Takes aim at the Mage and Fires
The hooded female dexterously avoids Ynja's fire.
With impossible speed, Brother Ionacu swiftly sprints across the deck, suffering an attack of opportunity from the hobgoblin standing before him.
Upon reaching the slender hooded figure, he strikes a pressure point...
[dice=melee touch attack]1d20+8+1
...and then strikes with a furious stunning fist...
[dice=nonlethal stunning fist]1d20+8; 1d6+5
...shouting a loud Kiai that resounds across the water, warning all of the danger!
[dice=demoralize]1d20+10+10
[dice=Mythic surge]1d6
Brother Ionacu lands a study blow on the mage,
Demoralize Opponent
You can use this skill to cause an opponent to become shaken for a number of rounds. This shaken condition doesn’t stack with other shaken conditions to make an affected creature frightened. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom modifier.
Success: If you are successful, the target is shaken for one round. This duration increases by 1 round for every 5 by which you beat the DC. You can only threaten an opponent this way if it is within 30 feet and can clearly see and hear you. Using demoralize on the same creature only extends the duration; it does not create a stronger fear condition.
Fail: The opponent is not shaken.
Action Demoralizing an opponent is a standard action.
Retry? You can attempt to intimidate an opponent again, but each additional check increases the DC by +5. This increase resets after one hour has passed.

Pai Song - with unearthly elven grace - passes Henric standing in front of her, then leaps the short distance over the railing avoiding the hobgoblin blocking the ship, drawing something resembling a gun with astonishing speed with one hand and a sword with the other.
It all looks more like a perfomance in an opera, every movement practiced, refined and mastered, awe inspiring and eye pleasing.
Then she aims at the hobgoblins working on the siege engine and fires.

The cowled magic-user begins to whimper piteously in response to the monk's fevered attack.

The caster retracts from the vicious swipe of Shi'Vatha's claws.
Taking the proffered spyglass, Aleister turns his gaze to the shrine. Upon seeing the commotion, he hands the implement back to the man he bumped into and begins to make his way to ship, keeping an eye out for any additional trouble.

The monk can see that the moored vessel has become the scene of a lively melee. A group of the travelers from the previous evening in the Rusty Dragon Inn is engaged in pitch combat with a group of large goblinoids, a hooded figure, and a large beast. The enemy party largely surrounds a massive siege engine, a large crossbow directed at the shrine gardens across the lake.
Takes aim at the Mage and Fires
Ynja's fire ricochet's off the rail near the robed figure, but ultimately leaves her unharmed.

Henric moves up to the closest goblinoid and unleashes a furious attack with his fauchard.

The hobgoblin laughs with an awful bellow as Henric's assault swings wide of the mark.
OK, just to update for ROUND 1:
The Initiative order was as follows:
Shi'Vatha
Henric
Brother Ionacu/Ynja
Villains
Vincent
Pai Song
Shi'Vatha, Henric, and Brother Ionacu/Ynja have all gone.
Now it's time for the villains to go.
The mage is afflicted by Demoralize Opponent.
The Dire Infernal Mythic Thycaline is going to attack now; it's going to use it's base 40' speed to move into position near Shi'Vatha 1 AP; then it's going to attack twice with it's bite attack (2 AP).
It the Dire Infernal Mythic Thycaline bites Shi'Vatha once. Roll for damage:
Apply whatever to damage reduction.
The hobgoblins manning the machine launch one of it's missiles into the gardens of the Shrine of Desna.
+ 6 BAB = 11.
That hits one of the commoners in the gardens, and the Alchemical Fire bombard explodes in the midst of the helpless inhabitants of Sandpoint.
Finally, the hobgoblin on the gangplank stabs at Henric again three times (3 AP)
Hobgoblin hits twice -- wounds and vigor rules mean crit doesn't increase damage but goes directly to wounds.
Henric needs to roll an opposed check vs. the hobgoblin's attack as per the Armor as DR rules:
Critical Hits and DefenseWhen a creature threatens a critical hit, it does not make a critical hit confirmation roll. Instead, the target of that critical hit makes a critical defense check instead. A critical defense check is 1d20 + a bonus equal to the creature’s DR + the creature’s Dexterity modifier (up to the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by any armor worn) + the sum of any deflection and shield bonus to Defense.
Critical defense check bonus = creature’s DR + Dexterity modifier + shield bonus to Defense + deflection bonus
The DC of the check is based on the die roll for the critical threat. It is further modified by the base attack bonus of the attacking creature, how many Critical Feats the attacking creature has (if any; 10 maximum), and a bonus relationship between the size of the attacking creature and the target of the critical hit, if the attacking creature is larger than the creature it attacked.
Critical defense DC = critical hit roll + 1/2 attacker’s base attack bonus + 1 for each critical feat + 1 for each size category larger attacker is than target
For instance, if a Medium creature is hit with a crossbow fired by a Medium 6th-level fighter with two Critical Feats, and the critical threat attack roll is a 19, the target of the potential critical hit makes a critical defense check with a DC of 24 to reduce the critical hit to a normal hit. If the target is wearing +1 leather armor, has a Dexterity of 18, and is using a +1 buckler, that target would have a +9 bonus on the critical defense check to reduce the critical hit to a normal hit. On a roll of 15 or higher, the critical hit is reduced to a normal hit, and the target takes normal damage for the hit (which is reduced by its DR). If the creature firing the crossbow had rolled a 20, the target of the critical hit would need to roll a 16 or higher on its critical defense check to reduce the impact of the critical hit, making it a normal hit.
On a failed critical defense check, the target of the critical hit takes the damage for the critical hit. That damage is still reduced by the target of the critical hit’s DR.
Fortification Special Armor Quality: The fortification special armor quality acts in concert with the check, coming into play if the armor check fails.
Once Henric rolls his check, we can figure out where the damage goes:
Pai Song: do you want to weigh in on my question about the AoO -- how is she avoiding that moving past the hobgoblin on the plank?
Vincent: you can post your actions for this round.
The lumbering beast speedily closes with the eidolon and bites Shi'Vatha savagely with its immense jaws, drawing a stream of hot, wet blood with its vicious fangs.
The muscular goblinoids manning the siege weapon successfully fire a pair of bombs into the midst of the ongoing festivities. In the space of only a few terrible moments, the festival grounds erupt in a torrent of sickly green flame.
The cowled mage continues huddles in response to the monk's attack.
The goblin warrior guarding the gangplank to the ship brutally stabs Henric with his broadsword.
Upon seeing the siege weapon lob it's deadly projectile into the crowd, Aleister immediately changes course, making his way to the wounded. He does his best to herd them all as far away from the chaos and fire.

Shi adjusts 5 ft to put the caster between himself and the creature, using the siege weapon to protect his flank.
Then he attacks the caster!
Ynja's shot had gone wide, the movement on the ship and rocked the mast she was leaning on just at the moment she shot. Angry she had missed she looked on as the weapon fired and flame blossomed on the bank. She took her time now, looking for the ammunition they where using below. Carefully she took arm at it. This could mean all her death but it did not matter if the cost of that weapon firing again was the mass loss of innocent lives on the banks.
Henric takes several blows, but not enough to knock him out - he's still in the fight. He shrugs his shoulders and focuses on the hobgoblin in front of him.

As the hobgoblins unleah the siege weapon uppn the people, Pai Song cries out.
Noooooooooo! What are you doing?
Tears streak over her face as she witnesses the senseless attack and she raises her own gun again and it begins to glow in a purplish pink light.
This has to stop!
In rapid succession she shoots purplish light bolts at the hobgoblins manning the siege engine and you can hear their p-taff p-taff.
Arcane Strike
[dice=Critical Defense] 1d20 + 6

The ammunition for the siege weapon, a large store of alchemical fire bombards, is located just behind the ballista, in the middle of three of its hobgoblin operators.

Vincent swiftly moves up the gangplank, lashing out at one of the goblins with his fist and then tries to sweep its legs out from under it.

The cowled mage recoils in pain from the eidolon's vicious assault.
The heavily armored goblinoid grunts in a brutal, feral ululation at Vincent's strike, but remains standing.
As he makes his way to the crowd of wounded and panicked festival goers, Aleister takes a moment to draw one of his runes on his arm, which will better help him deal others.
Then she takes aim and points her gun, she waits until a moment.
And fires at the bombards.
As he makes his way to the crowd of wounded and panicked festival goers, Aleister takes a moment to draw one of his runes on his arm, which will better help him deal others.
Henric takes note of the crazed look in the eyes of the pistol-weilding woman and her target, and his eyes widen. He carefully - and quickly - moves away from the hobgoblin and runs for the closest path to safety - in this case, back over the side he entered from.
Unable to run, as it'd just moved into position next to the device as Ynja yells, it chuffs in amusement. [big]Perhaps I shall see you in another life.[/big] It continues though... [big]Do not hesitate, the town is more important than one battered old creature who will just end up going back to his home plane.[/big]
::"It was an honnor"::
and Ynja fires.
Aleister spies with great horror a decorative pagoda in the Shrine of Desna gardens, its elaborately decorated roofs lit brightly with iridescent green flame, veering quickly towards a fleeing child.
