OOC: So you did; I got Ignatius' initiative of 19 confused with Manachan's. So Ignatius can act next. I'll leave the sequence as it is for now - it probably won't change a lot, to be honest; also my reading of the positioning is that Edmond was in the doorway, with Manachan, Ignatius and Vencarlo behind. If things go severaly pear-shaped I'll reconsider, but I suspect between Ignatius and Mhairi, both of whom have initiative on the snake, you should be able to take care of it.
