Well, I probably would've posted sooner, but I got busy.<br/><br/>As for initiative, regardless of what I end up doing, if two PCs have consecutive turns (either on the same round or by looping back to the start of initiative at the end of a round), they can take their turn in either order.  Ahri had to go before Gered earlier because there was an NPC that took his turn after Ahri but before Gered, but now that he's dead, Gered's free to take his turn before Ahri.  (This combat just happened to have everyone split up with NPCs in between, except for Zitka at the end and Ahri at the start; not calling for both of them on the first round was just me not paying enough attention.)
