The room in which Braddon just left Lil -- the room with no windows and only one door which opens onto the corridor the party is standing in -- is uninhabited. No amount of searching reveals any sign of Lil or her carpet bag.
Braddon Will 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 + 2 = 11: failure
The bedroom next door is a much more spartan affair: a small bed in one corner with a few bags tucked underneath.
Lynley Chatham's sitting room is handsomely appointed if a little the worse for wear due to the melee that just took place within it. Now that the group has a chance to pay attention to their surroundings, they can see that the room to the west up the stairs is a dining room with a long table and chairs; a door is set in the northern wall.
Bojasc's inert form on the carpet yields a masterwork battleaxe and a masterwork handaxe that fell where he dropped them. His chain shirt boasts a magic aura, and there is a stoppered vial in his pocket as well as a purse bulging with coin.
The wand Lil surrendered is still sitting on the sofa where she left it.
In actuality, there is no view of the harbor from the windows; rather, they provide an expansive outlook on the Varisian Gulf southwest of the harbor. Saul had said that Chatham had built them to know when his ships were approaching the Cyphergate before they were visible from the harbor.
(It occurs to everyone but Braddon that this would be an excellent set-up for Chatham to arrange secretly to offload any cargo he didn't want to pay duty on before it could be inspected by the harbormaster, similarly to the smugglers who sneak good and passengers in and out via the tunnels in the Boneyard.)
Distraught, Braddon doesn't come close to injuring Lil with his onslaught.

Tendal, Snake, and Phillip may take an AoO on Braddon as he passes if they wish.
Lil is in M2, and the grease is in MN3-4. It's 35 feet to M5, the other side of the grease from Lil, or you can go around it and get to L3 to have her threatened in melee with 45 feet of movement. Which would you prefer? It's a double-move either way.
The way cleared by the dismissal of the demon, Tendal climbs the short set of stairs and sends his cane spinning toward the tiefling. Despite it hitting with a distinct crack, Lil seems unharmed.

This is Lil's readied action triggered by Snake's move so, no, initiative hadn't advanced yet.
As Snake moves up the stairs, Lil's eyes flash.
The next moment, Gristav's arrow embeds itself in the side of Lynley Chatham's couch.

Gristav, Lil is going to do something other than drop the wand, so take your readied shot.
Snake swings his weapon again, this time hitting the demon soundly. It starts to crumple and then winks out of existence.

You've got a move action left, Snake. Going to pause in case you want to use it before Lil's turn.

Snake swings his morningstar at the demon, but it dodges the blow.
The demon once again attacks Snake but has no better luck than his target.

Braddon's blades slice viciously into the vulnerable Varisian. Bojasc's eyes roll back in his head, and his only response is a gush of blood over Lynley Chatham's presumably expensive rug.

Tendal finds a modicum of cover and targets a spell at the floor near the bay window. Distracted by the ongoing combat, neither Lil nor Bojasc is ready for the ground beneath their feet to become slippery; both hit the floor, Bojasc with a grunt, Lil with a squeal.
Tendal moves & casts spell: Lil Reflex 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Bojasc Reflex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Snake curses Bojasc in an attempt to help Braddon.
Lil finishes her incantation, and with a puff of sulfurous smoke, a Small, hideous, bloated biped appears on the stairs next to Snake. Its claws can't penetrate his abjuration, but a mouth full of crooked, needle-like teeth bites into his torso.
Snake uses Hex: Bojasc Will 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3: failure

Gristav moves forward and burns away the webs holding Tendal and Phillip in place. His flashing eyes and floating hair bode no weal for the tiefling ... eventually.

You can't both share the square; let's shunt Phillip off to K13, which at least has some web in it to explain how he's stuck there.
Concealed as Lil is behind the fighting duo of Braddon and Bojasc, her somatic motions are too hidden from both Snake and Tendal to be sure what spell she might be casting.
Tendal hurries down the corridor hoping to take cover before her spell resolves, but in his haste to locate a safe corner, he blunders into the last of the web and is momentarily stuck.
Tendal double-moves: CMB 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7: failure

There is web remaining in L12, K-J12-13 & I13, which provides cover to those on the other side. Moving through it requires a DC 15 CMB or Escape Artist check to avoid being entangled.
Snake moves down the cleared corridor, evading the last sticky wisp of web in his way as he draws his morningstar.
Gristav's butterfly lands on his shoulder, bringing Desna's blessing.
Snake double-moves: Reflex 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18: success

Braddon, you are currently charmed, and Lil has asked you to attack Bojasc.
All right. Phillip, still delaying?
Between distance and the intervening webs, you can't identify the spell. Identifying a spell as it is being cast doesn't use an action in P1e, however, so you can still take actions on your turn or delay/ready as you see fit, Tendal. Per the discussion thread, the web now starts in L15.

The web is hard to see but it begins in L16 now. The corridor filled with web is difficult terrain; moving through it requires a DC 15 combat manuever or Escape Artist check to avoid getting stuck. In addition, the thick web provides total cover to and blocks line of effect between the groups on either side of it.

Braddon is at the edge of the web and must make a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid being stuck. Each set of stairs leads up. Levels are divided by 3-foot-high railings except at the stairs. The fights of stairs break any clear path for a charge.
