Typical Sarenite, always wanting to go or look east. However, in this case there's nothing visible to make either one seem like a better option than the other.
Frantino nods his agreement to Nasir and slowly follows as Ayita looks ahead.
Roscoe nods at the suggestion of the eastern stairs and quietly moves ahead.
Whichever approach is agreed upon, Ayita listens carefully for activity near the doorway... watching for traps too though that seems unlikely.
Ter is on her shoulder, for now, having circled above and seen nothing (I assume.)
On her way up the porch stairs and towards the eastern staircase, Ayita hears a yawn and then the scrape of a chair at the main doorway.
Ayita realizes the porch and stairs are quite new. New lumber. Well-assembled. Not very squeaky at all. She remembers that the Manor was recently created from three separate buildings. The porch and stairs must have been part of the new construction that connected the buildings.
Windows are open on the eastern porch that you are walking by. Inside you see members of the Order eating breakfast. Looks like porridge and beer. Several at the tables appear to be scholars, dressed in various clothing. One of them is dressed in peacock colors. She seems to keep to herself. Almost as if she's the cool girl and the others are the band geeks.
p.s. in case there was something Ter could have seen via a pre-group-arrival high-altitude snoop, here is a roll for her...
[dice=Ter snooping]1d20+14
Nothing she would've seen from a high-altitude recon.
[dice=Stealth]1d20-1+1
One of the scholars looks up, mid-porridge scoop in his mouth.
"Mmmntrudah!" he shouts, mouth full. He opens his mouth and porridge spits out and he points his spoon at the window. At Nasir. The porridge flings off the spoon and hits the peacock-colored woman in the face.
"What the Hells, Mather?" she says, wiping the porridge off her face. She turns and... sees Nasir.

Nasir -2hp
Roscoe curses as Nasir completely bumbles the approach.
"That didn't take long! Listen to me and we'll win! Form up on me!" he yells.
Holding up his red banner, he waves it in the air and points where the others should move.
Frantino steps up to where Nasir had been and swings at the pushy philosopher.
,
Nasir is surprised to find himself on the ground. He shakes his head, catches his breath, picks himself up, and rushes back up the stairs behind Frantino.
Ayita moves to the window next to Yazhi and opens it, if possible, and Yazhi will then jump inside, if possible. (Ayita plans to follow next round.)
Yazhi has the DR5/adamantine active, and +2 to str from the Hunter ability.
Ayita struggles to open the window (it's a bit stuck). When she finally does, Yazhi leaps!
Frantino steps up to where Nasir had been and swings at the pushy philosopher.
[dice=+2 halberd w/ PA]1d20 + 8 + 1, [dice=damage]1d10 + 11 + 2 + 1
The woman ducks and avoids Frantino's swing.

Another colorfully clad woman runs out of a room and through the window!
She slides between Frantino's legs, hooks one hand around his ankle and uses it to swing around onto the porch steps next to Frantino, where she lands on her feet, ready to attack!

Nasir can't seem to find a way to attack either of the two Order members with Frantino in the way. He readies his blade to strike at any of the Order when an opportunity presents itself.
The Order's student initiates flee deeper into the building!

Nasir -2hp
Frantino will swing at Red (the one on the stairs who used him as her personal playground equipment), then take a 5' step off the stairs and try to drop to the ground without hurting himself. This will free up Nasir to get some payback when one of them approaches him, and it also makes no sense to stay in the one place where the two of them can attack him!

While maintaining his inspiring banner, Roscoe casts guidance on Nasir.
"Strike on my command!" he exclaims, watching for an opportune time to attack, upon which time he yells "Now!"
|
Ayita pokes her head into the room with Yazhi and starts to climb in... she sends Yazhi through the door with an "attack" command.
(It looks like that door is open, but I cannot move Yazhi beyond it; if it's shut, Ayita will have to open it.)
In case Yazhi can actually get from next to the window to attack position, here is a roll:

The grid doesn't quite match up well with the porch, but she's been diagonal from you, in melee range, the whole time. Your attack goes off and misses.
I've moved her squarely into her grid-square. I had her off the wall a bit so as not to obscure the map.
If you had known she was in melee range, and done something differently, or perhaps added in another attack, such as a shield bash, go ahead and roll that now.
If Nasir doesn't take Red out with his other attacks, is there any way Frantino can reach her from the ground if he steps under? If not, he'll 5' step the other way and attack the newcomer on the ground.

To clarify: in ROUND TWO, you would've attacked, had you known she was in range. So your sword and bash were ROUND TWO. In ROUND THREE she stunned you. So... no attacks this round.
Not sure if Nasir would be flanking through that door from the stairs?, if we are I might adjust positions... I am assuming the tables are difficult terrain, and that neither is able to get into a flank due to positioning...
