  I thought you couldn't see through a hedge square? Either way, my actions remain.
  
  Edit: Quick question though, would shooting at him in these exact conditions carry any penalty for cover or such? Many thanks.
   
conversations: Mysterious_A:
conversations: human
conversations:  Dartanil: 
   Spoiler 
  The hedges are 5ft tall, and Mariachi is 10ft tall while mounted.  There would be no cover bonus, since you can choose the square to attack when attacking a large creature.  Also, I apparently wasn't thinking very clearly earlier, since these conditions mean that you have LoS to Mariachi at the start of the match, not just when you enter S14, so you can revise your turn entirely if you wish.

  Yes! Im desperate! 😁
  Another question what kind of action is to guide mount to do a move action? it doesn't say... Im assuming it is a move action...
  If I make an AoO, would it drop me to -1 if Im disabled at 0hp?

  Yes, of course; projectile weapons are assumed to be loaded at start unless stated otherwise.  The mount uses its own actions to move; just moving requires none of yours.  (Unless you mean telling it to move when you're  not  riding it, in which case you would use the usual Handle Animal rules.)  And yes, given that it calls out quickened spells as an example of strenuous action, I believe an attack would qualify regardless of the action type used to take it.
