True enough... I myself rolled too high with Mosslime... He's not going to know what to do to be honest. 
Majin, Mosslime is delaying his action.

Ok thats fine Bro. As for the situation on what to do at the moment, there are a few things to think about. First off, this is the first time your characters have seen the lizardfolk threat up close, in person. They haven't had a chance to work up a solid gameplan yet for when they encounter them, so actions are going to run wild at first and people should be confused and second guess their actions until everyone gets a better handle on how and why these lizardfolk are acting this way. (Talking about in character here of course) What I would suggest is that you go with what Bro has said and just act as your character would in that situation. You can sort things out after the battle. This way any uncertainties, or disagreements on party tactics can be worked out in-game. Everyone should feel free to post here in the OOC thread about these things as well, but don't deny your characters the chance to talk about the way they feel about others actions as well, its the perfect oppurtunity to roleplay. 
While Meekus was of the opinion to watch and observe a bit, seeing the lizardmen assault the other small folk have pushed him into his other mode, that of defensiveness and deflection.
Well, to be honest, Ayden's first move is to going to try to take the lizardmen out of hostile mode by calling upon Finder's will.
While I am not sure how the whole "command/rebuke" thing works, as I've never played a priest who could do that, if possible I will order them to freeze where they are.
Majin, does the command thing work like that?

Yes it should work the same way, pg. 159 of the PHB describes Turning/Rebuking/Commanding, which in your case of course only includes Rebuking & Commanding.
Edit: To clarify some more though, they would not be technically "frozen" but everyone receives a +2 bonus to attack them unless they are commanded. So they could still attack you, but hesitantly, in a way that leaves them more open to attack back because of all that cringing. But for your purposes I would rule if they are in "awe" and cowering, they are too busy to be attacking the Halflings anyway, so it still accomplishes your goal if it works.
Edit #2: I went back and checked on this again and the difference between being in awe & cowering seem to be different. Cowering would provide a -2 penalty, take away dex, and prevent any actions from the lizardfolk affected, but awe (as I can't find any mention of it anywhere else ATM) just states a +2 bonus to the parties attacks against the affected creature, they appear to be two different things, so officially, unless pointed somewhere to clarify, we'll go with just what it says under rebuke. (+2 to attack)

I may have missed my size bonus in that place where it's +0. I technically have a +0 BAB, but I do have a +1 size bonus to attacks. I'll try to go fix that sometime today.

Okay, sorry for the long delay. 
I haven't read the IC thread yet, but I'm about to. From the sound of it, we've gotten into some sort of initiative-based action. If that happens again, and I don't reply within 24 hours, please autopilot me. If this keeps up, I'll let you know and drop out, but hopefully my problems will all be fixed in the next week, and I'll be back to normal! Thanks for your patience, all.
CA: I'm all for any IC action/interaction. I won't read outside of it, unless you start sending me love poems by PM.
