  Taiom is in the Thicket of Blades stance.
   
  
  
  Starting location: B-13.
  
  Taiom moves in a blur of speed, leaping atop the glass ceiling, then disappearing altogether, only to reappear above you. As he falls, he lashes out at you with a flurry of punches and kicks.
  
  Free: Move half speed to F-13 +20, atop the glass ceiling. (Ex. version of Abundant Step class ability)
  
  Move: Dimension Door to 15 feet above wherever you are (you didn't specify), then fall toward you. (Su. version of Abundant Step class ability, burning one use of daily Ki Power.)
  
  Free: Close eyes, expend another use of Ki Power to gain Blindsight to thirty feet.
  
  Free: Charge attack from Battle Jump feat, augmented with Snap Kick.
  
  Note: These attacks ignore any magic-derived miss chances (Pierce Magical Concealment) and your mirror images (eyes closed, attacking via Blindsight).
  
  Attack 1: Soulwarp, Unbalancing, Stunning Fist:  (1d20+40)[ 53 ]  for  (2d6+33)[ 42 ]  damage.
  
  On hit: 
   Spoiler 
  Fort save, DC 30, or nauseated for one round. On a successful save, you are still sickened for one round. Fort save, DC 34, or stunned for one round. Reflex save, DC 32, or lose your dexterity bonus to AC for one round and give all attackers an additional +2 to hit you.
   
  
  
  Attack2: Unbalancing, Stunning Fist:  (1d20+40)[ 41 ]  for  (2d6+33)[ 42 ]  damage.
  
  On hit:  
   Spoiler 
  Fort save, DC 34, or stunned for one round. Reflex save, DC 32, or lose your dexterity bonus to AC for one round and give all attackers an additional +2 to hit you.
   
  
  
  Not quite done, I still have a standard action left. I'd like to know the results of the above attacks first, though.

  First attack hits, second attack is auto fail.

conversations.value: Jarian: As a matter of fact, it doesn't. Upon rereading the feat however, I see that it allows me to automatically pick out the real version of a mirror image, so I'll take back the Ki Power for activating Blindsight.
  
  Ethereal miss chance (1-20):  (1d100)[ 77 ] 
  
  Edit: So you're stunned (mind that this causes you to drop all held items), nauseated, and unbalanced. Let's see what I can do with a standard action here. Give me a minute to think.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Jarian: Meh, can't do anything worthwhile, so I'll just move back up to U-13 +20, on top of the glass roof.
  
  Do you have a way of preventing stunning, or is it my turn again?

conversations.value: Dresil: Its your turn, and Ethereal Miss chance is 50%
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Jarian: I wasn't aware you were completely ethereal. If it was from something other than Blink, then I wouldn't be able to touch you at all, since I cannot touch the ethereal plane.
  
  However, if it  is  from blink:
  
  
   If the attacker can see invisible creatures, the miss chance is also only 20%. (For an attacker who can both see and strike ethereal creatures, there is no miss chance.) Likewise, your own attacks have a 20% miss chance, since you sometimes go ethereal just as you are about to strike. 
  
  Pierce Magical Concealment obviates miss chances from invisibility effects and a host of other spells.
