I ran the encounter last night and it went off almost perfectly. The air genasi bard/fighter with the whip grabbed the sword on his first attempt and flung it into the air to be caught by the arrowhawk. The party wizard brought down the arrowhawk with magic missile, dropping the scimitar on to the fountain. I had a greedy merchant and a nobleman climb the fountain to get the sword as the PCs hurried to get there, then introduced the monkey wearing the fez. Because the fountain was slippery, quite a few PCs and NPCs slid down it or fell off, smashing some expensive merchandise. One PC used Intimidate to get through a crowd of gawping onlookers. Then, the PCs battled the janni swordsage and his companions on the fountain, with blade magic maneuvres aplenty!The only bit I cocked up was not anticpating the PCs' using dimension door to get to the fountain and overlooking the rubbish janni fly speed (15' or 20' unarmoured). With the strings of magical lights creating difficult terrain, it took ages for them to get there as I made the courtyard of the Khanduq of the Four Winds where the fight took place quite big. It didn't really matter as the PCs had to deal with the slippery stairs, the opportunist NPCs and the monkey. Anyway, thanks again for all the advice. It was well worth all the effort!CheersRichard</blockquote>
