If I recall correctly a five foot step into a portal will leave me on the portal square I am emerging from?
Lu Yan steps into the Red portal next to him and starts to emerge from the Blue portal near the Creature in Yellow.
You and your friends are a nasty bunch, aren't you.
Having only taken a five foot step, he will flurry with regular shuriken, saving his cold iron for when he has a better chance to hit, hoping to take out some images. I think this would be the edge of the second range increment (-4?)
Everyone's fighting back to back... good, that'll make it harder for them to come at all sides... Need to bring this one down fast, though... don't want to leave Lu Yan on his own for long...

Lu Yan five-foot steps into a Blue portal to emerge at Red again.
Once again, having only taken a five foot step, he will flurry with regular shuriken, saving his cold iron for when he has a better chance to hit, hoping to take out some images. I think this would be the edge of the first range increment (-2?)
Augmented Small Air Elemental | HP 17 | AC 17 Touch 14 FF 14 | F: +6, R: +6, W: +0 | Perc: +4, Darkvision | Fly 100 ft | Active conditions:
The last thunderbird abandons the foes on the ground and takes to the air, flying faster and faster, circling closer and closer until it loses cohesion and transforms into a whirlwind, threatening to engulf the flying grig.
Bludgeoning damage:1d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 3 = 10(Reflex DC 14 to negate)
Moving and activating Whirlwind special ability (another Reflex DC 14 to avoid being sucked into the whirlwind).
Damage Reflex DC 14 vs White Whirlwind, modifier added off screen:1d20 ⇒ 8 Sucked In Reflex DC 14 vs White Whirlwind, modifier added off screen:1d20 ⇒ 14
The grig feels a cold wind rising, However, he rides it out harmlessly, like a petrel in a showery squall.
Dhovahk patches up the leaking Tank once more.
Ferdrin fires once at Green.
Ferdrin Light Crossbow vs Green + bard + bless – into melee:1d20 + 3 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 + 1 - 4 = 6 CI piercing dmg:1d8 ⇒ 7
Rather than reload, the arcanist directs the flaming sphere onto Green.
[move] command Fireball to GREEN Fire damage GREEN, DC19 reflex negates:3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12
Green Reflex DC 19 vs flaming sphere + heroism:1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 18 + 2 = 25
Ferdrin then 5 ft steps east, as Sparky moves up to engage Green.
Electrical elemental attack: Melee slam attack GREEN, B damage, E damage:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 B:1d4 ⇒ 4E:1d3 ⇒ 3
Flaming sphere round 6/6
Summon Monster II round 6/9
Frustrated by Ferdrin’s movement, Green decides to 5 ft step to the NE and full attack Sparky.

Lu Yan moves over to grapple Green to hopefully make them easier to hit.
Grapple check on Green with Improved Grapple plus Bless plus Inspire Courage:1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 3 = 29
The target gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks. LaJeUne Aaron NO right
Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level, see Concentration), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.

Will Save (+2 vs. charm and compulsion); +2 bonus vs. fear, paralysis, and sleep effects, +2 racial bonus vs. fear, sleep, and paralysis effects:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Lu Yan's save against a compulsion is a 15, but does the following text from the spell apply? A creature whose type is different from the caster's receives a +4 bonus on its saving throw, because humor doesn't “translate” well.

Lu Yan doesn't get Yellow's Humor.
Why would a horse walk into bar?
Lu Ya attempts to Pin Green
Grapple check on Green with Improved Grapple plus Bless plus Inspire plus bonus for controlling the Grapple:1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 24

Pinned: A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. A pinned creature cannot move and is denied its Dexterity bonus. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class.
A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take. A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level) or lose the spell.
Pinned is a more severe version of grappled, and their effects do not stack.

Dhovahk turns his gaze to the heavens - and the grig flying between them. Slowly water pools in his hand, then freezes into snow in a flash before launching itself upward.
Though Ferdrin may not believe it, with Green pinned by Lu Yan, both Sparky and he connect!
While the arcanist draws first blood with his cold iron quarrel, only the electrical damage from Sparky’s attack bypasses the quickling’s damage reduction.
I’ll wait on Dhovahk’s response to my post in Discussion, before moving us on.
Yellow sounds puzzled. "Bumfuzzle, మరి ఆ అర్ధ మృత్యువుకి నీ పేరు ఎలా తెలుసు?"
Sylvan:
"Bumfuzzle, how does that mortal child know your name?"
The grig will never know the answer, as Dhovahk’s sleet-shot hits him like a Cat 5 Blizzard.
Insta-frozen, and with one wing-pair sheared off, the yellow-bodied fey spirals out of control into the hard pavers around the fountain, shattering into dozens of tiny shards.
❄
Green makes a desperate attempt to escape.
CMB to break the grapple:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Unbelievable! It manages to do so!
The surviving fey attempts a half-speed backflip to avoid opportunistic attacks from Lu Yan and Sparky.
With the fey forces of the Embeth defeated, the Pathfinders may take a moment to gaze around the bloody square. It’s quiet now, except for the low *crackle* and buzz of the eldritch portals.
Another four minutes pass, and as the western face of the clock tower reaches 12:34 in the morning, the portals and temporal anomalies scattered about the square end abruptly, *blinking* for a moment, then disappearing as if they were never there! The western clock face once again spins wildly out of control, the other three faces desynchronize, and the clock tower emits a resonant BASS TONE thirteen times before going silent.

Shortly afterwards, Chunhua and the pixie administrator Cerotius enter the square hand-in-hand. They separate quickly after spying the party, and retreat to opposite corners of the square when Mayors Ogden and Mieren arrive a few minutes later — definitely NOT holding hands.
On hearing the Pathfinders’ report of events in the clock tower, Lady Ogden looks quite pleased. “Thank Elysium you were able to prevent the tower’s destruction from both fey factions.”
“It will be some time before they attempt another strike on Uringen.”
Then she frowns. “It’s just a shame you were unable to prevent the gremlins from doing all that damage to the third floor in a more timely manner.”
“I will have to write to Holgarin about that. However, I can assure you we will make our export quality alchemical goods available to your Society at fair market rates.”
Mayor Mieren then steps forward sheepishly. “I apologise for doubting you, Pathfinders. Clearly you were up to the task of saving our town.”
He presents them with an oversized key made of local cypress. “Rest assured that you are welcome to return to Uringen and enjoy the Freedom of the Village whenever you please.”
“Chunhua and I … I mean, Agent Zhang and I managed to figure out the solution to removing the barrier preventing access to the belfry.”
Cerotius flits about, careful not to make eye contact with Ferdrin or any other party member.
“At least one person had to go through the correct alternatively colored portals on each level of the Tower.”
The pixie drops his head. “Unfortunately, by the time we … nutted it out, you had left the Clock Tower and messed up all the fey in the Village Square.”
“Sorry we took so long … it was a real teaser.”
Then he brightens. “But to make it up to you, I will donate a number of wondrous items and gold from my personal collection.”

With your mission in Uringen complete, you set off back to Tymon, and the hidden lodge of Venture-Captain Smine.
You are met outside of town by the Embeth Travelers, who not only offer to guide you back to the Sellen, but offer each of you a combat-trained Embeth hound.
Over the course of your career, this unusual animal companion may remind you of the folk of Uringen and the mayhem that began at six seconds to midnight.
