As Fendel races over the rooftops, several things happen in quick succession:
First, the archer glances at Fendel briefly, brow furrowed, then nods slightly. He releases his arrow, which flies silently through the air and strikes the prince squarely in the chest. As Zinlo falls behind the balcony, Fendel's keen eyes notice that the arrow's fletching is a mix of yellow, black, and maroon feathers. The archer turns back to Fendel and launches another arrow at him...
...and only Fendel can see her crouching near the fountain.
So, we have more crowds! Yay! Remember that you can try to direct a single crowd (please indicate which one) using either Diplomacy as a full-round action or Intimidate as a free action. No, you cannot use Intimidate to direct multiple crowds in a single round. These crowds are larger than the ones at the ruins and might be more difficult to manage.
Thoriel, Shardra:
Remember your mission! Keep the people of Aspenthar safe, and demonstrate your leadership while doing so!
Again, because we are in the city and nobody mentioned having their weapons out, remember that you will need to draw your weapon before using it.
Fendel tries to resist the effects of the poison...
...but feels it sapping his strength! (Would that affect your ability to use your Composite Longbow, or not until you've taken 2 points of Strength damage (since it's based on your Strength modifier)?)

Sorry, when I acted Taman, Glasha, Shardra and
Seelah were included in the haste spell.
Hoping that Fendel has the sniper in his sights, and losing sight of the woman in the crowd, Thoriel instead decides to try and gets some of the crowd out of the way "Good people of Aspenthar! Stay calm if you can and move this way. We'll deal with those that would do you harm!"
Direct Black to the west- Diplomacy:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Glasha isn’t quite close enough to stare at any foes.

Botting Seelah
"Please, for your own safety, move this way!" Seelah implores the people closest to her.
Diplomacy:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Her words seem to strike a chord with the people, and they begin shuffling to the west. Thoriel has a tougher crowd, what with all the screaming about the prince being dead, and the people near her continue to mill around in a blind panic.
Taman doesn't have any success either, but the disembodied voice of Glasha somehow carries enough menace to prompt a group of people to flee the fountain, screaming and pushing against each other in fright.
Glasha, that was 90 ft of movement from your previous position to your current one. Depending on how high you wished to be, you might not have had enough movement to get there - please report your altitude so we can determine your flight path and current location, over.
Another, more strident scream pierces the air as a blade flashes and another citizen falls. The hooded woman grins wickedly before vanishing back into the crowd...
...but Shardra, Glasha, and Fendel are able to keep track of her in the chaos of the crowd.
The rooftop archer squints as Fendel disappears, then grins. Staring the investigator squarely in the eyes before glancing at Glasha, he crouches again and moves...
Glasha will be just above the crowd. So I guess tactically 5’ off the ground.
Glasha stares at the hooded foe who just struck at a citizen then takes out her wand of divine favor as she flies directly above her and uses the wand (Spending more movement than actually needed so as not to need a fly check to hover; free action to drop the wand—will recover later). She then yells for the blue crowd to get moving east.

Shardra tries to aid to control the crowd.
"Dear people of this wonderful lands ... please follow our lead! This direction please! We want you to all be safe!"

"Please! Keep moving out of the square in an orderly fashion! Return to your homes; we can keep you safe if exit swiftly!" Seelah continues to urge the crowd to exit the square.
Glasha's command only results in screams of "Divs! They're all around us!" as the crowd beneath her huddles down in fear. Their screams drown out Shardra's voice, but Seelah knows the battlefield and her voice rings through the cacophony like a bell!
A sudden buzzing fills the air as thousands of wasps erupt from nowhere, filling parts of the plaza with masses of angry insects that sting and bite indiscriminately.
Wasps:
1 vs Black:2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8 1 vs Purple:2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 2 vs Purple:2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 1 vs Green:2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
A creature with barely enough fabric to cover her blue skin in a most provocative manner flies down and floats above the fountain. She looks at Taman and makes a suggestive motion with her fingers, then says, "Ooo, you look like a man who knows how to have a good time," as she blows him a kiss...
It's a bunch of wasp swarms - immune to weapon damage and mind-affecting effects, distracting to those caught inside, and capable of delivering poisonous stings.
Fendel recognizes the blue-skinned creature as a pairaka div, a creature of lustful dreams and unbridled desire. They have several spell-like abilities, such as charming almost any creature and summon plagues of insects, but they themselves are resistant to spells and outright immune to fire damage. They also resist weapon damage that doesn't come from a cold iron or good-aligned weapon, and their touch can spread disease.

Here is what I would like to do. After leaping across the gap, I would like to steal the archer's quiver and toss it upside-down to the ground below so that it empties all over the street. I am not certain if I would have to unhook/unbuckle it {Disable Device} or 'disarm' him {CMB} (I thought it would be too large for Sleight of hand, but tacked in on anyway). Also, I have not been able to find an official ruling as to whether or not stealing an item constitutes an attack, thereby breaking invisibility. Of course, if it is a true 'disarm', then I would understand if you rule it as an attack.
The long and short of it is that I'm pretty certain I cannot outfight this guy, and that he can kill me LOOOONG before I can kill him. So, I have to out think him. An archer without arrows is not very effective. It was either this or use my bowstring as a garrote. Fingers crossed.

Thoriel enters a spell dance, and then seems to disappear from sight completely. Temporarily invisible, she makes her way around the fountain to get closer to the floating figure.
Swift action: Enter Spell Dance
Standard action: Cast Vanish on self
Move action: Move 60'
Taman, it would be a move action to pull out the potion and a standard to drink it. You could take a 5 ft step, but no additional movement this round. It is also a move action to intentionally search for something, so you wouldn't be able to do that this round either.
Taman's bellowing seems to just add to the confusion as the crowd continues to panic. Fendel gloriously leaps across the rooftops, but nobody seems to appreciate his feat besides the rooftop archer. As Thoriel moves closer to the fountain, another shriek announces the death of yet another civilian while part of the crowd continues moving to the southwest. The hooded lady tries to hide in the crowd again, but as she moves away she leaves herself open for a retaliatory strike from Glasha hiding above!
Only Fendel can spot her in the crowd now amidst all the chaos - but he has other problems on his mind as his archer friend takes a step back and starts launching arrows at him...

Seelah, frustrated by the slow pace much of the crowd appears to be taking, tries to get some of the crowd being harried by wasps to move. "Please!!! If you move quickly the wasps can't harm you. Move orderly, and move safely! There's a clear path out to the northwest; quick but calm!" She motions them to move towards the northwest exit from the square.
Grateful that at least some of the crowd had been listening to her, she wheels on that group and--with little more nuance than a pointed finger down their current path--urges them to keep moving as they have been. "Gooo!!!! Clear the square!"

No longer invisible and having lost sight of the hooded woman she just whacked with her flail, Glasha sets her sights on the div above the fountain. She flies around the wasps (using most of her 90’ fly speed to get above the div and avoid an AOO, as well as a path long enough and using only 45° turns to avoid needing a fly check) over to the div and attacks with her heavy flail, first staring at the div when adjacent.

The hooded woman stumbles from the force of Glasha's surprising blow, but continues moving and becomes lost in the crowd to everyone except Fendel.
Shardra, which crowd are you trying to direct and where are you trying to send them?
Seelah's calm words seem to be effective with some of the civilians, but her harsh words are quickly lost in the screams of people dying and the buzz of the wasps. Glasha's yelling seems more effective at motivating the crowd underneath her to move.
Glasha, I'm not certain if you can take the free action to intimidate the hooded lady on an AoO. Speaking is called out in the rules as allowed even when not your turn, but nothing else is and I'm inclined to say you can't take that action at that time.
After whacking the hooded lady, Glasha zooms around and up to whack the div hovering over the fountain. Her blow connects, but it seems less effective than it should have been. Outraged, the div rises up to stare Glasha in the eye - hampered somewhat by the fact that she can't seem to tell which set of eyes to look at - before clawing at the half-orc with sharp nails...

Taman flies in the air, sees the enemy on the rooftop and tries to get to him.
Seeing help incoming, the detective decides he can be more effective down below. The invisible man hangs over the side and drops to the canvas awning, then to the ground below. He is rather happy no one can see his awkward landing.
Thoriel, still remaining unseen under the cloak of her vanish spell, charges up her blade with a burst of powerful electricity, flies up into the air and strikes at the div.
Swift action as part of Spelldance - use fly on self for 1 round.
Spell combat. Cast Intensified Shocking Grasp. Fly up 30'. Deliver touch spell.
As Fendel dusts himself off after his drop from the rooftop (assuming he used his second move action to stand up from prone), he sees Taman soaring overhead and hears a sizzle of sparks as Thoriel strikes the div and becomes visible once again.
Thoriel, that looked like Spellstrike instead of Spell Combat.
Fendel is the only one who notices the hooded woman trying to blend back into the crowd, but there are no shrieks beyond the, uh, regular sounds of terror and mayhem.
Meanwhile, the archer watches Fendel depart before noticing Taman's approach. He races across the rooftop and leaps to the next building...
Taman, since you didn't give me a height I'm assuming you're 30 ft high, on level with the rooftops.
Only Fendel's keen ears can track the archer's movements, but without being able to see the rooftop he can only guess as to where the archer probably is.

Taman flies little higher, then he spots Kitio on the roof and land next to him.
movement: 10ft up, 20ft parallel to the ground , 10ft down
While flying Taman is preparing to attack.
At the same time as he landed on the roof, he strikes Kitio.
Taman, remember that you can't see the archer this round (as I understand the Stealth rules). You can make an active Perception check as a move action if you want, but because of the abstraction needed to break down simultaneous actions into turn-based combat, you can't see the archer this round even though he has no cover in the middle of your movement. Next round though, he'll have to find cover from you to make another Stealth check. You can keep the attack rolls though.
Also, remember that your green friend just knocked your blue friend unconscious and she's probably drowning in the fountain.
”Taman” | male CN Medium Human Barbarian 8 | HP 93/93 (117/117 in rage) ||AC 21, T 12, FF 20 | CMD 25| F +12 R +6 W +6; | Init +3 | Perc +11 |IN RAGE AC 19; hp 117; Fort +13, Will +8; Str 24, Con 20; CMB +13 (+15bull rush); CMD 25 (27 vs. bull| Speed 40ft | Rage 21/23 | Power attack -3/+9 | Active Conditions: None. | rations 12/14
The way how I see the whole situation.
In the moment when blue friend is knocked out, Taman was turned in opposite direction, so there is no way that he will react to that because he didn't see that.
Regardless of the rules I think it makes no sense that Taman flies over an enemy who is completely visible and he does not see him. That's a complete nonsense. But you are GM, you will decide whether or not you will adjust rules to the situation.
Thanks Fendel! Can you put a circle or something on the square you targeted? It looks likely that you'd catch another swarm with some splash damage.
Taman, I agree that it's very odd. But unless I can find something in a rulebook or FAQ to help clarify, that's what we're going with. Again, it's the weirdness of changing simultaneous actions into turn-based combat. That being said, if you are hoving over the rooftop at the end of your turn then the archer will need to find cover if he wants to remain hidden - and there's not a whole lot of it with Taman above the rooftops.
Also, since there is no facing in Pathfinder, you certainly would have seen Glasha knock out your new friend. I'm not letting you get out of a charm that easily. ;-)

So let's sort it out. Do you let me search for Kitio or do I have to rescue my friend?
If I can search for Kitio, Taman will land on rooftop this turn, he will not stay in air. If I need to rescue my friend then Taman flies down to fountain and pulls his new friend out of the water.
Fendel's bomb blasts two of the swarms, but neither dissipates!
Taman:
You're not dominated, so your actions are still your own. I would only ask you to imagine that Glasha suddenly started attacking Thoriel, and what Taman would do under those circumstances (then substitute the div for Thoriel). I've placed your token back at its starting position for the round for clarity.

It looks to me like the crowds are all in the corners; are they able to leave by those exits? I.e. is there any more value in having Seelah continue to try to move them out of the square? Proceeding as if they can leave the square, but if the scenario keeps them in for the duration of the battle, we may need to retcon this.
Seelah stares across the square, hoping the crowds behind her will leave and return to their homes, but concerned with a group of people still being harried by wasps. "Please, I urge you, you must leave the square. Return to the safety of your homes; we will handle these foes!"
Given the wording on fly, it looks like Thoriel would fall gently - without the need for an acrobatics check.
Magic at her findertips, Thoriel doesn't see the hooded woman. She waits patiently for her target to appear again as Taman splashes down next to her.
Since it's not given, we're going to say the fountain is ~3 ft deep - easy enough to stand and walk in.
Seelah's words carry through the buzz of the wasp swarms, and a section of the crowd moves away from the stinging insects.
Wasps vs Green:2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5
The wasps claim another victim, but don't seem to be moving to pursue the civilians as they move away.
Seelah, the scenario doesn't say that the crowds have to stay in the plaza. It does say that they don't move without prompting though.
Another shriek pierces the cacophony as a civilian falls to the hooded woman's sword. Thoriel spots her and has to make a decision.
Thoriel, you can see her as a valid target. However, you're very likely to blind a large portion of the crowd around her and render them immobile for the duration of the spell. Do you cast the spell?
From the rooftop, the archer surveys the plaza. Spotting Shardra waving her arms and chanting, his brow furrows in concentration. He lines up an arrow and looses it...
...and the arrow strikes true, pinpointing a weak spot in Shardra's armor and sinking deep. Worse yet, Shardra feels something foul mix with her blood...
Fortitude, Hardy:1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10

She casts mirror image and suddenly 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 copies of her appear.

Taman tries to pull his friend out of the water.
STR:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
He put a lifeless body on the ground near the fountain. Then he checks if his friend is alive.
Rounds to 21 points. I may have made an error in the last post on splash damage. If PBS applies to all bomb damage, splash is 10 points, not 9 (for 15 instead of 13 points).
"The people are safe! It looks like we are on our own. Either check on the Prince or kill the archer!
Fendel, I think Point-blank shot only applies to the direct target and not the splash damage. If you can find something that says otherwise, please let me know - my alchemist will be most pleased!
As multiple Shardra appear and Taman pulls the div out of the fountain, Fendel tosses another bomb and sends two of the swarms scattering. Taman, however, feels a sudden shiver as he clasps his friend's blue skin.
Taman, I'll need a fortitude save in your next post.
Round 5! Bold may act!
