Round 1 is equal to what would have been round 11 of the previous combat. So, in this post of your round by round summary of what you wanted Vitus to do (starting with your round 1 [round 8]), this would be your action for round 1 from your spoiler...@Knightfall Just so I can line up my brain to the round we are on. In what round of the new combat did Vitas post? I'm assuming it was just before round 1 because it's not my turn in the initiative yet?
You weren't able to get to casting detect magic, which would have been the next round.Sustain on the Knight, Big Tim, Akos and Spritewing(so rockhorn doesn't have to worry about them)
Vitus was dazed in round 8 (since he came after the bugbear in the old initiative order), helped Vinny in round 9, attuned the genie and knight in round 10, and cast sustain in round 11 (the new round 1) just as the Loyalist come through the other portal into the temple to the northwest.
I'm going to roll initiative for them right now. Assume that the living altar called out its warning when the first Loyalists passed through the portal into that temple.
If you would rather not cast sustain on the genie and the knight, you can make that choice.
EDIT: Calling out to Ting would be a free action.
