  LOS is established as Firefox moves into N20.
  
  Xirif is in O21.
  
  This triggers a ready action by Xirif.  Neftren, you may post it when ready.
  
  @Refs: 
   Spoiler 
  From the point the action is triggered, Firefox benefits from Cover from the stone door.  As such, Firefox benefits from +4 AC
   
  
  
  Following the ready action, Play will resume with Firefox's turn, and we'll complete this move action.

  @Firefox:
   
   Spoiler 
  
  Free actions, SRD:
   You can perform one or more free actions while taking another action normally. 
  
  Swift actions, SRD:
   You can take a swift action any time you would normally be allowed to take a free action. 
  
    So now, swift actions are takeable while taking another action.
  
  Immediate actions, SRD:
   Using an immediate action on your turn is the same as using a swift action, and counts as your swift action for that turn. You cannot use another immediate action or a swift action until after your next turn if you have used an immediate action when it is not currently your turn (effectively, using an immediate action before your turn is equivalent to using your swift action for the coming turn). You also cannot use an immediate action if you are flat-footed. 
  
  So, you can use an immediate action on your turn, and has the same timings as a swift, when used on your turn.
  
  Readied actions state that you continue your actions if possible after the readied action.  I don't see anything preventing you from doing so.  I'd say yes, you could move.
  I'm not 100% on this one, so I'd be more comfortable with a high ref ruling on the issue.

  @Refs, Firefox
   
   Spoiler 
  
  I am of the opinion that an immediate action can be taken at any time, which also means mid-action (much like a free action can be).  Therefore, you can abrupt jaunt mid move and then continue moving afterwards.
  
  There is nothing in the RAW that says otherwise, and Talic has already posted what leans this direction.

  It's part of a variant.  You can take an immediate magic in place of your familiar ability, though you have to be a specialist wizard to take an immediate magic, and what you specialize in dictates what your immediate magic is.
