordinates as numbers are easier to count than letters. This will stump no one you're all gamers and can figure out the new locations :)
Initiative orders are as follows:
DM Note 1:
Until Alicia moves no one can perform a charge through her square. (She's an obstacle currently, you could hold your action until she moves however and then change your initiative to 14 and then try to charge.)DM note 2:
You need to have no obstructions between your target when you start your charge, a wall (such as what is north of B16) is one, as well as your ally who is occupying the doorway currently. Also checking out the attempted move, I don't think you can move, then charge, it's a full round action with tight restrictions on moving, making a diagonal move either from or to b16 then back out is going to invalidate the legal charge. As it stands, being behind Alicia (my assumption of where you are) you cant reach them anyway with 60' of movement, unless you have tricks I didn't notice. (you may.)
DM note 3:
Don't pre-roll anything please, if an AOO happens then roll. Actions may change based on round by round combat moves etc. :)

DM:
Seeing as Sykes hasn't made an official move You can go now Aramil on 23.
Nope, Charge rules specifically say you can't make a free 5' step.
Aramil will make a 5 feet move to A 17 and attack the right guard with his longbow.

Yea I wasn't paying attention to the big dark line there lul. In this case I will move through my allies to D 15, and attack with the bow. Rolls are already made, unless you will be the kindest GM ever and let me roll them again :D

DM:
Guard 1 actions on initiative 13:
Free 5' step south.
Move action: draws his longsword.
Standard action: Attack Alicia with Longsword
Result: The longsword rebounds off of Alicia's stolen shield with a loud clang.
DM:
So both guards have been hit, both are very wounded. Why don't the rest of you take your actions and I'll have the guards go after that to speed up combat (assuming they survive this round anyway)
DM:
I'll put Sykes next to Alicia for now (her left).
Alaric moves up, unable to charge due to intervening characters, he just double moves to threaten a guard.
Hmph, maybe better let them satiate their thirst for blood. Especially the insect-man. Wouldn't want him to walk around hungry behind my back.
Aramil stands down and calmly observers the slaughter on his turn.
Malendia moved in as close as she could and fixed a steely stare upon one of the guards.
Adria cursed under her breath as the door swung open to reveal the two guards at the far end of the hallway - too far away for her limited magicks to affect before one could raise the signal horn he carried to his lips.
Thankfully, her companions recognized the danger as well and swiftly tried to close the distance. Adria followed behind, praying silently to whatever vile god chose to listen that one of them would put a sword through that guardsman's throat before he had the chance to use it.
