Yes, everyone is accurately portrayed on the map. You are up, Kara has not moved.

I don't see any safe way for Kara to move back or swap places with Talondreal. A 5 foot step requires a space to move into, and can't be combined with any other movement (I would have to move through Rizzok as well to get to an empty space). I can't go diagonally with a 5 ft step, and Dragall is blocking me there anyway. As a medium critter I can't go through the shadow safely without a CMB roll, which will provoke anyway and be likely to fail.
That's why Kara initially ran back to the other room -- I thought we could wait for it to follow and not be lined up single-file like this. :(
Open to suggestions on how to get Kara out of the front line...
Withdrawal causes your first square to not be counted for AoO, but is a full round action.
An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all nonmagical attack forms.

Humorously enough, he can lay hands on it.
Absolutely.
Kasai nor Rizzok have posted here in a week. Rizzok is in one of the other games and in fact was there a day or two ago, I'll nudge him. Kasai also has posted under aliases Monday.

I'm still here, I just didn't have anything meaningful to contribute to trying to get the dagger out of the fire (which is the only thing that's happened for a week). Just an FYI though, I was just selected for a jury, which means that my posting will be sporadic at best for the immediate future. Please feel free to bot me (I have instructions in my profile) as needed to keep things moving, and I'll check in and post as I can.
I will be on vacation this weekend, expect no posts from me Friday through Monday.
It certainly appears that way. I'm fine lem-botting it from here onward, but he hasn't returned and the month is over. Plus most jury duty doesn't lock you down that hard.
EDIT: Also he posted elsewhere May 23rd, but not here since, so there's that too.
Thanks for dropping us a line.

That last encounter took place in a very cramped room with a 5-foot hallway. There is no way I would have chosen to provoke from just about every enemy just to get into the room.
If I had a shot at them from range, I would take it, even if I have penalties for cover and firing into melee (as I did with the shadow), but the only spots in the hall where I could do that were all occupied.
Here's an idea, if you don't want to be the one getting hit in melee every combat, stop rushing in.

Rizzok, if I did not rush and if we follow your pace this module would not be completed the year and half.
Rizzok I know that I have no right to say this because I do not know you. This is what I'm saying in general.
I do not understand people who say they do not have time to write one post in one day. How much do you need to write a post? I need about 1-2 minutes, often and less.
I have a regular job and 3 more jobs on the side. I have 2 small children. In one period I played 12 scenarios at the same time. At all I managed to poste at least once a day.

Is it not possible to stay back and use your ranged weapon and let the enemy come to us?
Remember I have a +0 BAB, so I cannot draw a weapon on the move. It generally takes me a round to stow my crossbow and draw a melee weapon (I can only move 5 feet that round) so it takes extra time for me to switch from ranged to melee.

Let's just say I work for a company that has banks for customers. Banks can be very demanding because their business is money and large amounts of it can be lost if something goes wrong. "It's 5 o'clock," is not an excuse I get to use.
As far as just taking 1-2 minutes to post, that's not how I work. I tend to need an hour or so to sit down, clear my thoughts, and start going through my various games uninterrupted. I used to play a lot of scenarios at the same time, but as my job has become more demanding that number has dwindled. I'm currently playing in 3 and GM'ing one.

Are we sure we don't want to consider fleeing? I'm not sure we can take on two swarms without the level 1 PCs getting killed. Creatures that can deal automatic damage in excess of half of my hp each round seem like a bad deal for me.
It would be one thing if we had someone who could spam burning hands, but we don't.
Sorry, I failed to answer that question because these swarms will not disperse. Swarms don't disperse until enough damage is done to them or another pre-arranged condition is met, of which these have none.
You also have a wizardess who can activate it.
