  ---------------------
  Dropping an item is a free action, and items may be dropped into adjacent squares, so that would have been a free action. Throwing items further however is a standard ranged attack roll.
  
  Also, by strict interpretation the only time a hide roll may be saved is when either no actions are taken, any actions taken are purely mental, or the same readied action/defensive stance used in the previous turn is 'held' over.
  
  The ref staff is usually lenient on the fuzzier stuff unless your opponent challenges, but physical actions (drawing items, drinking potions, casting spells with somatic components) all by precedent require new hide checks.

conversations:  Well, it's technically Round 6, but it still occurs at the same point.
conversations: Sallera:
conversations: human
conversations:  I meant that I think the post titled with Oro 5th turn doesn't happen.  The readied action occurred in the next round before Oro's initiative count, so Oro's count moves up to what mine is and he forfits a turn.  That 1 HP might make a difference.  I'm still waiting on a ruling for what type of action is required to make a Str check to break the goo.
conversations: Master_Rahl22:
conversations: human
conversations:  Ok, no problem. Though I beleive it is standard... (and it is without bias 😛)
conversations: Scorer:
conversations: human
conversations:  Yes, technically he loses his turn that round.  However, his initiative count ends up just before yours, so as soon as your turn ends, it's his again.  The action happens as listed.  And for the action required, closest I can find is Entangle, which also produces an entangle effect and requires a full-round action, but there may be a closer match elsewhere.
conversations: Sallera:
conversations: human
conversations:  I'm confused about why his initiative count would be slightly before mine now, since the readied action occurred on my turn, and only after I had started some actions.  My reading of the SRD is that his initiative is now exactly equal to mine, and he loses a turn.  This would result in that alchemist fire not being thrown, and it goes right back to my turn again.

  That's why.  His initiative essentially becomes 6.1, and thus after your turn ends, it goes back around to him.
