Tak swings his +1 Evil Bane longsword at the vrock.
Then spends a mythic point for a surprise strike. +1 Evil Bane LS vs Flat footed: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 26
Surprise Strike (Ex):
As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee attack or ranged attack against a target within 30 feet, in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When you make a surprise strike, the target is considered flat-footed regardless of any class features or abilities it might have, and you add your tier to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses damage reduction. He maintains his oratory and steps once to the side.

Just realizing now that I had mistakenly remembered this character having a buckler. He has a steel shield so could I have dropped the shield as a free action before drawing the longsword? So action economy could be good? And of course my already low AC will be even lower...

In the combat that never ends... Tak continues his oratory... and uncharacteristically draws a long sword and then moves up to the vrock. "Alright this is getting out of hand..."

When Darius misses his AoO Take casts a spell as an immediate action, Gallant Inspiration, to boost the fate of Darius' swing.
Tak, once no longer stunned, picks up his flag and resumes his oratory. Immediate, Standard, and move actions if I'm trackingmy action types right.

"Thats a Vrock. Evil demon. Their shriek can stun."
DC 18 Will. I suppose it should roll for my two illusions as well. DC 16 for Ghost Sound and DC 17 for silent image.

Rak tries to save the kineticist from himself again with another casting of Saving Finale. Reroll to Pyro again. Tak resumes his Oratory after trying to save Pyro again. He readies an action to move away from the Queen if she starts his way.

When Pyro fails his save Tak immediately ends his Bardic performance and casts Saving Finale, allowing the kineticist and attempt to re-roll the failed save.
One his turn Tak resumes his Oratory performance on the Queens type of demon. Tak casts Silent Image and layers an illusion of Knights in the same area as the Ghost Sound.

Tak maintains his oratory and weaves in a spell. He casts Ghost Sound mimicking the sounds of the Knights from the army coming to the aid of the adventurers. places a blue smiley face on the map to indicate the direction of the sound. DC 16 will save to disbelieve.

Tak hesitates to see what, if any, reaction Sal's spell has on the Queen. Not really a delay per se. Just hoping I can tell if the Queen is blinded before I try to GTFO.

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 20
Tak takes a bold move and closes on the Queen. He spends a mythic point and reaches out with a touch attack. Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 And misses terribly. oh yeah... this is why I remade the character from a Gunslinger. Because I can't even hit a touch AC. Womp womp.

"Nobody attack the big one! Focus on the swarms! The big one is under a compulsion for a brief period." Tak maintains his Oratory and strides away to not be a tempting target.

Posting for round 2. Gonna try to ID the little ones.
If the ID was a success Tak will start up an Oratory on them. Tak will cast Calm Emotions and aim the emination to hit both Darius and the Queen.

Tak casts Glitterdust at the mysterious creature. Will try to get everything if they are all close enough. If not the focus will be on the big guy, Red.

Hey last time you went off without the army there was an attack and people died. Now their moral is really low... so go do it again and hope for different results... "Its a bold plan but if it can provide the Knights with some respite I'm in."

"Sorry to hear that occurred in our absence. We found the church desecrated by demons and undead. We dispatched them and laid to rest the holy Knights who were likely killed in its defense. We stayed to Purify and consecrate the grounds." Tak tells the assembled troops. "Whatever we have on hand is all for the cause of course." Tak adds. Once the healing potions are distributed he will walk amongst the injured and offer words of encouragement to those injured and those providing care while periodically casting Detect Fiendish Presence.

"Alright I think it's safe enough to lower these two and put them to rest. I know there's one more building here we haven't investigated but I think if something evil were lurking in wait we would have heard from it by now. Let's do right by these brave soldiers before we explore further."

Tak moves forward into the doorway so Pyro and Darius can still be bolstered by the flag and his performance. I'm wanting to cast glitterdust in the doorway to the north and I'm thinking it will capture everyone but yellow and also avoid Darius. If it won't work because of line of effect rules or cover or whatnot I'd like to redo my action if that's possible.
Then he maintains his Oratory on ghouls.

Tak maintains his oratory but switches back to the subject of ghouls. He moves forward but stays 5ft behind Darius and Pyro. He maintains his oratory and readies an action to move away from any enemy that comes within 10 ft (one 5ft square gap) of him.

I have been tracking it. I can do Bardic performance for 24 rounds a day. 6 rounds last combat + 4 rounds this combat. I still have 14 more rounds in me for the day.

I seem to have lost a hp and not sure how. I have some reactions spells I can use in. The case of failed saves from my allies or missed attacks. I can't tell of Darius missed his attacks or not except I don't think anyone's HP dropped. So im gonna assume his first attack, the 24, was a miss. As an immediate action, when Darius' first attack misses, Tak casts Gallant Inspiration.
Gallant Inspiration:
This word of arcane-empowered inspiration often ensures success of a crucial endeavor. Cast this spell when a creature fails an attack roll or skill check. The creature gains a +2d4 competence bonus to the attack roll or skill check retroactively. If the bonus is enough to turn the failure into a success, the roll succeeds. Tak maintains his Oratory but switches the subject to the gargoyles as a move action. Then takes a 5ft step towards Pyro. Then casts Unwitting Ally on Dark Blue. DC 16

Tak moves south and resumes his oratory on the ghouls.
Flagbearer (30' LoS):
As long as you hold your clan, house, or party’s flag (see page 293), members of that allegiance within 30 feet who can see the flag (including yourself ) gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saving throws against fear and charm effects.

As soon as any of the group begins to try to lower the bodies Tak will remind everyone "There are still ghouls about and unaccounted for. We should delay this until after we have secured the surroundings." If party members persist Tak will not partake and instead stand watch to provide early warning of impending attack.

Damn... most of my spells aren't very useful against the undead. Tak thinks to himself and mentally inventories his known spells. With little help to provide beyond bolstering his allies with his oratory, he repeats his actions from the previous round.
