Knowing that I could not see what was happening with Runor, I chose to delay until after Seebor's move. I am cool if you are exercising your authority as DM to overrule me, but I just wanted to make sure you understood what my plan was and why, in character, that made sense.

Where is the imp exactly? After Seebor's move, I would like to move to where (1) I am inside Namfoodle's spell (assuming my spellcraft check worked and I know that there is 10 feet of protection), and (2) where I can see the imp, and then fire magic missiles at the imp (already rolled).
If such a position is impossible (or would be too hard for my character to work out in the heat of battle), I will move to F6, F5 or G4 (whichever of these has a view of the wererat - in order of preference) and shoot the same magic missiles (already rolled) at the wererat.
[Note that magic missiles work unless a creature has total cover - even if cover is 99%, the missiles will hit]

Yes, I know how magic missile works. To save the arguments (which I had been anticipating) about whether or not my friendly imp gains full cover or not. The imp flies under the table and you lose sight of him by the table blocking him out. (If you want to argue with me about whether or not the table would block him out, please feel free to email me something exciting with trigonometry). For those who have seen the imp previously, you know he's hiding somewhere in the vicinity of the table as that's where he flew and I’ll give you + something (+6?) I haven’t decided yet on the spot. If you have strong feelings about what this plus should be or about anything else, email me and we'll work it out offline.
Amaryllis. You’ve been hiding behind the door, concentrating on your spell on Runor. You have never seen the imp. You may have heard a high pitched voice (roll if you want to), but you don’t know what type of creature it came from or where it was. If you choose to cease hiding behind the door and walk out into the middle of the room then you can try and find a creature to match the voice. To save time I rolled for you … you don’t see him, he’s hiding. He’s really good at hiding.
Still Amaryllis: Do you know about Namfoodle’s spell. Okay, you’ve been concentrating and listening for Runor/Seebor. To identify a spell is normally DC15. However, since you didn’t roll concentration checks for the your spell to indicate that you weren’t paying almost full attention to your own spell, I think it would be extra hard for you to have picked up on Namfoodle’s spell. As a random thing I’m going to make it DC19. Please note, I did this prior to going back and looking up what you rolled on your spellcraft check. If anyone has a more scientific method of determining if someone could identify a spell whilst they’re concentrating on their own let me know and I’m more than happy to alter this decision. Maybe I should have made you roll a listen check. Not sure. Either way you didn’t hear Neblin’s spell.
General query: Does the DM always feel like the general spoilsport, or am I just special?

OK - Seebor jumps and tumbles over Namfoodle or the table - whichever is easier and then continues as described above.
[tumble check 9+14 = 23]
[jump check 18+11 = 29]
He shouts "Tomas, there is nothing behind you - withdraw slowly and we'll cover you."
Seebor's next action is attacking the wererat.
[right hand: 20 (nat) + 9 - 4 -1 = 24, damage 2+3 = 5]
[left hand: 15 + 9 - 4 -1 = 19, damage 4+2 = 6]
[threat 4 +9 -4 -1 = 8 - bah!]
He then takes a 5 foot step back [to G5].
[OOC: I take it Seebor knows about the Imp because Tomas yelled for help.]

Seebor: Gosh G5 is popular this round ... everyone wants to be there. Sorry Neblin got there first. If he hadn't got there Namfoodle would have, so you can't be there. Please state the square you are tumbling to.
BTW: Tomas and Seebor, it's -1 from attacks due to low ceiling. Remember to subtract -1 from anything involving dex (eg your tumble check).
Amaryllis: F5 or G4 you'd be able to see the were-rat. Please state where you want to go.

[Seebor yells to Amaryllis "Runor's down!", right?]
Tomas will attack D2, as the imp has flown out of reach.
[Fort save vs. imp's sting 10 +5 = 15].
[Attack roll vs D2 : 7 + 5 + 3 + 1 +1 -1 = 16. Probably a miss]
