Well then, you're right - no 5' steps, means either move (and draw AoO) or shoot (and draw AoO); will just have to hope concealment miss chance protects me, which basically feels like "80% chance Farig disarms you" is coming up 
since there's no way of avoiding the AoO (I don't suppose Ghost is secretly hidden/total concealed at this point), just shoot him as noted, and depending on results of that will declare move action ... if Farig is down, prob regain focus; if Farig is up, will want to move out to beyond undergrowth, as I totally forgot it prevented 5' steps.

Actually, Ghost was hidden; they knew where he was because they had a map, but Ghost still had total concealment. Fortunately for you, that still prevents an AoO. Ghost shoots a pair of arrows at Farig; they both hit, and Farig falls unconscious. T'chak'l T'zk'l can clearly see her foe now.  (TelinArtho, your turn.) Eluria: Spoiler:

Used so far: 2pp, powerstone specified energy adaptation, antitoxin, drow poison, 1 charge dorje of dissolving weapon, 1 use dancing shoes, 1 use lucky shirt, 1 use dorje vigor, 1 arrow, 1 cold iron arrow.
Ever want to try your hand at optimizing, but don't like excessive splatbook use? Come visit the Core Coliseum today, and give it a try.

Ahh, missed that - thought "revealed" was not just shown on map, but as-if seen, etc. That helped, definitely.
Nice rolls, as well.
Will use move action to regain psionic focus after shooting Farig (manyshot is std action)

Farig and Aranea
Show
I suppose that was 2 poison saves from 2 different arrows? I guess that answers what he used burglary on... Grr.
Farig should have a 50% check to determine if she stays in the saddle. If she falls, she'll take damage, but will fall on a random side (which will hopefully not be the side where Ghost is).
Okay - assuming Ghost has no melee weapon in hand, the aranea will move up to the south east of Ghost and throw a web over him (provokes, but he shouldn't be threatening then). If he provokes by trying to CDG or otherwise, bite for damage with shocking grasp as an rider effect.
EDIT - not that it will matter too much, but Whirlwind does have the defend trick - so should be attacking until Farig is killed off.

After Ghost attacks Farig, he regains focus, ignoring a wild kick from Whirlwind (who still has Farig on his back). T'cha'kl T'zk'l moves up and throws another web at Ghost, but the assassin dodges again.
(Eluria, your turn...)

Shoot Aranea w 2 foci- fellshot, manyshot, buffed bane arrow (note PBS, off precog, divine favor all stack), then move w and s, trying to get the horse out of this. Concealment for no aoos?

Cover prevents AoO, concealment does not. Ghost focuses and, using his shield from protection from his target and taking Whirlwind's hooves on his armor, shoots an arrow at T'cha'kl T'zk'l. Blazing with psionic energy, it pierces her magical protections and hits her in an eye, knocking her out. Eluria: Spoiler:

You've almost won, but Farig gets another save against each poison in 9 rounds, and wakes up on success, and that horse could be annoying...

Okay - I started reading the spoilers and I see a bit of an issue - though this is likely an error on the sheet and ultimately wouldn't have changed anything in my tactics.
Fight 1
Time Before Fights: 5h
Prebuffs/Ongoing Effects: none
Items Used: 2 charges from a dorje of dissolving weapon (ML3)
Spells or Powerpoints Used: 2pp (DC)
x/day Abilities Used: truestrike choker x1
Free Activity: burglary
Fight 2
Time Between Fight: 4h
Prebuffs/Ongoing Effects: none
Items Used: Potion of Invisibility (CL3), 1 charge from a dorje of vigor (ML2, aug), Trinket of See Invisibility (CL3), Powerstone of Force screen (ML2), 4 charges from a dorje of Dissolving weapon (ML3), 4 arrows (4 hits)
Spells or Powerpoints Used: 3pp, cast Obscuring mist 1SL
x/day Abilities Used: True Strike from choker, Expeditious retreat from shoes
Free Activity: rob store
Prefight Actions
Gain psionic focus
Powerstones addressed
Attuned to cognizance crystal
Psicrystal focused
Bring psicrystal (propulsion activated)
If attacker, use disguise kit
Prebuff drow poison a Cold Iron arrow pre-F2 ongoing
I didn't see this last line - but looking at the 3FC summary I don't see anything about it. I checked the previous fight (which was mine) and it makes no mention of it.
In the sheet, Ghost looks like he started the cycle with 3 doses, but now apparently only has one.
So basically, it looks like Ghost should have that other arrow with poison as he used against Farig (which was a surprise to me - but like I said, I wouldn't have changed my tactics had I known) and might need to correct an error on the drow poison uses used - depending on if he did in fact use one in fight one.
On the other hand - the next one to mention my terrible dice can be pointed to this fight... Aranea got an average 4.5 on 4 rolls, Farig got 7 on 3 rolls and the horse led them all with 8.4 on 5 rolls. Nice... just nice.

I am certainly not complaining about the ridiculously imbalanced rolls. Re: poison confusion, I see; I'm really sorry it's not in the F2 fight summary, definitely confusing - it was definitely pre-buffed fight 2 and marked off in "used items," and can see it both in the prebuffs here as you say, and on the character sheet history here: community.wizards.com/coco/wiki/Eluria/G...definitely an error not to have it in the F2 fight summary though -- I will try to check those more carefully, he just uses so many items each fight. @Yitzi - did you want Ghost to kill Farig? can I just CdG from adjacent right now, without drawing AoO b/c of concealment?
