Roscoe, having communed with the archmage of wrath in the morning, calls upon transmutation magic to make himself into a creature worthy of Alaznist.
His teeth grow into fangs and claws extend from his fingertips.
"Let's go!" he shouts.
The warrior in melee with Frantino strikes again.
One of the slowed warriors starts screaming at Frantino. ”Were going to eat your friends in front of you, f!&@er!”
This prospect is quite intimidating to the normally unflabbable Frantino.
The other moves up to engage.
The buzzing of the blightspawn gets louder as it enters the fray. It is close enough that Ayita, roscoe, doc, Ezranadir must save vs it’s stagnation aura Will DC16 or be slowed.
Frantino will cast shield and then, feeling more confident in his new no-penalty armor and having put a minimum of training time into sneaking around as an investigator, he will move forward a short distance to try to gauge who these people are and how many are here.
The warrior in melee with Frantino strikes again.
Longsword: 1d20+11 => (10) + 11 = 21
Frantino's shield spell deflects the longsword away, saving him from additional damage!
Slightly unnerved by the slowed lunatic, Frantino will strike back at the one in front of him.
Since he's standing right next to Ayita and Doc, Frantino will roll his Will save against the mosquito's annoying aura.
Roscoe, just transmuted into a scarier magical form, just shakes off the slowing spell.
"Let's dance!" he yells, moving quickly toward the enemy.

"Three" charges at Nasir and attacks!
MISS!
Nasir attacks the warrior, in response to his charge!
HIT!

You are Slowed.
An affected creature moves and attacks at a drastically slowed rate. Creatures affected by this spell are staggered and can take only a single move action or standard action each turn, but not both (nor may it take full-round actions). Additionally, it takes a -1 penalty on attack rolls, AC, and Reflex saves. A slowed creature moves at half its normal speed (round down to the next 5-foot increment), which affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for decreased speed.
The buzzing of the blightspawn gets louder as it enters the fray. It is close enough that Ayita, roscoe, doc, Ezranadir must save vs it’s stagnation aura Will DC16 or be slowed.
Succeeds!

Ezranadir moves into the brush saying, "I think that Blightspawn followed us. Someone engage it and take it out!"
He casts Daze Monster DC:17 Will
"CASTERS, MORT!" cries the closest warrior.
"CASTERS?" shouts the other warrior (i.e. Mort).
"YEAH! CASTERS!"
"GET 'EM!"
"YEAH! GET 'EM!"
The first warrior steps closer to Doc and strikes at him!
MISS!

Nasir takes the opportunity afforded him by the reckless charge of the warrior and strikes!
HIT!
And then swings again!

The buzzing hell-skeeter moves close and caresses Frantino with its cursed legs! Frantino can see that it is slightly blurry, as if moving super fast.
Save or suffer -4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks.

The blightspawn is mysteriously unaffected by the spell.

Charging is a special full-round action that allows you to move up to twice your speed and attack during the action. Charging, however, carries tight restrictions on how you can move.
Movement During a Charge
You must move before your attack, not after. You must move at least 10 feet (2 squares) and may move up to double your speed directly toward the designated opponent. If you move a distance equal to your speed or less, you can also draw a weapon during a charge attack if your base attack bonus is at least +1.
You must have a clear path toward the opponent, and nothing can hinder your movement (such as difficult terrain or obstacles). You must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent. If this space is occupied or otherwise blocked, you can’t charge. If any line from your starting space to the ending space passes through a square that blocks movement, slows movement, or contains a creature (even an ally), you can’t charge. Helpless creatures don’t stop a charge.
If you don’t have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can’t charge that opponent.
You can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round as a charge.
Sure. We'll consider his charge to be against Ayita, instead.

Is the bug low enough that Frantino can 5' step and attack?
,
If not, Frantino will have to drink his extract of long arm again, then he'll 5' step closer. The last time in the aura the taste was apparently bad and he had to make a Fort save. Just in case I'll roll now...
I know you already saved, but...

It's got a 10ft reach, so you'll need the extract. But I believe a draw and drink is a move action+standard. 5ft is free, of course.
That was one heck of a caress!

If an extract was the exact equivalent to a potion, then yes, move action to draw and standard to drink. But alchemists (and by extension, investigators) have a special rule so that their "spellcasting" is only a standard action, in line with other spellcasters.
An extract is “cast” by drinking it, as if imbibing a potion—the effects of an extract exactly duplicate the spell upon which its formula is based, save that the spell always affects only the drinking alchemist. An alchemist can draw and drink an extract as a standard action.
But in this case it really doesn't matter since Frantino only needs to move 5'.

Apologies for not including that in the Turn Post. The creature is 10ft above you. Reach is required to hit it. The extract is therefore required.
