You can't ready and dismiss at the same time. However, if you wait for the spell to end naturally while readying, you end up with a similar issue. I handle it like this: If combat is otherwise not active (no offensive actions for 2 rounds or so), I reroll initiative. Once people break off, whether it is to retreat, cast defensive spells, etc ... they stop being combatants and are treated as new combatants when they return to the battle. If all combatants leave a battle this way, then the battle ends and a new battle begins when someone begins to attack or act hostile again.</blockquote>
