This opinion also follows those with the logic that characters are not flat-footed when they are walking around (so that they can use immediate actions - like feather fall when caught in pit trap)SRDSo unless this is a continuation of the combat round, initiative is re-rolled and everyone is considered flat-footed until they act.No surprise round since everyone is aware of everyone else.The RAW also won't allow you to ready outside of combat since it is a "standard" action that prepares a standard, move or free action that occurs after your turn. Which means that turns have already been established (i.e., initiative has already been established)You don't want to go with the Ready action route - since it only allows taking a standard, move or free action. You can't take a full round's worth of actions, nor can you prepare to perform a full-round action (like casting a summoning spell) as a Readied Action.</blockquote>
