The Map, and all the information you have is displayed here:

 

[Dalamar]

Krindor readies his shield and draws his sword as he moves to P5.

 

[Lichtenhart]

(I'm assuming Brawn isn't giving cover to them. Otherwise I'll probably change my action.)

Mak concentrates and fires his arrow, aiming at a weak spot in the first weasel's neck while shouting "We're attacked! Up there!". He quickly drops his bow and sets his spear against the incoming charge.

OOC: Partial action: shoot an arrow atk +4 dmg 1d6+2+1d6 sneak attack.
First round: drop the bow (free) draw the shortspear (mea) ready the shortspear against the charge (partial). atk +2 dmg (1d8+3)*2. I don't know if this qualify as a sneak attack.

Brawn shakes his head to recover from his daydream of munching on leafy tree-stars as the Dire Weasels (?!) approach.
(The daydream is to explain both the one in initiative and his Scent not picking them up)
(edit: It's 2 in initiative, with Brontos's 12 DEX)

If the weasels ("Yeah, buuuuuddy!") attack (god, I'm having a hard time keeping a straight face typing this), Brawn will whack one with his Tail Spike if they move within his threatened area.

If they end up next to him by his action, he'll do a full attack action : Claw-Claw-TailSpike on the one(s) close to him.

If they don't attack, or he needs to cover distance, than he'll move and close, drawing and attacking with his Fullblade.

Krindor
Readies his shield and draws his sword as he moves to P5.

Mak
Partial action: shoot an arrow atk +4 dmg 1d6+2+1d6 sneak attack.
First round: drop the bow (free) draw the shortspear (mea) ready the shortspear against the charge (partial). atk +2 dmg (1d8+3)*2. I don't know if this qualify as a sneak attack.

Mak, ready, wide awake, and with incredible instincts, spots the creatures right away, and puts one down like a puppet. Impressively, the shot skewers the heart of the weasel, ending it's life immediately.

Mak shoots his arrow, natural 20! Then an 18+4, confirmed critical! 40 points of damage (Holy lucky shot... it's dead... like, burried and gone forever).

Then, Mak drops his bow and draws his shortspear, readying his spear against a charge.

Krindor reacts next, drawing shield and sword and moving into a better position.

The three remaining Dire weasels try to charge you. Thier movements are obvious, but Brawn is the biggest target between them and the carriage, and also the most threatening.

Mak, you spotted thier dog-tags. Thier shaped like clovers. You also (knowledge check) realize that it's a dire Weasel pet of the "Lucky-Clan", a famous group of Kobolds.

Dire Weasel Attacks, 4+8, 20+8 (3+8), 18+8.

Brawn, your total daydreaming was just very rudely interupted, by some vicious bites. You take 9 points of damage to your face, and 4 points of damage to your chest. These bites are quite a bit worse than a scratch.

Mak's quick spot check wasn't quite enough to alert everyone, but your certainly not flat footed at this point. Eight kobolds come from around the trees. They were hard to spot at first, but now they are obviously very visable.


L2 (Spear)
I6 (Spear)
M7 (Crossbow)
N8 (Crossbow)
N11 (Spear)
O15 (Crossbow)
Q16 (Crossbow)
R15 (Crossbow)

The Kobolds at M7 and M8 take shots at Krindor. The Kobolds between O15:S16 take shots at Krindor, Khelon, and Brawn.

Against Krindor, I have results of 5+2, 5+2, and 4+2, all misses. Against Krindor again, I have a 4+2. Against Khelon I have an 18+2. Khelon takes 3 damage to the chest. I have an 11+2 against Brawn, a miss.

The Kobolds cry out, in Draconic, "They're here! Ahhh! Get Down! Take That! They're over here! Let's go!" and an assortment of curses as they move into position. One gets lucky and strikes Khelon right in the chest with a bolt, squarely below the stomach but above the waste, and slightly on the left side of Khelon.

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: cs - wouldn't Brawn have gotten an AoO on one of the weasels moving within his threatened range? I mentioned he'd lash one with his tail spike, if so. And where was his full-round attack against all 3 weasels next to him? He's not stunned, is he? I didn't think there was a surprise round on him - just that I rolled badly, and he went last. The daydreaming was just for flavor. Please don't punish me for hamming it up!

 

[Macbrea]

In a flurry of action, Yorick closes the distance between him and one of the kobolds, yelling in draconic, "Take that you little runt." With that he attempts to strike the little guy.

OOC: charge the kobold that is located at square L2 assuming he is still standing there. If he moves I will close the distance to wherever he moves to. When I arrive there it will be a charge attack striking with my fist.

 

[Lichtenhart]

"Lucky-Clan! If you don't want your luck to end today, return to your burrows and let us leave immediately; otherwise your mothers will be very sad 'cause there won't be anything left of you to bury!" shouts Mak trying to intimidate them (+5).

OOC: mmm, it looks like I've readied my spear against a charge that never happened. You said their movements were obvious: if Mak understood he wasn't going to be charged, he would have shot another arrow. If he didn't, can he take another action now? At which point of initiative?

 

[Creamsteak]

I'll re-read the rules when I get home. I'm not sure absolutely about Brawn's situation, but the Dire Weasels did CHARGE... and that's the key-word here. I didn't give an AO because it was a charge. Notice the +8s to hit, compared to the +6 normally used, also it reduces thier AC to something even less than normal.

Also, in the case of Mak, his spear is still ready for a charge all of this round, it's a readied action afterall. Until someone charges you, or it comes back to your initiative count, your action is still readied.

And back to brawn, your action hasn't even happened yet. It's still the first full round of combat, and you go last, after everyone else, then you get your FRA.

 

[reapersaurus]

OOC: a charge doesn't negate an AoO or cause an AoO. They moved from 10' (Brawn's threat range) to 5' to attack, and didn't just do a 5' step, therefore it's an AoO. And although Brawn's last this round, I was surprised you didn't resolve his stated actions as you resolved everyone else's last round. He's not a round behind everyone - he just goes last in the round?
