Description: Aylana is a nerdy faen. She loves to talk about magic.
Background: Aylana comes from a long proud line of mercenary faen. So long a line, it became their surname. She has six older brothers who each tried to teach her the use of blades or axes or bows or anything other than the stupid staff she seemed drawn to. They all eventually gave up leaving her to her books. In books, she thrived. Eventually she was accepted at magic school where she showed aptitude for two different schools of learning: that of the wizard and that of the magister. The conflicting laws of magics did not deter her and she graduated with honors in both.
Now her quest to seek out more magics has taken her to edge of civilization where she heard a famous illusionist was going to perform some rather public magic. Such a rarity she had to witness personally.

I'm not sure what kind of doing you are expecting. I'm playing a mage. She sits in the back line and supports others. There are no others as we haven't formed a team yet. So in the case where confronted with a pitched melee of many attackers, she is going to hide or flee. There is no way a squishy mage is joining a militia. Nor is she standing in a fielding throwing her 2-3 vaguely offensive spells around willy nilly. She will save them for if (and when) hiding and fleeing fails.
It looks like the player group has one and a half front liners and a bunch of back of the party characters. If this is inappropriate to your adventure you should have said something about being able handle large pitched battles.
If Stanfor is going toe to toe with anything (even a mouse) than I feel sorry for the party. He is the buffer/healer roll - using the riding fox to help get him to people who need healed quicker. As there is no healing word in 3.5
He is +1 to hit for 1d6+1 DMG normally so staying out of fights till he can flame strike things is the tactic for now.

I do expect the 'squishy' characters to hang back out of melee, but I also expect them to be doing something, or at least be setting up future actions.
What I mean is that you didn't respond to the situation. You just reported that you noticed what the others were doing, and that doesn't move the story forward.
I expect something along the lines of "The kid on the fox seems to be getting out of the way. I watch where he goes and join him if it seems safe." or "The big guy joins the line formed by the militia. I stay back and watch to see if any goblins slip past them." or even "While the militia deals with the goblins I start organizing the civilian types to put out the fires in the goblin free areas."
Also, I don't mind a bit of cooperative metagame. The party hasn't been formed yet, but you can set up something to move us that way. "Wow, that 1/2 is really smashing the goblins. I'll buy him an ale later.... Oh, there's fellow wee folk caster sniping goblins. We should talk shop later..."
